Helanie:
Seeing Emmet again stirred up some emotions in me, and seeing him with Azura specifically stirred up many. But I kept my calm, because in the back of my mind, I kept reminding myself, 'now my other mates have mates too.' I'll get to see all of them with others, so I need to adapt to it.
Charlotte had left for her room after Maximus told her he didn't want to accept her. I guess she had briefly left the mansion and then gone back to her room, and she hadn't come out since.
Meanwhile, I checked on everyone, going from table to table to make sure they were doing fine, that they had food, and now, I was at Jessica's table. I already knew she had felt a mate bond with Norman, but she looked so lost, sitting there in silence with her father.
"Did you guys have food?" I asked the two, trying to hold a smile on my lips to seem welcoming.
"Yeah," Jessica said in the softest tone, but her father snapped.
"Of course she had. She can stomach food even after killing her brother."
