Chapter 60: Ayla

I was pacing the room as I waited for some kind of news. It was already passed midnight and we hadn’t heard from anyone what was going on.

“Ayla, sit down, please,” Mina said. “I’m sure they’ll be back soon.”

“To say what?” I asked. “How I’m causing even more trouble for everyone?”

“But they wouldn’t be doing any of this if it wasn’t for me,” I sighed. “It’s not like we’ve found any evidence that they’re so concerned about Kylee and she’s my sister. She has the same blood I do. No” – I shook my head – “they only care about me.”

“Well, first, I’m going to put college on hold for a little while,” I said. I raised a hand when Theo went to protest. “No, it’s time we face that it needs to be done. I’ll have more time later when all of this is over. Second, I’m going to be working closer with Luna Grace. Mäke more of an effort to get out and let people see me in the Luna role.”

“I think that would be very beneficial,” Alpha Torin agreed with me.
