Mother-daughter talk

Author's note: This is from Serina's point of view

As the breakfast approached its end, Zoe asked me if we can have a word in private.

I felt all tingly inside as I anticipated my first serious mother-daughter talk!

Are we going to talk about contraception and family planning? Wedding plans?

Oh, no! I suck at party planning, maybe I should invite Mona. But Zoe asked me to talk in private so I will hear her out first before I suggest inviting experts.

The two of us went to the study, and before she could say anything, I gave her a big hug.

"Congratulations on your wolf and on your mate, Zoe. I am very happy for you. For both of you."

Zoe returned my hug, and I felt her relaxing on me. "Thank you, Serina. It all feels surreal."

I had to confirm a few mate-related facts. "Tell me, how did you find out that Luca is your mate? Did anything change about how you see him?"
