... I fell on the bed, unleashing the fear in me as tears poured from my eyes. I sprang to my feet and began pacing the room, my mind disturbed. Above the sour feelings Brittany's presence brought was anger. Anger at Ace for betraying me like this. Did he not know of my experience in the Crimson Pack? That Brittany's torture almost led to my death? Or did he feel nonchalant about it and assume I was fine with having her around? That experience is my for-life scar! He knew all about it. I could feel my heart thumping in my chest, my mind held rage and so many questions that I needed answers to. I decided to find Ace. Wherever he was, I would find him and fetch answers from him. I stormed towards the door and was ready to throw it open when it was pushed open and Ace walked in.
