My Mate From Another World

Adeline

“Next time you do that, I’ll make sure you end up lying on your floor,” Daniel replied. “Are you testing me?”

“That’s supposed to be a good hit if you hadn’t shown up. Or rather, if I hadn’t come back yet.”

“What do you mean?” He asked, confused, before his eyes widened and he added, “Don’t tell me you went back to that Alpha who claims you.” I couldn’t deny it to him, so I just nodded my head. I know he’s of no help, but he’s still my brother, and he loves me just like I love him.

“This is the third time, actually,” I told him.

“And you didn’t tell me about the second time.”

“I was worried that you’d get worried,” I replied. “Wait, come in first, and sit. I didn’t want anyone to hear anything we will discuss today.” He closed the door before walking to my bed and sitting, while I sat on the couch opposite him.

“So, you want to talk to me about something?”

“Yeah, but I only want to tell you this now because I don’t think I will be able to get answers if I keep it to myself,” I answered.

“How’s the Alpha?”

“He’s good. I mean, from the way I see him, he’s fine. He may have some pack problems, but I think he’s good enough to handle those.”

“How is he as a mate?”

“How would I know? I can’t smell him yet.”

“Don’t you feel anything for him? As in, nothing at all?”

“To be honest, I do.”

“So he’s really your mate!” he exclaimed.

“But I didn’t want to entertain that idea.”

“Why? Because of Mike?”

“I didn’t want to hurt him, so I told Kaiser, well, that’s his name, that I was going to reject him if I confirmed that he was my mate.”

“Wow! You know you’re bad.”

“What else can I do?”

“That’s why you should have listened to Dad. You know what? You still have a chance. Break up with Mike now before it’s too late.”

“It’s easy for you to say, but I can’t.”

“Why? Don’t tell me you still feel that intense feeling that you’ve been telling me about before. Adeline, I am not going to believe you. Admitting to me that you feel something for Alpha only means that the mate bond is already working on you.”

“I can’t hurt Mike, Daniel.”

“But you have to. It’s your happiness and forever that’s at stake. You can’t just continue having a relationship with him when you love someone else. That’s not fair, not only to you but especially to Mike.”

“You don’t understand, Kaiser, and I have no future.”

“How can you say that?”

“How are we going to continue this mate bond thing if I don’t know how, and when will I ever be pulled into his world?”

“You really had no idea why you were being pulled there?”

“Yes! I’ve been trying to tell him that as well, but he was so adamant about making that romantic reasoning about us being fated and about the moon goddess having something in store for us. I mean, how am I supposed to believe that?”

“Why can’t you believe that? Haven’t you heard how happy those mated couples are in our pack? It’s as if it was the best thing that ever happened to them,” he replied.

“Do you actually believe that?” I asked.

“Look, Adeline, I don’t have a mate yet, so I can’t vouch for them with my own experience. But seeing how they are now, I don’t think they are lying either. For example, look at Dad. How lively he was when Mom was still alive and now that she’s gone. You saw how he was back then compared to now that he had lost mom.”

“I don’t know, Daniel. For now, even if I feel something towards Kaiser, I still know and feel that I love Mike, and I don’t want to hurt him,” I said exasperatedly, drastically ending our conversation about the mate thing.

My brother just sat there quietly. He looked like he wanted to say something, or maybe he wanted to argue more since he agreed with our father. Even if he didn’t say it, I knew that he also yearned for his mate and would want me to be with my fated mate, and that didn’t help me.

“Anyway, as for the human girl, we still haven’t got a clue who did it,” he said.

“Is that the reason you are here?”

“Yes. And it bothers me and father. He was even worried about our omegas. He wanted them to train with the others as well, but he didn’t know how he would persuade them.”

“Yeah, most of them are scared. Although some are ready to fight, it’s not enough.”

“What do you think we can do about it?” he asked.

“Do you want me to talk to them? Especially the women?” I asked. He looked at me and nodded. Being a woman, even if I am an alpha’s daughter, there are still pack members who don’t believe in my capabilities. It didn’t bother me since I have the motto of showing them what I have. I always give them the result of all my missions within and out of the pack.

“I know that there are omegas who don’t believe in you, but most of them do. Eventually, they will do as you say since you’re an alpha’s daughter.”

“Why not do it yourself? You’re the next alpha, you know.”

“I want to concentrate on investigating the deaths of those young human girls. Not to mention the alpha’s daughter, who, until now, after a thorough investigation of their pack, has had no result at all.”

“Then I am going to try my best. I just hope that they’ll listen to me before I get pissed off and lose my temper.”

“Please be patient with them; they are after all our pack members,” he warned. I don’t get it; he knew how I was when it came to training. How come he still wants me to do it? “And the next time you visit your mate’s world, don’t forget to tell me. I want to know what is going on with you so I won’t get shocked when you suddenly don’t return.”

With that, I was stunned. He has a point. What if one day I suddenly didn’t return to my world? How am I going to see them? Shit! I really need to find out about this phenomenon. I can’t be too complacent and wait for the time I get pulled in and out of my own world.
