THE CHANGE IN THE SITUATION

"Beta Jace!" Maria rushed toward Jace when she saw him. She has been so depressed because of the revelation and only now she came out of her bedroom. She looked haggard. 

Jace stopped walking and turned around to face her. 

"What is it, Maria?" He was going to take care of something, he didn't have a lot of time to deal with her if she was going to pester him about Sofia's punishment like Kaz did. 

There was a deep crease between Jace's brows, he was being impatient. 

"Uhm… I only want to ask something." She looked uncomfortable when she mentioned this. She averted her eyes and stared at her fingers. 

There you go. 

Jace thought her question would be the same like Kaz, after all they were on the same page regarding Sofia a few days ago. 

"I don't know when the alpha will deliver the punishment for her, okay, so you can stop asking me about it." Jace really didn't have time for that.
