Anders went to 'Bo Liv' to solve the issues between 'Silver Beiste' and 'Ray Black'. There he must stay for a week. It was his third day in 'Bo Liv' when he smelled the sweet scent of roses and lilies during the visit to the 'Red Lupe' pack, and he followed the scent was coming from a red-haired young lady who was busy talking with another lady.
Anders approached her, she moved back in surprise at the same time he grabbed her by the arm and said "Mate" After a moment she said "Mate" too. The lady who was with Berit left at once when Anders tells her mate "I'm happy to finally meet you, my love" and she responds, "I'm kind of nervous but very happy too at the same time."
The two of them spend time together when they were speaking Anders said "Berit, I will keep coming to see you as long as I am here, but I must go back to the royal palace to report the matter of the 'Silver Beiste' and 'Ray Black' to the Alpha king and perform my royal duties there.
Berit asked in concern "Anders, when will we meet again after you leave?" Anders replied with a smile "We will meet again very soon, my love until then I will take permission from the Alpha king for our marriage, so I will be with you, forever."
Berit was so happy that he finally met her mate, and she shared her happiness with everyone close to her. The next day, when she met Asis, she excitedly hugged her, and Asis wondered what had happened, so she asked Berit, "Are you all right?"
Berit told her, "Asis, you are my lucky charm when I met you yesterday after that I interacted with someone special who is my soulmate." Asis said, "Surely, he is special as he has you as his soulmate, I want he does value you the way you value him, and I sincerely wish you to be happy and keep smiling like you are smiling right now."
Berit said emotionally "I have never heard something sincerely interesting and sweeter like this, thank you so much, Asis" Then Asis replied, "Thank you, I like your appreciation."
Berit asked her, "Do you believe in soulmates and fate, Asis?" and she replied, "No, I don't believe either of them." She asked in surprise," Why?" and Asis answered that "Berit, both of them can't be changed according to everyone, and I don't believe in this thing, I believe in writing my destiny."
Berit said: "I think you mean it as you say it, and there is no doubt about it." Asis told her," Yeah, the aim of what you help with this." After chatting, both went.
Asis was revisiting 'Bo Liv' on her own, and she went to the places where she used to visit in her childhood there, she met Nona Abelona who asked Asis to show her hand and Asis could not refuse her as she asked very sweetly, and she looked a little like her nano.
Nona Abelona is a spiritual sweet old lady who knows as a palmist who used to tell the future of people by looking at their hands and then she tells Asis "You're coming here is not a coincidence, rather it is written by fate, which has happened for you to introduce someone to you."
Asis spoke in disbelief, "Nona, I already told you that I didn't believe in this, and looking at my hand will not change my decision."
Nona Abelona said, "Asis, your opinion will be changed with time when you start seeing amazing things with your own eyes, you will believe but it takes some time, and you will discover your light."
Asis said sadly," Hope is light, but when it breaks completely, all the light within turns into darkness, and it becomes impossible to change the darkness back into the light."
Nona responded empathically to her," Dear, the pain and discomfort can become unbearable with the pressure if you cannot control it properly, and the way to get rid of it is to move on." She replied, "I wish it were as easy as you said i would bet, but it isn't, but thanks for your sympathetic words."
Asis does not want to talk about it because it reminds her of Nano's death, so she said politely, "Now it's time for me to go." Nona Abelona knows she is in distress, so when she was leaving, she said, "Things are tough for now, but will turn good for you very soon." Asis thought, "Unfortunately, that is impossible in my case."

"Sometimes life turns out to be unpredictable then it becomes difficult to be happy. It happens when I lost my Nano, who raised me because my parents did not have time for me, and they left me with my grandmother (Nano)."
Asis thought about lying on her bed at Sinha Haveily. "I have come here, but I am not getting the happiness that I used to get here in my childhood. It's difficult, but I'm trying." Then she checks her clock. "It's time for my daily walk at 4 am, and walking is one of the things that helps me clear my mind."
Asis got ready for her walk, and she went to the woods of her Haveily that connect with their backyard garden. After walking and running for an hour, she sat on the bench near the banks of the lake. She had been sitting for a while when a girl came and sat beside her. Asis did not react, then Berit introduced herself to her, "Hi, I'm Berit, what's your name"?
