My Mate From Another World

Adeline

“Argh!!!” Mike exclaimed, which made me stop the marking. I was stunned for a moment and heard what Elda said.

‘What the hell do you think you’re doing?’ I ignored her and focused on Mike.

“Oh, I’m really sorry, Mikee. I don’t know what came into my mind.” I said it in worry, seeing the blood running out of his neck. He covered it with his hand, so I got up and went to his medicine cabinet, and took some ointment. “I’m really sorry about this,” I said apologetically when I returned to him and started to treat him.

“It’s fine, love. I just didn’t expect that you’d do that,” he replied.

‘How dare you, Adeline!’ Elda said. I tried to ignore her, but she was persistent. ‘I hate you for doing this! I already told you that I only wanted our mate! You are selfish!’ she nags continuously. But I had to take care of Mike, so I didn’t reply to her. She can be mad at me; I know what I did was wrong. When it comes to marking someone, both of us should make the decision.

“How are you feeling?” I asked Mike, and he smiled and said,

“Good, it’s not as painful as I thought it would be.”

“My fangs didn’t go deeper, so the marking is not yet complete.”

“I see. I thought it was just like that.”

“Yes, but my fangs need to penetrate deeper, and my wolf should agree with it as well.”

“I’ll take it that she didn’t. She stopped you.” I shook my head in response. “So you just stopped.”

“Because I didn’t want you to get hurt,” I said, apologetically. He smiled, nodding at me.

“I understand. Although for a moment I thought–”

“I’m so sorry,” I had to cut off his words since I didn’t want to feel more guilty. He capped my face with both his hands and said,

“No. I’m the one who should be sorry.” He sighed and then continued with teary eyes, “I know you’ve been dealing with your Alpha father. I have been thinking about it ever since we started our relationship. There are times that I feel I’m too selfish to let you suffer emotionally. Trying to defend me and our relationship to your family and pack.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s not that hard, you know,” I said with a hesitant smile, which he reciprocated with the same.

“You’re Alpha’s daughter, the Luna of your pack. I know the weight of your responsibility. I also know about the mate bond. I admit, I’m scared. Scared that one day you’d tell me that you had found him and that you’re choosing him over me.” My tears began to cut off my face when I heard it. I’m suffering, yes. But I didn’t know that he was too.

Before I could say anything, he continued. “What made me happy is that I also know that you’re not looking for your mate and that you hate the idea of it. But can you promise me something?”

My heart feels heavy, and my emotions are rushing within me. “Tell me,” I replied.

“When you find your mate, don’t hesitate to tell me. It will be painful, but I’ll understand. I will not take it against you if you choose him. But while he’s not here yet, can I still be the man that you care for and love for the time being?” It was heartbreaking, and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. “And can you let me be the man to do the same?”

“You know I love you,” I said, almost choking. It was as if there was a lump in my throat that made it hard for me to say a word.

“Yeah, I know, and I never doubted that.” He was smiling, but I could see sadness in his eyes. “Since we are already talking about this, let me take this chance to tell you that you are free to choose your fated mate. I admit, it won’t be easy for me. But knowing you will be happier and stronger with him was enough reason for me to let you go.”

The tears that I was trying to hold on to rolled down my cheeks freely. Painful is not enough to name what I exactly feel right now. His eyes are looking deep into my soul with a smile on his lips. I don’t know what I did to deserve this man.

Without a second thought, I kissed him. Just like earlier, he responded, and we forgot about everything. It’s just me and him, so I deepened our kiss, and so did he. I feel myself lifted, so I cling to his nape so I won’t fall.

I heard the room door open before I felt the bed on my back. I closed my consciousness to any kind of destruction. I will not let any intrusion of mind link from anyone in the pack, not even my father or Daniel. All that mattered was me and him and the days that were left for us to be like this.

We kissed, and I felt the love he always showered me with. I never felt this way towards anyone, only him. We deepened our kiss, and later I gradually felt his hand caressing my body, and our skin touched as if we were already naked.

Yes, this is Mike. The man whom I truly love without anyone dictating to me other than my heart. Through him, I felt what a natural feeling is and how love comes naturally. I am not against those mated couples; I see how happy they are and how much they love each other, but I also hope that they can see how much Mike and I are happy being together.

“I love you so much, Adeline,” he mumbled.

“I love you too, Mike,” I replied without hesitation because that’s exactly how I feel at this very moment. He looked at me before he positioned himself on top of me and entered his shaft. It wasn’t the first time we did it, but I always felt like it was our first every time we made love.

Yes, for me, we didn’t just fuck. We were making love because Elda, being a wolf, is not allowing this to happen while Mike is a human. It was our human desire, not the animal in me, that dictated our body. For me, our love is purer than any other fated mated couples have.

“Thank you for loving me, Adeline,” Mike said as we lay on his bed, catching our breath after our intense lovemaking.

“No, I am the one who should be thankful. I know that it has been difficult for you as well. But here you are, showing and making me feel how much you care and love me.” I replied sincerely. From the bottom of my heart, I want him to know that without my wolf, he is the love of my life.

I felt him hugging me tightly, so I did too, as I decided not to go home tonight. We will be spending our night together, making the most of the remaining days that we’re together.

As much as possible, I would want to reject Kaiser if he turns out to be my mate. But I don’t think Elda will allow me to do that. She’s a part of me, and we are one, so we have to make the decision together. It sounded unfair to me because I didn’t have a choice but to agree with her in the end if I didn’t want us to die together.

This is our sad reality. Our wolf is one with us, so whatever happens, we are connected. There were times when our wolf took away our pain and healed our wounds. They did a lot to protect their human counterparts, and the only thing their counterparts could do was give them to their fated mates. As for me and Elda, it’s Kaiser. If he is really my mate.
