Chapter 19: Kingston

I had spent the entire day with Ayla. She still needed to rest often, so I was able to get some work done while she napped. But for the most part, I didn’t leave her side. I couldn’t tell if she had caught on to my feelings yet, but I had noticed that she wanted to be physically closer to me more and more. I still wouldn’t push her, but I wouldn’t deny her either.

I was looking for something to make for breakfast when Pierce mind–linked me.

‘Hey, Kin. Uh, there’s someone who wants to speak with you.‘

‘Who is it?‘

‘Well, he actually wants to speak with Ayla,‘ Pierce said hesitantly.

No, he f***ing didn’t come here.

‘If you’re about to tell me Theo Arden had the nerve to come into my territory for her, you better think twice before

Ayla here so quickly, either. But I knew it was possible, and she still had a family. Despite everything that had occurred with them, I’m sure they would still be worried about her. I sighed internally.

‘Fine,‘ I agreed. ‘Bring him here. Don’t tell him she’s here yet. I’ Il talk to him outside first.‘

‘We’re five minutes out,‘ Pierce said.

I ran upstairs to my room and grabbed a shirt. As tempting as it was to walk out there half–naked just so he would have to relay the information to his pathetic Alpha, I didn’t think provoking him was the best idea. Cheating or not, he was an Alpha walking around with a half–broken bond and a bad attitude.

I walked out the front door just as they pulled up the drive. I stood at the top of the stairs, not bothering to pull my aura back. Pierce got out of the driver’s seat, and another male, who I assume is Beta Briggs, stepped out of the passenger side.
