Jace sat on the chair while eating breakfast with Alexander, Juliet, Alyssa, and Luna.
Juliet, Alyssa, and Luna were perplexed as to why their mates were so lazy so early in the morning, even though they were always the first to wake up.
While the previous night's events replayed in his mind, Jace ate his bread with butter spread on it.
The room was quiet as Jace sighed, remembering how his cousins had returned and said Nathanial hadn't said anything, but Jace knew something else had happened inside, which worried him even more.
“Alexander and I will be going out in the garden for a while,” Jace said, looking up at Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna, who nodded, knowing Alexander and Jace needed time alone.
Alexander looked at Jace, perplexed, as he could tell something was wrong, whereas Jace remained silent while eating his breakfast.
Jace knew his cousins had never mentioned him to Nathanial, but he also knew something else had happened because Draco, Loukas, and Ronin looked exhausted when they returned.
It was as if all of their energy had been drained from them, and they had no powers left in their bodies, which worried Jace.
“Alexander, let's go,” Jace said as he stood up, while Alexander nodded and quickly bid his goodbyes before standing up.
“If anything is wrong, or if you need us, just let us know,” Jace said as Juliet hummed and nodded her head.
Alyssa said, "We'll call you if we need you," as Alexander nodded and quickly took Jace's hand as they walked out of the castle.
“They're so cute,” Juliet exclaimed as she noticed Alexander clinging to Jace's arm and laughing.
Alyssa stated, "I agree, but I'm sorry for separating them for three weeks." As Luna hummed and added, “Yeah, Alex looked so sad and worried for three weeks.”
Juliet said, "Agreed, but look at him now, all happy and shy." Alyssa hummed and added, "He's just so adorable."
“I'm glad he's Jace's mate because no one can love him as he does,” Juliet said as Luna laughed nodding her head.
Luna spoke up. “Yeah, Alexander's past was a mess, but Jace was there to support him and make him happy later on,” Juliet and Alyssa agreed.
“Their challenges remain, but Jace always takes Alexander's side and listens to him,” Luna said as Alyssa frowned and added, “Our mates never listen to us.”
“Ronin listens to us, but he always takes his brother's side,” Juliet sighed, giggling as she shook her head.
As she drank her tea, Luna said, "Draco believes when I say something, but later he changes his mind."
“Loukas never listens and believes he is the boss,” Alyssa groaned, irritated.
“He is stubborn,” Luna said, as Alyssa agreed with a nod of her head.
Juliet spoke up. “Our mates haven't arrived yet, so let's wait for them in the hall,” Alyssa said, “Yeah sure, let's go,” Luna hummed.
Alyssa, Juliet, and Luna stood up as they walked towards the hall together and sat on the sofa while they waited for their mates and friends.
“I am so worried about what is going on,” Alyssa said as Juliet rubbed her back and added, “Don't worry, everything will be fine soon,” as Alyssa nodded.
“I just hope everything gets resolved as soon as possible,” Luna sighed as she stared at the hall door, waiting for her mate.
“I just love Ron so much that I want everything to go back to the way it was,” Juliet said, smiling at Luna and Alyssa, who returned her smile.
Alyssa spoke up. “Everything has been turned upside down since the day these problems began,” Juliet nodded.
“I'm just glad that Loukas, Draco, and Ronin are finally on our side,” Luna said as Alyssa and Juliet hummed in agreement.
“Yeah, sending Jace on this investigation was a good decision,” Alyssa said, as Juliet added, “and now, we are just so close to ending everything.”
Juliet said, "Our lives will finally be normal again." As Alyssa and Luna nodded happily.
“I just don't want to go to the doctor again,” Luna sighed, making Alyssa and Juliet laugh.
“Draco will not let this happen to you again.” Luna rolled her eyes as Alyssa spoke.
“Yeah, but with him lazing around, anything can happen,” Luna said as she sighed and rubbed her brow.
“Though what is the matter with them?” Alyssa inquired, concerned, as Juliet responded, “They have never slept so much.”
Luna spoke up, “I agree, and even though Draco has the worst sleeping schedule, he would still wake up just to have breakfast with me and sleep later,” she sighed, rubbing her face.
“Something happened yesterday after we fell asleep,” Juliet said, as Luna hummed and responded, “Yeah, and to top it off, they were sleeping not with us.”
“Something happened yesterday after we fell asleep,” Juliet said, as Luna hummed and responded, “Yeah, and to top it off, they were sleeping not with us.”
“Exactly, something is up,” Juliet said, as Luna replied, “Even Jace was feeling out of it,” and Alyssa hummed and added, “We need to ask Jace because maybe he knows something we don't.”
“Nice idea,” Luna said as she stood up to call Jace and Alexander when her gaze was drawn to Loukas, Ronin, and Draco.
“Hey girls,” Loukas said, and Alyssa responded, “Oh Lou,” standing up and walking over to hug him.
“Great to see you, Ron.” Juliet exclaimed as she quickly hugged Ronin, who smiled and hugged her back.
Luna said, "Draco, I missed you," to which Draco replied, "I missed you even more" as he hugged her back.
“Let's go to our room because I need to tell you something,” Draco said as Luna nodded and looked at Alyssa and Juliet, who were heading to their respective rooms.
Luna said, "Let's go," as she walked to her room with Draco by her side.
“Ah, even though I am a king, I want to live in a small house in the middle of a forest with you,” Jace said as he sighed and kissed Alexander's knuckles.
While they sat on the bench, Alexander said, "Yes, that would be lovely, but wherever we are together, that's home." Jace hummed in agreement.
