*Jessy POV*
We went to cabin after cabin, even I didn't find Ares scent in any of the rooms. Claire was relieved when she also didn't find her mate, she was so ecstatic when we left the last cabin that the councilwoman thought she found her mate. Claire had to awkwardly explain that she didn't find her mate that she was just happy since she wasn't ready to find him yet. The councilwoman gave her a strange look and noted that neither of us found our mates on her clipboard.
We were escorted back to our cabin, a handful of females were balling crying that they didn't find their mate's. Other women tried comforting them while they gave occasional glares towards Claire for being happy. They quickly met my gaze and within a couple moments they no longer dared to look this direction. I was just glad that I didn't have to run in the woods for an hour as Claire ran beside me terrified.
