Chapter 13: Ayla

Theo and I took the morning off from training. My body needed the break to recover. It was nice to sleep in a little, but I didn’t get to for long. Before my first class, I had to go down to the cellar for a little while. I had been studying Harry’s notebook whenever I had a little free time, and something had been bugging me.

“Oh,” I replied coyly, “I feel so special.”

Theo growled low, his lips taking mine. He kissed me needily for a few moments before pulling back reluctantly.

“I hate how crazy things have been lately,” he said.
