Hey , Jake .

I said , giving him a small smile .

What can I do for you ? Im not here on official business , beautiful .

Is something wrong ? I asked as I stood up and approached him .

He looked up at me and furrowed his eyebrows .

Why havent I found my mate yet , beautiful ? he mumbled as he took my hand in his .

I sat down next to him and took a deep breath .

This was a question that had bugged him for a while now .

He was scared that she died .

He was sure that he would never find her .

On the other hand , he didnt want to take a chosen mate .

He didnt want to look at other girls .

I admired it , but I was also worried about him .

I didnt want him to spend his life alone .

He was a great guy , and he deserved the best .

It saddened me that the Goddess hadnt given him a mate yet .

I dont know , Jake .

I said softly .

I wish that I could tell you that you will find her soon , but I dont know that .

I want you to be happy .

I really do .

Jake kept his eyes on my hand in his .

He played with my fingers absentmindedly .
