“He is,” I replied. “He has really been there for me since… since I left the pack.”

“You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that, Ayla,” Mina stated. “I’ve been worried sick ever since I found out what Theo did to you. And everything Kylee did.”

“Thank you. I just don’t want to put that on her.”
