Gigi:
A Few Hours Ago:
"The lunar eclipse is really special. Those who haven’t found their mates are going to find them in the most special way tonight," I said, smiling at everyone.
But an emptiness lingered in my heart, mostly because one person was absent from the whole evening.
Jaguar had earlier claimed that he wasn’t feeling well. He hadn’t even waited for me to arrive.
He had simply gone to his room and locked himself in.
I wanted to go and talk to him, but I guessed Ragnar wanted his brother to get some rest, so I let it be.
Still, deep down, his condition troubled me. He wasn’t well, and I had no clue what I could do to help him.
Fairy lights illuminated the garden beautifully.
Tall, round cocktail tables were scattered around the space, where people could stand, eat, and talk comfortably.
I had arranged the whole setup beneath the night sky so that we would all be there when the eclipse began.
I had heard the eclipse would last a little longer tonight.
However, many of the pack members were planning to watch it begin here before heading home to mate.
Even though no one would conceive tonight, the emotional bond created through mating was said to be unlike anything else.
I was hoping for the same thing.
I wanted to mate with Ragnar tonight on this special occasion and possibly even initiate the marking.
I could hardly wait.
He hadn’t even proposed to me properly, nor had we had a real engagement.
What happened between us a few months ago had been a very small casual proposal, and that was it.
I wanted a grand event for us.
"Excuse me," I murmured, walking over to Theodore, who was downing drink after drink.
I didn’t know what was going on with them.
The brothers all seemed really out of it, except for Ragnar.
He was in full swing, probably because I was with him.
At the same time, I had to be extremely careful about letting Jenna out, so I made sure none of the decorations were in her way.
She had to leave tonight too.
Sadly for her, she wasn’t going to mate with her actual mate.
She was going to mate with a stranger who was blackmailing her.
And to be fair, I had nothing to do with how far this had gone.
I never wanted things to take such a dark turn.
But what else could I do now? She hadn’t left me any other choice.
"Oh Theodore, you haven’t touched a single dish I asked the maids to prepare," I remarked, folding my arms across my chest.
I had picked out a beautiful short red dress for the special night.
I had also made sure not to talk about the occasion in front of Jenna or Verity.
I didn’t want either of them around.
Well, Jenna, for once, couldn’t attend for obvious reasons.
