The young lady serving Eclipse and his colleagues was a sight to behold. Her beauty was like nothing Eclipse had ever seen before. Her aura was regal, reminding him of his late mother. Her sapphire blue eyes were like the calm ocean, and her full red lips were reminiscent of strawberries and flowers. As she approached their table, Eclipse and his companions couldn't help but stare at her in awe.

They quickly went through the menu and placed their orders, but the girl couldn't help but chuckle as she watched her customers staring at her. Her laughter shook them out of their stupor, causing them to clear their throats awkwardly. "So, do you intend to order or not?" she asked with raised eyebrows.

"I will be back in ten," she said, taking the menus and walking away. Eclipse couldn't help but purse his lips and stare in the direction the young lady walked.

As they waited for their food, Eclipse's colleagues couldn't help but comment on her beauty. "Wow, she is gorgeous," one of them exclaimed, shocked that she, a woman, was attracted to her fellow women's attractiveness.

"Indeed, she is, and her smile is quite enchanting," Zane's mate whispered under her breath. "How can a human seem so stunning while also being warm and mysterious?"

"That man would be quite fortunate," Gabriel's mate muttered, amazed by the young woman's breathtaking beauty.

Eclipse, on the other hand, was fixated on her. "She is mine," he stated in a sinister tone, startling his companions into stillness. Their jaws dropped. "In this life and the next, she can only be in my arms; no other man is permitted to have her but me," he said in a quiet but forceful tone.

Zane attempted to comprehend what Eclipse meant. "Yours, as your fated companion?" Godfrey inquired with arched brows, prompting the others to question their Alpha prince.

"Yes, my mate," Eclipse replied, attempting not to scream in delight. His pals whistled enthusiastically, grinning from ear to ear.

When the young lady returned with their lunch, Eclipse and his pals knew her colleague Troy well. They brought their lunch, which they placed on the table while her cell phone vibrated.

"Hello, I am fine," she said, as Troy returned to carry the rest of the lunch. "Listen, she has no idea where I am right now since I never informed her, and please leave me alone; your family needs you. I am not a house wrecker," the young lady replied as she approached the enormous glass window.

"Yeah, just do the right thing, bye," she replied. After hanging up, she removed her phone's SIM card and discarded it. "I do not need any irresponsible males in my life," she murmured to herself as she approached Eclipse and his pals.

"Umm, hello, do you people need anything else?" she asked, smiling. "No ma'am, thank you," Godfrey said with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, have a nice meal," she responded with a smile as she turned and walked away without looking at Eclipse, who had his fists clenched hard as he exhaled, and his companions gave him a sympathetic look.

"Why did not she look my way?" Eclipse inquired, and for the first time, they detected helplessness in his voice.

"Listen, bro, maybe you should attempt to get close to her," Zane remarked, sighing, not liking seeing his brother like that, as if the world was contradicting him.

"How would you expect me to accomplish that?" He questioned, frustrated when the young lady returned with a glass of juice.

"Umm, sir, I noticed you did not order any juice, so I brought you one," the young lady said, looking into Eclipse's eyes, and he fought back a smile as he received the glass of juice from her. After he freed her of the glass of juice, she turned on her heels, attempting to return to her office, but her hand was quickly gripped from behind, sparks flying everywhere as he turned around to face the person.
