Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and now it's the day Alpha Derrick and Mona will officially get engaged.
I've locked myself in my room during this time. The only person who checked on me was Sir Jethro. I haven't seen anyone else in the last two days, probably because everyone's busy with preparations for the engagement. Luna Catherine's been too occupied to pick a fight with me, which was a relief.
At eight in the morning, I could already hear voices coming from the living room. The laughter and chatter were loud, signaling the gathering had begun. My stomach churned. The day I dreaded most was here, and I couldn't shake off the unease building inside me.
For a fleeting moment, the thought of running away crossed my mind. Could I escape? But I pushed it away. No, I couldn't just leave like that. Still, my nerves wouldn't settle.
