*****Jace's POV*****
I walked downstairs with Kat and found Erika seated by the wine bar in the living room. Seeing me all dressed up and ready to leave, she narrowed her eyes and jumped down from the stool she was seated on.
“Where are you off to, Mr?” She asked, standing before me with a raised brow and her hands on her waist.
I ran a hand through my hair and smiled. “To the hospital.”
“Why do you need to go there? We can just have the doctor come over.” she suggested, clearly not wanting me to leave the house. But I needed to see Fagel. I needed to discuss things with him, I had a feeling that he had something good to tell me.
But I just can't tell Erika all of these.
“I don't want the doctor coming over like I'm some kind of Alpha King….”
“You're I and father's Alpha King, is that enough?” She asked and placed her hand on my shoulder. “I'm sorry for being this way, but I can't have anything happening to you again.”
“Nothing will happen, I understand that you might be worried.” I replied and she sighed.
“How long will you take?”
“About two hours.”
“Two hours?!” She yelled and turned to look into my eyes. I smiled and cocked my head to the side. “Why? You can't live without me? Erika remember that I'm not your mate but your brother.” I said with a chuckle and she playfully nudged me.
“I know that, Silly. Now get lost from here before you think I plan on marrying you too, Gross.”
“Gross.” I chanted after her, scrunching my face up in disgust, and Kat laughed at our childish attitude.
I breathed out a sigh of relief once I got into the awaiting car. Again, Erika insisted I take two guards along.
They drove me away from the packhouse and straight to the infirmary. Since Fagel had healed up, it was time to tell me what he might know.
The ride to the hospital took about ten minutes because the driver drove carefully and steadily.
I got down the moment they pulled up in the driveway and pulled the car door open for me.
I made my way into the huge building and directly to the doctor's office.
For some reason, I had this feeling that I was being followed, but each time I turned to check, there's literally no one behind me.
I just hoped it wasn't one of those anonymous organizations again.
I walked into the office to see the doctor focused on something before him, looking confused as hell.
“Your Highness, you're here.” He said the moment he saw me walk in. I smiled, extending a hand for a handshake.
“Hello Doc, how are you?” I replied, taking a seat as well.
“I'm Alright, it's good to see you looking sound and healthy.”
“Well, I wouldn't say healthy, but thanks to the goddess.” He chuckled at my words and gave a nod.
“I'm here to see Fagel, could you please take me to him?” I asked, going straight to the point and not beating around the bush.
He nodded and stood up.
