Chapter 14

*****Erika's POV*****

"We're here." Jace announced as the huge gate was pulled opened to reveal the biggest pack in all of Fangoria.

Let me introduce my pack again.

The Ironclaw Pack situated on the East side of the city but we were the strongest and largest in all four regions.

Alex's pack was the third strongest and biggest but they were on the South side.

"Please is there a way you can drive round the back?" I requested.

Jace glanced lazily at me and asked, "why?" He wasn't stopping.

"I'm not in the mood to see anyone right now" I told him. It was the truth, I wanted to be left alone.

Today had just been one of the most eventful days of my life and that was saying something.

"And if father asks about you?" He asked lazily again and drove around to the back.

"You can tell him I got tired and decided to take a quick nap. I'll see him later."

Jace chuckled slightly, "You know Father, he won't agree to that." "Please just find a way to convince him, I,really wish to be left alone." "Not even your best friends?"

He suddenly asked and I paused, but after the brief pause, I still shook my head.

"No one for now, Jace. Please stop there" I said and gestured towards the back door entrance.

He sighed. "Alright then, but whatever is bothering you won't solve the case if you remain in seclusion. You'll have to see and talk to the people that care about you sooner or later."

"Mhm, I know. And I'll prefer it to be later as you said. I need to get myself back to my composed self."

"You're usually composed, Erika. I don't understand why you think staying indoors, and not talking to anyone, alienating yourself will do you any good." He said again, his brow creasing in confusion.

"It might not be the best solution for me but it is the only solution I want to engage in for now. Just stop asking"

He said nothing more.
