*****Erika''s POV*****


    Kat''s words had meanings to it, that could be a very logical reason why Tasyra was abducted. Because she was into Jace.


    Alex and Gage came forward and after a slight exchange between us, they left the packhouse, back to theirs.


    Me, Kat and Pa walked back to my room for a brief discussion and we agreed on going over to the hospital to visit Jace. The doctor had called to inform me that he was awake and was epting visitors at this time.


    "We''ll just stay for a few minutes with him." Pa suggested, but Kat shook her head in refusal. "You both will leave, but I won''t." She said and we chuckled.


    We got ready and left for the infirmary that was just a five minutes drive away from the Packhouse. At the entrance of the hospital, we were met with a few elders who probably came for a check and some other pack members who bowed on seeing me and the girls.


    We made our way into the hospital and straight towards the VIP ward where Jace was kept.


    Just then, we saw the doctor walk out of a room and came towards us the minute he sighted us approaching.


    "Alpha Erika, you''re here." He said and gave a slight bow.


    "Yes, Doc. You said Jace is awake, am I right?" I asked and he gave a nod.


    "Yes, Alpha. I''ll lead the way." I nodded as we followed behind him towards Jace''s ward.


    At the entrance, Two guards were stationed as requested. I released a little sigh of relief knowing that Jace was in good hands.


    The doctor then turned to look at me.


    "Alpha, I have to check on a patient and I wouldn''t be able to go in with you." He said and I nodded in understanding.


    "Yes, you may go." I said and he nodded before walking away. We turned towards the door and I pushed it open.


    But the next scene that came into view was thest thing I expected to see.


    Right there, beside Jace''s bed was a masked person trying to meddle with his drip bag.


    The two guards supposed to be stationed and guarding the inside of his roomy on the floor, exposing Jace to danger.


    Pa and Kat gasped in shock as Iunched at the person, who already noticed our presence and fled through the opened window.


    "Catch him and don''t let him escape!" Imanded as the other guards outside saw what just happened and ran after the culprit through the other side.


    I and the girls rushed to Jace''s side immediately to see if he was alright and thankfully, the drug about to be injected into his drip bag wasn''t injected as it fell on the floor.


    Panic and fear consumed me as I imagined what would have happened if I had been even a minutete. I watched Jace''s face and frowned. If he was awake, why would he let this happen to him?


    Why would hey still letting someone about to inject this into his drip bag.


    "Call the doctor!" Kat yelled at Pa, as if reading my mind.


    Pa nodded and dashed out of the room to call the doctor.


    The doctor arrived in no time and I barked at him.


    "What sort of a thing is this?! You guys couldn''t even protect my brother?!" I yelled and Pa came over to hold onto me.


    She rubbed my back soothingly, but I was far from calm this time. I was mad because I was so close to losing Jace again.


    Tears stung my eyes as I wat the doctor check on Jace


    immediately. He ran around trying to maybe neutralize whatever was causing Jace to lose consciousness.


    After a while of silence, the doctor turned to look at me with a head bow.


    "Alpha, I''m sorry that this happened and I promise it would never happen again_"


    "Keep the promises to yourself, only


    the goddess knew what I would have done to you and this guards if anything had happened to Jace!" I spat out and the doctor stilled.


    "Rika, calm down." Pa said to me, still rubbing my back.


    "Doc why is he unconscious?" Kat asked in concern and the doctor sighed.


    "Apparently, something was sprayed in the air to make each and everyone of them sleep off. So Jace is


    currently asleep, he should wake up


    In a few minutes from now." He


    exined and I breathed.


    The doctor then slowly walked out of the room while we sat around Jace, patiently waiting for him to wake up.


    Sooner than expected, Jace''s eyshes fluttered and he opened his eyes.


    Kat was the first to notice and almostunched herself into his arms, but stopped at thest minute.


    "Jace!" I called out and went closer to take his hand. A small smile spread across his lips as he looked into my eyes.


    "You, why are you crying?" Jace asked me, raising a questioning brow weakly. He also turned to Kat whose tears didn''t look like it would dry up at any time.


    "And you too? Why are you both crying?" He asked again weakly and I smiled through the tears.


    Kat rubbed the side of his face lovingly as she teared up. I just sat there while rubbing his hand.


    He dragged in a breath and made to sit up, but I pushed him down.


    "You''re still weak." I said to him.


    He shook his head, insisting on sitting up.


    We three helped him seat up and leaned on the headboard of the hopital bed.


    "It''s good to see you again, Jace." Pa chuckled and Jace shed her a smile. "It''s good to see you again, too." He replied.


    "Jace, tell us, what happened to you." I began immediately. We really needed to know what happened to him back then.


    Kat gave me a confused look, "Rika he just woke up, let him rest first." Kat said but I shook my head.


    "We need to know what happened, there no more time to waste at this point." I told her before turning to look at Jace again.


    "Jace, did you know that a while ago, a masked man was here to mess with your drip bag?"


    "What?!"
