Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 52

*****Jace’s POV*****

I paced my room. It was late and I was yet to see Fagel. We had discussed he would be back by six pm, this was ten and I was yet to see him. I hoped he had not run into trouble on his way. I knew the mission I had sent him was a dangerous one but I had find the truth.

I would have gone myself but people knew me. They knew my family, if they saw me going to meet some possible bad people, news would fly. They would think I was have some hidden agenda.

And this was not the time to have bad news fly about myself. I checked my watch, twenty minutes past ten. Just ten minutes, ten minutes before I go out to search for him. I would not want something bad to have happened to him.

I just prayed he was alive. How bad were these people? When he had told me he had seen the locket somewhere and it had been those same people that had tried to forcefully take over their, I knew something was wrong and it something that required urgent looking into.

Those people might have been responsible for poisoning my dad, but who were they? That was what I wanted to know. Until knew who they were and their motives, I would not understand any of whatever was happening.

Which was why I had sent Fagel to go find them. To know if there was anyone who would know these group of people, what they stood and what their motives were. I had been the one who had ordered Fagel to take away the body. The less Erika knew, the better for her and the safer she and her friends would be.

Erika was a very inquisitive person and would always want to find any truth to the end. She was the next Alpha of the pack, I wanted her to concentrate on that. To focus on leading the pack dad had left in her care.

I would help her get to the root of it, and I knew things could at a point get very tough and bloody. I would be at the front of it all. I was all for finding the truth and I would get it.

I checked my watch again. Twenty eight minutes past ten. I stepped into my slip-ons and went out of my room, quietly going down the stairs. I could not wait anymore, I’ll try to go find him.

Walking slowly past her door, I ran the rest of the way, following the back of the mansion. I stepped out into the windy breeze of the night. There was a back gate I had asked him to follow through when he returned, I took the gate just in case, so I would not miss him.

Few steps out of the gate, I saw a figure coming towards me, I adjusted my stance, poised for a fight. Thankfully, my pen knife was in my back pocket, I never went anywhere without them especially now that these events were unfolding.

Coming nearer, I noticed this person was limping. Using the little light that stretched its beam towards the gate and even out of it, I saw it was Fagel. He came towards me, limping as fast as he could.

I quickly went to him and tried to help him.

“Fagel, what went wrong?”

“They…they…” His eyes were closing.

My eyes widened. He was stabbed in multiple places, he was even bleeding from his mouth. Without asking further questions, I quickly carried him, running as fast as I could with his weight on me towards the hospital. It was night, so thankfully there was no much people around to see.

Many of the pack members had gone to bed at this time. I took him into the hospital.
