Chapter 10 | I'm Ready

Lux

I don’t know what came over me that would make me bold enough to straddle Silas.

Oh yeah, my aggressive wolf.

While I waited for Silas to respond, I yell to her in my head, "What are you doing? Why?! He’s not our mate and he’s my best friend! This will ruin everything."

She huffs, "I’m drawn to him and his wolf. Let us have just one day, Lux. Tomorrow, both of us may meet our mates."

"And if we don’t?"

"... Then maybe we’re meant to be mated to one another."

I’m surprised by her statement. I’m surprised she wasn’t appalled at the thought of just being physical with Silas. From what I’ve understood about mates, and everything is that the wolf side of you shouldn’t be attracted to anyone except your mate.

But here she is, attracted to Silas, and I can’t help but wonder, what does this mean?

I suddenly feel self-conscious because Silas still hasn’t answered me, and his lips are so close to mine. As I feel his breath on my face, I feel desperate to close in the gap between us.
