Just Good
Kaiser
Adeline is sleeping, but I’m still awake. It’s already midnight, but I can’t fall asleep. I hope I am as good as this woman beside me. How could she do it, knowing she might wake up in her world?
I wanted to make love to her the whole night, but after we freshened up, we discussed everything that happened in our world. I thought I would like to rest, but after she started talking again and I saw how worried she was, I couldn’t help but think about what we should do.
The council has been informed about the recent incident around my border and other packs. What we discussed earlier will be relayed to everyone with the utmost importance. Kylo, why is he not here? No matter how much I called him, he didn’t respond. Did the same thing happen to Elda?
“Hmm..” I heard Adeline murmur. I looked at her, pulling her even closer to me. She hugs me, and it feels so good. I wanted to ask her about Mike but didn’t want to anger her. I’m afraid that once I started questioning her about whether they were still seeing each other, she would take it against me. I haven’t felt anything that warrants my jealousy. The whole time she was back in her world, I never felt anything that made me think they were getting intimate again.
But knowing how much she loves Mike still scares me. She loves me now because of the mate bond, whereas she loves Mike with all her heart. As she claims, without someone dictating her feelings, I feel insecure.
I don’t know what time I finally fell asleep. All I know is that I was still holding Adeline in my arms when I opened my eyes. Fuck, is this how it feels to see her after I wake up? What a beautiful day! Just like last night, I watched her in her sleep. I didn’t want to get up, even though I knew I had work.
“You should have woken me up instead of staring at me, you know,” she said, her eyes closed. I chuckled, thinking she had been awake all this time.
“I want to memorize every part of your face, Adeline,” I replied before she slowly opened her eyes.
“Good morning to you too, Kaiser,” she said, smiling. Is this how she usually looks every time she wakes up? How come she’s so beautiful? “I’m hungry,” she added. I smiled and got up from bed, and she did, too, which stunned me since she looked alluring in my shirt.
“What do you want to eat?” I asked when she started walking her way to my bathroom.
“Anything; I am not a picky eater,” she replied before she opened the bathroom door and got in. While waiting for her, I mind-linked the kitchen so they could prepare our food. Although I knew they were attentive, I didn’t want my mate to wait.
Keisha and Ryan were already in the dining hall. I sighed when I remembered how these two fought through their words, trying to impress each other.
“You look like you sleep well,” my younger sister said as soon as she saw Adeline, who had just shrugged her shoulders. “While my brother looks like shit, did you even sleep?” she added, looking at me.
“That’s because I’m so beautiful that he couldn’t help but watch me sleep the whole time,” Adeline smirked as Keisha rolled her eyes.
“Stop it, you two,” I said, looking at my younger sister. Of course, I couldn’t reprimand my mate because I didn’t want her to get mad at me.
“Tell that to her.” My younger sister said, glaring at me.
“Kaiser, do you have money?” Adeline asked abruptly.
“Wow! Do you even need to ask that?” Keisha exclaimed.
“It’s because I need clothes whenever I’m here. If you haven’t noticed, I am wearing his shirt, and I can’t go around here like this.” Adeline spoke, but her main purpose was to explain her reasons.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yeah, let’s buy it later,” I said instead, and my heart fluttered when she gave me her sweet smile. “Keisha, you two seem the same size; let her borrow your clothes later.”
“What!” my sister exclaimed.
“I can’t let her go out wearing only my shirt,” I replied, and she couldn’t do anything about it.
“Why don’t you stay here and let Keisha and I go to the mall and buy my things?” Adeline asked. I looked at her first, then at my sister. Is she thinking straight? Does she want to be with my bratty younger sister?
“You’re saying it so casually; are you sure about that? I didn’t want to go to the police station because you two fought along the way.”
“I am not a kid, Kaiser,” she replied.
“I’m not too!” My little sister exclaimed.
“Fine, if that’s what you want,” I said out of resignation. I know that I will end up doing everything she says. That’s how much I love her. “But bring Misch with you.”
“Why not me?” Ryan chimed in. This idiot had always been quiet, and now he opened his mouth and wanted to object.
“I need you here,” I replied. I saw him sigh deeply before I mind-linked Misch, whom I’m sure was on the training ground.
We finished eating before Adeline and I returned to our bedroom, waiting for Keisha to bring a set of her clothes for my mate to wear. I feel happy being with the two most important women in my life. If only they weren’t acting like cats and dogs.
“Keish, don’t cause trouble,” I reminded my bratty little sister, who just rolled her eyes at me. “Misch, take care of these two.”
“No problem, Alpha,” he replied.
“And baby,” I said, looking at my mate, whose eyes were widening. Maybe because of the endearment, but I decided to call her that simply because I love to. “This isn’t your world; humans here are oblivious to our kind. We can’t shift on our own free will. We have to consider the shock and trauma it will give to anyone who might see you.”
“I can fight in human form, Kaiser,” she replied confidently.
“I want to come, but I had a feeling that you didn’t want to, so enjoy the rest of your stay here.”
“If they come without me, don’t be too angry. I might have gone back to my world.” She reminded me, so I nodded. They turned and went to the van that was waiting for them. I also asked a few warriors to look after them since I knew the rogues were after my mate, which I had already told her last night. I trust her and her abilities.
Out of fear that she would return to her world while she was away, I couldn’t help but follow and stop her from getting in the van.
“What?” she asked, confused.
“Just in case you leave without saying goodbye,” I replied before pulling her closer and kissing me, to which she responded sincerely. “Take care, baby,” I said, brushing her lips with my thumb. She nodded, smiling, before continuing to get in the van.
Ryan and I watched them leave until the vehicle was out of sight. I sighed deeply before looking at my beta, who was also looking at me. “She’ll come back soon,” he said.
I nodded as I started walking back to the pack house. As I passed him, I gave him a light tap on his shoulder. I know that he, too, has a problem with Keisha, but I’m certain that they will be okay soon.
Keeping myself busy with pack duties is all I can do while waiting for them to come back. I had my fingers crossed that Adeline was still with them when that happened. Kylo and I will be the happiest, for sure.
Speaking of Kylo, why can’t I contact him? ‘Kylo?’ I called him out. ‘Ky?’ I called him again, but just like the first one, there was no response. I need to discuss this with Adeline as well. It’s only good if we maintain our communication with our wolves. We need them the way they need us. If we lose them, it’s like losing a part of us.
The whole day was full of alpha duties for me and worries about Adeline. I eagerly waited for their return as I watched the warriors do their training. Every day, I checked them to find any areas needing improvement. Ryan is in the pack hospital, checking everything that needs replenishment. If I made an effort to increase the budget for our kitchen, I would need to look into the school and pack hospital needs. My beta was responsible for that. He didn’t want to, but he had no choice.
“Come on, stretch your arms once you release a blow!” I shouted. Don’t hesitate, and always give your best shot!”
“Yes, alpha!” Everyone replied. They looked and sounded exhausted because they had been training since morning. They are a group of new warriors, so we need to train them properly.
“And don’t forget to defend with all your might, as if your life and that of your family and loved ones depend on it. Make sure to stay alive and aim to go home at the end of every battle.”
“Yes, Alpha!” they all replied again, and I nodded, letting them continue while I watched them as well.
I didn’t notice the time, and it was already afternoon. Then I remembered that Adeline and the others were not back yet. I decided to go back to the packhouse to get my phone so I could call them, but before I could take a step, Ryan mind-linked me. ‘Alpha, Misch called; they are in the police station.’
‘What!’ I exclaimed. Good! I had just warned them earlier, and yet here I am, on my way to the police station-the place that I reminded them not to go to before leaving. It’s just good.
