Look Like Her?
Kaiser
“I can’t be looking like the woman in that diary I was reading, right?” she asked. Then she smiled as if she were certain and continued, “Milka said that she saw someone who looked exactly like me in the memories of one of the girl’s dead bodies as if assisting that decaying man.”
“What?” I asked, shocked.
“It should be her and not me, right?” she continued.
“What do you mean Milka saw you?” I asked again.
“When my friend, Milka, looked into the memories of one of the girls, she saw someone who looked exactly like me standing together with the decaying man,” she answered. The fuck! Should I tell her about what the council member told me? “I don’t look like the woman in the diary the way you look like Oliver in that notebook, right?” she asked again.
I looked at her intently, wondering whether I would tell her my thoughts since she didn’t like having the same face as the woman in the diary she read. “Hey, why are you not saying anything? Don’t tell me-”
“Baby,” I said, she has to know. She has to be ready, just in case. “The Luna in this notebook promises to return to her mate no matter what.”
“So? What does it have to do with me having the same face as her?” She asked in denial.
“What if we are mated to each other because it was her way of coming back?” I asked as well.
“What? No way! I am me, not a reincarnation of anyone. Do you believe you and Oliver are the same in your notebook?” I thought about it, and just like her, I didn’t want to believe it either. But we have to be rational and think things through. We need to prepare ourselves for everything.
“Baby, we need to be ready for everything. In any case, if you look exactly like the woman in the diary you are reading, the decaying man you are talking about will come find you.”
“He already found this face, and she’s already with him,” she replied.
“We can’t be sure about that. The Luna that we are talking about only loves her mate. You said it; even if she was married to Mike, her heart still aches for her mate.”
“No,” she said, trying to get up from my lap, but I didn’t let her. Then I remembered my dream and suddenly felt scared. The woman who was tied to a chair was screaming as if she were being raped, but no one was there. Is it Oliver’s Luna? If she was, then did that scene happen? According to the notebook, the Gamma found Luna in a cabin, where she was heavily wounded and unconscious.
“Baby, please listen to me.” I said, “I don’t know how I will be able to come to your world. And even if I didn’t want to, we could be connected with Oliver and his Luna. And the man that you are talking about wanted you.”
“Kaiser, that’s absurd.”
“I want to keep you safe, baby. I don’t know what I will do if that man succeeds again and manages to separate us by taking you away from me. I can’t take it. Oliver was an alpha like me, but a human had defeated him. Now I understand that that man did something to his Luna, so he weakened. I saw it, baby. What happened to his Luna? I saw it in my dream.” I said it with my forehead on hers.
She didn’t say anything, and we stayed that way. We have our enemy, and we have to fight for our love that that man threatened. Whoever he was, one thing is certain: I will not let history repeat itself. “You belong in my world, to begin with, baby. You are already mine even before we are born.”
“If we are them-”
“We’re not them. That man wanted to think that we were.” I intervened, preventing her from finishing her sentence. I didn’t want her to think that what happened to Oliver and his mate would eventually happen to us.
“But–”
“No more buts. There’s an explanation for this, and there are many reasons why we look like them, if ever. It is also possible that we have the same wolf as them.”
“Elda and Kylo were their wolves?” She asked, and I nodded.
“Where are they now? They said they were together in a different realm, right?” I asked, and she nodded, continuing, “They must have forgotten what happened to them, and being unable to hear us talking right now leaves them out of a possible truth.”
“Then we should tell them,”
“But once they’re back, you might get back to your world as well,” I replied.
“Kaiser, I hate that the moon goddess is doing this to me and us. Why can’t I just have the love I deserve? Why is it being threatened by the past that we have nothing to do?”
“We have responsibilities, baby. Not only to ourselves but to others. They need us, and I’m sure that together, we will be able to end that man’s madness.”
“They never succeeded before; how are you sure that we will be able to fight him now?”
“Because we already had an idea about what he wanted.”
“And what is that?”Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Oliver’s Luna, YOU,” I replied, and she just looked at me. I didn’t want to scare her, but she needs to be ready so she will be able to fight. I won’t be able to stay with her all the time because she lives in a different world, so she has to stay strong no matter what.
“You’re scaring me…” she muttered.
“No, baby. I want you to be ready. When I’m not with you, never go anywhere alone. Stay with your brother or father when you’re in your world.”
“But I didn’t want to be a burden.”
“You’re not!” I exclaimed. “We’re just trying to lessen the chance that that man could get; that’s why I’m asking you to keep yourself safe all the time. Baby, we don’t know what he looks like. We can’t let our guard down, and before we know it, he has already taken you.”
Adeline looked down and fidgeted with her fingers. I could tell that she was thinking, judging by the crease on her forehead. Her eyebrows almost reached, and she closed her eyes. Then she looked at me, full of determination.
“I will let Dad and Daniel know about this. Milka is a witch, so I think she can also help us with that man.” I smiled and nodded. “I am not going to lie,” she continued. “I was afraid for my friend’s life because when she looked into the memories of those dead bodies, she told me that the man with the decaying face looked at her. It was as if he saw her and was in that very incident.”
“You’re thinking that whoever that man is, he already knew that you knew something?” I asked, and she nodded. “Why are you only telling me this, baby? You could have been in danger, and that of your friend!” I exclaimed. Something had already happened, and she was keeping it from me.
“I did! I told you everything.”
“But not the part wherein you could be in danger.”
“I didn’t want you to overthink. I knew you’d only get worried and have things to do here.”
“But you have to tell me everything. We’re worlds apart, baby.” I said this after I heaved a deep sigh. I want to get mad at her for keeping something important, but I know I can’t show her that. I didn’t realize that my patience could extend to this point.
Out of fear, I pulled her and hugged her tight, and she did the same. This thing will get solved, and if that man still wants Oliver’s Luna and he sees her through Adeline, there’s no way I will give her to him. My mate is mine alone, and no man or decaying man, immortal or not, can take her away from me. This, I promise.
