Aria ended up waiting for almost two hours when, finally, Jace came out of the study room. He looked helpless when he saw she had been crying, while she was waiting.
"Cane wants to see you," he said simply, while Aria glared at him and wiped her tears with the backs of her hands, as if it was Jace who had made her wait for hours.
Seeing that, the Beta shook his head and went away. He had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to indulge in the problem with Aria.
Inside the room, Cane was putting back a book that he had just read and glanced over when she approached him.
"I am sorry, Alpha. I will remember it next time," Aria said, lowering her head. She looked ashamed. She had said the same line in the past several times when Cane reminded her about this trivial matter, but she kept forgetting about it.
