Yearning and Hunger

Inside her office, Marceline was leaning her back on her chair. Her eyes were closed as she was trying to rest. She got tired from finishing all the paperwork. The work had piled up for the past few weeks.

But her work was the best diversion to forget about her worries regarding Kira and Serena. And now that she had nothing to do, her mind began thinking about those two once more.

"Sigh. Why do I keep thinking about them? So what? If Kira doesn't love me then be it. I can find another…" Marceline couldn't complete her words as Stella butted in.

'You can't. Kira is your mate… our mate. You should fight for him. Win his heart. Don't let other women take him. He is yours to begin with.'

"No Stella… we can't own someone. He has the freedom to choose whom he will love. No one should dictate to him whom he should love and not love. Furthermore, he doesn't believe in mate bonds. That's what I heard from her," Marceline explained to Stella.
