Jace's POV

“What are you doing here?”

Aiden arched his forehead, disgust written all over his face. “What a stupid question to ask. Can't you see a snack in my hand?”

“That was rude.”

“I don't care.” Aiden snorted. He dug into his sandwich and tore off a big chunk. “Sucks to see you here, you know.”

“I don't.”

“Well, you should. I wondered what Father was up to when he allowed you to come. It's unfortunate.”

Eyes narrowed down to his feet, back to his legs. He was dressed in shorts and a grey shirt. Casual, he was dressed for a fight. “I have to get back,” my lips curved barely reaching my eyes.

“Yeah, run little bi”ch! Run like the little punk that you are.”

‘Hold yourself in,’ my wolf whispered. ‘He's not worth it.’

“Father did a great job sending you off. I wonder why you ever came back, you know… I wonder why you ever came back.” Aiden trolled behind me, chewing while he spoke.

The squeeze of his paperback screeched in my ear. It grated my nerves, boiled my insides. I stopped in m

    NINA HAYES POV “For someone who said she wants nothing serious with Jace, you sure do look worried. Are you sure you don't like him or something?”“I don't!” My voice let out more higher than I intended. Kate looked at me with uncertainty in her eyes.“Girl, take it easy, I just thought you said you wanted nothing serious with this guy. That you were healing from Aiden.”“I am!” I lowered my tone this time. I still sounded soft and gentle, but strife still lingered underneath.“I just…“You just what?”“I just want to know if he's still going to come for the date today. You know I have a great deal of assignments to handle, I wouldn't want to waste my time waiting for him and putting those assignments aside only for a ‘no-show’.”Kate wore her emotions on her face. When her forehead wrinkled, she thought I was lying.“Alright then.” She shrugged gently. “Are you going to call him?”“No.”“I don't want to seem desperate.” My voice trailed off maliciously.“You already seem desperate.”

    Jace's POV.“To look like a family, we’ll be taking the bus together. Get in.”I entered last, seated by the door where I could look outside. Where I could stay distracted.“We're set, alpha Brooks. We're ready to go.”“Leave then, will asking me stupid questions get us there any faster?”“No alpha.”“Good. Then move.” He hollered.The engine veered to life and our driver moved the bus immediately. Alpha Brooks, a man with muscles for mass and a tall build of about 6ft, a leader in his prime, war conquer, slayer of men and werewolves who went against him.A man who had never lost a war or fight, sat in the middle, Aiden to the left and I, just where I could look at the roads as we traveled.The drive out the pack began quiet, Aiden stuck his face on his phone, Father read a newspaper and then his phone, I rested my head, slid my earphones in there and closed my eyelids.The song ‘I give my all’ played in the background. Soft, gentle and calming.It helped my frayed nerves from burnin

    Jace's POVThe maids returned to clear the mess we made from breakfast, the woman who’d spoken to me was nowhere to be found.When I asked, the maids told me they knew no one like that.My eyelids fluttered with shock.“What do you mean there's no maid like that? She served me my meal.”“I served you your meal, alpha. Me.” A strange face answered. It was definitely not her.Time was running out for me, father asked Aiden and I to pack our bags, we were leaving soon. I had no time for this.“Alright then. Help me take out some snacks, I'd need them on my way.”Upstairs, I took my bags out from underneath the bed. They have been that way since I came back.Occasionally, I stuffed my hands in and took out a suit but I never rearranged anything. At the back of my mind, staying with my father wouldn't last forever.A knock on the door revealed my mother's father. She kept the warm smile she had back then.“I'm happy you're going with your father, this trip is going to give you time to bond

    NINA HAYES' POV “You're crazy, Nina Hayes! You're freaking crazy!”Jace led me back into the restaurant. He covered me with his jacket.“But no matter how crazy you are, I still love you.”Inside, the waitresses rushed with towels around me.They made a big fuss about it. I said nothing, quiet, crotched down on another seat, dripping wet and wide eye.Jace nagged about what I did. “Next time we're going on a date, I'm picking a location without a rooftop, I will not allow you get drenched again.”The storm calmed eventually and along with it went Jace's anger.“It's clear outside now.” One of the workers came to inform us. “If you wish to leave, we have an umbrella.”“Thank you.”I still hadn't spoken a word since.“Can we leave?”“Alright.”Inside his car, Jace lagged my seatbelt in. He helped fix the coat in, “Are you fine?”“Yes.” I muttered.“Good, and if you're not, tell me.”“Okay.”The engine started slowly, not the limousine, apparently, the driver left.“Where are we going?

    NINA HAYES'S POV.“I never got to tell you thank you for everything you did.”We settled back into our chairs.“Thank you.”“Don't mention. I'm willing to do anything for you. I won't stand by and let anyone hurt you. Never.”“Thank you still, with what you did to Luna and Amelia. But don't you think having them expelled is a little drastic.”Jace swung his face gently, he gave me a neutral expression. “I don't. I think that's the most lenient we could have been. I could have had them banished from the pack but I didn't. I just had them taken out of the same environment you are in. That's pretty merciful if you ask me.”“But still…”“You don't like what I did?”I did. All the while I stayed with Aiden, he cared less what happened to me. Jace was different.“But I'm just saying… expulsion is a tad too much. Maybe suspension would do.”Jace clenched his jaw. He paused for a few seconds, his eyes searched my face for answers. Finally, “Alright, when I get to the principal’s office tomorr
