Mike?
Adeline
I couldn’t believe that I wouldn’t have power over the mate bond. I can’t help but mark Kaiser as well. He didn’t force me to do it; no one did. It was my own decision, and now I could see him differently.
‘Kylo is so nice!’ Elda screamed, which made me roll my eyes at her. We are back in my world, and just like Kaiser said, I stayed in his world longer than the last time. We’ve been together for 3 hours, to be exact.
‘Shut up! You know I still need to explain to Dad about our mark and why I can’t bring him here.’ I replied. She’s all about Kylo and Kaiser. Geez.. I never thought that she would be acting like this.
“Adeline!” I heard Daniel calling me from behind. “Where the hell have you been? I’ve been looking for you the whole time.” He added it as soon as he was closer.
“I will explain to you later.” I replied, “Did you find your mate?” I asked, concerned.
“Nah! From the very beginning, I knew that this was not going to be fruitful for both of us.” He answered, and then he looked at me intently.
“What?” I asked when I saw him creasing his forehead.
“I thought I was mistaken, thinking you smell different, but you had been marked!” He exclaimed, which made me touch my neck where Kaiser’s mark was.
“Uhm, this? Yeah, Kaiser did.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“You’ve been to his world again?” I nodded in reply while looking around. I didn’t want anyone to hear anything about Kaiser and his world.
“I just came back. If you’re done here, then let’s go home.” It’s late, but I didn’t want to stay here. I want to go home and talk to Dad the next morning.
The next day, I was surprised to find out that Dad went to a pack visit. I missed the chance to talk to him, so I went about my daily routine-training the omegas.
Speaking of omegas, I’m very proud of them. I saw potential in some of them, while the others were getting stronger. The woman who questioned our decision to train them and was not into fighting is now eagerly participating in every sparring session. I had a feeling that being an omega, they could be a target of that man who was sacrificing the lives of innocent girls.
“Good morning!” I greeted.
“Good morning, Lu-” they all stopped. I take it that they already sensed something different from me. “Luna, you’ve been marked.” One of the young female pups said,
“Oh, yeah. Last night.” I replied, and just like with Daniel, I couldn’t help but touch the part of my neck where Kaiser’s mark was.
“Where is he? Did you bring him here, Luna?” the other asked curiously.
“Ah, well, about that. No. I will explain when the time comes. For now, let’s start training.” I answered and clapped my hands, signaling them to form a line.
The whole day had been hectic. Everyone was excited and inspired to train. They wanted to help the pack, but most of them wanted to help their own family by not worrying about them too much.
I don’t feel exhausted either, seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces. How can I feel tired when I see them looking satisfied with what they have accomplished so far? I never regret agreeing to this task.
Dinner time, but I was in the bedroom freshening up. According to Daniel, when I met him on the staircase earlier, Dad would be home late. So I asked one of the omegas to send me my food to my bedroom. I will also take that time to read the notebook I’ve found in the library.
“Luna, here’s your food,” Dolores said after I opened the door when she knocked. I motioned for her to get inside and put the tray of food on my bedside table.
“Thank you so much.”
“You’re always welcome, dear.” She sweetly replied, and I could see that she wanted to ask me about my mark, so I said,
“It’s okay to ask if you’re curious. But let me answer it already; he’s not here, and you’ll know in the future.”
“Take your time, Luna,” she replied, so I nodded at her, smiling before she left my room. I know that everyone was curious. But I can’t explain repeatedly what is happening every time someone asks me about it. I should tell Dad first before anyone else. Well, Daniel already knew it, but that’s different. From the very beginning, I always told him everything. We haven’t kept secrets since childhood, and we have brought that up until now. That’s how close we are to each other.
After I closed my room door, I went to my walk-in closet and got dressed. I was only in my towel, so I understand why Dolores couldn’t help but notice my mark. I sat on my bed, took the notebook from the lower drawer of my bedside table, and started reading it again.
‘I want to talk to you about that.’ Elda said it out of nowhere. I was about to put a spoonful of food in my mouth, so I left it hanging.
‘What do you mean?’ I asked curiously.
‘I don’t know, but I feel like I know something about it, but I can’t tell what it is that I know, ‘she answered.
‘You should have told me about this the first time.’ I complained,
‘Yeah, but I was so annoyed and pissed off because of everything that you did. You never listen to me, so I thought you wouldn’t listen to me either if I told you how I feel.’
‘How could you think the worst of me?’ I exclaimed. ‘Of course, I’ll listen to you; this is something different!’
‘Anyway, since it’s in the past, let’s forget about it.’ she replied, which made me roll my eyes at her. ‘Let’s read it; come on.’ she added excitedly.
“Oliver is the man I love; he’s all I wanted. But thanks to the man I married, I managed to live my life and have my own family. But I didn’t disregard my love; he’s still in my heart. But I had to continue living because I knew that it was what he would want for me to do.”
‘Elda, have you ever been in love?’ I asked my wolf.
‘Yes, with Kylo,’ she answered.
‘Apart from him?’
‘We are different from humans. We don’t fall in love with someone who’s not our mate.’
‘Is it possible for you to be reborn or reincarnate?’
‘I don’t really know.’
‘What is it that you know then? I thought you had a feeling that somehow you had an idea about this diary?’
‘I said I had a feeling.’ She replied sarcastically.
‘Whatever.’ I replied and had another spoonful of my meal before I flipped the page of the diary and continued reading.
“Years passed, and I bore children. Three, to be exact. Even if I don’t love my husband, he makes sure that I am happy and we have a good family. He’s every woman’s dream; only I have a mate that I was destined to love and to be with forever.”
‘She has three children; that’s a lot if you ask me.’
‘At least she’s still happy with her husband.’ Elda commented.
‘You think so?’ I asked curiously.
‘Yes. She won’t have three children if she doesn’t. And you already read it; her husband was every woman’s dream. It only means that he did everything he could for his family.’
“In time, I will make sure to come back to my mate. I never fail to ask the moon goddess for it, and I am willing to do everything to make that happen.”
I sighed heavily. Is it because I understand her pain or what? Mike was the only person I loved until Kaiser. Would I be able to feel the same for him as this woman did for Oliver?
“While I live in this time, I will continue devoting myself to Mike, my husband. I will make sure he gets the care he deserves from me.”
‘Mike? Her husband is named Mike?’
‘You just read it; don’t think about your Mike.’ Elda warned, but I couldn’t help but think of him. What if?
