"Maybe I should go after him...see what I have done to affend him?" Cleo continues to chew at her fingernails, she had been a nervous wreck since Jace stormed out, Josie following him.

"I keep telling you Cleo, you haven't done anything wrong. It's his problem, not yours. Just leave him to sulk." Jaxon shrugs out as he sips back on a fresh bottle of beer. He didn't seem keen to check on Jace's mental state, unlike Josie.

"I think Josie went after him, in fact they should be back by now." I cast my eyes over the celebrations to the exit, she had been a while and I can sense that she isn't close to me.

She was worried about Jace and she had reason to be, that was completely out of character of him. Especially to take it out on an innocent 17 year old female. Not just any female, a close family friend.

Jaxon..sure, he flies off at anything, but Jace...no he was the calmer one.

Well he used to be, goddess knows what the fuck is going on with him at the moment.

"But I..." Cleo sighs out, her eyes scanning to the exit also. It was clear to see how concerned she was, and Jaxon's blasé attitude towards the situation wasn't doing any good for her growing anxiety.

"Cleo, listen to me. Don't go after him, just leave him be. I'll have a word with him in the morning. He's drunk and grumpy, not even I can be bothered with that right now." He adopts a more gentler approach, his hand landing on her shoulder in a comforting move.

"Promise me you will leave it alone?" He gently requests, her head already nodding in agreement. Whether she wants to or not.

"I promise I'll..." Cleo's eyes take on that glazed look, which is all too familiar amongst us werewolves, as she cuts herself off.

She gasps, gaining mine and Jaxon's attention again, her face paling as he remains in the mind-link.
