Chapter 107
Chapter 107:
“Fuck, don’t touch me like that!” Jace growled, his lip bleeding.
Jaris was still pissed. “You dare lie to me p>
“I didn’t, okay? I don’t know how the hell the test came back positive, but I know what I saw. Marta was never pregnant p>
“Jace, you keep lying and I’ll do things that’ll make your father weep p>
I put my hands on Jace’s chest, trying to calm him down. This didn’t look good. I didn’t even know how to feel.
“Lock him up!” Jaris ordered the guards in the room.
They were on Jace in a minute, dragging him away.
Oh, goodness.
“Alpha Jaris, please!” I quickly went to Jaris, who was already walking back to his seat.
Marta burst into tears, burying her face in her palms. Luna Isolde shook her head and walked out.
“P-please, I think this was all a misunderstanding,” I pleaded with Jaris. I knew it wouldn’t end well for Jace if he was locked up here. Jaris could hurt him in a lot of ways. And the Alpha wasn’t a good man.
“Everyone, out!” Jaris ordered, angrily grabbing a file from the table.
“Thank you,” Marta whimpered. “Thank you for giving me your trust again, Jaris. I am so glad you finally see the truth p>
She hurried out of the office. Nerion went next, but Kael stayed behind with me.
“Alpha, please p>
“Your friend is not getting away with this, Lyric.” Jaris glared at me. “Do you even know what I went through for the last four days? I was torn between liking and avoiding my own kids. Do you know how hard it was to avoid them when they called because I didn’t know what to say to them? Do you know how conflicted I was p>
“I know, Alpha! I was at the house, remember? It’s just…” I huffed. “Jace wouldn’t do this. It’s… it’s not like him to lie about things. He’s never lied to me p>

“Well, it’s obvious you don’t know your friend p>
“Please. J-just get him out and we can talk about this p>
“And what makes you think I want to talk about this?” His stare turned serious. He looked too cold. Gone was the sweet man I’d been with for the past two days. This one didn’t care.
“Please p>
“I asked everyone to leave, Lyric!” he rasped.
I shuddered at the hostility in his voice. I finally turned and left.
MARTA
Marta was home again. She was with her family when she got a call from Jaris, demanding she come over.
She had contemplated running away, but her grandmother forced her to go answer to him, making her understand that Jaris would come after the entire family if she ran.
