Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 96

*****Kat's POV*****

"Would you like some more?" I asked Jace, scooping more of the food into his plate. He shook his head, "This is fine, I don't want much." He replied and I nodded.

I accompanied him in his room to take care of him and make sure he was fine. These past few days have been the worst times for us. My motive of making him finally fall for me and marking me went crashing down because of the current issues at hand. I couldn't also deny the fact that I felt real fear the moment I had seen him running out of the south river forest with Erika. For a moment there, I thought I might lose him.

"What are you thinking about?" Jace's voice pulled me out of my train of thoughts and I flashed a smile in his direction.

"Nothing you should worry about." I replied, not about to tell him the truth of being hurt by his absence. His gaze narrowed as he watched my face that masked my pains.

"You're not ok," he pointed out, a frown making its way to his handsome face. I smiled, also biting the inside of my cheek to hold back the sob about to burst out.

Jace was sitting on the bed and leaning on the headboard, then I was sitting before him. Before I could realize what was going on, Jace reached out to pull me into his arms. For the first time ever, he initiated it without me being the total piss off.

As if on coo, my damn broke and the tears burst out like a river. I cried so much, staining his shirt in the process. Jace stayed quiet and rubbed my back soothingly, he knew just how much I was hurting. I was normally never a crybaby, but the events that transpired recently made me turn into one. The playfulness and charm I always carried was nowhere to be found.

"Shh, it's all going to be fine." He said into my hair.
