Kaiser
“Are you feeling better now?” Keisha asked worriedly. Judging by the atmosphere, I think I’m in one of the rooms of the pack hospital.
“Yeah,” I replied angrily.
“Misch told me that you found your mate and that–”
“Stop; I don’t want to hear it.” Her words won’t heal my broken heart, so I didn’t want to hear anything from her out of pity. She’s my younger sister, so I understand her concern, but I don’t need any discouraging words to gaslight the pain that I am going through.
“But, Kais–” I felt sorry after I glared at her. She bowed her head, and just like I wanted, she just kept quiet. Just as I was about to get up from the bed, the hospital room door opened, and Ryan came in with Misch. Surely they will only ask about how I feel.
“Ready to get discharged?” I smiled after hearing Ryan before he looked at Keisha. “Hi, sweetheart,” he greeted, but my stubborn little sister rolled her eyes at him, which made me and Misch laugh out loud.
“You still need to rest; use this chance to get away from your duties for a moment and let this bastard take care of everything,” Misch said as he walked closer to me and sat on a vacant chair beside my hospital bed.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“You know that I hate resting.”
“What happened to you is not some trivial matter, Kais.” He’s talking as a friend, and I couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Now I know why he was against my decision to reject his beta,” Keisha said suddenly, which made us all look at her. I could feel Ryan’s uneasiness and was waiting for what he was about to say.
“As if I am going to let you do that.”
“Yeah, just like my stupid alpha brother here,” Keisha replied. “Just who exactly is she that you are willing to suffer like this, Kaiser?”
“She’s not from here.” I replied, “And she hasn’t felt the mate bond.”
“How come? You knew she was yours; is she still young?” she continued asking.
“No. It’s just that, in her world, they could only find their mate during the blue moon.” Misch answered.
“I don’t get it in her world. Isn’t she living in our world too? Is she insane?” Keisha asks, confused.
“Sweetheart, just let your brother handle his own relationship. You have your things to think about.” Ryan said, smiling and acting cute. Is this what they agreed on? To make him look stupid? I shook my head before looking at Misch, who is now looking back at me.
“What?”
“Are you sure you’re okay?” He asked, concerned.
“Of course,
“About Luna,”
“I already told you, I am not going to reject her. She’s in love with someone else, but I know that it will change once she finds out about me.” He shook his head in disbelief. I know that they are only worried about me. Although what had happened to me was because I think she marked and mated with someone, I could still feel our bond, and that’s all that matters.
“What are you doing?” Keisha asked when I got up, went to a cabinet, and took my clothes before walking my way to the restroom.
“I’ll change and go back to the pack house. I have a lot of things to do.” I answered.
“Are you crazy? You know what you’ve just been through, and yet you want to work already?” she exclaimed.
“And I can tell that I am perfectly fine.” I said before looking at Ryan, “Take her back to the pack house as well.” I added it and continued getting into the restroom.
‘Can’t she want us back?’ I heard Kylo. It’s the first time I’ve heard him sound weak. Mates are the only thing that could make us vulnerable.
‘She’ll realize that she wants us when she feels the mate bond. Don’t worry about it, Kylo.’ I replied.
‘I hope so, Kaiser. All I want is to be with my mate.’ I sighed heavily because I didn’t know what I would do either. Yes, I am in so much pain. I love Adeline, and whenever she tells me about Mike, I feel worse. But I will hold on and wait until she feels the bond. Everything will be okay once it happens.
Just as I wanted, I went to the pack house and found my sister waiting, sitting on my office table. She looked irritated, and I feel she started to dislike Adeline for me. That’s how she is, and I can already imagine how my mate would be when they meet. There are two arrogant and independent women in my life. Just perfect.
“Ryan told me that you still want that bitch!” she said angrily.
“Watch your mouth if I were you. She’s still my mate.”
