My Mate From Another World

Adeline

“What??” I asked, confused. Just how long have I been here already? I didn’t realize until he asked me. I was too focused and in deep thought because of that rogue. This is not good, so what Kaiser said about me staying longer the more I travel here was true after all.

“Do you want me to prepare a room for you, or do you prefer to share a room with me?” he asked. The nerve, he repeated his question. The smirk on his face told me that he was enjoying this, so I glared at him.

“Why would you even think that I would want to share a room with you? And how sure are you that I will be staying long enough for me to sleep here?”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“I was just asking. You don’t need to be so hyped. You’ll never know what might happen; at least we’re prepared,” he answered. I rolled my eyes at him, but he only laughed at me. I don’t get why he was taking our situation lightly when, in fact, it was mind-blowing.

“Are you always like this?” I asked,

“Like what?”

“Is everything funny to you?”

“Do I look like a funny person to you?” He asked, and I nodded. “Well, that’s new.”

“What do you mean?”

“No one ever calls or thinks that I’m funny.”

“I doubt that,” I replied, and he just shrugged his shoulders and got up. “Where are you going?”

“On the border,”

“You’re going to leave me here?”

“You want to come with me?”

“I think it’s better than getting bored here,” I replied and got up from the chair I was sitting on.

“Let’s go,” he said, leading the way.

Everyone was looking at me as I followed Kaiser; they didn’t look scared or anything, just plain curious. I think this moron didn’t tell anyone about me besides his ranking officials, just like he said. He must have been hesitant since I was denying the mate bond he was insisting on with me.

On our way, as I followed him, I couldn’t help but feel guilty about continuing my relationship with Mike. He was right; I still got intimate with my boyfriend this week, and if he knew about it because he could feel it, then he is really my mate. It’s the only reason I can think of why he found out about it. Now that I know about it, I don’t know if I will be able to do it again.

I mean, he let me know about his pain before, but I didn’t take it seriously. But now, I don’t know. I was torn between my promise to Mike and the mate bond that I hadn’t felt yet. I was startled when he suddenly stopped walking and said, “Stop it, Adeline.”

“What?” I asked, confused.

“Don’t overthink; just cross the bridge when you’re there.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about,” I replied and started walking ahead. I didn’t want to hear any more from him because it only made me feel more guilty. I hope I can go back to my world in an instant.

“Alpha!” The patrol guards greeted him as we reached his border.

“How’s everything?” he asked.

“Nothing unusual, Alpha,” one of them replied. He must be the leader. I looked around and noticed how close his border was. It was pretty safe, I think since others were hiding, concealing their presence.

“Have you been attacked recently?” I asked. The guards looked at me curiously before they changed their facial expressions. Kaiser must have mind-linked them, informing them of who I am. Just who am I to them? I couldn’t help but ask.

“Just constant rogue visits.” The one who answered Kaiser replied,

“I see,” I replied, nodding my head. They were pretty cautious, or, should I say, vigilant. “So you are really a softie that rogues manage to visit you constantly?” I asked, but he just raised a brow at me. When I looked at the patrol guards, they were looking at me and then at Kaiser.

“Alpha is far from softie. If he is, then I’m a woman,” the patrol leader replied.

“Are you sure about that?” I asked in disbelief. How could he say that when I just witnessed how soft he is?

“Alpha is the head of the werewolf council. Besides the pack, he is also responsible for the well-being of every living werewolf.” He’s that great, huh?

“I didn’t know that,” I replied,

“You know nothing about me because you never try to get to know me.” Kaiser chimed in as his eyes fixed on me before he looked at his patrol guards. “Make sure to capture at least one rogue for questioning if you happen to have any sightings.”

“Yes, Alpha!” They all replied and went back to their respective positions before we left them. We continued walking, with me following him. It’s fine though, but why do I have a feeling that he was making me familiar with his pack and indirectly introducing me to his pack members?

“Do you think I don’t have any idea what you are doing?” I couldn’t help but ask. He looked at me with a creased forehead, as if he didn’t know what I was saying. “Stop acting, Kaiser!”

“What?” he asked. “Are you always like that?”

“Like what?”

“Always shouting! What seems to be your problem?”

“You’re introducing me to your pack! Don’t think that I didn’t notice that!” I answered.

“I did not invite you to come with me; you’re the one who insisted. Why are you blaming me?”

“But I didn’t tell you to parade me around your pack!” I snarled.

“I told you that I was going to visit my border,” he replied, and that’s the truth. It was me who told him that I wanted to come with him.

“Just when the hell am I going to go back to my world? Why is it taking so long now?” I said it frustratedly. I didn’t like the idea of staying here while Kaiser was taking advantage of the situation. I didn’t want to give him false hope that we would end up being together. No. That’s not going to happen. I am not going to hurt Mike in any way. I love him, and I intend to fulfill my promise to him.

“I already told you, the more you show up here, the longer you will stay,” he said, so I looked at him. His hands were on his waist while he stared at me. There’s this tingling sensation coming from my insides that is making me feel excited. He was wearing a loose white t-shirt and cargo shorts. His disheveled hair makes him more attractive than he already is. No, I shouldn’t think about him that way, so I closed my eyes and shook my head. “What? Couldn’t accept the fact that I’m handsome?” he asked, so I looked back at him, which I think was a wrong move because he was smirking at me, and, oh goddess, I don’t think I will be able to resist him if he tries to make a move on me. I’m so fucked up!
