The word "mate" lingered in Selena's mind, causing her heart to tighten. What if he actually finds his mate today? Lost in her thoughts, Selena failed to notice the frown on Rufus's face upon hearing her words. Rufus's eyes flickered with hurt, but he quickly masked it. "Don't think that will ever happen," he replied, trying to hide his disappointment. "Have a mate? Don't say that. The moon goddess assigned everyone with a mate..." Selena said softly as she rested her head on Rufus's shoulder.

Rufus's POV As soon as Selena and I returned from the office, I made my way to Lillian's spell room. "Hey, how's it going?" I greeted Lillian as I stepped into the room. Lillian let out a sigh and moved away from the table filled with various small bottles. "Not much progress," she replied, and I couldn't help but clench my hand tightly. "How much more time do you need?" I asked, rubbing my hands together gently. "I'm not sure, Rufus. I'm still trying to piece everything together," Lillian responded, walking back to the table and picking up one of the bottles, shaking it vigorously. I hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question that had been on my mind. "Um... Lillian, is there a chance that the white wolf with the blood of a wolf could also be my mate?" Lillian's hand, which had been shaking the bottle, suddenly stopped midway. She looked at me with raised eyebrows. "Why do you ask?" she paused, her eyebrows furrowing as if I had done something wrong. Shaking
Selena's POV"Rufus," I called out suddenly. "What do you think will happen if you eventually find your mate?"My voice caused Rufus to freeze in place."Oh no, Selena!

Rufus's POV I've been in the business world for a long time, and I've been deeply involved in my family's dangerous environment. Over the years, I've developed the ability to see into people's hearts. The moment Selena asked that question, I immediately understood what she meant. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly as I looked at her. My throat tightened, and my heart felt like it was boiling, bubbling with emotions. "I don't plan on letting you go," I finally managed to say after some thought and internal struggle. Selena's eyes instantly sparkled, and she looked at me hesitantly. The smile on her lips deepened, revealing her adorable dimples. In a soft voice, she asked, "So you don't want to let me go? Does that mean I have a chance with you, even though you have a mate?" I thought she would confess her love and ask to be my girlfriend. But I didn't need her to do that. I just wanted her to openly, simply, and passionately express her feelings for me. "Do you like me?" I a

Meanwhile, inside a bar in the Shadow pack, Ava sat alone at her table, but her eyes kept wandering at a particular table. Noticing that the lady was getting a bit drunk and on her fifth drink, Ava stood up and accidentally knocked over her own table. Ava cursed in annoyance as she took a few long strides. She approached Louisa and grabbed her arm, saying, "Stop drinking and get up, I'll take you home." Louisa turned her head, her eyes glazed, and patted Ava's hand on her arm. "How did you know I was here?" Louisa asked, but then hissed loudly, as if not expecting Ava to a
Selena's POV As I sat at home, my phone suddenly rang, indicating an incoming call from Louisa. I quickly swiped the screen to answer. "Hello..." Louisa's weak voice came through the other end. I immediately sensed that something was off. "Louisa, are you feeling sick?" "No, I'm fine. I'm just on my heat..." Louisa replied with a heavy nasal voice before adding, "I just took the last of my medication at home. Are you still at work?" "Oh, no worries. I'm home. I'll grab the medication for you and be there in just an hour," I assured her, hearing her sneeze on the other end of the line. "Okay, thank you." After that, she hung up the phone. I got up from the bee and quickly changed into a comfortable dress. On my way, I stopped by the pharmacy to pick up the medication and also bought some fresh ingredients to bring along. The journey to Louisa's place was a bit long. I gazed out of the car window, taking in the scenery. After staring for a while, my eyes grew tired, so I deci
