Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 81

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

"Where are you, Jace? Why are you calling with an unknown number? Are you safe?" The questions flew out of my lips in quick succession, nerves knotted tight and painful. I had no idea where my brother was.

He might be in danger, who knew? Oh Mother of the Moon, please protect Jace and bring him safely back to me. I could not afford to lose him, not now, not ever. I was ready to apologize and make amends, he was my brother.

"I don't know." His breath was labored and he sounded like he was in pain.

The phone was on loudspeaker, I threw it on the bed and rushed to get my car keys while talking into the phone. "I'm coming to get you, tell me where you are." "Okay, thank you. But first, arrest Melisse." He was panting. Was he running? Limping? Oh goodness! Jace was in danger, fear overwhelmed me.

I could not concentrate on the name he just mentioned, my brain did not capture it properly at first but then again, he was my priority at this point. Getting to him was my priority.

"Where are you, Jace?!" I screamed in panic. Kat was sick with worry, she looked like she might keel over any moment, Paula held her comfortingly.

"I-I... I don't know where I am." He was definitely running, but it was as though he had a limp. Was he injured?

"On the device's location, I'll use it to locate you." I told him.

"I can't.." He paused. “I can't. They'll get me. I managed to escape."

Someone should hold me else I might lose consciousness. "Who are they, Jace? Please tell me where you are." Tears ran down my eyes.
