Chapter 64: Ayla

“So, what does this actually mean?” Theo asked after we shared what we found. “While I can admit that this is interesting, right now, it doesn’t seem much more than a fun fact. Not anything to warrant concern.”

“We have a few theories,” I said, holding his hand. “Most of them do come back to the Waar P ak’s idea that we would take over the packs.”

Theo snorted. “Even if this did give us the power to even think about it, that’s not what either of us wants.”

“That may be true,” Professor Armand said. “But when you have people like this who have spent decades believing it would happen, you’ll have a hard time convincing them otherwise. Besides, it’s not just you two they’d be worried about, but your children as well.”

Theo nodded.

We didn’t want to miss a single bit of information. But that would be easier with fresh eyes and a clean workspace.
