The night before Mignon enters the claiming territory, we all sit around in our living space. I decided to make some popcorn and try to bring a festiveness to the event. I could tell that now that it had become a reality, the girls were starting to get nervous, especially Mignon.

So, we put on our pajamas and sat around eating popcorn until late into the night. While 1 didn’t think Mignon would sleep, I didn’t want to keep her up unnecessarily. She needed to be awake enough to check out the territory tomorrow.

The next morning, I can see that someone helped Mignon choose her attire. It’s perfect for running through rocky, forest-like terrain. Since none of us knows what to expect, it’s better to be prepared for running through undergrowth that could cut you or trip you up.

“Should I have an outfit like that?” Layan asks, looking at Mignon’s clothing before we leave.

Hana and I look at her. “I would say yes.

What do you have for your claiming?” Hana asks her.

Her eyes are wide and look terrified. “A dress.”

Hana and I look at each other. “We have some time to figure something else out.”

When we arrive at the main house, the energy and tension in the air is palpable. Mignon, Layan and Annabel all move closer to me and Hana. As ranked members, it is natural for omegas to seek our protection when they are frightened.
