Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Theo

I didn’t know how the day had so quickly turned into the worst day of my life.

I knew something was wrong the moment I lost the connection with Ayla. Ever since she rejoined the pack, I had been hyperaware of her consciousness. It was when I felt her pain that my world came crashing down.

I flew through the halls, arriving in time to see Ayla collapse on the floor, the air filled with the scent of her blood. A lot of blood.

Everything seemed to move in slow motion after that. I carried her to the infirmary, where they quickly stopped the bleeding. Jimmy said she kept saying it wasn’t that bad. It was hard to believe, but the pack doctor said she was healing within minutes of arriving. He checked over the rest of her and said she wouldn’t even need to go to the hospital. But she did lose enough blood that she would sleep the rest of the day.

It was after midnight as I watched her sleep on the cot. Kieran was pacing solemnly in my head as we sat, waiting for her to wake up. So I could do the hardest thing I would ever have to do in my life.

She groaned softly, and her eyes began to flutter. I leaned forward, holding her hand tighter.

“Hey, baby,” I whispered, brushing my hand over her hair. “You can wake up now.

“Theo…”

“Yeah, honey,” I assured her. “I’m here.”

She opened her eyes, giving me a weak smile. She looked around and realized where she was.

“What…” She hissed as she moved, looking down at her side. “Oh, yeah… That.”

“How does it feel?” I asked.

“Sore as hell,” she said, rubbing over the bandaged wound. “But not too bad.”
