Chapter 59: Finding Zoe

Author's note: This is from Luca's point of view

'Go after her!', Shadow shouted in my mind as Zoe disappeared among the trees.

'What if she rejects me?', I finally said what was plaguing my mind from the moment I figured out that Zoe was my mate.

What if she doesn't want me?

Am I worthy of her?

Zoe was always the one shining, while I basked in her light. I am not good enough for her. She deserves someone who can stand next to her as equal, and what am I? At most, I am a backup dancer in the show Zoe is starring. I never minded watching her from the side, but now I regret that I stayed passive.

If I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, if I achieved more, Zoe would not run away from me.

I could feel Shadow's disapproval. He never liked my waves of negativity that are plaguing me occasionally, and for the last week, I was mostly drowning in it.
