The Luna’s Choice by Kat Silver

Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Theo
My heart broke as I watched my mate walk away from me, knowing she was breaking inside. But I had to address the crowd that had gathered.
“Ayla Garner is my fated mate,” I announced. “As your future Alpha, that sacred bond to me is all you need to show her loyalty and respect. I owe you no other explanation. But if any of you doubt her right to be your Luna, I have proof of the lies that Kylee Garner spread within our pack. Now, go.”
Everyone dispersed, returning to whatever they were doing before. Everyone except Jimmy, who I called to me.
“Make sure Kylee leaves the city,” I ordered. “I don’t want her within fifty miles of Ayla or me.”
“My pleasure,” Jimmy said with satisfied smirk.
I put a hand on his shoulder before he left. “Did you hear the rumors?”
“Oh, I heard ’em,” he confirmed. “After what I saw the day of the attack, there’s no way in hell anyone could convince me that woman is the same person in those rumors.” He pointed toward Ayla’s apartment. “Not a single, sane wolf present that day would.”
“Good,” I said. “If you hear any more talk or any discontent…”
“Don’t worry, Alpha,” Jimmy said. “We’ll make sure they see the error of their ways long before you need to step in.”
I squeezed his shoulder in gratitude.

“Alpha,” Jimmy said, “tell our Luna we’re proud to have her.”
“I will, Jimmy,” I said with a smile. “I definitely will.”
I went back to Ayla’s apartment but didn’t see her there. I searched the place and found her on the bathroom floor, sitting against the tub, head in her hands. I knelt down before her, running my hands down her legs.
“Baby,” I said gently.
“I can’t do it, Theo,” Ayla whispered.

“Can’t do what, honey?”
“I can’t be your Luna,” she choked out.
My heart stopped. “Don’t say that, Ayla. You’re the only one who can be my Luna.”
She shook her head. “No, I can’t. No matter what I do, no matter what choice I make, I hurt people. I can’t be responsible for that. I can’t take it anymore.”
“Shhh.” I changed positions, pulling my mate onto my lap. “You couldn’t be more wrong, baby.”
“I chose Kylee – I hurt you. I chose Kingston – I hurt him because I didn’t belong. I chose you I hurt Kylee,” Ayla explained. “The pack would never accept me with a track record like that.”
I laughed at her words.
“Theo,” she scolded.
“I’m sorry, babe,” I said. “But it’s hard to see it that way when Jimmy is

gleefully escorting Kylee out of the city as we speak because he won’t tolerate someone hurting you.”
“What?” She sat up to look at me. “No, that’s not what it is. Jimmy barely knows me.”
“Ayla, when we got to the packhouse the day of the explosion, what did you do?” I asked.
“What does that…”
“What did you do?” I interrupted her.
“I helped make sure everyone had made it out,” she said.
“You figured out how to know who was there, organized the check-ins, and kept everything from breaking out in chaos,” I corrected her. “That alone was enough to find out that Annabelle was missing. Then to rush inside and save her…” I made her look at me. “That’s the choices a Luna makes. You chose to do those things even when you’re family was in trouble. You chose to trust me to keep Mina safe, so you could keep my pack our pack – safe.”

“That’s different,” she insisted, her brow furrowing. “That’s what anyone would do.”
“Kylee didn’t,” I argued. “When the library was on fire, she couldn’t even be bothered to show up.”
She still had doubt in her eyes as she looked at me.
“Baby, you didn’t hurt Kylee by choosing me,” I insisted. “Kylee hurt herself. But you made me the happiest wolf in the world when you chose me. Doesn’t that count for something?”
She melted against me, a wave of defeat washing through our

connection.
“But I can’t be more important,” she whispered. “I’m not worth risking everyone else for.”
I sighed, holding her close.
“Do you want to know the hardest lesson my father taught me?” I asked. “I was sixteen. My friends and I were being st**id teenagers, and there was an accident. My friend was trapped and it didn’t look good. Help was seconds away, but I didn’t wait. I went in to save him. I got him out, but I nearly lost a leg in the process. Had I not gone in, we would have had time. They could have gotten him out safer. It was dumb luck that I got us both out intact.”
