My Mate From Another World

Adeline

Another week has passed, and it’s already a blue moon. Dad told me and Daniel to attend a ball with another pack, and even if I didn’t want to because Kaiser had already claimed me and I wouldn’t be able to see my mate there, I still needed to come with my brother. I wanted to settle things with Elda, but she refused, so I guess I will have to wait until she calms herself.

A knock on my door made me go back to my trance. “Come in,” I said before the door opened, and Daniel came in.

“I thought you were all dressed up since I had been knocking and you didn’t answer.” He said this as soon as he saw me lying on my bed. I sat up and smiled at him.

“I am not excited for this ball.”

Does that mean that you believe Kaiser about him being your mate?” He asked, teasing me, which made me chuckle.

“Shut up!” I replied, and he laughed.

“Come on, I was just saying.”

“Stop and don’t say anything,” I replied and got up to go to my bathroom to start preparing. “Oh, I hate parties!” I exclaimed and heard him laugh even louder, so I looked back and glared at him, but he just shrugged his shoulders.

“I’ll get ready as well,” he said before leaving. What is that? He just came here to check if I was coming or not. And what if he’d use me as an alibi for our father so that he wouldn’t go as well?

I started taking a bath and went to my walk-in closet to get dressed. Seriously, Dad never failed to tell us to attend the mating ball, and as you can see, we never found our mates there. I don’t know if Daniel will be lucky this time, but I hope he will.

I chose a long, black evening dress. I didn’t want to look too formal since I knew that I wouldn’t be able to find my mate there. It has a slit in the middle of my left leg that shows my skin whenever I walk. Its Sabrina neckline exposed my delicate neck and collarbone. If only I was excited to find my mate, I’m sure that he would be too excited to look at the crook of my neck, where he would mark me. But I know that it will hurt Mike as well, and I really hate this mate-bond thing. goddess forgive me, but it’s just that.

Just to make my face look lively, I apply very light makeup and lipstick. Even if I didn’t like this kind of party, I also didn’t want to appear unprepared. I have my father and brother to protect, who have been very proud of my natural beauty. After I sprayed a small amount of perfume on my wrist and neck, I put on my black stiletto and purse to complete my look. Feeling satisfied after looking at myself in the mirror, I went out of my bedroom and looked for my brother, who was waiting for me in the living room with our father.

“You look gorgeous, sis,” he said, grinning. He knew that I didn’t like that kind of compliment, so I’m sure that he was only teasing me.

“My beautiful daughter, I hope that you find your mate there already,” Dad said, smiling. He looked at me as if I were the most precious thing he possessed, so even if I wanted to tell him that I wouldn’t be able to meet my mate at the ball, I just shut my mouth.

“Stop it, you too. You don’t need to stress the obvious.” I replied instead, and we all laughed. Seriously speaking, I have the best family I could ever want. They are both very supportive, and they believe in me (not in the mate bond thing, though). But still, they are my family, and they love me more than anything in this world.

We started walking our way out of the pack house and, while waiting for our ride, said, “Daniel, make sure you bring your mate with you.” I almost burst out laughing; it was a good thing because after that, Dad gave his attention back to me and said, “And you too, young lady.” That literally made me roll my eyes at him, which made Daniel laugh. “Your eyes, Adeline!” Dad warned, but I just shrugged my shoulders at him. I knew that he couldn’t do anything to me since he loved me so much.

“Let’s go,” Daniel said and started walking, so I abruptly followed him since I didn’t want to hear any more of Dad’s reminders.

In the ball, she-wolves look excited. I guess they were looking forward to finally finding their mates. Everywhere I looked, all I saw were their happy faces. “It looks like everyone was looking forward to tonight,” Daniel said, and I nodded in agreement. “Should I leave you here now?” he asked. We are in the female’s area, so yes, it was separate from the boys. When the clock strikes 9:00, that’s when we will go to a common area, which is the venue of the ball, and meet the boys.

“I guess your mate is not here,” I commented because no one was claiming him, nor did he. But I saw in every female’s eyes how much they wanted Daniel to become their mate.

“Well, if I am not lucky to find her here, I guess I will still be lucky enough to have a partner in the end.” I rolled my eyes at him before he left, laughing. Men are really annoying. Just because women want them, they let themselves be free for them.

