Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 45

*****Jace's POV*****

I toyed with the locket in my hand, trying to understand what the logo meant and if it belonged to any group.

If it did, I would want to know which? That guy Erika had encountered and had a fight with was a paid killer, that was for certain.

That guy had been paid to come find Erika and end her. I had picked this black locket from his pocket. Until I understood the kind of danger she was in, I would not let her know anything.

She was not aware of this locket. I observed the wolf's head in a triangle logo. The locket was black and made with wood. The black looked polished.

I just needed to know who had sent this guy. I observed the locket in my hand again, I was yet to open it. I was hesitant to do so. Maybe I was not ready to know what I would find or maybe I wanted to be sure what that logo represented before delving into what was in it.

A knock sounded on my door and I quickly stuffed it into my drawer and locked it, putting the key in my pocket.

"Come in."

It was Fagel.

I had called him to come because I wanted to ask him a question.

He was father's personal guard and driver but on the day dad had gone out, Fagel had told Erika to my hearing that he had wanted to drive dad but he had ordered Fagel not to.

Father had gone out on his own that particular day but I had later instructed Fagel to go trail dad from a distance - he had not revealed this to Erika per my instruction.

But he said he had suddenly lost him on the highway during a little traffic. And not wanting to risk being seen, he had turned back and returned home.
