My Mate From Another World

Kaiser

“Alpha!” Ryan called out. We were talking about what Adeline and I had discussed in my office. As usual, she was not here anymore. We were lying on our bed, resting after our intense lovemaking that morning, when Kylo suddenly talked to me, and my mate disappeared. Guess what? It’s been over a week, and she hasn’t returned yet.

“I’m sorry, my mind was occupied by something,” I replied, sighing.

“I thought Luna told you that Elda could bring her back here at will,” Misch asked when he realized I was thinking about my mate.

“That’s what I thought too. Even Kylo knew that she would be coming at that time.” I answered.

“Did Kylo tell you anything? Did you ask him?”

“Yeah, I already did. But he just told me that Elda is also not contacting him.”

“You’re not feeling anything, right?” Ryan asked, and I nodded. “Then nothing happened to her. Maybe she was trying to solve some cases there along with her family, just like we are doing now,” he added.

“I hope so,” I replied. “Alright, let’s continue.”

“As I was saying,” Misch began, “the man who gathers some rogues is found in the next town.”

“What is he doing there?”

“Probably doing the same. But he was talking to a few humans.” My gamma answered.

“If he was talking to humans, is it possible they might be from Luna’s world?” Ryan asked,

“Or he could be recruiting them to go to Luna’s world,” I uttered, and both directed their gaze toward me. I leaned back and waited for them to react. I want to know if they share the same thoughts or not. All their points of view and opinions are important for me to be able to think critically.

“That’s possible, especially when Luna finally confirms to us that they have cases of refusal of dead bodies from family members in their world as well,” Misch said as he tapped his fingers on the table. He must be feeling excited because we have possible answers to all our questions. Something we didn’t have before confused us with all the incidents.

“Our tracker is still following that man,” Ryan asked, and my gamma nodded. “Make sure he was careful; we can’t be too complacent. It would be better if we assumed he already knew he was being followed.”

“Misch already thought about that,” I chimed in and continued. “There are backups in the area as well. Our tracker is not alone on that mission.”

“Thank goddess. Our enemy is not an easy one. He’s a devil.” I agree with Ryan. He had managed to take Oliver’s Luna before, which weakened him and caused his death, so it won’t be a surprise if he is ready at this time.

“If that man was a step ahead of us, we need to keep going and find more information about him,” I said, massaging my temple.

“This is difficult because we had no idea how he looked or his name. We don’t have a single lead that might help us track his previous life before he decided to sell himself to the devil.” I saw Ryan agree with Misch, and the feeling is mutual. It was the reason we couldn’t find anything about that man. Adeline said they didn’t see what he looked like either because it was decaying and just starting to regenerate.

“The only lead we have right now is that man, who was gathering some rogues. I’m sure he has something to do with the man Adeline is talking about. We can also consider that he was from her world, and his counterpart here is already dead in my mate’s world.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

“Our trackers and warriors do their best to get everything they can. I strictly instructed them not to engage in any kind of fight. They should leave the place at all costs and return to the pack to report whatever they will find.” My gamma is a thinker. It’s not good to fight when we don’t know who we are against.

“For now, that’s all we can do besides being cautious and vigilant.” I replied, “Keisha and I are going to the city tomorrow; we will have a meeting since the new administrator wants to do something and needs our approval.”

“Okay, Alpha,” the two replied. I trust that, as always, they will do their best to protect the pack while I am away. Ryan and Keisha had marked each other, and I found out from Adeline that it was because of a bet she and my bratty little sister made. But my mate thought my little sister wanted that already, and her pride stopped her from letting my beta do it.

The next day, Keisha attended a meeting with Corrine and Raymond. They are both packs’ omegas and excelled in their school days until they started working for the company. We chose them because they had been with us from the beginning, starting from the lowest position and eventually rising to become managers.

“Alpha, someone wants to partner with us,” Raymond said. I creased my forehead and looked at Keisha, who just shrugged her shoulders.

“What kind of partnership?” I asked curiously. No one has ever tried to do business with us. It was always us who found potential business partners.

“They wanted to put up an architecture firm,” he answered. We are in real estate, and even if the architecture firm is perfect, I don’t see any reason to agree since someone can do that for our company.

“What’s your take on this?” I asked Keisha.

“Why not ask them first?” My little sister replied, so I looked at our two administrators.

“For me, it was very unusual that they came to us. Although I will not deny that having an architecture firm will benefit the company, we don’t need to make any unnecessary expenses, and the cost will be less expensive.” Raymond said this before looking at Corrine.

“I second the motion. That was also why I suggested they make a proposal and submit it to us,” the woman replied before handing me a folder I gave Keisha to read.

“Everything seems fair.” My little sister said.

“What do you think?” I asked,

“It would be better if we talked to them in person.” She answered, and I agreed with her. “But we have to know more about their company first, and we’re going to do that while we schedule our meeting.”

“You heard her,” I told Corrine and Raymond, and they both nodded in understanding.

We didn’t go back to the pack, and we waited for the meeting, which was scheduled for five days. I asked Raymond to look into the company and submit a report to me in three days, so Keisha and I could consider the offer.

While waiting for the report, I read the documents that Raymond and Corrine received from the company. It’s the same one that Keisha read before we agreed to meet with them. Everything looks good to me, just like what my little sister said. They have protected their assets, and so have we. They explained the contents in detail, and I see no reason not to agree as a businessman.

The real estate business continuously grows. Despite being young and a student, Keisha is very hands-on and doesn’t leave anything unclear. She likes to learn, so when she doesn’t understand something, she sees that she gives time to learn it, if not fully understand it. What matters to her is that she has a glimpse of where her decision will go.

Just like before, we stayed in the apartment Keisha was renting. We didn’t let go of the unit because we needed it on time like this. The company has built a building exclusively for employees near our company building. It’s for those having a hard time traveling from home to work. Of course, we will have our unit once the construction is finished, and only then will we leave Keisha’s apartment.

The day of the meeting arrived, and we agreed to meet in a restaurant. We booked a private room so we could talk properly.

“Hello, Mr. Heroux, Ms. Heroux.” Said the old woman. “I’m Allison Carter, the chief architect of the firm.” She introduced herself and extended her hand for a handshake, which Keisha and I accepted before taking our seats. Our order has been served, and we started the meeting.

The meeting went well after more than two hours of discussion, and we were satisfied. We will draft the contract before we schedule the signing. We ended the deal with a handshake before we left the private room. Allison left first and was on our way to the parking lot when I heard someone call me.

“Kaiser!” When I turned to see who it was, a smile appeared on my lips. There’s my mate, whom I’ve been missing for almost two weeks. But why does it feel like there’s something different about her? What is it?
