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?”

“You know that’s not true, sweetheart,” Grace insisted. “You haven’t caused any of this. It’s the Waar P ak.”

“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.”

“That doesn’t mean it’s your…”

The front door opened and Theo, Briggs, and Jimmy walked in. I breathed a sigh of relief as Theo and I fell into an embrace. I could feel the tension rolling off of him but he was physically in the same shape as he had left. Theo led me to the couch. He kept his arm around me as he informed us about the night’s events.

“We can’t keep doing what we’re doing,” I said when he was finished. “We need to be more proactive about this. It’s time the Waar P ak became our priority.”

“What are you suggesting?” Alpha Torin said.

“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.
