Chapter 15: Theo

I had finished making all the necessary arrangements and was waiting in the kitchen for Ayla to get back home. I brought up some lunch since I knew she likely hadn’t had time to eat anything. I had packed a bag already, so I didn’t have to worry about it when she returned. I only had about an hour before I would need to get on the road, and I wanted to spend it with her.

“I’m here, babe,” I replied, heading to meet her in the living room.

The corners of my lips twitched. “I’ll be okay, love,” I told her as I let her go. “But I do have some bad news.” I took her hand and led her around, pulling her into my lap as I sat on the couch. “I have to go out of town for a few days, babe.”

“Oh,” she said. “What’s going on?”

“We’ve had another rogue attack,” I said. “I need to go down and figure out what’s going on. I’ll be gone a couple days, but I’ll be back in time for the ceremony this weekend.”

“Is everyone okay?” she asked worriedly. “Do you want me to come
