******Erika's POV*******
I couldn't tell if it was just me, or Alex was really acting strange towards me. He was never this caring or understanding. I tried to shrug off the thoughts in my head, but at the same time trying to think it through.
Alexander had never once offered to drive me around or even adhere to my decisions. Maybe because I was Alpha now, but I still had this feeling that there was something more to it.
We soon arrived at the hospital and we went in. I was surprised to see Alex following us into the hospital, but I didn't question him since he said that he was already heading to the hospital.
We ignored him and went to Jace's ward.
But Alex still followed us to Jace's ward, so I stopped immediately to face him.
"Alpha Alex, why are you still following us?" I asked him.
He smiled and shook his head. "I want to see Jace too, that's why I came along." He shamelessly said.
I raised a brow at his words.
"So you lied?"
"Yes, I lied to get close to you." Alex replied with a shrug and my eyes widened.
How shameless!
Red hues appeared on my face I guess and I turned sharply to walk into the room.
Surprisingly, Jace was awake already.
"Jace!" I dashed towards him, same with Kat as we went to sit by his side. Alex stood there watching us as we went ahead to hug and do everything with Jace.
"Thank Goodness the poison wasn't that much!" Kat said through tears.
"Poison?" Jace and Alex asked simultaneously. I nodded in return.
"Yes Jace was poisoned with the same position used on my father, but it's been taken away." I explained and their eyes widened in shock.
"How did that happen?" Alex asked in surprise and I sighed again.
"There was an assassin here earlier, and the assassin was responsible." Kat explained thankfully.
Alex blinked in shock and asked again, "Weren't there any guards appointed to guard him?"
"There were guards here, but they were asleep because of something sprayed in the room." I said calmly.
Jace looked up at us and smiled.
"For now, can I not say what happened earlier, things aren't in good shape at the moment, let's leave it for later." He said and I nodded.
If that was what he wanted, then I would comply.
"I want to leave this place, let's go back to the packhouse." He said again and I turned to Kat.
"Go and ask the doctor to discharge him, we're taking him back to the packhouse." Kat nodded and left the room to do as she was told. In no time, she returned to inform us that she had gotten Jace discharged.
The nurses came over to help Jace out of the hospital and straight to Alex's awaiting car.
We placed him in and got in as Alex drove back to the packhouse.
When we arrived at the packhouse, we saw Elder Gridshade in the living room and I remembered my promise to him instantly. There weren't any traces of smile on his face as he greeted.
