But where?
I placed a hand over my heart.
In my research, I read that werewolvesâ mates were appointed by Moon Goddess and endowed with lethal attraction to each other.
It was quite plausible that my mate wouldnât be a pureblood witch or a vampire, but a werewolf.
Werewolves were an extremely rare sight in this world, almost extinct.
My gaze remained locked on the world beyond the rift.
Maybe my fated mate was there in that world.
Sensing that I was distracted, Ivy asked, âWhatâs wrong, honey?â
I snapped back to reality.
Realizing this topic was not something I wanted to dwell on, I changed the topic.
âWeâve had a long day.
Letâs get some rest.
â
Ivy took the hint and shut her mouth.
Andrewâs POV:
Not long after I had sent the butler out, he returned to my study.
He told me Debra refused to move.
I stood by the window, observing the world on the other side of the rift.
The world appeared obscure at night than during the day.
âMr.
Pierce, Iâm terribly sorry.
I couldnât fulfil the task you assigned.
I tried my best, but Debra is unwilling to relocate to the central villa.
â
I wasnât surprised to hear that.
âItâs all right.
â
I waved my hand nonchalantly.
If Debra agreed immediately, Iâd suspect her of being another vain woman without anything special.
I turned and looked at the butler.
âIf Debra wants to stay there, we must respect her wishes.
Please ensure that she is treated with the respect and care that befits the position of the deputy clan leaderâs fiancee.
Negligence will not be tolerated.
â
âYes, sir.
â
The butler nodded respectfully.
I nodded, signaling him to leave.
âIf there is nothing else to discuss, you can leave now.
â
I walked to the table and sat down.
However, the butler stood there instead.
He looked like he wanted to say something.
âWhatâs wrong?â I seldom saw my butler look conflicted before.
âSay whatever you have to say.
Youâve been working for me for years.
I believe you know me well now.
â
âALL right.
â The butler sighed in relief.
âMr.
Pierce, I canât understand why youâre so invested in a mixed-blood witch of an unknown origin.
