The night was alive with the hum of celebration, and Jessica felt her heart race with excitement. Selene's birthday party had finally arrived, and it was her chance, her moment to shine. For far too long, Selene had stolen the attention of the Quads, but tonight, it would be different. Tonight, it was Jessica's turn.

With her eyes gleaming with determination, she watched from afar as Ronan chatted amicably with other guests. He wore a friendly smile, the kind he often shared with everyone. But Jessica knew, deep down, that tonight he would see her differently.

As she approached, her steps filled with calculated grace, Ronan turned his attention to her. "Hey, Jessica," he greeted with warmth.

"Ronan!" Jessica's voice was a mixture of surprise and delight, though she had planned this encounter meticulously. "I didn't expect to see you here."

Ronan's eyes flickered with a hint of confusion. "Why wouldn't I be here? It's Selene's birthday, after all."

Jessica leaned closer, her lips curving into a playful smile. "True, but sometimes, we need a break from the usual crowd, don't you think?"

Ronan chuckled, seemingly at ease. "I suppose you're right. A change of scenery can be refreshing."

With each passing moment, Jessica seized opportunities to interact with him. She laughed at his jokes, shared stories, and even convinced him to accompany her to the refreshment table.

Internally, Jessica's thoughts were a whirlwind of anticipation and desire. This was it, her chance to show Ronan that he didn't need Selene when she was right here, offering him her undivided attention.

As they stood together, sipping from their cups, Jessica ventured into flirtatious territory. "You know, Ronan, we don't spend enough time together. It's like fate is keeping us apart."

Ronan glanced at her, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Fate, huh? Well, maybe fate has its reasons."

Jessica's heart skipped a beat. Could this be a sign that he was finally noticing her in a different light? She leaned in closer, allowing her breath to tickle his ear as she whispered, "Maybe fate has something special in store for us tonight."

Ronan pulled away slightly, his expression thoughtful. "Jessica, you're a wonderful friend, but we've been through this before. I value what we have."

Her smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered. "Of course, Ronan. I cherish our friendship too."

Yet, deep inside, Jessica couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration. She had hoped for a more passionate response, for Ronan to finally succumb to her charms. She knew she had to keep trying, keep pulling him away from Selene. Her plan to become the Quads' chosen mate depended on it.

As the night wore on, Jessica continued to hover around Ronan, subtly dragging him away from Selene whenever she could. Each time she glanced back at Selene, she couldn't deny the satisfaction she felt. Ronan's attention was hers, even if it wasn't exactly as she had hoped.

But beneath her confident facade, Jessica's inner thoughts were anything but calm. She wondered if Ronan would ever truly fall for her, or if her manipulative tactics would be in vain. As she wove her web of desire around him, she couldn't help but question if the unspoken desires of her heart would ever be reciprocated.
