Help
Adeline
“Do you have to bring my mate with you?” Daniel asked, which caused me to crease my forehead and glare at him. We are in the pack house’s living room, and I am waiting for Milka because we agreed to go to the police station to talk to Officer Hunt and discuss what we have found out so far.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I don’t remember you arguing with me before whenever my friend and I wanted to go somewhere,” I said,
“It’s different then!” he exclaimed.
“What’s the difference?”
“She’s my mate!” he answered,
“So what?”
“So what? Do you hear yourself? Have you heard anyone here letting their mate go alone?”
“She’s not going to be alone. I’m with her.” I replied, “And stop acting like a possessive asshole, Daniel. It doesn’t fit you. You don’t have a bit of sweetness in your body, so don’t act like you’re a hopeless romantic. You screamed, Horror!” I responded to irritate him even more. I was successful because I could see the hole in his nose widening and the smoke threatening to escape at any moment.
“Stop it, Daniel.” We both looked at where the voice came from and found Milka on the last step of the stairs. “We already talked about this, and I can’t just let Adeline go there by herself,” she added, which made me smirk at my dear brother, raising a brow.
“But I am worried that you might-”
“Daniel, I am not a little girl anymore. And don’t you know your bratty little sister? She’ll protect me with her life.” she said, stopping my brother from talking. I smiled internally, knowing she trusted me with her life.
“You’re both hard-headed.”
“Don’t overthink, big brother. I won’t let anything bad happen to my best friend.” I reassured him. He knew he couldn’t do anything, so he just nodded after he heaved a deep sigh.
“Shall we?” Milka asked, and I agreed before I took her hand and led the way to our car.
“Is it true?” Officer Hunt asked in shock after I told him about what was happening in Kaiser’s world.
“Can you ask if there are any cases where we can connect in the other world?” I asked,
“Wait, Adeline. I still can’t process everything you just told me.” He replied, massaging his temple.
“Take it easy, girl.” Milka reminded me, so I nodded my head. It’s just that I’m too impatient when it comes to something I am curious about.
“You were saying that your mate is in another world and that there had been a killing there wherein family members of the dead bodies refused to accept their bodies since they believed that it wasn’t their family members?” Officer Hunt asked, and I nodded. “And that the man found dead outside your border whom your father believed to be his friend has someone who looked like him in your mate’s world who was a rogue that you already killed.”
“Exactly,” I replied, nodding.
“So, there’s another world other than here?” he asked in confusion, to which I nodded again. He sighed deeply, and I could tell that he was trying to process everything. I’m sure that he was only in disbelief. It’s not every day that you get to know that besides the world you live in, there’s another world that might have someone who looks like you.
He knew about supernatural beings in our world. Yet, it was hard for him to understand and accept everything I told him. How much in Kaiser’s world, whom I believe had no idea about our kind? How is he going to cooperate with the police when it comes to the human victims of that decaying man? I looked at Milka and thought, Is she still willing to look into other dead bodies’ memories?
“Are you ready now, officer?” I asked after giving him a few more minutes to think about what I told him. He looked at me before he nodded. I sighed in relief, thinking we could move on to our next step. “So, is it possible to look into other stations to see if there are some cases of deaths where family members are refusing to accept the dead bodies?”
“I will try my best and cooperate with my friends. I will let you know once I find something similar to your mate’s world’s cases,” he answered. More than anyone else, the human police were the ones who were more eager to solve cases like this. They knew they had no chance of fighting other supernatural beings, so, as much as possible, they tried their best to cooperate with packs like ours.
“If you ever find anything or any dead bodies that you think have something to do with the cases that we are looking at, you can call me and let me look,” Milka said.
“Thank you; your ability will help us discern cases. Whether they are related to supernaturals, we can assign other police officers.”
“We won’t take long.” I said and got up from my seat, “Don’t hesitate to call Dad or Daniel if ever you need anything. I might not be here all the time since I was being pulled into my mate’s world without warning, and I don’t know when I will be back either.” Police Officer Hunt nodded in agreement. It was such a big relief knowing humans knew about our kind. Unlike Kaiser, we can investigate without fear of discovery because humans know the existence of supernatural beings.
Milka and I were on our way to the diner when I remembered the time when Keisha and I were together in the mall to buy my things. She was quiet during our trip; if looks could kill, I would have died by then. But she can’t do anything since I am already her brother’s mate, and we marked and mated each other.
“Tell me what happened in Kaiser’s world. Is it as boring as here?” Milka asked after we ordered and waited for it on our table.
“Nothing much. They have the same problems as ours; only humans know about our kind.”
“Really?” she exclaimed. “So they were in hiding? How are they coping? How are they able to grow their pack? Wait, do they also have their pack?” she asked continuously. Last night, when I returned, I could see how curious she was. She wanted to come to me when I got pulled there, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen.
“They were in a secluded area, but Kaiser has companies that support the pack. Many of his employees were humans, and they were wealthy.”
“Wow! So if there are incidents concerning humans, how are they solving them?”
“They let the humans deal with it. But as much as possible, they try to help them. They have hunters as well to keep the balance, you know.”
“And how do you like it there? Are you happy being with your mate?” she asked, and I looked at her. I could see how happy she was with my brother, and I’m glad to know that. As for me, I know that I love Kaiser. The band is working on us, especially when Elda and Kylo are on good terms. They met each other somewhere, and I had never heard anyone do that before. But I still couldn’t help but think about Mike, especially when I read his name in that book as the man that woman had married. “Hey!” Milka said, waving her hand on my face. I blinked before I sighed.
“I can feel that I love him.” I said, “He was worried that I still feel something toward Mike, and I can’t blame him. I assured him that I was not seeing him anymore, and I guess he would be able to feel if something was going on between us.”
“You didn’t answer my question,” she said,
“We’re from a different world, Milks. How will we be together if I keep coming back here? And I can’t be totally happy, either, if I knew that there would come a time when I wouldn’t be able to see you, Dad, Daniel, and the pack anymore,” I answered sadly.
“We’ll find a way, Adeline. I’ll help you find the answer to your questions.” Milka replied. We became quiet until our order arrived, and we started eating. I shove the worry and other bad thoughts in my head away. I had to be ready at all times. Our adversary is not someone we take lightly. He’s a demon or joined forces with the demon, and we wouldn’t be able to win if my mind was full of negativity and worry. I must think about ways to find him, and we must start now. It would have been better if I could go to Kaiser’s world at will.
‘I can help you with that.’ My eyes widened after Elda chimed in.
