Chapter 120: Ayla

I was numb as I stared out the window, watching rain trail down the glass. We were out of Greytooth territory now. I could feel it.

“I’m sorry, Ayla,” Alpha Harden said again. “Truly, I am, but this is the only way to keep you safe.”

I didn’t say anything. I hadn’t said anything since we left the city.

“He wanted to come with you, you know.” Alpha Harden said. “He didn’t even hesitate. He would have given it all up.”

“What stopped him?” I said hoarsely.

“Reality,” he replied. “There’s no way the Waar Pak won’t know he’s your true mate now that you made your relationship public. If you both disappeared, they’d have an array of people to go through to find you both. They’d go after the pack, his family, even his allies.”

I closed my eyes. I’d never want that to happen. I tried to focus on the coolness of the window against my face. Thunder rumbled outside as the rain became heavier. The storm was getting worse. I knew how that felt.

“Alpha, we’ve got flood warnings coming up.” Gamma Blake said. “We’re heading right into this storm, and it’s going to hit hard. I think we should find somewhere to wait it out.”

I felt Alpha Harden’s eyes on me,

“There’s a motel up the road,” he replied. “We’ll stop there. Let Ms. Garner get some sleep.”
