My Mate From Another World

Adeline

‘What are you talking about?’ I asked,

‘I can help you go to mate’s world,’ she answered.

‘As in, now?’

‘Yes.’ My eyes widened in disbelief. Does she really know that we can go to Kaiser’s world at any time we want?

‘Did you doubt me? We can go there now if you want.’

‘Wait, I’m with Milka, you idiot. I can’t leave her here by herself. Daniel’s going to kill me if something happens to her.’

‘Then hurry and bring her back to the pack house,’ she replied arrogantly, which made me roll my eyes.

“Hey, girl! What’s going on? Are you fighting with Elda again?” My friend’s question caused me to blink several times before responding.

“Hurry and finish your food; we must return to the pack house.”

“Why? Did something happen?” She asked worriedly. “Did something happen to your brother?”

“Nothing happened to him or anyone. We need to go because I remembered something.” I told her. I didn’t want her to know about what Elda had said to me because she would not stop until I agreed to bring her with me. It’s not that I don’t want to. I’m just worried about her since I don’t know what will happen if she comes with me. What if she can never come back here? How will Daniel accept that?

Just as I wanted, we went home after our meal, and Daniel eagerly waited for us. I shook my head, thinking how worried he was while we were away. I went straight to my bedroom and freshened up. I wanted to come to Kaiser as clean as possible. ‘Elda, are you there?’ I called out after I was done.

‘Yeah. I was waiting for you. Why do you have to take a bath?’ She asked, and I rolled my eyes at her. Does she need to ask that?

‘So, tell me. Do you know how we are going to go to our mate?’ I asked, then turned away.

‘Of course!’ she exclaimed. ‘I already told you I can bring us there.’

‘Then, what are you waiting for? Let’s go.’ I replied, and then I was facing Kaiser in his office.

“That was fast,” he said as soon as he saw me.

“What?”

“You.”

“You’re expecting me?”

“Kylo said that you’d be here,” he replied. So even his wolf knows something.

“Did he tell you more?” I asked curiously, but he just shook his head. “Come on, I know he told you something.”

“Didn’t Elda talk to you?”

“We talked but stopped because Dad came,” I answered. It happened last night; we went straight to Dad’s office after our meal for a meeting, and I was busy this morning, so we had no time to talk again. “Are you not going to tell me what he told you?”

“If you tell me what you have been doing there since last night,” he replied, so I pouted. I didn’t know that I had this side of me. I always appear tough with Mike because I know in my heart that I need to protect him at some point.

“Meeting with Dad and the others. I told them what was happening here, and there were some things that they wanted to know as well.”

“Like what?”

“Like, if there’s an incident in the pack about dead bodies like yours whose family members refused to accept.”

“Why?”

“We are thinking that the man that my friend and I saw in the memories of the dead bodies found around our border is trying to switch people between our worlds. We are thinking that he killed those who didn’t want to join him. And for the dead bodies, we also think that he killed them here, and their counterparts lived in our world and vice versa.” I saw him nod, probably thinking that way too.

“And what else did you do there?” he asked.

“Milka and I went to the police station to seek help gathering information about whether we have cases like yours in other stations.”

“The police you talked to know about me?” He asked again, and I nodded.

“Along with your world,” I answered.

“So, supernatural beings and humans work together in your world, huh?”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Yes, I began to worry about this situation. How will you help humans if you have to be discreet in giving some information to the police?”

“We have our ways, and I am influential in this world, baby,” he replied, which made me roll my eyes at him. “Don’t tell me to stop calling you that way because that won’t happen. I’ll call you however I want,” he replied, kissing my hand on his office table after bringing it to his lips. My heart fluttered, and I couldn’t stop my face from turning red. I’m sure about it. Is he always like this? Making me feel like I’m the most beautiful woman on earth?

“Speaking of influential, how did you manage to take care of your business and, at the same time, your pack?” I asked curiously. I can tell that he’s a good alpha, and besides that, he is also a werewolf council head. I wonder how he divides his time with all the responsibilities he has on his shoulders.

“It was difficult in the beginning. There’s a lot on my plate, and the responsibilities are too much for me. However, I had the support of good friends and people who helped me during my initial stages. My father did the same thing then, so he trained me beforehand. In the company, I hired good people. Even pack members who finished college were mostly omegas, and they were the ones who were looking after the businesses now. Keisha was managing even though she was still studying. Still, I talked to her and decided to let a professional handle everything in the company, and we would monitor it.”

“So, you’re not working for the company anymore?”

“I still have the last say on every decision, though.” I nodded and admired him for being so reliable. His priority is the pack, but he also knows they need the company to support it. “How about yours?”

“My brother and I are not fond of the corporate world, so we stayed in the pack. Dad hoped he could depend on me to run our business since I’m a woman and Daniel will inherit his title. But sorry for him; I would rather have my blade and sword than a computer. So, someone else manages our company as well.”

“Have you seen someone who looks like me in your world?” he asked suddenly, which made me crease my forehead. I shook my head and answered,

“I would have told you if there was. Why?”

“Nothing; I was just wondering. Since you told me that the man you saw might have been exchanging people in our worlds,” he casually replied, so I shrugged my shoulders and didn’t think about it anymore.

“Anyway, did Kylo tell you about where he and Elda stayed the last time I was here?”

“Yes. And I think it was also why you stayed longer than we expected,” he answered.

“That’s what I think too. Elda has no idea about it, either. But as soon as she talked to me when we were about to have dinner, I was back in my world.”

“I think they’re together again in that place,” he replied.

“Then we have to take advantage of this time. We have to find something that may lead us to the solution to the problem that we are facing right now.” I replied, and he nodded in agreement. But I noticed something, so I asked, “Is there anything you wish to tell me?”

“What? No, why do you ask?”

“You seemed off. I don’t know; I can’t explain it. I just had a feeling that something’s bothering you.”

“You know the usual pack problems.”

“Rogues?” I asked, and he nodded again, smiling. “I doubt that,” I added, which made the smile on his face vanish.

“Why?”

“We have rogue problems, but I never saw Dad looking the way you are right now. You look like when my father was thinking about my mother.” Yeah, that’s it. There’s some worry and loneliness on his face. Why did I only notice it now when we have been talking here for a while?

“What about your mother?” he asked curiously.

“She died, and Dad misses her,” I answered, causing him to widen his eyes. “Are you thinking about me? Is there something that came to your attention that is or might be connected to me that is making you worry?” I asked continuously. As much as possible, I didn’t want him to worry too much about me. I can fight, and I can defend myself.

“You’re overthinking it; there’s nothing to worry about. Rogues have been camping around my border lately, and as you already know, they were looking after a luna-my Luna, I think,” he answered. It was believable, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that he was hiding something from me.
