Jace I knew something was wrong when I noticed Lena hadn't showed up in the training grounds. I was anxious and the day passed by slowly. She never missed a session, even on days that she was badly injured or sick, she'd still manage to come and work harder than anyone else. I tried concentrating but my mind still keeps drifting to her, I remind myself not to overthink, Alpha Alec has made his objectives very clear about keeping my distance away from his beloved, Lena. My heart was tangled. He has never cared about her, why now? Half of the day passed and I already made my decision; I don't care about the warning of Alpha Alec. I was going to check up on her on my way home. The hall to the guest house felt quieter than usual. No guards standing nearby, no murmuring servants around
