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


    I paced the living room back and forth, trying hard to hold back the anger building


    up in me. I was this close to snapping at this point.


    How could Jace leave the house when he wasn''t fine yet?


    And Noir pissed me off even more at the so-called dinner date. Why was everything going so wrong in my life today?


    I sat down, stood up, sat again, but there was still no progress in calming myself.


    Just as I continued to pace the living, I also made a mental note to go in search of them once the time struck 10 and there wasn''t any sign of them yet.


    The double doors were pushed open and they both walked in dressed in ck and looking like assassins.


    "And where are you bothing from?!" I barked the moment they stepped in.


    Kat gave Jace one nce and then back at me.


    "Rika, don''t be mad, we just st_"


    "I''ll tell her." Jace cut her shut and I raised a brow, waiting for an exnation.


    "We went to save Tasyra." He announced and my eyes went wide in shock.


    They both went to save Tasyra from where she had been held hostage? That was impossible!


    "How did you both find the exact location she was kept?" I asked and Jace sighed as he sat on the couch.


    "I figured that it was the same ce I was kept when I was abducted that day. So we went to save her." He answered me and I blinked.


    "Did you save her? Did those men follow you? Oh goddess" I panicked and he shook his head immediately.


    "Yes, we managed to save her and No, no one followed us. So rx!"


    I breathed out a sigh of relief and rushed over to Jace in order to check on his body. He might be hiding injuries again from me.


    "I''m fine." He added and I rolled my eyes, still checking his body again.


    After I was satisfied, I moved away and breathed out. Jace chuckled, shaking his head at my attitude.


    "You shouldn''t be worried about me, you should be thinking of the Annual Christmas party you have to n in a week''s time. Father used to host it, but it''s your turn to do that now."


    At those words, I froze. Yes, my father used to host a Christmas party for the entire Fangoria, inviting all Alphas in the city to attend.


    He was always doing this to show appreciation to the Alphas of every pack and their efforts in improving the development of Fangoria.


    "I''ll host it of course, we''ll have a meeting with the financial secretary and we''ll talk about how to go about it." I said and he nodded.


    "Before then, I''ll go change up now. Tasyra is safe with her father and everything will go quite well from now on." Jace announced as he stood up to make.his way upstairs.


    I stared at Katrina.


    "You let him go in that condition?" I asked and she shook her head with a bitter smile.


    "I tried to stop him, but ended up getting threatened." She said and I chuckled. Jace was indeed one hell of a person.


    Kat walked up to me as a grin appeared on her face. She pulled away the ski mask folded on her forehead and I shook my head.


    "Did you have to dress this way? It''s too much when you didn''t even do anything


    at the scene." Iined and earned augh from her.


    "I just want to fit in."


    I shrugged my shoulders as she suddenly pulled me to sit at the other side.


    "Now tell me, how was the date night?" She asked and I frowned.


    "Disastrous." I gritted out and frowned.


    "What happened?"


    "Noir sucks at this stuff, it was more like he was being forced to do all that." I


    replied and she tucked her lip in as if about tough.


    "What?" She asked me and I sighed.


    "So, Noir and I went over to a


    restaurant owned by his pack, but he


    was acting so unnatural and it pissed me off so bad." I said again, remembering just how he acted like I was the man or something.


    "Why did he do that?" Kat asked and I red at her.


    "How am I supposed to know?!" I yelled and she finally bursted outughing.


    "Alright Alright, Noir isn''t the one then."


    She said and waved her hands in the air.


    "I don''t know, but I don''t feel like going out with him anymore. It feels weird in


    some way." I exined to her and she nodded.


    "It does. I''ll go change up now, then I''ll see youter." I nodded while she stood up and walked upstairs.


    Just as I rxed into the couch,


    someone came to massage the tensed muscles on my shoulder a


    and


    I instantly rxed to this person''s


    touch.


    When I looked up to see the face, I''m surprised to see Pa with a grin as she watched me.


    "Hey."


    "P, where did you run off to?" I asked as she came to stand before me.


    She chuckled softly and sighed.


    "It''s a long story." She said instead and I narrowed my eyes at her.


    "Summarize."


    She sighed, running a hand through her brown locs and said, "Rika, it came as a surprise to me too."


    My curiosity piqued even more and I urged her to spill what she never expected.


    "You won''t believe it either." She said again and I groaned.


    "Stop cutting it and tell me!"


    She raised her both hands in the air, then began her exnation.


    Vol


    "A few days ago, I had fallen sick and I went over to the pack''s infirmary for a check up, that was when I was confirmed..... Two weeks pregnant."


    At those words, my eyes widened in shock.


    "What?! You.... You''re pregnant?!"
