NINA HAYES'S POV “You look stunning tonight.”Jace smiled at the door. He stretched the hand behind him forward. “I brought you this.”“What are those?”“I thought you'd like them.” A little red velvet box sat comfortably in his palm, when he opened them, inside sat a little diamond necklace.It was a slim piece, delicate looking, reflective off the hallway lights.“Oh my goodness.” I gasped. “You didn't have to.”“I did and I want you to know I will do more if you're mine.”Without another word, he took the necklace out of the box, crowded to my back, with a gentle push, he lifted the hair off my back and then slipped the necklace down.The piece felt cold on my bare skin, foreign but I adjusted soon.A few feets from me sat a mirror, when he finished, I went straight for it.“Wow.” I gasped. “This is so beautiful.” I twirled about, swaying from side to side as my eyes watched my neck. “Thank you so much.”“You're welcome. I'm glad you like it.”He came from behind. “It looks beauti

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

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

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
