My Mate From Another World

Adeline

“You know what? I really admire your stubbornness.” Milka said. We are on our way to the witch she met after an intense argument with Dad and Daniel. I roll my eyes at her, making her laugh louder.

“If I am not going to be like that, we won’t be able to see that witch,” I replied. “Another thing is, I really felt odd about her. Something is telling me that I need to go and see her.”

“I hope whatever you feel will be useful or relevant to what was going on. I wanted you to be happy with Kaiser, just like me to your brother.” I looked at her, and all I saw was sincerity. Milka had been my best friend for as long as I can remember. She’s not easy to befriend because she was initially eccentric. She likes to stay alone and at home, while I am noisy and outgoing. I never thought we would become friends, but where are we now?

“I had a feeling that she would be able to help us,” I said, smiling confidently.

We continued driving and reached our destination before dinner. We decided to stop over for a meal so we could talk to the witch as soon as we met her. I hope she will be willing to help us out.

Feeling full, Milka and I, along with the warriors who were with us, went back to our cars. Of course, Dad never agreed to let us go without them, and I understand that. Elijah might be around and took this chance to do his plan. But my friend prepared for it as well. She made a potion to hide our scents, so we are plain human right now unless we meet someone we know along the way.

It was dark, but due to my wolf, I could still see clearly. I held on to Milka’s hand and walked with her, followed by two of the warriors, while the others were on the lookout. We reached the entrance door, and then I knocked.

After a few more knocks, the door was opened by an old woman. “Hi,” Milka said, smiling, waving her hand. “I’m back with my friend,” she added, making the old woman look at me. Her eyes widened after seeing me. I don’t know, but isn’t it weird for someone to react that way during the first meeting? Why does she seem like she knows me?

“Get in,” the old woman said before she opened the door wider. Milka and I got in after I looked at the warrior and mind-linked them to stay behind. My eyes widened when I finally came in. How come a small house would be this big after I entered?

“I remember seeing a small house before we knocked,” I said. The old woman looked at me, and Milka laughed. Is there something funny about what I said?

“This place is enchanted. There’s a lot of things that need to be protected from humans and evil supernatural beings.” I nodded in understanding. I think witches are something. “Have you eaten?” she asked, making Milka and I nodded.

“We came here because we want to know something,” Milka said hesitantly. I know she felt awkward since we just arrived, and we went straight to asking her about our reason for coming over.

“I know,” the old woman replied. Milka looked at me, and so did I. “First, I want to introduce myself.” she continued while she motioned for us to take our seats. “I am Adelle.” The shock was an understatement. I didn’t see that coming. My eyes were not leaving her, and I saw how she had changed her appearance.

“Adeline..” said Milka, whose eyes were also on the old woman. Or should I say, Adelle?

“You’re Adelle?” I asked, confused, and she nodded. “And I am not your reincarnation,” I added.

“I am alive; how is that even possible?” she chuckled. “Though you’re my, what– great, great, great granddaughter?” Milka and I couldn’t believe it. She thought that the woman in the diary was still alive before, but we still couldn’t believe it.

In our world, there’s nothing impossible. But being in an actual unbelievable situation is not something everyone would experience. “I am also your Aunt’s witch friend, whom your father thought killed her,” I added to Adelle, and that made me look at Milka because she thought it was the case as well. “I had to change my appearance because I didn’t want Elijah to find me. I had been hiding from him, and thank the goddess for succeeding.”

“Wait up,” I said, halting her to talk more. “How did you end up being friends with my aunt again?”

“She was interested in witchcraft. I asked her why, and she said she didn’t know either. She just suddenly felt like trying to learn it. That leads her to come to me. She said she saw in her dream about me and this place, so I believed and thought it was time to put an end to Elijah. I thought your aunt would be the one who would be able to defeat that evil man since your father is a strong alpha. That’s why I gave her all the necessary books she might need.”

“But she died.” I chimed in.

“It was a natural death, though. I thought that maybe she went too far with experimenting with potions.” That information saddened me because Dad blamed the witch for Aunt’s death.

“What’s with the hiding? You can change your appearance; why must you isolate yourself?”

“It’s my job,” she answered.

“Job?” Milka asked, confused.

“I was tasked to be here, though I was also allowed to roam, but not for long. As much as possible, I shouldn’t leave this place.”

“Can you explain?” Milka asked impatiently. I knew she wanted to know more, and in one go. That’s how she is when it comes to information unknown to her.

“After I gave birth to my youngest child, everything was okay. But I was dying to see Oliver and wanted to be with him. Mike is the most sensible man I’ve ever known, but it wasn’t enough for me to be completely happy. He’s far from my mate, who was fierce and ruthless. To make the story short, my husband died, and once again, I was filled with grief. On the brink of death, I made a deal with the moon goddess.” Milka and I are just listening, feeling sad for her.

“It must have been hard for you as well when you lost Mike,” I said,

“Yes. He has a place in my heart, and I will remember him forever.”

“What kind of deal did you make with the moon goddess?” Milka asked again.

“She made an offer to me. She also wanted to stop Elijah because she said he wouldn’t stop until he got me and would wait until I got reincarnated. So she made me look after this shelter in exchange for my immortality, and I will never have a chance to be reincarnated.”

“That means you won’t have a chance to be with Oliver again,” Milka said in a low voice.

“Are you okay with that?” I asked as well.

“If this means I will get to see Elijah’s end, then it’s fine,” Adelle replied with a sad look. “No matter how often I will be reincarnated, he will always be there to take me away from my mate.”

I understand her, and she will only get hurt repeatedly. Still, her sacrifice was so great that it cost her the chance to be happy.

‘Adeline, let me talk to her.’ Said Elda. I almost forgot about her.

“Adelle.”

“Elda?” she asked,

“It’s you!” Elda exclaimed. “I know this woman is not you, and when I remember how you look and when all my memories return, I still don’t believe that you and she are one.”

‘I’m far from Adelle, Elda. And what do you mean by what you said?’ I asked her, but she ignored me and continued talking to Adelle.

“How are you, Elda?’ Adelle asked.

“I’ve been good, only I had to deal with this stubborn girl,” she replied, smirking, which made me roll my eyes at her, and Adelle chuckled.

“You’re still the same,” my grandma replied. “You heard everything I told her, right?”

“Yes, and I promise to do everything to defeat that evil man to make your sacrifice not go to waste.”

“Thank you. You have to look after Adeline now. Make sure she won’t do anything stupid so you and Kylo can be together again happily.”

“That I will surely do,” Elda replied, letting me talk to Adelle again.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
