Chapter 53: Ayla

It had been three weeks since I had stepped back from the Waar Pak investigation. It had been hard at first. I kept feeling like I was being left out, which would manifest in mood

swings. Theo would update me on anything I needed to know, which helped some. He still hadn’t been able to get much out of Lloyd, but we weren’t surprised that the process would take a while.

Eventually, I settled into a normal routine that kept me busy enough that I could keep my mind off of the things I wasn’t doing.

“We’ll stop by the pharmacy on the way back,” she said. “When is Alpha done today?”

“He said he wouldn’t be back until late,” I said, sounding more bitter than I had meant.

He hadn’t been working late a lot, but he always seemed to have bad timing when he did. With me being sick, Dasha had been in a weird mood that had us both feeling unusually clingy. So, when Theo wasn’t close by, I would get annoyed, especially since he had been evasive about where he had been going. He said he was working on a project with the company from the office in the city while Harmon was still in town. But whenever I asked, I could feel something through our bond. It made me feel like he was hiding something.
