Jaguar:
I noticed the look Theodore gave me.
I guess it was the conviction in my voice that made him realize I was finally over her.
There was a time when Aster meant a lot to me.
She was my first girlfriend.
After that, we broke up more times than I could count.
We always found our way back to each other, but looking back, I think we only did it because she reminded me of our school days.
We had studied in the same class, dealt with the same academic pressure, and grown used to having each other around.
She felt familiar.
Until she didn’t.
Eventually, it reached the point where I just didn’t feel that connection anymore.
So I ended things with her.
It didn’t end well.
She started blowing up my phone, threatening me with all kinds of things.
She said she’d show up at the mansion, beg me to take her back, and even get Ragnar involved because, according to her, it was unacceptable that I was leaving her again.
I honestly didn’t know what to do.
So I spoke to Gigi about it.
She told me I had made the right decision.
The moment she gave me her approval, I decided I wasn’t going to entertain Aster’s pleas anymore.
So I had blocked her completely.
That explained why she had started blowing up not only Theodore’s phone, but probably Ragnar’s as well.
Ragnar already knew, or at least suspected, that I had a soft spot for Verity.
I was just waiting for the day he brought it up again.
I wanted to know whether he approved.
I’d reached a point where I didn’t think I’d take it lightly if anyone told me to stay away from Verity.
It would be impossible.
After Theodore and I finished our meal, we headed back to our rooms.
The same two women followed us.
They stepped into the elevator beside us, giggling and stealing glances our way.
Neither Theodore nor I paid them any attention.
For me, it was simple.
There was someone waiting for me at home.
As for Theodore, I figured he was finally over the phase of sleeping around.
Watching Ragnar find someone had probably made him realize it was time to find his own mate.
Ragnar had been lucky enough to have Gigi.
Theodore and I were still single, with no idea where we’d find our mates.
So why not find someone and make her our chosen mate instead?
We ignored the women completely.
Their giggles gradually died away, replaced with disappointed expressions.
When the elevator doors opened, we stepped out without another glance and headed straight to our rooms.
The night passed peacefully.
Neither of us did anything else.
We simply went to bed.
I wanted to get home early.
I needed to talk to Verity.
Jaguar and I woke up early.
It was almost as if we were both in a hurry to get home.
Sometimes I wondered if there was something going on between Theodore and Jenna.
Jenna always looked at him with those googly eyes, and every now and then, Theodore would return a small smile.
Jenna was a good woman, so I wouldn’t mind if my brother wanted to pursue something with her.
