But to my dismay, it wasn't me standing beside him—it was Daisy, my closest confidant.I watched in disbelief as they exchanged vows, their voices echoing through the empty halls.

I could hardly contain my anticipation, but a nagging fear crept in, making me wonder if I could endure the wait any longer. The burning desire to discover my destined mate consumed me."Mom, did you hear that?" I asked, jolting awake as the whinnies of the horses pulling Full-moon's cart echoed through the house.Sky-pearl, my mother, stirred beside me. "Yes, it sounds like your father is back," she replied, her voice filled with sleepy confusion.We hurriedly stumbled out of bed and made our way to the front door, desperate to see Full-moon, my lumberjack father, after his long day of selling orisier wood in the neighboring villages."I'll put the horses in the stable," Full-moon grumbled, his face etched with a perpetual scowl, as he walked past us.I couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment.

Chapter 4As I sat on the public bench, my stomach growled loudly. I looked around at the mouthwatering food stalls nearby, my eyes drawn to the tantalizing aromas. With hopeful anticipation, I approached the first food vendor and asked, "Excuse me, sir. Do you have anything to eat?"The vendor gave me a disdainful look and replied, "Sorry, kid. We're all sold out for today. Maybe try your luck somewhere else."Feeling a pang of disappointment, I moved on to the next vendor. "Hello, ma'am. Could I please have something to eat? I'm really hungry."But she simply shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, but we're closing up.

The woman looked at me with a grateful s
Chapter 6:I was abruptly awakened by a loud knock on my bedroom door. Groggily, I stumbled out of bed, feeling disoriented and unsure of where I was. The events of the past few days seemed to jumble up in my mind, making it difficult to grasp reality. A sharp pang of pain shot through me as I remembered my parents, but before I could fully process my emotions, I heard the butler's voice, demanding to be let in." Miss, open the door at once !" In a rush, I hurried towards the door, my heart pounding with anxiety. I flung it open, revealing James standing there with a disappointed expression on his face.
