Theodore:
When I went back to Gigi, Jaguar was already there.
For a second, I thought maybe she’d told him.
The way she was sobbing in his arms made me wonder.
And I don’t know why, but when I saw Jaguar hugging her, for the first time ever, it suddenly felt a little too intimate.
But then I had to force those thoughts out of my mind.
That one incident had completely dirtied my mind. Now I was looking at everything the wrong way.
When she grabbed my hand, I felt a little relieved because I realized she wasn’t angry with me.
No, she had her own troubles.
That was how naive she was. Within seconds, she could forget about the disaster we’d had only a few hours ago.
Well, to be completely honest, she wasn’t wrong.
Ragnar really hadn’t told anyone.
He was an Alpha King. There was no way he hadn’t felt the mate bond.
So when the doctor said that he must have felt it, Ragnar should have come forward and made it clear who the bond was with, where it had happened, and what his intentions were.
Instead, knowing Ragnar, he’d simply kept everything to himself.
I felt bad for Gigi.
After comforting her, we told her that if she didn’t want Ragnar to think she was the one suspecting him, then she shouldn’t be the one to confront him about it.
As his brothers, we could do that.
We could fight and argue, and by the end of the day, we’d still sit together and have a drink.
That was how close we were.
The biggest shock came the moment we got home, when Verity bumped into my brother Jaguar.
And the very first thing she said was that Ragnar had been chasing her.
There was no fear or anger in her voice. If anything, she sounded playful.
And guess where she’d been coming from at that odd hour of the night?
Ragnar’s bedroom.
After she walked away, we headed toward Ragnar’s room too.
"You know, when I was leaving, she was outside her room. I told her I was going to Gigi’s place and that you were already there too," Jaguar stated casually.
But the hair on the back of my neck stood up.
So she knew we weren’t going to come home all night, and maybe that was why she was with Ragnar?
I immediately shut down that thought as we reached Ragnar’s door.
I knocked first.
"Well, come inside."
Ragnar’s voice came from inside, sounding a little exhausted.
As soon as we opened the door, Jaguar and I exchanged a glance.
Ragnar was getting dressed, pulling his shirt back on.
"Oh, you two are home?" he asked, sounding more confused than anything.
"Yeah—." I tried to speak, but the words tangled in my mouth.
I glanced at Jaguar again, and it seemed like he’d noticed it too.
"Yeah, we just wanted to let you know we’re home and say goodnight," I said, giving Ragnar a smile.
I’d heard he’d been asking about me.
