Chapter 53: Den of wolves

Opening the shoe box, I noticed the small black velvet box beside it. I put down the shoe box and got it instead. Now I see what ring Lucius meant. It's this.

The diamond ring made me gasp. It is simple but elegant. Back then I always thought the ring I would put on my ring finger would be given by my mate, but look how it turned out. I shook my head with a bitter smile on my lips, sliding the ring through my finger.

While drying my hair, I can't help but wonder if Lucius had met his mate. For us wolf shifters mates are our other halves, the only ones destined for us. No one can hold our hearts like they do. That is how powerful a mate bond is. I haven't met my mate yet. I haven't felt that strong pull, that deep connection with someone. I wish he's strong and capable. Someone who can free me from Lucius' grip and help me take back my pack.
