"Sometimes letting go of the one you love with all your heart can be the right thing to do," he said bitterly as he let go of my hand and took a step back.
"No," my voice broke in-between as tears threatened to fall. But he simply offered a sad smile and I could see the pain in his eyes. It was heart wrenching.
"Your mate needs you, Ingrid," he sadly reminded me as he further distanced himself away but I didn't bother looking at my mate who was obviously waiting for me to come to him.
"NO, I WANT ONLY YOU!" I screamed and the atmosphere shifted drastically as he suddenly froze in place.
And seeing his reluctance, I finally said those words I have always held back until now...
"I love you and only you."

Ingrid Dolph, a lowly she-wolf happens to be in her ripe age of locating her mate. And it was during this time that the rumor about a dragon egg spread like wildfire and everyone was asked to hunt for it. Whoever finds it will have a greater share and unbelievable privileges.
Excited for the hunt, Ingrid takes part in it with the motive of finding it and bargaining for its blood and scale.
And as fate would have it, she didn't just find it but that same dragon turns out to be her mate....
But, who said it's a MUST to end up with a mate or soulmate?
Who made the rule that your life MUST be tied to a selected person when you have the choice to be with the person you truly love and choose by yourself?
Fueled and influenced by the mate pull, Ingrid's mind is clouded with her mate but initially before even meeting him, she encountered someone who she genuinely fell in love with without knowing it until it was nearly too late.....
