Chapter 3

Every time I admire the indestructible and solid coupling, I feel a thrill in my chest that threatens to give me a heart attack; I am not going to deny it. I wanted to find my mate and have what my parents had, but I had been looking for him for so long that I had simply given up hope.

Good things come slowly, don’t they? I’m trying to be positive.

I had spent so many Christmases feeling empty inside me, cold and lonely. I had always had the company of family, but I longed to find my mate and make my own home.

I wished to wake up hugging someone who simply could not leave me and not only that, but who would also love me and be there for me no matter what.

I wanted to have my equipment.

Fuck! I would even do all those cheesy things that humans did; I would go on a date with my mate if it made her love me and never want to leave me.
