I’m halfhuman
“Please, you can’t come in yet, ma’am. The nurse said to Ellie, who was about to follow her mom into the private room. Alex had ordered the doctor to take a full body check, even if it warranted admitting Ms. Loren.
“OK.” She said, still looking at the closed door. She watched the door for a few minutes before turning back to Alex, who was standing far away from her.
She walked towards him and grabbed his hand to walk him out. “Follow me.”
“Ellie. Wait. What are you doing?” Callum quickly stopped her. He knew that she was not in her right mind. She looked so angry that she could kill anything that upset her, but he wasn’t worried about Alex.
“What am I doing? Really? Your mom tried to kill my mother, Alex. Why? All because she knows I’m half human.” She tried to suppress her tears, but they just kept running out. “And not only that. She’s even responsible for my parent’s death.” She said, only to leave Alex and Callum shocked.
“Yes, you heard it right. She said before moving closer to him. “Why did they have to be punished because they love each other?”
She cried and hit his chest with her hands before she finally stopped. “My parents did nothing wrong, Alex. Why did they have to be killed in such a gruesome manner?! I lived all my life happily without knowing that my parents were killed brutally by someone. I even lived in your house and smiled at you.”
She was so angry that she wasn’t even thinking about what she was saying. She moved away from him again. “Not only did I find out about these frustrating secrets from the dark forest, It has also made me realize what kind of person you are. I’ve tolerated you and your world enough, Alex. My mom is something I can never risk again.” Ellie said before cleaning her face with her palms.
With no emotion on her face, she placed her hands together and begged, “I don’t want to ever see your face again, Mr. Warren. Please, leave.”
Alex just stood, rooted to the ground, hearing her say those words. He was still surprised by all the things he was hearing. “Ellie.” He said as he took a step forward, but Callum held his arm and shaken his head lightly. “Don’t.”
He looked at her again and sighed before turning around to leave. Callum also looked back at the girl behind her; he had not heard a single word from her since he saw her. He knew that she must have been shocked, and a lot of questions must be flowing through her mind.
“And also. Tell your mom not to even think of hurting a strand of hair on my mom’s head. She won’t want to know what a half-human like me is capable of.” She said before they could leave.
She watched as they left before falling to the ground. The tears kept falling out. Christina walked slowly to her and knelt down beside her. She hugged her, and they both cried in each other’s arms, forgetting they were in the hospital.
They only stood up and composed themselves when the doctor came out of the room. “You should stop crying now. Your mom is fine.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She nodded her head and cleaned up the tears on her face. She wished she could cry more. It felt like there was a tap in her eyes that just kept rushing out water. “Can I see her now?”
“Yes,” the doctor replied.
“You should go. I’ll wait.” Christina said it calmly. She knew she needed time with her mom alone.

“Hello! Come to my house right now. I must not get home before you.” He stood in front of his car and dialed a number. He did not even wait for the person to reply before he hung up.
“Alex. I think you should come with me in my car.” Callum suggested, but Alex did not answer. He just got into the car and drove off.
He walked into the house and saw Maya, who was already waiting for him. “Brother!” She said as she stood up from her seat.
Going straight to the point. “When did Ellie know that she wasn’t human? Was it when she went to that dark forest?” Alex asked, only to shock his sister.
“What… are you talking about, brother? What’s going on?” She asked back, looking at him and Callum.
“Just answer my questions, Maya. When did Ellie know that her parents were dead?”
Maya could not say a word. She did not expect that type of question from her brother when she and Ellie had planned to sit him down and tell him.
“Maya, you have to give us an answer. Ellie’s mom got kidnapped today by the former Luna.” Callum joined the conversation; he knew that Alex was already running out of patience.
“Mom? Mom kidnapped Ellie’s mom?!” She asked, but Alex suddenly screamed at her before she could get an answer. “Maya!”
She knew that there was no point in lying again. “Ellie told me something had been going on with her before we went to the dark forest to get the antidote. Her eyes had been changing to a green color, and she had been feeling weak. And I felt that she might not be human, so I took her to meet Agnes.” She said before that she was cut off by Callum.
“You took her to meet Agnes? When?”
“Yesterday.” She replied, only to see Alex sitting on the couch with his hands rubbing his face. Agnes casted a spell on her to see the past, but she just woke up suddenly, screaming that her parents were killed. Maya explained everything but made sure not to get close to Alex.
“I think she’s a white wolf.” She explained everything to them, including how she changed like she was possessed and how she almost killed Agnes’s daughter.
Alex looked up to her. The only thing he could say was, “Are you even my sister? All this has been going on, and you couldn’t think of informing me?”
“She must hate me so much now. I can’t believe I accused her without even knowing what was going on.” He ran his hands through his hair. He was angry at himself and, at the same time, pained that his mother had done such a thing.
“I lived all my life happily without knowing that my parents were killed brutally by your mom. I even lived in your house and smiled at you, Alex.” The words kept resonating in his head like music. How could he even ignore her when she had looked so disturbed and sad the past few weeks?
“Alex.” Callum called out before walking towards him, but he ignored him. He stood up and went up the stairs, but not before looking back at Callum. “I want the former Luna out of the Supreme by tomorrow.”
He said to Callum and left before he could say a word.
“What’s going on, Callum? Why is Alex sending mom out of the Supreme?”
Callum sighed before replying. “She killed Ellie’s parents and kidnapped her mom.”
Maya could not say a word. She once thought that the werewolves must have killed her parents, but she wasn’t expecting her mother.
“You should have told us about what was going on, Maya.” Callum said to her before walking out of the house. Maya just stood in that same position. “Mom.”
