The Return | Alec Ligtwood - Book 2

"Don't leave me !"

I took a breath as I looked around in panic before trying to feel again that pull I had felt earlier.
I squeezed my teeth as much as I could hear and feel was the disappointments of the New York City before knocking my fist into the first thing on my way.

It turned out that it happened to be an apple stand making me wide my eyes as a man came abruptly out of his store looking at my disorder in disbelief and exasperation.

I leaned my head to the side with a grimace as he turned to me before letting out an exhausted grunt as I started to run again.

I had never done as much sport as in the last few days. Sincerely, if I were going to continue on this path I was going to become like these bodybuilder psychos.

I shook my head at my odd thoughts before making a sudden pause at the sensation of a tug on my chest. I brought my hand to my heart in unconsciousness before breaking my head abruptly to the side. I did not even think twice as I was going in that direction. Running course obviously.

Once again, I was completely frightened by the power of this strange traction as I was now standing in front of an immense multi-story hospital. I looked at the immense building, lifting my eyes up and down before giving me a look at my outfit.

I was not really in a state of entry to a hospital and even less so to go unnoticed. My phalanges were blue, green, and stained with blood. I had no doubt that several blues were also on my face now. Just like blood.

However, it would seem that my options were limited here. And it turned out that they were soon to be more so as I soon heard police sirens before even a black SUV pulled into the corner.

I immediately widdened my eyes in a bad foreboding before jumping on my heels. I loaded instantly to the hospital gates and ran across the corridor ignoring the unbelieving looks I received on my way.

I accelerated the pace in the first corridor lying in my passage before making a sudden halt in front of the panels of the different floors. I brought my finger on the different levels in search of the one where Jace could be before deciding to ignore this logical action for the traction that I felt.

I let myself be directed by my instinct as I entered an elevator avoiding medical staff on my way before turning to the metal doors by unconsciously pressing one of the buttons.

I remained totally frozen in disbelief at my action definitely not understanding what was going on with me before turning my eyes wide panic on the doors to the chord of a familiar voice.

I just had time to catch Luke's familiar back with the wolf Maia as the elevator doors closed on me.

I immediately pressed the button in an erratic frenzy as I watched anxiously the stages defiled before exploding through the doors as soon as the doors slid.

I paced through the empty corridor apart for some wandering doctor and threw an agitated look at each of the rooms in my path.

I made a sudden pause at the sight of two doctors coming out of a room before hiding me quickly behind the wall to spy on them.

"This can't be right." The confused man said letting me lean over the wall anxiously.

The woman with the coffee-colored skin strained a sample of what I assumed was blood before giving such a puzzled look at the man by her side. "I'm telling you, I ran the blood work three times. Whatever's going on with this guy, it's not normal. ''

I immediately bit my lip in the realization. It could only be Jace. At least I had come to understand why my mother did not want me to take blood samples during my childhood.
