Getting Ready
Kaiser
I looked at my mate lying on my bed. She was tired; I could see the exhaustion on her face, as if she had been through a lot. When we reached the pack house, Ryan woke me up. After waking Adeline several times, I carried her instead and let her rest. It was night, so I talked to her about the incident earlier the following day.
After I made sure that she was comfortable, I went out of our bedroom while mind-linking Ryan to meet me in my office. But he was already there with Keisha and Misch. “You are an idiot, Kaiser,” my bratty little sister said as soon as I entered.
“I know, so stop it already,” I replied as I walked to my seat. She sighs deeply while glaring at me. I shook my head, thinking she knew my mate better than me.
“How is that woman?” I asked.
“She’s still in the truck,” Ryan answered, making me crease my forehead. I looked at him, confused. “Luna said she cast a spell on the truck, so she won’t be able to get out of there or even go back to where she came from. So I decided to wait for Luna’s order”, he added.
“I see. Yeah, that would be good. She might have all the answers to this, but she was exhausted. I think something happened in her world, and she was only rushed here,” I replied.
“What are we going to do now that we have confirmed that someone wants to separate you two? Obviously, someone wants Luna,” Misch chimed in.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
“I know that now. Everything that happened was because of Adeline. Because someone wanted to take her away from me, he might succeed if I am not careful.” I admitted, brushing my hair with my fingers. It was the first time that I felt scared for a woman.
“What do you mean?” Misch asked, so I decided to tell them what I thought. I kept them informed about Adeline being Oliver’s possible Luna because I wasn’t sure yet. But after that woman came to me and my mate indirectly told me about another Kaiser in her world, I realized that she and I might have been Oliver and his Luna’s reincarnation or something.
“It’s possible, but your wolf is not telling you anything about it?” Keisha asked.
“He’s mad at me right now,” I replied, and I am telling the truth. I tried to connect to him, but he was snarling at me.
“Why?” she asked.
“Maybe because there was a time when he talked to me. It was vivid, actually, so I thought I just imagined it since he was always like that to me.”
“When was that?” Ryan asked,
“I’m sure when he was making out with fake Luna.” Misch chimed in, earning a glare from me, confirming his words.
“See, because you men use your head down there instead of the one connected to your shoulders,” Keisha exclaimed, rolling her eyes at me.
“Who would have thought, Keish!” I rebutted.
“I can tell the moment she got closer!”
“Fine, you’re good,” I replied in resignation, that I wasn’t going to win over her.
“So, what’s the plan?” My beta asked seriously.
“Let’s wait for Adeline,” I replied, and they all nodded.
After we agreed to that, we started discussing the business in the city. Keisha has already contacted Corrine and Raymond, and they will meet Allison Carter to sign the contract. We need to be in the pack, so we won’t have time to go back there. It’s not that we take the company for granted; it’s just that the pack is my top priority.
Everything is set in our business; we only need to worry about Adeline and whoever wants to take her away from me. Hell will bend, but I am not going to let that happen. My mate is only mine, and I will not let what happened to Oliver and his Luna happen to us, either.
I spent the whole time with Ryan, Keisha, and Misch, thinking about a possible solution to our problem when the worst came. My bratty little sister, who doesn’t have a good start with Adeline, was full of concern on her face. Maybe a part of her believed in my mate, and she couldn’t do anything about it, but she wanted to like her as well.
Being a Luna, Adeline has formed a connection with every pack member, making them like her no matter what, and Keisha is not an exemption. We all set out our plan to protect my mate at all costs, and I feel happy that I am not alone on this.
I gave them a heads-up about the enemy we might face, and they assured me they were ready. Surely, I was surrounded by good, trustworthy, loyal, and reliable pack members whom I called friends. Let me take that back, not friends, but family.
After a quick meal, I went back to our bedroom. I didn’t bother waking Adeline since she was tired, and I felt she wouldn’t like it if I did. I lay beside her and hugged her, feeling the warmth of her body before closing my eyes. I was feeling tired, too, but because of my duties, I had to stay awake and finish everything I needed to finish before the day ended.
“Ahh..” My eyes opened after I heard that. “Urgh..” There it is again. So I sat up and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table after I turned on the lamp. Is it Adeline? I looked closer to her to make sure she was the one I was hearing. Then I saw beads of sweat on her creased forehead with furrowed brows. She’s dreaming, and judging by her looks, it’s not good.
With that thought, I decided to wake her up, but her facial expression suddenly changed, so I didn’t and watched her for a few more minutes. I went back to sleep until I was sure she was fine because of her breathing.
Adeline was still sleeping the following day, and just like last night, I watched her. She doesn’t look like she had a bad dream; she appears beautiful and innocent, unlike when awake. Don’t get me wrong; I like her strength and independence. She’s like two different people, which is something I love about her.
Her eyes started to move, so she was about to wake up. I never left her side until she slowly opened her eyes, even if I already thought she would only scold me because of that fake Adeline. “Did I sleep long?” she asked as she sat up before brushing her hair with his fingers.
“Not that long,” I replied, not leaving my eyes on her.
“What time is it?”
“Time to get up,” I replied, making her crease her forehead. I wanted to laugh, but I knew it would only annoy her. Another thing is that she just woke up, so I will get a beating if I anger her. “It’s morning already, Baby,” I added. Her brows furrowed, so I don’t know whether she didn’t like what I said or what. She got up from our bed and went straight to the bathroom, where I heard the splash of water from the shower. She must have felt dirty since she didn’t freshen up last night.
I bathed after her, and I’m glad she waited for me. We went down for breakfast together. Everyone looked at us, even our warriors eating with Ryan and Keisha. “Good morning, Alpha, Luna.” They all greeted, while Adeline just nodded her head in acknowledgment. She was quiet, and I could feel the tension. I don’t know what it was, but I felt something was off. Not in a terrible way, though.
