The live broadcast spread far and wide, sweeping through the Pack in a matter of seconds, straight into homes, shops, training halls, and even to someone who hadn’t crossed Jace’s mind in days.
Back in the gym;
Clara had just finished another set of reps with her trainees, her voice could be heard clearly over the repeated sounds of metals coming together and the steady sound of heavy footsteps on mats.
It had been a while since she’d last thought of Jace, she had not done so in a week, at least not deliberately. The last time was that night she called him and got no answer, she had decided she wouldn’t try again, that if he wanted to be distant, she would let him be. She’d pushed herself back into her own life, into her work, and so far, she was doing fine.
The day, up till that mome
