I surveyed my surroundings to identify the source of the voice, but the area was devoid of any presence. No individuals are present.
I am the sole individual present. “Identify yourself. Reveal your presence immediately, or I shall extract you myself.”
The voice laughed. Do you wish to remove me? But how?
I survey my surroundings. “Cease your observations.” I am present here.
“Reveal yourself. Where are you?” I exclaimed.
I am present. “I reside within your thoughts,” she declared.
Shut your eyes and perceive my presence.
I adhered precisely to the instructions provided. I shut my eyes and perceive it. I observed a magnificent fire wolf with golden eyes. I was astonished. “I possess a wolf.” I am not devoid of a wolf, “I exclaimed.
“You were never devoid of a wolf,” she stated. I apologise for my tardiness in approaching you. I was in a state of slumber, and you lacked the strength to rouse me. I have recently awakened now that you possess vigour. Your robust physique compels me to remain alert.
I am Layne. It is a pleasure to meet you.
“I am Jessica.” “Layne, I propose we become friends,” I stated. She responded with a laugh. Certainly.
“I possess a wolf.” I own a magnificent fire wolf. I am not cowardly.
JESSICA’S PERSPECTIVE.
The enticing aroma of food wafts towards me. I enter the kitchen to find Jimmy engaged in serious culinary preparation.
“Jimmy, please tell me you are the one responsible for preparing this exquisite, delectable cuisine!”I murmured, indicating the food presented on the table.
“Indeed, dear, you are permitted to commence.” I provide this for you!He whispered.
“For me? In what manner?”
“I prepared this for you, to commemorate your encounter with the wolf,” he responded.
“Oh, Jimmy.” “Thank you,” I remarked, flushing with embarrassment.
“Anything for you, my dear,” he smiles.
Subsequently, Jimmy and I commenced our meal. He is exceedingly kind and amiable towards me.
Why is the moon goddess unable to unite me with this benevolent individual? Why did she pair me with someone devoid of compassion, like my current mate?
“What occupies your thoughts, Jessica?” Jimmy enquires.
“Ha!” “Nothing,” I replied.
“I doubt it,” he smirks. “I have observed you ceasing to eat and appearing preoccupied. Is something troubling you, Jessica? You have been tapping your spoon against your plate.”
He observed. He understands me too intimately. How can I disclose to him that I am contemplating my undesirable companion? Will he perceive me as unkind? Jimmy has been treating me with respect. He is forthright, and I ought to reciprocate with honesty.
“It is of no consequence, Jimmy,” I reply with a smile. I am merely contemplating my companion. “Why would the moon goddess choose to bond me with someone like him?” Why am I not partnered with an individual who is virtuous and compassionate?
Jessica, you overanalyse. You cannot challenge the goddess who has paired you with him; the deity possesses superior wisdom. Regarding your mate’s rejection, it stems from his belief that you lack a wolf. He is, after all, the king.
I exhaled in exasperation. “Are you suggesting that I should comprehend him solely due to his royal status?” That is a feeble justification, Jimmy. He never affords me an opportunity. He dismisses me with indifference, believing I am of little value. He degraded me. What an imbecile! I assure myself I will reimburse that individual every cent.
Jimmy observed me as I expressed my grievances against my former companion. I was infuriated, exceedingly enraged. I have awaited my partner throughout my life, just to encounter him and face rejection. Who engages in that behaviour? He explicitly threatened to murder both myself and my mother. He committed numerous horrible acts against me. He dismissed and degraded me. He treats me disrespectfully in the club, and ultimately, he selects a Luna for himself, intending to mark her and eliminate me. I desire a partner who will appreciate me for my true self. Throughout my life, my mother has instructed me on the nature of fated mates. My friend declined my advances. Even my father despises me. I hold them all accountable. I hold my foolish companion responsible. I hold my father and all my pack members accountable for their animosity towards me.
“I empathise with your distress, Jessica, but it is imperative that you remain composed. While I do not condone his actions, I refrain from labelling him as malevolent, as he has obligations inherent to his role as king. He asserts, ‘Werewolf kings are known to desire a formidable female as their queen.’ He ought to have afforded you an opportunity rather than selecting another female in your stead.
Despite being aware of the transgressions committed against me, he continues to advocate for that individual. I am overwhelmed with jealousy. Any woman who becomes Jimmy’s partner will be exceedingly fortunate. He is truly exceptional.
