The Luna’s Choice by Kat Silver

Chapter 117: Ayla

We asked Randy a few more questions but didn’t get through nearly as many as I had. But he needed rest. Theo and I both could tell he was barely holding on to consciousness. Theo had a cot and bedding brought down to him and actual IV fluids to help flush the wolfsbane from this system.

As we left the utility room, Theo stopped me.

“Why didn’t you tell me Dasha came back?” he asked shyly.

I could tell he was hurt about finding out that way. I grabbed his hands and leaned into him.

“I wasn’t sure if she would go away again,” I told him. “I didn’t want you to be disappointed if she did.”

“I hope she never has a reason to leave again.”

Dasha made a smart–ass comment, making me laugh.

“What?” Theo asked.

“I’ll tell you later,” I replied, kissing him.

“We need to have a meeting,” he said. “Our inner circle needs to be filled in on everything so we can get a better game plan in place.”

“Okay,” I said. “But… we also need to talk.”

“About?”

“What I did in there,” I said. “I don’t understand what’s going on.”

Theo leaned in and kissed me. “I know, sweetheart. I’m not sure either, but I have some theories. I think Randy can help us with that, too, once he’s rested up.”

“You trust him?” I asked.
