In the calm light of morning, as the sun's rays began to cascade through the windows of her dorm room, Selene felt an undeniable urgency to seek guidance. The tumultuous emotions that had visited her in the night clung to her like a heavy shroud, and she needed answers, or at the very least, someone to confide in. The pale gold of the sunlight painted the room in a tranquil glow, creating a serene backdrop for the conversation she was about to have.

With resolute determination, she picked up her phone, her fingers dancing over the familiar digits as she dialed Daphne's number. Each ring felt like an eternity, each passing second heightened her anticipation. Then, at last, Daphne's melodic voice answered the call, filling the line with a sense of safety and understanding. "Hello, Sophia."

The relief that surged through Selene was palpable. Daphne had a way of putting her at ease with just a word, and in this moment, it was exactly what she needed. Her voice quivered slightly as she began to recount the harrowing events of the previous night.

"Daphne," Selene's voice held a raw, vulnerable edge, "I need to talk to you. Something happened last night, and I can't make sense of it."

Daphne's tone shifted to one of genuine concern, a testament to the depth of the bond that had developed between them. "Of course, Selene. What happened?"

As Selene spilled out her story, the vivid descriptions of the intense pain that had gripped her heart and the feelings of betrayal, Daphne listened attentively. It was as if the distance between them had melted away, replaced by the warmth of a confidante's presence.

When Selene had finished her narrative, Daphne responded, her voice a soothing river of wisdom and compassion. "Selene, what you experienced sounds incredibly intense. It's possible that you sensed a betrayal within your own mate bond. The emotions between fated mates can be overwhelming, and it's not uncommon for these connections to bring about strong reactions, even before they are fully realized."

Selene's heart swayed like a fragile leaf caught in a gentle breeze. Daphne's words offered both comfort and an unsettling realization. "I had no idea it could be this powerful. But I don't even know if I have a mate bond yet. I'm not yet 18."

Daphne's response was gentle, her assurance unwavering. "Age is not always the sole determinant of when these connections can form, especially for those with unique gifts, like you. Selene, trust in the Moon Goddess's plan. Your destiny will become clear in time."

A profound sense of gratitude washed over Selene. Daphne's wisdom had a profound way of calming her racing heart and soothing her frazzled thoughts. "Thank you, Daphne. I just needed to share this with someone who understands."

Daphne's kindness and wisdom continued to flow through the conversation, a source of strength for Selene. "You're not alone in this journey, Selene. Remember, the path to understanding can be as transformative as the destination. You have the strength to navigate this."

As the call concluded, Selene gently placed her phone beside her, her thoughts entwining with the profound reassurance Daphne's words had woven. It was as if a comforting quilt had been draped over the tumultuous storm of emotions that had raged within her during the night.

In the soft morning light filtering through the window, Selene felt a spark of determination. Daphne's insights had lent her a fresh perspective on the enigmatic world of the supernatural. While her heart might still bear the weight of uncertainty, her spirit was buoyed by the knowledge that she wasn't navigating this intricate journey alone.

With that newfound strength, she resolved to continue her quest for understanding, trusting that, in time, the intricate patterns of fate and destiny would become clear. The path she walked was one untraveled, filled with mystery, but with the wisdom and support of friends and family like Daphne, she had no doubt that she would find her way through the shadows to the light.
