Chapter 79 Ceremony Day

• ~Jenna~
• I tossed and turned all night. I just couldn’t get settled, and it didn’t help that Iris was off on her tangent. She kept calling for her mate, and it was driving me crazy. She acts like I don’t want Mark. Actually, I can’t be mad at her. I did act as if he wasn’t what I wanted, but that simply isn’t true.
• I grab my phone off the nightstand and see it’s 3:15 in the morning. I know sleep will not be visiting me at all, and I wish I were back home. If I were, I would go for a run and try to tire myself out. I’m visiting a different territory, and it isn’t smart to take off for a run under those circumstances. Not only that, but if I let Iris out, I know exactly where I’d end up. I asked Mark to give me time before he asks that I accept his rejection. I just need to build my strength and be mentally prepared for the loss.
