Finally married
Ellie kept controlling her anger. Despite how she warned him not to bring food for her again, he still brought dinner, which he later gave his mom. She couldn’t do anything because her mother was so happy with Alex.
She felt so hungry that she thought of going to the hospital’s cafeteria. She couldn’t believe she could survive the whole day without eating good food. She waited for her mom to go to sleep before leaving the room.
She was surprised to see that the floor she was on was so quiet. She knew that it was already late, but she was not expecting a quiet floor. She did not even see anyone she could ask where the cafeteria was. “I don’t know why he would request for my mom to be transferred to a private room.” She said to herself before walking towards the elevator to go to the reception to ask.
She entered the elevator and was happy when she saw that it was not crowded. Only an old man was standing in it.
“Good evening.” She heard the old man greet her, to which she also replied. It didn’t take long after the elevator closed before it opened back, and the old man stepped out, but before the elevator could close again, a man suddenly stopped it with his hand and entered. He was wearing a black hoodie, and Ellie couldn’t see his face because he was turned away from her.
As soon as the elevator started to move again, the man suddenly turned to her and rushed towards her. Ellie was taken aback; she was about to scream, but the man suddenly removed his hood and covered her mouth.
Sam! She called out before pushing him away from her. “What are you doing here?!”
“I’m not here to answer questions because I don’t have much time. Your darling mate got this place surrounded with securities that it was difficult to get into unnoticed,” he said. Ellie was surprised to hear that Alex had the whole hospital surrounded by security. She wanted to ask Sam more about it, but she just kept quiet. “Why did he get the hospital surrounded by security? Could it be that he knew Sam would come to see me?”
“Why haven’t you done what I asked you to do? What’s delaying you? Is it because of your mom?”
“You know about my mom?” Ellie asked with a surprised tone.
“Why else would you be in the hospital? I know everything that goes on around here,” he said before sighing. “We don’t have much time. Do this and avenge those other half-humans like us that have been killed brutally. Your parent’s death deserves to be avenged, Ellie.” He said, knowing that it was only her parents’s deaths that could encourage her more to do what he wants.
Ellie did not say a word. In fact, she did not know what to say. “You must do it before tomorrow night. Remember, those innocent lives should be the only thing you think about. I will call you.” As soon as he said those words, the elevator opened, and he disappeared into thin air.
Ellie did not move from where she was standing. She was caught in the choice of obeying her mother by marrying Alex and avenging the innocent lives the Blue Moon Pack had killed by also killing their alpha, even though she knows he doesn’t know anything about it.
The next morning,
Ellie could not sleep well the whole night. She kept thinking about how to solve the problem. Not that she was also happy to know that she might kill someone, but she just hated the thought that Alex’s pack was responsible for the innocent people’s deaths and also her parents’s deaths, which she wasn’t sure of yet.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Alex came to pick her up from the hospital so that they could go and register their marriage. He kept wondering who her witness was because Ellie hadn’t said anything about her own witness, unlike Callum, his own witness, who was already on his way to court. He just sighed and kept the questions in his mind.
Ellie, on the other hand, was still thinking about whether she was making the right decision. She had been quiet ever since she left the hospital; she couldn’t forget the smile on her mother’s face when she heard that she was going to register her marriage that morning.
They got to the court, where they would register their marriage. Callum was already waiting for them at the entrance. He was surprised when Alex called him and told him that he was getting married and that his bride was Ellie, which he thought was impossible.
Callum noticed that Ellie was looking disturbed, which made him more curious about what had happened the two days since he last saw Alex.
Alex, on the other hand, was still wondering who Ellie had called as her witness. They took all the necessary steps until the official asked for Ellie’s witness. “She’s on her way.” As soon as those words came out of her mouth, the door opened, and Christina entered. “I’m sorry I came late.”
Alex finally relaxed; he thought Ellie did not have any witnesses and might be having doubts about signing the papers. And he was right. When it was time to sign the marriage papers, Ellie suddenly started feeling scared and sweaty that the official had to ask her if she was forced into marriage, but she quickly shook her head and finally signed the papers.
“I can’t believe this. I’m married to Alex.” She whispered to herself as she kept staring at the papers. She kept staring at the papers until she was brought out of her thoughts by Christina, who hugged her. That was when she realized she had become someone’s wife. “Ellie! How are you doing? How is your mom now?”
She stood up and gave her a weak smile. “She’s getting better. Thank you.” Christina knew that she was just trying to cover her pain; she didn’t know why Ellie suddenly wanted to get married, especially when her mom was sick, but she knew better than to ask her uncomfortable questions.
“Are you going to the hospital? If you don’t mind, let’s go together. I’d like to say hello to her.” Christina said. Callum, who was just looking at them, kept wondering what was going on; he wanted to ask what happened to Ellie’s mom from Alex, but not when Ellie was there.
“We should go now,” Alex said.
“I’ll also go with you. Miss Jones can come with me in my car.” Callum said, knowing that the girl would not want to be a third party between Alex and Ellie, but he was surprised when he heard her reply.
“It’s fine. I’d like to be with my friend.” Christina replied with a half-smile.
“What? You’ll go with the both of them.” Callum asked; he was surprised that the girl didn’t understand the point of leaving the new couple alone.
“Yes. Is there a problem?” Christina asked.
Callum wanted to shout that there was a problem, but seeing Alex and Ellie staring at him, he just smiled back. “Whattever you want.”
He did not wait for her reply before he walked towards his car. He was angry for an unknown reason and was just hiding it with a smile, but only Alex knew best.
