My Mate From Another World

Adeline

“How did you manage to live without seeing me for a long time?” I asked. I’m at Milka’s house, so it means I agreed to Daniel’s suggestions. She is my best friend and the only one who understands my feelings for Mike. I don’t know, but that’s how I see it. She only listens whenever I tell her about how Dad and my brother try to make me break up with my boyfriend.

“Why do I have this feeling that you only see me because you want to know something?” she asked in reply. Shit! She’s really fast. Is that how transparent I was? “So I thought,” she added when I didn’t say anything, then continued reading her book. She’s always like that-my exact opposite. I don’t like reading, but she loves it. She told me that, as a witch, she needs to learn continuously.

“Milks,” I began. She sighed, put down her book, and looked at me seriously, which was far from her normal self. She’s gullible, always making jokes and fun out of everything.

“I have no plan on telling you this, but since you’re curious, I might as well prepare you for something I know you don’t want to accept,” she began. I was holding my breath as I sat on the comfy couch. I remember we bought this together in a thrift shop and brought it to the upholstery shop of one of our human friends. “I know how much you love Mike. Ever since you’ve been together, he has been your word of mouth. I listened and encouraged you because that’s how you feel, and for me, loving someone was never wrong.”

“Milks..” I said it in a low voice, but she raised her hand with her palm facing me, telling me to stop and let her finish.

“By this time, someone must have claimed you.”

“How did you know?”

“I didn’t know that I was able to see a glimpse of the future until I saw yours.”

“What do you mean?” I asked curiously. I didn’t know about that either. As she said, she was always supportive of me and my beliefs. She always listens whenever I rant over Dad and Daniel.

“I was sleeping, and out of nowhere, I woke up in the middle of the night after what I thought was a nightmare.” She started again. “It was you in my dream and a man whom I thought was your mate. He was an alpha, and you’re both happy. Your pack adores you, and everyone accepts you. But something came up, trying to separate you. Someone wanted to take you away from your mate, and he succeeded. I saw how much you suffered, so I decided to leave and find out something about it. I’m not good with dreams, but I remember that there’s a witch who could decipher it, but I failed.”

“What are you talking about?” I asked, confused. If Kaiser was the mate she was referring to, then the conversation I heard in his world about someone wanting me might be the man that Milka is talking about. “I am not accepting that man yet; it’s not a blue moon yet, so I can’t confirm his claim.”

“You know that it’s going to be a blue moon in more than a month. It was also the reason why I came back, even if I didn’t find anything about my dream. I want you to be ready, and while it’s still early, break up with Mike.”

“Why did you have to say that?” I asked, hurt. Of all people, she’s the last person I was expecting to tell me to do what Dad and Daniel wanted me to do.

“You will only hurt him in the end. Not just him, but you as well. You’d feel guilty and responsible if something happened to me after your breakup.”

“Are you telling me that everything’s going to get out of hand? I would find my mate, but instead of having a harmonious life, I would experience the opposite.” I feel hurt because everything that happens seems to be senseless. I mean, why me?

“It’s not exactly like that; I told you I was trying to find out about it,” she replied,

“You should have told me, so I came with you. This is the life that we are talking about. I should have the say on everything.”

“I didn’t want you to think that I didn’t want you and Mike to be together. All this time, I’ve supported you because you’re my friend, and all I want is the best for you. And admit it, besides Mike and your fated mate, you still have things to look into. I heard about the killings here and there.” That made me lean back as I massaged my temple. Then she reminded me of the very reason why I was here. My interdimensional travel.

“There’s a lot on my plate, but what I want to know first and foremost is how I am going to stop myself from getting pulled into my mate’s world,” I said. She looked at me with a creased forehead.

“Interdimensional?” I nodded, and her eyes widened. “You’ve been into another world, and you’re not telling me?” she exclaimed.

“You just arrived, and I just came here, right?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“But you should have told me about it as soon as you got here. Why did we have to talk about you and Mike?”

“Excuse me?”

“Anyways, your mate is from another world that you are talking about.”

“Yes, and I am having a problem,” I replied and started telling her what happened and my worries about my stay at Kaiser’s world.

“I have never been to another world, but you said you’re being pulled there. What could be the reason?”

“The alpha who claims me as his mate is from that world,” I answered.

“It’s not it,” she replied quickly. “For a person to be pulled to another world, they must have something in them that connects to that world.”

“In my case, isn’t it Kaiser already?”

“No, he found out that you’re his mate after you showed up there, right? He has a connection to you, but not you to him since you can’t smell him yet. It should be him who will be pulled here, not the other way around.”

“Are you telling me that there’s a part of me that belongs there or something?” I asked with wide eyes. That’s unbelievable if you ask me. I can’t think of anything that could connect me there.

“Or something,” she replied. “And I’m itching to find that out,” she added. I rolled my eyes at her because of the excitement evident in her eyes. She was always challenged to do something she thought was impossible to figure out, and I had a feeling that she would never stop and would never leave my side unless I brought her with me when I returned to Kaiser.

“You have to tell me whenever you’re going to your mate,” she said in a commanding tone.

“No,”

“Why not?”

“Because I don’t know how.”

“What do you mean you don’t know?” She was confused, so I told her how I got to Kaiser’s world and how I came back to ours. I intently look at her, waiting for her reply. “Elda didn’t tell you anything?”

“She’s mad at me because of Mike, remember? I asked her the first time, but she ignored me. If I had not felt her inside me, I would have thought that I had already lost her.”

“I think you need to talk to her. If there was someone who might know something about what was going on with you, it should be her. Your wolf is the one who was capable of connecting to Selene.”

“So, I can’t get any answer from you?”

“I need to look into it. But one thing I’m sure of is that you’re being pulled there because there’s something in you that connects you to that world. As to what that was, I have no idea. But I am willing to help you find that out,” she answered, her eyes gleaming with excitement. I’m sure that she’s excited about the knowledge she might acquire in unfolding this mystery.
