No longer did I care how long it took for her to come to terms with anything or everything, I would wait a millennium for her. Who was I kidding? When it came to Kyra, I was extremely certain that I would wait an eternity for her. I have spent nearly two hundred years suffering without her. Regardless of what we have gone through in the past, I knew without a doubt my life was better with her in it.

I whisper, my lips shaking as a sly grin appears on his lips, and he leans in, making his husky whisper vibrate through my system. “See, my beloved. I didn’t wait for you for centuries. I waited for you for over two millennia.”

Isn't it so ecstatic to hear these words coming from someone special to you? "If you consider a hundred years of waiting long.... Then maybe I have been in love with you through endless time." I want to jump for joy. Do you know that feeling when you suddenly win the Lotto? "Hundred years?" I pretended to laugh. "I'm just eighteen, silly!" I felt his arms wrap around my body, I moved closer to him, until he hugged my body with one arm.

Carter blurted. I shot him a sharp look, but Snow only laughed, the sound soft and wistful. “No,” she said at last, her gaze drifting to the horizon. “I’ve lived a century, but love never found me — and I never found the time to chase it.” The silence that followed her words felt heavy, stretching between us like a veil. The rhythmic clop of hooves on dirt filled the void, echoing through the forest as shadows lengthened across the path. I didn’t know what to say — what could you possibly say to someone who had watched a hundred years pass like seasons through glass?

I say as a thought flashes in my head like a reality. "Non posso più aspettare, ho passato dieci anni solo per assicurarmi che ciò accadesse, niente mi rovinerà questo momento. [I can not wait any longer, I’ve spent ten years just to make sure this happens, nothing will ruin this moment for me.]"

I also used this time to change my visa from short-term to long-term, as I wasn’t planning to come back anytime soon. The next morning, just as I was about to board the plane, I got a phone call. “Hello, is this Ms. Aelia Lawson?” “I'm Aelia Lawson, yes.” “We’ve found a matching heart donor for you. Can you come to Sceleria as soon as possible?” I stared at the unfamiliar number, confused. “I didn’t make any appointments with any hospital overseas.” “You know Mr. Charles Lawson, right?” My expression froze. “He’s my father."

I'm 476 years old, and the war I explained happened roughly 500 years ago. I used to fantasize about the day I'd meet my mate. Meeting the one who was created for me was fascinating, and after what Mom said, I was even more excited to meet her. I know I'll cherish her and give her all her happiness. Because this years-long wait has evolved into a centuries-long hold, I know my mate will be someone deserving. I have often felt disheartened and thought that I would never find a mate, but then I remind myself that she may not have been born yet, which is why it is taking so long, and when I meet her, I know it will all be worth it.

It is a beginning shaped like an ending and I have been building toward it since a wrong elevator floor and a wolf who bowed before I saw a face and I am almost there. Almost. Four more minutes at the end of six hours. I can wait four minutes. I have waited eight years.

“I don’t know about you, but you’re already an important part of my life. I won’t listen to anything that you say because as far as I know, YOU are my mate.” I groaned and lightly hit his chest. “I don’t want a mate right now!” “Then, I’ll wait.” I looked up at him, surprised. “What?” “I’ll wait.” “You’ll have to wait for a hundred years,” I said and crossed my arms. “I don’t care. Be it a hundred, thousand, or a million years, I’m still going to wait until I can finally call you my mate.”
