CARLY WOODS POVIt was the early hours of the next day when Jace returned to do goddess knows what.After the fight with Jace, I was tired out so I fell asleep on him.In a way, his presence had eased the anxiety, and agitation I felt when I was first cast down here. The cozy robe he draped over my shoulder was warm and comforting, and I found myself snuggling into its warmth and taking a not-so-subtle whiff of his manly essence.We settled side by side on the hard concrete floor. Jace didn't seem to mind the unkempt state of the prison floor, if anything, he was calm, way too calm.I was still pissed at him for what he did but there was a sliver of amusement in my eyes when he tried defending himself.The fight started as a benign argument that swiftly escalated into a harsh confrontation that had me breathing hard like I was in a race.The ache in those leafy eyes when I accused him of having a part in Addison's ploy almost had me pulling back but I was too irritated to stop, too st

ADDISONMy head snapped quickly to a towering male figure by the cell entrance, the movement was so quick I was afraid I had a whiplash.What could he be possibly doing down here? Don't tell me he was secretly involved with Carly.The pause amongst the girls was comical. Ophelia's left hand was in Carly's hair, her right hand was balled into a visibly tight fist in the air as she stood gaping at a furious Beta Ian. Paula's leg was hanging in the air ready to kick into Carly's back but stopped at the thundering male voice. Carly on the other side, was sitting on the floor, blood dripping on the floor, her hands extended to block out any assault from my girls.The silence dragged out for another one to three minutes, before Ian shattered the stillness with his booming Beta voice."I ask again, what is going on here?""Nothing much, we only stopped by to ask Carly here a few questions Ian, but she-" Ian cuts Ophelia off as she fumbles around for what to say. "What I need to know is what

CARLY WOODS POVThe huge mahogany door swings open, the guard leading the way steps to the side, gesturing me with his hand to advance through the open door.Silently, I took slow and steady steps inside the vast office space, my eyes quickly locating Jace who was sitting on a single chair in the sitting area of his office. He was dressed in a black suit jacket, a black shirt, and black dress shoes. The crystal face of his gold watch glitters from the light that shined on the ceiling. A frigid look graced his striking features as he sat, and leaned back on the backrest. To his right on the couch, Ian his Beta sat there, focusing his attention on the paper on the small rectangular table in front of them. He had changed from the black outfit he had worn earlier. Maybe because of the blood that had seeped into the delicate material of his dark dress shirt.Now he was in a sky blue shirt, a black pant, and black leather shoes. He took a glance at the door when he heard the door shut rig

JACE BALDWIN POVI watched as Carly walked out the door, a huge smile plastered on her face. She must be elated at the sudden turn of events.My heart fluttered at the sight of the radiant smile on her face, it made me want to smile in satisfaction, but I held back myself, opting to only watch her hop with an invisible spring attached to her heel.It was funny when she flashed Elder Lane and Wade a hundred mega-watt smile as she thanked them for seeing through the lies but I was a little disappointed when all I got was a curt nod, wrapped in an awkward smile.Elder Lane and Wade departed shortly after Carly, leaving me behind with Ian, Nate, Addison, and her friends.There was a pregnant pause as I walked around the table before comfortably sitting on my huge office swivel chair. "We're not seriously doing that stupid community service, right Jace?" Addison reasoned, her perfectly carved-out brows raising at me. The girls gave me hopeful eyes, silently begging me to not announce th

ADDISONS POVThis isn't happening.I'm stuck in a sick nightmare. That has to be the case because I refuse to believe what is going on.Jace is punishing me for that Carly girl.Somebody better wake me from this nightmare. Somebody?Ughh! I groaned mentally in anger, glaring laser darts at Jace's forehead as he stood there with a blank face addressing members of his pack.No, he was publicly humiliating me. His fiance.Why couldn't he just tell them Carly admitted to stealing the damn necklace and me being a sweetheart, decided to forgive her? Or tell them someone else slid the piece into Carly's bag and I'd assumed she took it since she was last seen in my room. Or that it fell off my neck, Carly found it and kept it to herself since she didn't know who owned it.Anything.Anything to save my face from this humiliation.The more Jace opened his mouth for words to fly out, the more I was fuming in anger. At this rate, I swear I'd combust in angry flames. Maybe I'll burn Jace and Carly
