“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
