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.‘

‘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.
