Jace holds my left hand and my gaze diverts to him. He was smiling now and I couldn't stop myself from smiling back. As I stared at him, I could feel assurance. I know Jace would never allow something bad to happen to me.“Let's go?” Jace asked me.I nodded my head and said, “I am a hundred times ready, Jace.”He chuckled and grabbed my waist. I could feel my cheeks turning a pinkish color from what he did. Jace was clingy and he didn't seem to care about the people around us.“I know you are ready, baby, and rest assured that you'll be safe in my arms. There's no enemy that can take you from my hand.”I felt comfortable with my mate's reassuring words. Jace is sincere about what he had uttered and with that, I know that our investigation will be successful. We can determine who are our enemies that killed those important people in my life.Wherever they are, I will make sure that we can find them. They must hide under the deepest hole in this place because once I find them, I will sl
The smile on my face couldn't be taken away after I heard those words from him. It feels so good knowing that the man you've loved is willing to fight for you. I am now comfortable that whatever happened in my dream would never happen in our real world because Jace is here. He will never allow anyone to take me away from him.All of us just continued walking to my uncle's territory and after a few hours of walking, we finally arrived at the place. I could feel my heart shredded in pain knowing that my uncle would never be in this place anymore. He's no longer alive and that hurt me. It seems like I couldn't step my feet to the land of my Uncle Joe. This place is my second home after I ran away from the Red Moon Pack.“Margaux?”Jace called my name, so I diverted my eyes to him. There were tears that fell to my eyes upon remembering my Uncle Joe.“I-I am fine, Jace.”Jace let out a deep breath from what I said and I know that he didn't believe me. He grabbed my body closer to him and
It felt like my stomach swirled as I saw what's inside the box. There was a finger inside of it that was filled with blood. Beside it was the knife and I was wondering who's hand is this. However, I was not able to think about the possible owner of the finger because I had released the box from my hand.Jace noticed my sudden reaction and he immediately held my hand. My teeth quivered in anger and fear. “Hey, what did you find?” Jace asked and I turned my gaze to him. I took a deep breath before telling him about what I saw.“It's… It's a hand, Jace. There was a finger in the box.” I responded and Jace immediately checked the box to know if I was telling the truth.“F*ck! This is a trap, Margaux!”I felt my legs quiver which made me sit down back on the bed.“W-Who's finger is that?” Luna asked at the back of my head, and tears streamed down my eyes. I already knew who would be the owner of the hand.It is maybe from Uncle Jace and I couldn't believe that the enemies would do this to
The next morning, all of us woke up early to start our journey back to the pack. Our companions were wondering why we were leaving that soon. But Jace told them the opposite of what we've talked about last time. He didn't want to tell any of them from what he mentioned to me last night.I will trust Jace, and I know what he's doing. It only took about two hours before we arrived. Jace immediately accompanied me back to his cabin and now we're sitting on the couch.“You should stay here, Margaux. I have something to do.” I looked at him when he mentioned that. My brows furrowed thinking about whatever he's up to.“Where are you going, Jace?” I asked him. Jace held both of my hands and tried to stare at me deeply to my eyes.“I am leaving for some important matter, baby. Don't worry because I'll come back to you before darkness.”I let out a deep breath from what Jace had told me. He doesn't want to tell me where he wanted to go.“Why can't you bring me, Jace? I want to be with you.” He
Luke did his best to calm me down. I was just crying on his chest, pouring my tears to make myself better. Jace won't be back even if I want him now. He did something very important and I couldn't do anything but wait for his comeback. When I feel better, I let go of him and wipe my tears from my eyes.“What do you want me to do, Margaux?” Luke uttered, and I let out a deep breath to calm my nerves.“Nothing, Luke, and thank you for coming on time. I don't know what might happen if you didn't come on time.” I said, and Luke smiled from that.“I was about to visit you. Jace went to the house earlier to tell me to check on you and also, mom was looking for you, Margaux.” A smile formed on my lips as he told me. I also missed my mother and I would like to check on her.“I want to go to mom, Luke. Can you accompany me?” I asked and Luke nodded his head.We walked the way to our house with Luke by my side. I still remember what just happened earlier and it won't leave my mind. It couldn't
My head turned at the door and saw Jace there. I felt my face brighten up seeing the man that I missed so much. Jace walked near us and I hugged him tightly that made him chuckle.“I missed you, Jace.”He hugged me tightly and I cried in his chest. I don't even understand myself. We were just apart from each other for just an hour and I couldn't explain how I missed him.“I missed you too, baby, but you have to know something.”I let go of him from what he had said. My heart is pounding so fast deep within my heart as I look at him.“W-What do you mean, Jace?”Jace held both of my hands and I just stared at him. I have this feeling that whatever Jace would like to tell me is significant and I can't wait to know about it.“I found the killer of your brother and uncle, Margaux. We brought him with us earlier.” Jace responded.My jaw clenched and my eyes darkened in anger. I would never expect to hear these words from him. Jace brought the killer of my brother and uncle. I can't wait to
Another laugh coming from Jack echoed through my ears. I could feel my teeth gritted from what he did, my fists clenched and my eyes darken while staring at him. He is not the Jack that I have met before. The Jack in front of me was no longer the same before.He's now become evil. He killed two important people in my life. Now he's going to pay for it.“How could you do this to me, Jack? I treated you as my friend. I owe you everything before, but not anymore and all this time, you're just the one who killed them. You're just beside us, spying on us and planning who to kill next. But not anymore because you're caught, Jack.”Hatred for Jack had filled my heart. I couldn't explain in words how I hated him now. If I couldn't control myself, I would kill the hell out of him now.“Should I repeat it again, Margaux? I killed them because I want you to feel the pain that I have felt all this time. You break me and in return, I will break you too by killing your loved ones!” He said, and tha
My hands wrapped around Jace's neck to support my shaking legs. He even wraps his hands around my waist and we both savor each other's lips. It feels so good to be kissed by the man you love and Jace will be the only man whom I am going to love even for the rest of my life. To the man who called me Lilian, he's no one and I shouldn't be afraid of him because I have an alpha king.“I love you, baby,” he whispered in my ear, which made me smile. We already parted our lips from each other.“I love you too.”Jace gave a kiss on my forehead before he took my hand. We walked back to the pack to where the others were waiting for us. They are still there and the male wolves clean the field to where I killed Jack.My family approached us and I could see in their faces how worried they were towards me.“I finally give Willow and Uncle Joe's death a justice. Jack was already dead and it was still surreal to me that all this time, the man that I have trusted most was the enemy.”As I was saying t