“Hi, I’m Chloe. I thought you already found your mate,” she said. I raised a brow because it was obvious that she was fishing for information about my brother.

“You’ll find yours soon,” I replied and left. I didn’t want just anyone to become my brother’s mate, though I also didn’t want to be a hindrance to his happiness. I just hope that his mate is decent enough to become the luna of the pack. They can say that I am picky, but it was my brother that we were talking about. I love him, and I want the best for him.

The ball has started, and many she-wolves get along really well. Maybe they knew each other before. Since I don’t like to socialize, I didn’t make any new friends at all. At 9 o’clock sharp, an announcement was heard, and we were called to go to the venue.

We started to line up, and I decided to go to the end of the line. Since there are almost 50 she-wolves here and it would be boring if I just waited, I called out Elda. ‘Elda, are you really not going to talk to me?’

I sighed deeply, and I started to feel annoyed, but I held it in. ‘Come on, Elda. We’re about to meet our mate now.’ I added. She was only concerned about our mate, so maybe if I said that, she would start talking to me again.

‘You wish!’ she snarled at me. I sigh in relief after hearing her. At least she talked to me, and that’s a good start. ‘I’m still mad at you!’ I chuckle internally and let her know that.

‘You are only concerned about your mate; are you not concerned about my feelings?’ I asked. ‘Don’t I have the right to be happy? Am I designed to only follow you?’

‘We will be happy with our mate.’ she replied,

‘Will it bring the same feeling I felt towards Mike? We will want our mate because the moon goddess made it happen. It’s not a natural feeling everyone should experience.’

‘You don’t know what you are talking about,’ she replied.

‘Fine, if you insist.’ Our conversation was interrupted by a continuing claim. ‘How lucky of them, don’t you think?’

‘Look how happy they are; that’s what you are trying to deprive yourself of.’ Elda said.

‘Yeah, yeah, whatever you say.’

‘I am serious. Adeline!’

‘And so am I!’ I exclaimed.

‘You are really annoying.’ She said it like a child, so I couldn’t help but laugh, especially when she revealed herself to me in my head. She’s so cute.

My attention was caught by a woman yelling “mine,” but I didn’t hear anyone claim her, so I looked around. The girl from earlier named Chloe was still yelling “mine”, looking in a particular direction, so I followed her line of view. My eyes widened when I saw who she was referring to. “Daniel??” Why is he not saying anything? Wait, she saw him earlier and didn’t say anything, so she is just making this up? Crazy bitch. I wonder what my dear brother will do in this kind of situation.

He can take care of himself, so I decided to leave the venue and walk around. I have no time to watch their drama. ‘Dear brother, I’ll entertain myself, and you settle your things there.’ I mind link him so he won’t get worried.

I went out of the venue and walked on the lighted patio. I noticed a greenery, so I made myself comfortable on one of the benches. The Meadows Pack is known for its good food. I admit that they served the most delicious meal among the packs that I visited with Dad and Daniel. So it’s not surprising if they have this greenery in almost every pack member’s house. ‘Make sure not to cause any trouble, dear little sister,’ I was startled by my brother’s link.

‘Of course.’ I replied, and then I heard nothing. I continued contemplating as I leaned back, looked up, and was welcomed by a beautiful moon. I couldn’t help but think about Mike and then Kaiser. What am I going to do?

‘Adeline! Our mate is calling us.’ Elda said it out of nowhere.

‘What do you mean? I didn’t hear anything?’

‘He wanted us!’

‘Where is he?’NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

‘Let’s go to him! I want to see our mate! I want to come back to my mate!’ She exclaimed almost hysterically, and that scared me. I got up, and as soon as I did that, I was welcomed by a new environment. I was in a house, and I knew that it wasn’t Kaiser’s pack house. Wait, what’s that smell?

Then I saw him. He’s with a woman who is now holding his face with both her hands as if she’s going to kiss him. I couldn’t stop Elda from growling, which made them look at us. Then I heard myself yelling Mine! Elda was furious, and it was too late because she already jumped at the woman whose hands were not leaving Kaiser’s face.
