“Briggs,” I ordered, “tell me you found her.”

He made a face. “I found her,” he said shortly. “She’s alive and she’s safe. We should leave it at that.”

I didn’t like what he was saying. There was something he didn‘ t want me to know, and now wasn’t the time to try my patience. Or Kieran’s. He was pacing in my head, ready to command Briggs to tell us everything he knew about Ayla.

“So she is in Sablemane territory?” I pushed. “Did you talk to her? Do you know where she’ll go next? A rogue won’t be able to stay in pack lands for long.”

“She will be safe.”

“How?” I wanted to know what he was keeping from me. “Did you talk to her?”

“Why does it matter, Theo?” Briggs asked calmly.

“Because it matters, Briggs.”

He sat there watching me for a few minutes, weighing his words carefully, which didn’t put me any more at ease. Finally, he sighed and started to talk.

“Ayla is with the Sablemane Pack. She was in a car accident in their territory and was taken to the closest hospital. Her injuries were pretty bad. She was in the hospital for four days.”

My focus snapped to attention, my mind now only on my

mate.

“What do you mean ‘taken an interest?‘ Who?”

“She’s staying with Alpha Kingston. He made it clear to me that she is under his protection. She won’t be a rogue for much longer,” Briggs said.

“He’s bringing her into the pack?” I shot up from my seat. “Why the f*** does he care? Why is she staying with him?”

“I don’t know.”
