Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 98

******Kat’s POV******

Thankfully, Jace came early to hold Erika back from Killing those guards. The Angry Erika was not one to be trifled with when annoyed.

We watched as Jace led her slowly out of the dungeon and into the living room. Since Jace's health wasn't yet back to being stable, he kept limping as he helped Erika take a seat, pulling her into his arms for a hug.

“You should go back to the room and rest, you're still not alright.” I heard her say to him and he nodded.

“I'll go back once I'm sure that you're fine.” He replied. How sweet of him.

After a while of staying silent without a word from anyone, Jace pulled away and asked, “what exactly happened?”

I turned to Erika, waiting for her to tell him the truth of the letter and photos attached. But Erika did nothing of such.

“It's Melisse, she escaped.” Erika simply said without talking about the distraction.

“What? Melisse escaped?” Jace asked in shock and Erika nodded.

“But how is that even possible? How did she escape?” Jace questioned again and Erika sighed.

“It's a long story, but don't worry I'll sort it out. Kat, help Jace back to his room, the doctor said he needs lots of rest.” Erika said and turned to look at me.

I raised a brow slightly, why was she not telling Jace the truth?

I nodded and walked upto Jace, he didn't object and just followed me as I took him back to the room upstairs. Once we were in his room, Jace suddenly clicked the door shut and his earlier pained expression vanished to a more serious one.

“Kat, tell me the truth. What happened and how did Melisse escape?”

My heart hammered in my ribcage as I fell into a huge dilemma. I didn't actually know why Erika skipped the part of telling Jace about the photos and letter, or how Melisse escaped, but I couldn't also lie to my mate.

I gulped as Jace cornered me all of a sudden, pinning me to the wall. I was surprised how he still had the energy to do this after that bullet and knife wound he got from last time. He was supposed to be weak, but he still was stronger than I was.

“Tell me, Katrina.” He used my full name, his gaze holding mine and not giving me a moment to think.

“Jace….” I called out softly, extending a hand to touch his face. “Promise me that you won't do anything until you're well. I don't know why Rika purposely skipped this part, but I guess it's for your health sake. So please promise you won't do anything to endager your health again.”

Jace watched me with his piercing dark eyes as he took in my words. He stayed quiet for a while, not saying a thing or giving a nod as usual.

“Kat, tell me.” He said again, still having his ooker face on.

“After you promise me.” I just couldn't identify the source of my bravery. I was supposed to be scared out of my wits with the look in his eyes, but I wasn't a bit scared of him.
