The Luna’s Choice by Kat Silver

Chapter 52: Briggs

I wasn’t surprised when I ran into Alpha Kingston on the way down to the lobby, but I didn’t know how the interaction would go. Ever since Theo used my name to get onto Sablemane lands, I knew there was a chance he would hold a grudge against me. I doubted he would do anything about it here, but it could make things difficult for Mina. I would hate to see that happen.

We ended up taking the elevator together. There was some tension in the air, but he didn’t say anything.

“Alpha Kingston,” I broke the silence, “I want to apologize for Alpha Theo’s actions. I didn’t know he got Pierce’s number or that he would use my name. I tried to stop him from going in the first place.”

“It’s fine, Beta Briggs,” he replied, his tone was tight. “I won’t pretend I was happy to see him. In fact, I was pissed off just to find him in her office. Even more so when he accused her of more so when he accused her of theft and pressed charges against her.”

“Thank you.”

I had a feeling they had run into each other when Mina hadn’t come back to the room yet. She had left to see if she could find Ayla. I’m glad she had. She had been eager to see her and was going a little crazy not knowing if she would be here or

not.

We stepped off the elevator, but before we got far, Kingston stopped me.

“I have a feeling the incident didn’t have the same effect on Theo,” he said. “Whatever he may be planning, I suggest you put a stop to it. I’m not letting him near Ayla this weekend.”

“Theo’s not here,” I informed him. “He had an urgent matter to attend to. Luna Grace and I are here on his behalf.”

“And you brought your new mate with you,” Kingston stated. “Who also happens to be Ayla’s cousin.”
