Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 109

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

I stepped into the living room, just as I heard Noir Hart talking to Rika about Tasyra.

I walked forward, seeing he was actually here again.

Gridshade was also around and the moment he saw me, he stood up and ran up to me.

“Jace.” I smiled at him, giving him a slight bow.

“Elder Gridshade.”

I shifted my gaze from Gridshade to Erika and Noir, their eyes locked on me. "You're late, Jace!" Erika's voice rang out, and I let out a sigh, glancing at my wristwatch. It showed I was only 2 minutes past the planned 2 hours. I thought I did pretty well getting back quickly.

"It's just a couple of minutes," I pointed out.

Erika wasn't having it. "You still missed the time frame!" She retorted, rising to her feet, her frustration evident.

Erika marched over to me, standing before me with exasperation in her eyes. She reached out to check me over, making sure I was truly okay. I rolled my eyes playfully, a small smile tugging at his lips.

“You know I'm alright, Rika.” I said teasingly and she clicked her tongue adorably.

“You're not invincible, who knows if you're hiding something again.” She murmured to my hearing and I rolled my eyes at her.

After she was done analyzing my entire body, checking for any hidden injuries, she breathed out a sigh of relief and beamed at me.

“Come take a seat, Noir and I were talking about sending more men to go in search of Tasyra.” She explained and I gave Noir a brief nod of acknowledgement.

“Hello, Jace.” He returned the greeting with words and I smiled.

“It's good to see you again, Noir.” I replied exhaustedly and sat beside Rika.

Gridshade also returned to seat with us. For some reason, he had just been overly quiet and he looked a mess with those dark eyes bags.

I really needed to speak to him in secret. I also needed to talk to Kat about my plans of heading out to save Tasyra in two days time. I knew the base where I was kept like the back of my hand.

After the issue of Tasyra is resolved, I would personally call Erika over and tell her about the anonymous Wren Family.

“Noir wants to help in the search for Tasyra, so he would be sending some of his men along side mine to look for Tasyra” Erika started again and I nodded.

“Alright, that's good then. Thank you so much, Noir” I said, flashing him a knowing smile and Gridshade also bowing in appreciation.

“Can I have a word with you in private, Elder Gridshade?” I spoke up and stood up to leave. Gridshade nodded immediately and stood up to follow me out.

Erika gave us a pointed look, I winked at her and walked forward, straight to the court yard.

Once we reached the courtyard, I sent the guards there away and gestured for Gridshade to take a seat before me.

“Jace, is something wrong?” He asked impatiently.

I shook my head, telling him nothing is wrong.

“It's about Tasyra, I plan to go get her in two days time.” I announced and Gridshade's eyes went wide in shock.

“What?! You know where she is?” he asked in shock and I nodded.
