I'm the Alpha's Mate

Chapter 18

By the time Ryujin and I walked back to the house it was dark. The moon was high in the sky surrounded by bright stars. Ryujin watched the trees like a hawk for rogues, even I got a little creeped out by the bushes moving by themselves. Even though it was pretty windy.

When we got entered the house it was empty. The body was no longer on the floor and everyone has left.

I'm completely exhausted, getting up the stairs was more like climbing a mountain. Ryujin had some work to finish up so she said that she'll be up in a bit.

When I got in her room I headed straight for the shower. Just feeling the hot water run down my skin was incredibly invigorating. I wanted to stay in the shower forever but I would shrivel up like a prune.

So I got out a wrapped a gray fluffy towel around my body and let my hair air dry like usual. What am I supposed to wear? I don't feel like asking for another tiny pink nightgown.

I sighed and headed out into the bedroom. Guess I'll just have to wear something of Ryujin's. I entered her closet and slowly walked in, running my fingertips over the many fabrics.

A gray v-neck shirt stood out to me and I dropped the towel, switching it with the soft shirt. The shirt draped down to the middle of my thighs and hung off my shoulder. So I slipped my bra back on then grabbed a pair of boxer briefs for one of Ryujin's dressers. Hopefully, she won't mind.

After I looked somewhat covered I made my way down to Ryujin's office. It's time I tell her about my ability. I'm nervous as hell, I mean what if she thinks I'm a psychopath?

"She won't, she's our mate!" Lucy growls at me.

"Yeah, yeah," I roll my eyes and continue down the staircase.

The closer I got to her office I started to hear a conversation. At first, it sounded like mumbles but now I can hear it crystal clear.

"Look just find Soobin!" Ryujin's voice commands. "I don't care if it takes years, you will find my brother!"

"Yes, Alpha." The other voice obeyed then a man came rushing out of the office, swinging the doors open. Swiftly I grabbed onto one before it shut closed.

Ryujin glanced up at me and when she did a small smirk like smile appeared on her lips. "I love you in my clothes." She peered right into my eyes and I couldn't help but blush a little on my cheeks.

"Where's Soobin?" I ask randomly and sit down in one of the two leather chairs facing Ryujin.

"No one knows, but I sent double the search groups out looking for him," Ryujin mutters and runs her hand through her dark hair. "Damn Soobin."

I chewed on my lip lightly and tapped my foot against the wood floor. "Uh, I have something I should probably tell you." I mumble and look down at my hands resting on my lap.

"Just please don't think that I'm crazy." She walked over to me and crouched down in front of my knees. Her hand gently lifted up my chin so I was gazing right into her emerald eyes. "I thought I was the crazy one."

"Promise me," I whispered like a light breeze in the autumn air. "Ryujin, please." My voice cracks and fearful tears form in my eyes. I will never forget the day that I told my mother.

> Flashback time, bhie <

"Don't you think they will be funny about it?"

"Yeji, they are your parents, and they love you." Her angelic voice cradled me in her arms.

"Okay, let's go." I agreed and marched down the stairs from my pink and yellow bedroom. My white ballerina shoes tapped against the tile as I looked in the kitchen for mom.

"Oh honey, you're a beautiful ballerina." My mother's amused tone filled my ears from behind me.

"Thanks, mom." I giggled and spun in my dress up tutu. "Mommy where's dad?" I asked and climbed up on one of the kitchen barstool facing the counter.

"He's at work honey, but he'll be back soon okay?" She smiled at me and continued to dry dishes from the dishwasher.

My legs swung back and forth and I fiddled with my fluffy white tutu. "Mommy, do you talk to people?"

"Of course, I'm talking to you aren't I?"

I sighed and looked up at her. "No mom, do you talk to the moon goddess?"

She lightly laughed and set the dry white plate on the granite counter. "Honey, no one can talk to the moon goddess, did the kids at school tell you something silly?"

"Then how come I can mom?" I tilt my head to the side and gaze at her curiously.

"Baby you don't talk to the moon goddess, now go upstairs and play if you're going to act silly." She continued to dry dishes.

"But I'm not pretending!" I wine and kick my feet against the counter island.

"Yeji, that's enough!"

"But mom, she's up in my room!" I shout. "Go see! She talks to me every day about fairies and Princesses." I state proudly.

Frustratingly she groaned and grabbed my hand. She dragged me upstairs and pushed open my bedroom door. Like I said the moon goddess was sitting on my bed, and when I came in her face covered in worry.

"See mommy she's right there!" I point to the tall beautiful woman sitting on the end of my small bed.

"Yeji, she cannot see me like you can."

> End of Flashback <

"Yeji, what is it?" Ryujin asks more sternly.

I take a deep breath and try my best to relax my tense muscles.

"I-I can see and speak to the moon goddess."
