Daniel and Milka
Adeline
What did he say? Mine? With wide eyes, I looked at both Milka and my brother Daniel. He’s still on my doorstep and can’t move. He looks like an idiot, and this is priceless. He never acted this way before, and I never thought that only his mate would make him look like a fool in a funny way.
“Reject her, Milks,” I told my friend, trying to piss off my brother, who was now glaring at me.
“Adeline!” Dad shouted. I was startled, so I jumped out of bed, and so did Milka. “What are you saying? Did you hear yourself?”
“Why, didn’t you like Milka?” I asked.
“What are you talking about?”
‘Dad, she’s just teasing you.” Daniel said, calming our father.
“What made you think that I don’t like Milka?” Dad asked, ignoring my brother.
“Do you like her?” I asked as well, and he couldn’t answer. But he’s an alpha, so he always finds a way to get through tough situations.
“But that doesn’t mean that I don’t like her.”
“Because you heard Daniel claim her, you like her already,” I replied, Continue pissing him off.
“Adeline,” Milka said, trying to stop me. I saw Dad massaging his temple; maybe he started to get headaches because of me. Then I saw him sniffing before he looked at me. He abruptly approached me and grabbed me by my arm, pulling me closer to him before pulling the collar of my blouse.
“Where is he? Where the hell is the man that marked you?” He shouted angrily. I never saw him this mad, and I began to worry.
“Dad, calm down,” Daniel said, holding his hand that was holding my collar.
“Where is he, Adeline?” Dad asked in a soft and low voice.
“In his pack, where else?”
“Why is he not here? That’s what I want to know!” he exclaimed.
“Oh, that. He can’t be here.”
“Why? And can’t you just tell me everything?” He asked frustratedly.
“How can I do that when you are already angry?”
“Oh, goddess! My mate was very sweet and thoughtful. How can we have a daughter who is her total opposite?” He looked as if he was losing his sanity, so I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Adeline,” Milka said in a low voice, trying to stop me.
“Fine..” I said it in resignation. “Let’s talk, Dad. I need to tell you something as well.” I added in a serious tone.
“In my office,” he replied before turning his back to us. He was at the door when he suddenly stopped. “Daniel, bring your mate with you,” he added, and he left my room. The three of us looked at each other, and I decided to tease my brother again.
“Reject him, Milks,” I said,
“Adeline! Are you not going to stop?” My brother exclaimed, which made me laugh louder as I started walking out of my bedroom, saying,
“Alright, I’ll leave you two now.”
“Idiot, you know he wanted me and Milka in his office as well,” Daniel replied, so I continued walking and didn’t bother looking back since I already had an idea of how they would walk together.
‘Isn’t that sweet?’ Elda asked.
‘What?’ I asked as well.
‘HHWW with your mate?’ she replied.
‘HHWW?’ I was confused.
‘Holding Hands While Walking, duh!’ I rolled my eyes at her and forced her to retreat to the back of my head.
“Sit,” Dad commanded as we entered his office. Daniel and Milka sat together while I took the seat that Beta Mari usually sits on.
“Milka,” Dad called my friend, who was startled.
“Yes, Alpha,” she replied abruptly.
“Welcome to the pack. Being Daniel’s mate, I don’t need to explain to you what you need to do, right?” he asked.
“Yes, Alpha,” my friend replied.
“I thought she wasn’t allowed to stay here,” I asked Dad, but he glared at me, so I shut my mouth. It was his way of sending me a warning not to talk anymore, and I saw how Daniel’s lips curled into a thin smile. He liked it when our father was doing that.
“You’re going to be a Luna once I transfer my title to my son. Adeline will teach you everything since she’s our current Luna.” Dad continued. I felt relieved because I knew how the pack would be when Milka became Luna. She’s sweet, smart, and a powerful witch. Surely the Nightingale Pack will be stronger than it already is. Plus, I don’t need to teach her about her future duties anymore because every time we’re together, I always tell her everything that I do in the pack.
Dad, being an alpha as he is, says a lot to Milka. It’s like my friend is attending an orientation for a new job. “Now that I’m done with you two, it’s time to talk to you, young lady,” he said, turning his head at me. “Where is your mate?” he asked. He’s straightforward; he should have tried making some introduction or welcome message, but he asked what he wanted to know promptly.
“He’s on his word.”
“What world? Which world? What are you talking about? Just answer my question, Adeline.” Did I say he’s impatient too?
“You see, we’re in this world. And he is in another world. Another dimension is the parallel world. Whatever you call it, We have an interdimensional relationship.” I replied, and I saw how confused he was. Then he turned to look at my brother and friend.
“You don’t seem confused; do you know about this?” He asked the two, who also nodded. “Since when?”
“The second time she traveled to Kaiser’s world,” Daniel replied.
“Kaiser is her mate?” Dad asked, and we nodded. “When was the second time you’re talking about?”
“That’s about three months ago, more or less,” I replied because my brother was looking at me and asking for confirmation.
“And no one tells me about this?” Dad asked again.
“Because I didn’t know that Kaiser was my mate at that time.”
“How did he find out that you’re his mate?” To end the questions and answers, I told Dad to listen to me first and started telling him what happened. Everything that happens, including the man who died that he thought was his friend, We can see that he was still confused, but as the conversation went on, he started to catch up as well, until he fully outgrew his confusion.
“So, how are you and Kaiser together?” he asked.
“No idea,” I answered, and there he was, massaging his temple once again.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Alpha, there’s something that you need to know as well,” Milka said all of a sudden, so I looked at her.
“Go on, dear,” Dad replied, looking at her.
“When I looked into the dead bodies, I saw a woman who looked exactly like Adeline associated with the man with a decaying face.”
“What!” Dad exclaimed.
“I think she’s my counterpart in Kaiser’s world,” I added. Since we’re telling him about the other world, I think we should tell him everything. It has been my plan since I came back from Kaiser’s world.
“We can say that the man with a decaying face is traveling inter-dimensionally at his own will,” Daniel replied,
“And he had been contacting and associating himself with people who look exactly like the people we are associated with?” Dad asked, and we all nodded. “This is serious. Have you told your mate about this?”
“No.”
“No?”
“Because I don’t know what was going on in his world. He’s an alpha, and he had duties to do as well. But I plan to discuss this thing with him when I return to his world.”
“And when is that?”
“I had no idea. As I already told you, it just happened.”
“So, when you disappear next time, we can assume that you’re in his world, and the more you travel there, the longer you stay.”
“Yes, Dad.” He nodded, but I could see the sadness on his face as he suddenly got old. Is he sad or something?
“Okay, you can leave,” Dad said before looking at Daniel and Milka, smiling. “You two, have time together now. I know you already know each other; still, have time to find something about each other.” We nodded before we got up from our seats. Daniel and Milka went ahead while I stayed and looked at my father. “Do you have anything else to say?” he asked when he noticed me still standing beside him.
“I just want to tell you that I love you, Dad,” I said, giving him my sweetest smile.
“And I love you too, dear,” he replied as he got up before giving me a warm embrace. It feels good having him by my side.
