- Josie ~

The club security offered us a ride back to the pack. I had planned to stay at Maya's for a few days but with Cleo now here I couldn't leave her with my brothers for entertainment.

Sitting in the back seat with the girls, my eyes keep finding Knox's in the rear-view mirror as he sits in the front directing the driver. I don't know how he has become accustomed to these dark narrow roads; he isn't from around here. Approaching the pack gates, we have to wait for access, not one of us have access to the pack link to inform the guards ahead that we were arriving. Which means they need to check, frustratingly, that I am in fact in the car. Knox winds down his window to speak with one of the guards, the guard's eyes falling upon me before nodding in acknowledgement.

"The alphas have their mind blocks up, as soon as..." The guard starts but his swiftly cut off by Knox.

"Surely you recognise the alpha's daughter?"

"Of course, but...." His voice trials off as a car approaches the gates from the inside...wanting access out. It was the middle of the night, who would be leaving the pack grounds now... Then I see it...a white car...my white VW beetle car.

I open the car door, standing up to see over the roof of the car.

Why was my car leaving?

As the gates open, I move to block the car from leaving, standing in the middle of the path. Knox also exiting the vehicle to get a better view of the driver.

Jace.

"Jace, what are you doing?" I call out to him, the brightness of my own car's lights shining into my eyes. I lift my hand to my eyes, trying to block out some of the harshness of the light. "I'm leaving..." I just make out his low rumble reply.

"Leaving?" Leaving for where, he had only just returned. His training was over, he now had to start preparing to take over the Clear Waters pack from Mum and Auntie Alora...he can't just leave. "I'll get the car back to you as soon as I can."

"Jace, get out of my car...now." I move to the driver's side, trying to reach for the car keys by the steering wheel. This was beyond funny now; I don't know what he was playing at but he certainly isn't taking my car with him. This was mine...he and Jaxon shared a car, why can't he use that one.

Reaching in, he knocks my hands out of the way, his eyes moving past me to the male now standing behind me.novelbin

"Take your own damn car." I yell out in anger as I move forward again to take my keys and cut the engine when I stop, finally taking in his dishevelled appearance.

Something was severely wrong.

His eyes move to the car behind me, Cleo and Maya both sitting in the back seat with their window now down. He runs his hands down his face, before shaking his head.

"Stay save Josie..." He pushes at my torso, pushing my body back out of the way of the car, pushing me straight into Knox's firm chest.

"Jace." I cry out as he floors the gas pedal, the car burning rubber as he zooms away. I start to chase after him but as the car speeds away into the night, I have no hope in catching up with him on foot. I needed another car.

"What was that about?" I ask out as my hands lift to hold my head in astonishment, this wasn't Jace. He didn't just run out...what the hell has happened.

"Drive." I order at the driver as I rush back into the security car, desperate to get back to the alpha house to find out where my brother has gone and how I can chase after him. Something was wrong, I could feel it through the triplet bond we share... thinking of it, he's been off all night, but my mind has been elsewhere with George and Knox.

He had been drinking shots at the bar with Knox, both starting the night in a foul mood...Knox's mood lifting after the cloak room.

I shake the images of our secret kiss away, my brother needs me and I've been too preoccupied.

The car pulls up outside of the alpha home, my parents both standing outside arguing with Jaxon, Uncle Orpheus and Auntie Rosa standing outside in their dressing gowns.
