The Luna’s Choice by Kat Silver

Chapter 23: Theo

I stormed through the station and outside, needing the fresh air to sober me up. I forced my hands through my hair, keeping Kieran at bay as best I could. I was trying to figure out how the Waar Pak had managed to get rogues to organize against multiple packs when Will came outside.

“What the hell is going on, Theo?” he asked urgently. “Why would they be after Ayla?”

I sighed and walked over to a bench, falling onto it.

“I didn’t tell you everything about Ayla,” I admitted.

“Okay,” Will replied slowly and gently. “Are you going to tell me now?”

I looked around the area. We seemed to be alone. But I also had to consider bringing McCabe in on this information. These attacks were likely to continue, and he may need to understand the motives.

“Yeah, but we need McCabe first,” I said.

Will nodded but looked a little hurt.

“It wasn’t about trust, Will,” I insisted. “It was because there was already so much else to tell you. And I didn’t want to put this mess on you, too.”

“She’s

my Luna, too,” Will said sternly. “And whether I’ve met her or not, she’s family. Stop trying to protect me, Theo. If anything, that’s supposed to be my job. Now, how bad is this mess?”

“It’s bad,” I said.

“Okay, then let’s get McCabe and figure out how the hell to clean it up,” he stated, returning to the station.

I stood to follow, pulling my phone out of my pocket. I sent Ayla a message checking on her. The knot in my stomach relaxed some when she quickly sent me a picture of her and Mina at their dress fitting. She said Maggie was with them as well. She didn’t think Jimmy would appreciate being dragged along, and it was a good girl–bonding activity. I smiled a little, feeling less anxious about her safety but still missing her like crazy.
