Chapter 7. In the Midst Of Men

Jace's POV

A lot had happened in this short time but I was totally stunned when I saw the man that had entered. He bore a semblance to the boys but he was much older with streaks of white hair adorning his crown.

He exhumed such powerful, magnificence and authority that for a moment, I did in fact lose myself. It took a cutlery knife being thrown my way by one of the boys with such force that it stuck behind the wall to realize what I had been doing wrong as I shot myself forward and bowed before the man.

He welcomed me with such kind eyes and scolded Damon who had thrown the knife for doing that.

Eventually, everyone had settled and it was just the man speaking now. He had such control and I could almost see a father figure in him.

However, something bothered me at the back of my mind and that was the fact that I was in the midst of men. My heart tempo instantly rose as the name and memories accompanied by that name flooded through me.
