For a moment, I was really afraid that Kate would faint.

But fortunately, she only took a few deep breaths before returning to normal.

I looked at her worriedly and placed a hand on her pulse to listen to her heart rate. I asked, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine...” Kate replied weakly.

She closed her eyes and let out a long breath. Then, she opened her eyes to look at me. I could see the red blood in her eyes. Her initially bright green eyes seemed to be covered with dust.

“Just now, my wolf and I had different reactions when we heard this news. She was very dissatisfied with my departure. Although I still controlled this body, she constantly roared in my body to make me go back. This made me feel a little uncomfortable,” Kate said.

I gave her a sympathetic look, and I could understand what she said. I also had conflicts with my wolf, Mia, from time to time. More importantly, the wolf’s thoughts in our bodies were often the same as our deepest thoughts, and for various reasons, it was unpleasant to go against our true beliefs.

“So, you don’t intend to go back?” I said softly.

Kate gently shook her head and looked out of the window again. “I feel like someone is watching us. Don’t you feel it?”

“Don’t try to distract me in this way. This won’t work on me.” I sighed. “I don’t feel anything. There are only the two of us in the room.”

“Alright.” Kate shrugged. “What did you ask me?”

“Alex said he wants you back. What are you going to do?” I repeated the question, “Kate, staying away from your mate will hurt you. Look at you now. You should go find your mate, Alpha Alex.”

“Do I look bad?” Kate raised her eyebrows at me.

“I don’t mean that, but I’m just saying that Alex seems like a good person. He seems to want you very much. Why don’t you try the relationship out with him?” I advised.

“Why should I try it with him?” Kate muttered.

“He’s tall and handsome and very friendly to people. He manages the Ancient Wood Pack very well and is a capable Alpha.” I listed Alex’s strengths one by one. From all aspects, Alex was a perfect mate. I couldn’t understand why Kate was so against him.

“A tall and handsome Alpha?” Kate sneered, “Robert looked the same, but look at what he did to you. He rejected you. I don’t want to risk being rejected by my mate. I’d rather be alone or with someone who isn’t that strongly attached to me. Just like Alfred and me. Even if we have broken up, I’d only feel bad for a few days, but I wouldn’t be unable to get out forever.”

“But I’ve also gotten out of Robert’s relationship. Mate relationships bring good things to most people. You can’t use Robert and me as a reference,”I said.

“You’re so strong, but how long did it take you to get out of all this?” Kate looked at me listlessly. “Cecily, stop. I’m terrified of all of this.”

“But now is not the time for you to escape.” I grabbed Kate’s hand. “You can’t sentence Alex to death for such a reason. I think he deserves a chance to start, at least.”

“If I give him a chance, who will give me a chance?” Kate covered my hand with her other hand, “My dream has always been to enter a top laboratory after graduating from university and then do a respectable job with a good salary. I think I can have beauty, a career, and love simultaneously. Aunt Carol is doing well, but I don’t want to be like her.”

“Your career isn’t just about developing new drugs or finding a cure for a disease in the lab. You’re a werewolf. Isn’t being a pack’s Luna fulfilling? Many people can become scientists, but not many people can become a pack’s Luna,” I pointed out.

“Luna... Sounds Good.” Kate’s lips curled into a faint smile.

This was the most sincere smile I’d seen on her face in this period.

“Listen to me. You haven’t been with your mate, so you have all kinds of worries. But when you’re together, you’ll know what a great experience it is. It’s something no one can bring you,” I said as I held Kate’s hand.

“Really?” Kate looked at me and asked in confusion. “Is it that good to be with your mate?”

“Yes,” I answered with certainty. “I only truly understood what it means to love someone after I met Michael. The feeling of giving love is as good as receiving love. Every minute with him is pleasant. It is an indescribable sense of happiness and satisfaction. I would do anything for Michael now, and I’m sure he would do the same.”
