My Mate From Another World

Adeline

Finally, I told Dad everything. Although he had no idea about what was going on, he promised that he would find everything he could that would help me and Kaiser be together. He was happy and, at the same time, sad for Mike.

Speaking of Mike, I need to talk to him and let him know what happened to me and Kaiser. Although he knew that I would end up choosing my mate, it’s still not good to keep them from learning the truth. He promised me that he would set me free once I found my fated mate, and I think it’s also time for me to set him free as well.

‘Are you sure that you’re just going to talk to him and will not screw up with him?’ Elda asked suspiciously, so I raised a brow at her. Well, technically, she can’t see it, but I know that she could feel what I’m feeling. ‘I know how much you love him; do you think you can let him go just like that?’

‘You’re worried, and I get that. But please don’t think that I’m going to continue our relationship, knowing he will get hurt. As you already said, I loved him.’

‘Okay, I will let you two talk. But after this, we will go to Kaiser. We need to tell him what is going on here. I don’t know, but I have had strange feelings lately.’ She replied, and I believed her because I could feel her uneasiness as well.

“Love,” Mike said as soon as he opened the door. I smiled and greeted him.

“Mikee,” I started in a low voice with my head down. I was about to continue, but he held me on my shoulders before raising my head with his two fingers on my chin. He was smiling but with teary eyes.

“I know. And just like I said, I will understand. From the very beginning, I knew where I would stand. Though I admit that I prayed to God to give you to me, Don’t be sad; don’t feel sorry either. I know that this day will come, so I am ready.” My tears cut down my cheeks, and so did he. Thankfully, Elda didn’t stop me when I hugged him while crying.

Dad was right; it hurts. But looking at him, I can tell that he suffers more. I realized that I was not considerate enough of his feelings. I had been selfish, thinking only about what I wanted and what I thought was good for me, ignoring the consequences. I should have thought about it this time. I continued crying while he tried his best to comfort me. “I’m so sorry, Mikee.” I regretfully said it.

“Shh… It’s fine, my love. You don’t have to blame yourself; I am also accountable for our pains.” His words struck me like lightning. How can he be so considerate toward me? “Look,” he said, making us face each other. He looked deep into my eyes, and so I did before he continued, “I am fine, but not totally okay. I’m not a good liar, so even if I tell you that it doesn’t hurt, you’ll know, and you will be more guilty. I felt your sincerity when we were together; that’s why I am telling you that I understand, and I promise that I’ll move on.”

I hugged him after he said it. He’s really a nice guy, and I was so stupid for making him fall for me and leave him like this. I thought I was strong and that I would be able to reject my fated mate when the time came. But it was hard, and I didn’t know that it was something like this. “I wish you all the best, Mikee. And yes, I was sincere when I told you that I loved you. Please know that you have a special place in my heart, and for whatever, you can count on me whenever you need me.”

“I know, love. I know. I’m sorry, it’s Adeline now,” he replied, smiling. For the last time, I hugged him and felt his warm embrace before I pulled myself away.

“Goodbye, Adeline.”

“Goodbye, Mikee,” I said and turned around, trying to control myself not to look back. I left him hurt and in sorrow. I hope he moves on soon-find a woman he deserves and not someone like me who broke his heart.

I went back to the pack house and stayed in my bedroom. I shut off all the connections I have with everyone. Dad, Daniel, Milka, and even Elda. It was hard for me, and no matter how much Mike tried to alleviate the pain I was feeling from his sugarcoating, it still stung. The whole day, I cried until I cried no more. But the sorrow and the guilt were still there.

“Adeline, come on, let’s eat.” I heard Milka calling from outside my room. Daniel must have told her to do so. “I’m going to come in, okay?” Then I heard the door creak, followed by her footsteps coming closer. “Girl..”

From laying on the bed with my face on the pillow, I sat up and looked at her before I hugged her tightly. My tears kept rolling down my cheeks, and I felt her gentle caress on my back. “Shh… It’s okay, I’m here,” she said, concerned.

“I hurt him, Milks,” I said while sobbing and trying to clear my nose.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“He’ll come by. From the very beginning, you both knew what might happen if you continued your relationship. At least you both know that you have loved each other during those times that you’re together.”

“But I choose to betray him,” I replied, still crying.

“No, you did not. That’s why he’s not mad at you. That’s why he understands. He knew what was coming, and I’m sure he prepared himself for this day.”

“I’m selfish and inconsiderate.” I continued.

“Yes, you were, so you have to do what is right now.” My friend replied. After a while, I pulled away and looked at her in the eyes.

“I should have listened to Dad and Daniel from the very beginning.”

“You cannot turn back time. All you have is the present, so if you can, do things right. You have problems to solve. Even if you have already found your mate, remember that you are not yet together. You are here, while Kaiser is in a different world. You have no time to sulk here and grieve for what you and Mike have lost. The victims of those killings need you; the pack needs you; and most of all, Kaiser needs you.”

After what she said, I began to think things through. She was right. I have a lot to do, and wasting my time here in my room by crying is not going to help. We have an enemy we don’t know. A devil, as far as we know. I have to get myself straight. “Thank you for coming and putting some sense into me.”

She smiled and replied casually, “I am your friend, and it’s my responsibility to put you back on track when you go astray.” I nodded, smiling, while wiping my tears off my face. We got up, went out of my bedroom, and joined my dad and Daniel in the dining area. I saw them both sigh in relief when they saw me behind Milka.

“I’m sorry for being late, Dad.” I apologize.

“No need, dear. I respect your feelings; what’s important is that you’re here,” he replied, smiling. I nodded and looked at Daniel, who was also smiling at me. Milka sits beside him, and if you ask me, they look perfect for each other. Even if my relationship with Mike has ended, at least my friend and my brother have found each other.

We started eating in between conversations. I’m sure they’re trying to avoid the topic of Mike, and I’m thankful for that. Now, all I want to think about is Kaiser and how we are going to be together.

‘Adeline, I think Kylo is calling us.’ My eyes widened after Elda said it out of nowhere. Can she hear Kaiser’s wolf? How’s that possible when we are in another world?
