Chapter 56

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

I was still ruminating over the events of the meeting and could not help but get angry whenever I remembered Elder Grigshade and his very obnoxious self. Challenging me every step of the way. Who did he think he was? Some sort of a villain that would wipe me away from my own story.

He had a long thing coming for him. I was not that easy to push out of the way. No one would ever force me to leave what was my birthright. The rulership of this pack was mine and Elder Grigshade or any other like him could not stop me from ascending the throne.

"Are you okay?" Jace asked from beside me.

"I'm fine." I replied not looking at his face. I suddenly remembered Jace's statement at the meeting. "Have you ever visited Elder Grigshade in his house?"

"Yes, why do you ask?"

"What for?" I turned to fully give him my attention. Jace had never told me this. What had he gone there for? That was what I wanted to find out.

"For a business deal." He replied as though it was not a big deal.

But for me it was. It was a big deal. A very big deal. This was a man that did not like me. In fact, he hated me. He was trying to stop me from taking my birthright, so if my brother was having anything with such a man, I needed to understand what I was doing.

"What kind of business deal?" I probed further.

He looked at me. "I would show you the documents when we get home." His tone was low but cold.

"No. Tell me now." I insisted.

"What is the meaning of this, Erika?" He sounded insulted.
