Episode 2

Today, once again, Alexandre came to meet us at the end of class. Oh, if only he knew what I feel...

But I'm sure it's not appropriate. He has already told me that he is waiting for his destined mate by the Goddess of the Moon. Ah, Selene, please give me the chance to be that chosen one!

As soon as Alexandre arrived at the school gate, Emily rushed in front of me and jumped into his arms. I love my friend, but I don’t feel good seeing her act this way.

I told her how I felt a few days ago. She said I need to wait for my wolf to emerge, so I can know if I am the alpha’s mate. After that, she launched into a long conversation about how the last formal event ruined her beautiful hair and how she had to yell at the manicurist to be quicker with her nails.

“Hello, Julia!” – Alexandre greeted me as I got closer to the two of them. Emily was already hanging off his arms and shot me a long look of innocence. Why couldn’t I believe her?

“Hello, Alpha!” – I replied with a smile and a nod.

“Come on, Juju! You know you have the freedom to call me by my name. Emily here has understood that.”

“Of course I understood, Alezinho!”

Emily wrapped her arm around his shoulders as she responded.

I lowered my gaze, embarrassed by the situation.

“Let’s go, girls. I’ll drop you off at home before heading to my office.”

Before I could open the passenger door next to the driver, I felt Emily tugging my arm back.

“Friend, let me sit in front. You know I get car sick…”

“Alright, Emily…”

I moved to the back seat, carefully holding my bag and books. The entire journey was reduced to Emily jumping from one topic to another, cutting me off whenever I tried to give my opinion or make a comment. Alexandre was so absorbed in the conversation that he didn’t even notice my futile attempts to participate.

Alexandre dropped me off at my doorstep and continued with Emily to her house.

I felt a tremendous pain watching the two of them walk away together. But I shouldn’t do anything. I knew he would remain true to his decision to wait for his mate. In less than a month, I would turn 18 and receive my wolf, and finally know if we were destined companions or not.

I watched the car drive away, with Emily gesturing wildly. When I entered the house, my mother, Paula, was waiting for me with lunch ready.

“How was today, little one?”

“Good, nothing different…”

“Did Alexandre pick you up?”

“Yes, and now he’s taking Emily to her house…”

My mother looked at me with a smile on her face and said: “Daughter, I’ve always heard that Selene takes our feelings into account when choosing our mate! Have faith!”

I looked at my mother, trying to capture a bit of her optimism… “Selene, if you really take my feelings into account, you already know who might be my mate, right!?”
