My Mate From Another World

Kaiser

There she goes again. It’s the third time she has disappeared before me. But compared to the last two, I think now is more frustrating. Why? Because I managed to kiss her, not once, but twice, and the best part-she kissed me back. It was only a few days after our second meeting, and yet I saw her again. It was an improvement since she stayed longer than the last two.

I shook my head and focused my full attention on the photo I was holding. Now I’m certain that something happened in the past that my family didn’t want others to know. But what could it be? Is it so shameful that they decided not to write it in our history?

My father was a great alpha, not just for me but also for the whole pack and the council. He was invited to become a member of the werewolf council. I took over his title before he accepted the offer and spent most of his time with the other members, meeting alphas from different packs and different regions. But when a rogue kidnapped the daughter of one of the council members, he charges in to save the girl without realizing it was a trap that would end in his death. I don’t know who the girl was since none of the council members visited my pack after.

The incident was known to the entire region, and they admired him for that, which made me so proud of him. Even after his death, he still cares for our kind because he managed to make a decree about bullying, which often happens to omegas.

“Kaiser,” Ryan said as soon as he entered the room after he knocked.

“Do you need anything?” I asked,

“Just as I thought, you’re here,” he replied, instead of answering my question. “Misch told me to come here. So, did you find it?”

I nodded my head as I went back to Dad’s table and sat on the chair. He followed me and sat opposite me. Here, take a look.”

He grabbed the book, or rather, the notebook, because I think it’s a diary. “The guy’s name is Oliver?” he asked after reading the first page. The name Oliver was written there being the alpha but that’s all.

“I was just starting to read it.”

“Come on, you’ve been here since you left the cabin.”

“Yes, but someone showed up, so I got interrupted.”

“Someone?” he asked cluelessly. “Luna?” he asked when he realized it.

“She is feisty, and I like her so much. But she insisted on taking that man as her chosen mate and rejected me once she confirmed that I was her mate.”

“That sucks.”

“And it pissed me off. You don’t know how much I tried to stop myself from marking her. She keeps on denying me, even if she already feels the pull of the mate bond.”

“You know how the mate bond works, Kais. You’re experiencing it already, so you know what might happen in the future, right?”

“Yes. And after I kiss her, I am confident about it.”

“So what seems to be the problem?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I think she won’t be as happy as I am since she knew that she hurt someone.”

“Do you think her guilt will haunt her?”

“Definitely. With what she said, even her father tried to stop her from having a relationship with that human.”

“It’s the reason why you can’t concentrate here.”

“It’s not that. She just showed up and stayed longer than before. We had a chat, and of course, it ended up with her disappearing without saying goodbye.”

“Why do you think this happens? I mean, why not in this world, of all the places where one could find their mate? Why does it have to be in another world?”

“I have been asking myself the same thing. That’s why I’m so pissed that I had to deal with those rogues and then the man in that photo who looks exactly like me and that book. To be honest, I don’t know which one to do first.”

“Well, I think the rogues should come first,” he replied, which earned him a glare from me. He knew how important my mate was, yet he voiced the truth. “I know you know it. The issue with rogues is getting out of hand; they were playing on our border as if they owned it.”

“That’s why I want to reprimand our warriors and fighters who were on duty, but you keep on stopping me.”

“Because that will not solve the problem,” he replied immediately. I know he had a point, but he should know that pack members relied on us, so we have to do everything we can to ensure their safety. “Look, I understand how frustrating the situation is, but believe it or not, our warriors-no, let me rephrase that. All the pack members are doing their best to protect each other. From the youngest to the eldest, That’s how your father trained us, and then you. So don’t think that they are not doing their best; it’s just that those rogues are persistent.”

“You said too much,” is all I can say. He had a point, and I know deep inside, I was angry at myself because I thought I was becoming ineffective as their alpha. I can’t even make my mate stay; how much more, driving those rogues away from my territory?

“We will get our Luna back or stay. Whatever we call it, At the same time, we will find out who that man is. But for the meantime, let’s focus ourselves on those bastards who have been attacking defenseless pack members.” I nodded in agreement. Sometimes, he and Misch put some sense in me whenever I was astray. “What about this now?” he asked, showing me the book and the picture.

“Why did I just look at that damn chest? When I was a child, I even hid in there and scared everyone.”

“You’ve focused on the pack’s matters; you’re not a child anymore, so naturally, playing is no longer in your vocabulary.”

“But did you notice something?” I asked.

“What?” he asked as well, so I nodded my head, motioning for him to look at the book in his hand. “What about this?” he asked again.

“I got that from that chest.”

“So what? Your father must have hidden this there, so no matter how much anyone looks for it in the cabin, they will never find it.”

“When do you think Dad placed it there?”

“Probably when he was still alive.”

“Exactly, how long had he been gone?”

“Years.”

“I got that book there in that chest, exactly how you feel it,” I told him, and then I saw him feeling the book.

“What’s wrong with it? I don’t see anything wrong.”

“How can you be so slow? Dad put that book on that chest probably ten years ago before he died, and why the hell is it not covered with dust or any dirt?” His eyes widened after realizing what I had been thinking.

“Someone knows that this is in here.”

“And who the hell is he or she?”

“Well, I think whoever cleaned this had an idea about this book and this picture.” My beta replied, “Shall I call everyone who was assigned to clean this room and ask?”

“No. Let’s find out who he or she is, our way.” I replied.

“What are you going to do?”

“Let’s put a surveillance camera here. I doubt that whoever that person is will confess if we ask.”

“Why?”

“He’ll be scared that I might do something, or he might have promised Dad that he would not say anything about it to anyone.”

“I understand. I will set up the CCTV discreetly.” Ryan replied. We both went back to the cabin, where Elder Ron was. I didn’t want him to think that I knew where the book he was looking for was since I hadn’t found out who did the cleaning and, at the same time, watched over it.

While looking after the renovation, Elder Ron, Misch, Ryan, and I started talking about the rogues, and we decided to make it our priority. Although I have mysteries to solve, my pack members’ safety should come first.

I was on my way to my bedroom when I decided to go back to Dad’s office and read that book. I remember Elder Ron telling me about a certain Luna who would come back. It was very intriguing, and I didn’t want to let this night pass without reading even a part of it. I am really curious.