“Your mate doesn’t want you!” she exclaimed,
“Ryan already told you everything on your way here, right? So you should know that she has not smelled me yet. She loves the man, and she feels it. How do you think she has been through now?”
“I don’t get it, Kais; he’s a human. You’re way better than him.”
“Adeline didn’t love Mike because he’s strong. She loves her because he cares for her, and he loves her as well. And one more thing: my mate is strong. Stronger than you think she is.”
Keisha sighed heavily, still worried about me. But I didn’t want her to think less of Adeline. As much as possible, I would want to understand her in any way I can. I have been with different women before, so I am not one to judge her. She’s in love, while I go only for a fuck.
“So, you will just accept it? Do you still believe that once she smells you, she’ll change her mind and leave that boyfriend of hers?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t know Kais. One thing you should know about women is that we never want to hurt the people who show us kindness. Especially when they love us more than anything else.” For a moment, I felt nervous. “I am not trying to scare you; I just want you to be ready just in case what you believe in doesn’t happen. Know that I am always here for you.”
And how am I supposed to reply to that? From the very beginning, Adeline told me about Mike and rejection. Because of my feelings, I believe in the power of our mate bond and the moon goddess who paired us. “I’ll be in my room if you need anything,” Keisha said as she started walking her way to my office door. “By the way, I will return to work and my class on Monday.” I smiled and nodded at her. She will be very busy in the coming days, I’m sure of it.
I was left in my office, so I sat in my chair and looked at the pile of papers on my table. There were reports from the patrol guards and some financial reports from my younger sister. I think I will look at it first so I can discuss it with her before she leaves if I ever find something that needs to be discussed.
The business report from the company is easy to understand. All the details that I needed to know, especially the expenses, were recorded clearly. From the very beginning, I never got confused. With just one look, I know where the money was spent and came from.
There were a lot of things to improve in the pack, so I had to make sure that everything was going smoothly with our businesses. That is where we get the pack’s living expenses. I was so busy with work that I momentarily forgot about Adeline.
There were pack issues that I needed to look into, and I will do that next. There was a request from one of the warriors that needed to be addressed, so I got up from my chair and went out. “Where are you going?” Misch asked when we bumped into each other on the last step of the stairs.
“To Morris.”
“Why?”
“There seems to be a problem in his family. He requested a leave.” I answered.
“Have you had your lunch?” he asked again, and then I remembered that I had not eaten anything since I came back here. “Don’t tell me you tried to finish all that paperwork on your table again.”
“You know me,” I replied,
“There is no need for you to go to Morris; I have already been there and discussed some things with them. Go to the kitchen and eat first.”
“You should know; I’m your alpha.”
“I am telling you as a friend. You’re still weak, and you need to replenish all the energy that you’ve lost because of what happened.”
“You’re acting like a nagging father,” I commented.
“Kais, you’re our alpha, and we need you. I don’t know about Kylo, but seeing you right now is making me worried.”
“He’s sad, but fine. He can manage because I assured him that our mate will eventually accept us.”
“Don’t give him false hope.”
“I’m not. I just believe in the moon goddess, and I know that she had a reason why she paired me with her.” I said that and started walking to the kitchen while he followed.
“The blue moon is in two weeks; are you ready?” he asked before looking at the omega, who was assigned to the kitchen. “Give Alpha something to replenish his energy,” he commanded. The omega nodded before she left the dining area, and we took our seats.
“You know I am always ready for everything.”
“Why don’t you go with Keisha into human territory? Have a look at the company and probably try to relax for a few days. Leave everything to me and Ryan,” he suggested. “Come on, Kais. You need it,” he insisted.
For a moment, I thought about it. I didn’t want to leave the pack unattended, but I also believed in my beta and gamma. They are both good and strong. Plus, I have reliable warriors and fighters that will help them if something happens.
The company is in the city next to our town. It will be a two-hour trip, and I think I will be able to get back if there’s an emergency. “So?” Misch asked. I sighed before nodding. I’ll be in the corporate world for a week or two.