Asis thought, "This girl is sweet, and I should also introduce myself to her." Then she awkwardly said "Hi, I'm Asis" and the two of them talked with each other like lost friends that met each other after a long time.
Asis was happy to meet a lovely friend like Berit and then she went back to her Haveily, she did her yoga and got ready then went for breakfast to the dining room.
Everyone had come to the dining table, and she also took her seat and start eating her breakfast when her pa asked her "Asis, have you considered joining the office yet?" Before she said something her ma responded.
Asis knows she does not have to worry about answering this question because the question has started with her career choice but will end on another matter and no one will recall how the conversation started.
Everybody went to their work, and Asis went to meet her Dadi (paternal grandmother) in her room. Her Dadi was reading a book when Asis asked her, "Dadi, can I come in?" Then her Dadi looks at her with a smile and said, "Come in, Chandra (Moon), you don't need any kind of permission to meet your Dadi and come here."
Asis said, "I was a little hesitant to meet you after a long time because last time, I saw you at Nano's funeral." Asis came close to her and rested her head on her Dadi's lap, and her Dadi patted her head and said: "I know it's hard for you after Maya's death, but that's how life works, and we should accept this cycle of nature."
Asis said, "Dado, why are all of us helpless in front of it?" and her Dadi answered, "Chandra, when we do not want to accept the truth, then we create a bubble where we try to convince ourselves that we feel helpless in front of nature's law. Life and death are the rules of nature ever since life was created, but we did not want to accept it."
Asis asks her, "It's hard to convince yourself sometimes because many times you try hard to move forward and don't give up, but it becomes more difficult every time you try." Her Dadi replied calmly, "Chandra, you need to acknowledge your pain and have to accept the feelings of grief after this loss, but don't isolate yourself from it, and don't blame yourself for it." Asis responds, "Thanks for your guidance, I will try this." Afterward, Asis went to her room to work on her designs for a new construction project.
The next day, she met Berit, who told her about meeting someone special. Asis thought during that conversation. "I'm happy for Berit that she found someone she has been waiting for quite a long time."
Asis's thoughts when Berit asked about soulmate and fate "I don't believe anything that isn't in my control" She said to Berit "No, I don't believe either of them." So, she asked in surprise" Why?" and Asis answered that "Berit, both of them can't be changed according to everyone and I don't believe in this thing, I believe in writing my destiny."
Asis met Nona Abelona later that day after listening to her future saying and the discussion reminds her of hurtful memories, she does not want to talk about this.
Asis thought about dinner "I hope they understand my decision of not telling them earlier about my work and I don't know if they will be able to understand now if I tell them."
Asis told them "I want to tell you all that I am working on a new project, but I didn't tell you earlier because I thought you will not understand my passion for Architecture, but yesterday after listening to your conversation about my career at breakfast, I felt I should tell you now."
Kian Avi said, "Asis, I am very happy for you, and you don't have to worry about our opinions, just follow your dreams." Afterward, Mahika said, "Bittu, your father is right, and I am glad you are doing what you love."
Asis said warmly "Thank you for understanding me; it means a lot to me." Her brother replied, "Asis, I am so happy you are here, and we all are spending time together again like old days, Congratulation on your success." Then, Asis said, "Thank you, bhaiya (Big brother)."

Berit was taking a break from her training and going to sit in her favorite spot when she saw a girl already sitting there. "Fascinating, I rarely saw any humans at this time."
Berit then sat next to her and thought, "It is strange I never felt this kind of sure and urge to talk to a human before her." After talking to her, Berit thought, "Asis is different from others of her kind because, surprisingly, my wolf Riya respects her like a sister, and there is a connection of friendship created between us."
That following day, Berit met her mate and was incredibly happy. She thought, "I can't believe my mate is a Royal Beta, and my wait is finally over."
The next day, Berit thought before sharing this information with Asis, "I should tell her all this because she came into my life as a lucky charm, and I found my mate just after I met her." Her wolf, Riya, also agrees with her: "Berit, you're right, she is an excellent friend and we both know that's why we trust her."
