My Mate From Another World

Adeline

Kaiser became quiet as he listened to the caller. Because of the sudden change in his expression, I was about to ask him what it was about when Elda suddenly popped into my mind. ‘I’m back,’ she said, and just like that, I was back in our world. I was exactly where I was sitting before I was pulled into Kaiser’s world, except that Dad and the others were not here anymore.

‘What was that about, Elda?’ I exclaimed.

‘What?’ she asked, confused.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

‘You just came back, and I am back here too.’

‘Where?’

‘In our world, where else?’

‘Can you elaborate?’ she asked,

‘Okay,’ I replied, telling her what happened and how long I had stayed in Kaiser’s world. She was shocked after hearing everything. ‘So, tell me. Where were you the whole time that I couldn’t contact you?’ I asked.

‘I was with Kylo.’

‘What? As in?’

‘Yes, I couldn’t believe it either. But after we appeared in their world, he reached out to me, and suddenly we were together.’

‘And where is that exactly?’

‘It’s in another realm, I think. You know, where you can see the moon goddess after you die.’

‘There’s a place like that?’

‘Yes. And I’m sure that at this moment, he was also trying to explain to Kaiser.’

‘Did the length of my stay in their world have to do with you leaving us for a moment?’ I asked curiously.

“Adeline, dear?” I heard Dad, so I turned, and he stood there with teary eyes. “Oh, I thought something bad had happened to you,” he said before coming closer to me, so I stood up and embraced him. I feel touched because I can feel his worries about me. He is my father, and he acted this way. How much more does Kaiser, my mate, have to deal with this forever? How is he coping with our situation?

“Dad,” I said, and Elda decided to retreat to the back of my head and promise to talk to me later when we’re alone.

“Where were you, dear?” he asked.

“I told you, in Kaiser’s world.”

“You just disappeared before us. I was shocked, and even though Daniel and Milka knew about it, they had been in shock and worried sick about you since yesterday.”

“I’m sorry for making you guys worry. I know it’s hard, but you must start getting used to it. I get pulled in and out of Kaiser’s world without a warning. I don’t have control over it, so what happened yesterday might happen again and again until we have found what causes it or find out how I will be able to control it.”

“I feel sorry for you and Kaiser, dear. It must have been hard knowing you’d see each other only to be separated again. Waking up in the morning and seeing your mate is the best thing that ever happened to me, and I want you and Daniel to experience that.” Dad said it emotionally. He must have remembered my mom and how they were when they were still together.

“We will try to get to the bottom of this, Dad. Kaiser is excellent and brilliant. He had a lot of resources, too, so I am confident that we will be able to find out what was happening. Why have we been mated to each other even if we’re from two different worlds?”

“Adeline, you’re back.” It was Daniel. When I turned to see him with Dad, he looked relieved. Milka was beside him, smiling.

“Yeah, did you miss me already?”

“You had me worried there, bratty,” he replied, and I laughed hard. I remember how Kaiser also controlled his anger for her little sister, and I realized that.

“I am not a brat.”

“Says who?”

“Says me?” And we all laugh.

“Have you eaten, dear?” Dad asked, so I shook my head.

“I was about to, but just like what happened yesterday, I found myself back here.”

“Then let’s go and eat.” Yes, we need to eat because we will discuss the topics that Kaiser and I previously discussed.

“Are you telling me that there are some killings there as well?” Dad asked, shocked, and I nodded. We are in Dad’s office with Daniel, Milka, Beta Mari, and Gamma Remus. It was late at night, but this can’t be delayed.

“Then it’s possible that your mate bond with Kaiser has something to do with it?” Milka added.

“Okay, let’s talk about the man you are talking about. Are you sure you don’t know who he was?” Dad asked,

“Just like Milka, I only saw him with a decaying face that had started regenerating,” I answered.

“Dear, what about the same face you saw as Adeline?” Dad turns to my friend.

“I saw someone who looked like her casually looking at the decaying man. It seems like they know each other very well, and she knew exactly what the man was doing because she didn’t look afraid or scared,” Milka answered.

“It’s possible that the girl was Adeline’s counterpart in their world.” Beta Mari commented, and we all agreed.

“Could it be that we also have our counterparts there?” Gamma Remus asked, and we all looked at each other. It’s possible. “Based on what was going on in another world, it seems that there is someone who brought everyone’s counterparts into our worlds and exchanged them,” he added.

“And they kill them,” Daniel said. “Because they knew that they would get confused, and the one behind it was worried that it may start an investigation when any of them would turn to the police or pack and inform them about their world. It will spread like wildfire to different packs and eventually to whoever that man’s enemy is.”

“The dead bodies in Kaiser Worlds technically came from here. And those who came from my mate’s world live here, acting like they belong here.” I replied.

“Who are they, Adeline?” Dad asked, “The dead bodies that had been found in your mate’s world-who are they? What kind of people are they? Are there wolves too?” he asked continuously.

“That I forgot to ask. Kaiser just told me about it. I haven’t considered it until now because I was busy spending time with my mate. I’m so sorry, Dad. I was thoughtless.”

“No, dear, it’s not your fault. I understand you,” he replied.

“But what are we going to do about the girl who looks like Adeline?” Beta Mari asked, which puzzled us. “What if Kaiser saw her there? Would he know that she’s not his mate?”

“I think so,” I replied, and they all looked at me. Remember the dead man that you thought was your friend? I saw him in Kaiser’s world as a rogue. The moment I saw his dead body, I thought it was him, too, but after a closer look, I knew that there was something off. I instantly believed that they were two different people.”

“Well, it’s good if that’s the case,” Dad said.

“And the dead bodies found in Kaiser’s world were refused by some of their families. They don’t believe it was their family member because of some differences only they can point out.” I told them.

“Do we have any similar cases here?” Dad asked again.

“As far as I know, your friend is the first,” Daniel answered. Yes, we haven’t received any information from Officer Hunt. And I hope we don’t have it; Dad’s friend was just an isolated case.

“We can’t let that man do whatever he wants; we must stop him from bringing wolves or people from Kaiser’s world here and vice versa.” Gamma Remus said, and we all agreed.

“You know what scares me?” Dad asked abruptly. We all looked at him curiously. “Is that, whoever that man is, he was trying to form an army for both worlds. He was preparing for a war or a battle.”

What Dad said scares me. What if it was true? What if that man wanted something in both worlds? If that’s the case, what is it? Whatever it is, one thing is sure: We can’t let him succeed. The fact that he had been offering innocent girls’ lives to regenerate himself and prolong his life only means that he’s good for nothing. Whatever he was planning was for his selfish reasons. And I will not let that happen, even if it costs my life.
