Chapter 25: Ayla

My friends left a little while later, but I held Mina back. A part of our conversation about Theo’s and my bond was bothering me.

“Mina, why do you think Theo never felt the wolfsbane in my system?” I asked. “Not even when I was with Harry, and it was still affecting me so strongly.”

Mina thought for a few moments. Her brow furrowed as she considered the possibilities.

“Maybe because you’re immune, the bond doesn’t recognize it as a real danger,” she said. “No one really knows how to explain the mate bond and how we are connected the way we are. But the communication is inherent between two wolves. Maybe it just knew that wasn’t the bad part.”

“Yeah, I suppose that would make sense.”

“Look, try not to think about it too much, okay?” she said, grabbing my hands. “What you and Theo have is remarkable. That’s all that matters.”

“I know.” I smiled at her. “The same goes for you and Briggs, you know. Even without the weirdness Theo and I experienced.”

“Oh, I know,” she agreed with a bright smile. “I wouldn’t want anything else.”

I pulled her into a strong hug. “Good,” I said as I held her. “Because you deserve every bit of happiness.” I let her go. “Now, go and get some rest. We only have one more day before the big day.”
