Chapter 1*8: Theo We were waiting for Briggs to arrive the next morning to pick us up for our meeting with Alpha Harden.Ayla said she didn’t want to speak with him at the safe house. She didn’t want Kylee or her motherinvolved. She would talk to Harden about getting them settled in here in Blue Fang, but she wantedthem to worry about getting their lives together, not how to keep them. I wasn’t inclined to have them overhear anything, either. The more they knew, the more of a liabilitythey were to Ayla. I wasn’t okay with that. So, I had no issues moving the meeting to a differentlocation. Briggs and Randy had taken our replaceings from the Onyxcrown packhouse back to the cellar inGreytooth. They would arrive back shortly to pick us up from here. Ayla was pacing the small living room. There was a lot on her mind, and I started to worry she wasbeginning to feel some post-traumatic stress. I went to her, stopping her pacing as I tipped her chin upto kiss her. “What’s on your mind, love?” I asked gently. I loved how she sank into me whenever I touched her. Knowing I could do that to her was the mostsensual experience ever. I would. never get over it. I held her as she looked up at me. “I just feel like there’s so much to do,” she expressed. “I’m just not sure what to do first.” “Like what?” “We need to figure out what the Waar P*k is up to. So, we need to go -0.00% 10:59 Chapter 139 They

over everything we found from Harry. That will take a while. We need to start looking into replaceingmembers and tracking them down to stop them. We still have your Alpha ceremony to get through. Ineed to figure out what I’m going to do with my career. I know I will be taking on the Luna duties soon,but I want something that’s mine, too. I still want to go to school. Not to mention, I want to sell the

house…” “Okay, okay, baby, slow down,” I chuckled. “All of that is being taken care of. This meeting will addressthe Waar P*k. I’ve already postponed the Alpha ceremony. It’s just not going to happen this week. We’llget you in school next week. That’ll be easy. None of this is anything you have to handle by yourself,okay? That’s what I’m here for now. But why do you want to sell the house?” She sighed. “It just doesn’t feel right to keep it anymore. Ma and Kylee aren’t going back there for now.Even if they do return to Greytooth, I don’t think they’ll go back to the house. It just feels… violated. Idon’t think I could go back there without thinking of Harry. It broke my heart that her childhood home had been tainted in such way. I knew how much the propertymeant to her. But I could understand her wanting to let it go and move on. “Okay, so let’s go there first,” I said. “Instead of heading back home, we can go and get it ready to sell.Unless you just want to hire someone to take care of it?” “No,” she replied. “I want to do it. I think having a stranger in there would make it worse. Besides, I’llhave to get Ma’s and Kylee’s things. ready to send to them.” “Alright, then,” I concluded. “We’ll stop by the house first. We’ll handle one thing at a time, babe, andnothing more than you’re ready to take on.” 29.89% III -10:59 Chapter 1*8 Tho 289 Vouchers There was a knock at the door, and Briggs connected to tell us it was them. I let them in and wasalmost knocked on my a*s when Mina burst through, making a beeline to Ayla and throwing her armsaround her. “Don’t you ever be that st**id again,” Mina scolded her cousin as she held her. “You nearly gave me ananeurysm.” Ayla laughed. “I’ll do my best.”

“Good,” she said. She held up a bag. “Now, go get changed out of those sweats so we can get going.” “I love you,” she breathed, grabbing the bag eagerly. As Ayla ran to the bedroom to change, Marie and Kylee emerged from their room. Mina went to themnext, embracing each of them. ‘How is Ayla?’ Briggs asked through the mind-link. ‘Still holding up?’ ‘She’s physically recovered,’ I replied. ‘Quite impressively, actually. ‘And her me**al state?’ ‘I don’t know yet,’ I said worriedly. ‘She’s definitely feeling stressed, but she’s been dealing with herfamily since she arrived. I’m watching for deeper trauma.’ ‘Then let’s get this meeting over with and get her home,’ he insisted. ‘Agreed.’ Ayla returned, looking more comfortable in her own clothes. “We ready?” she asked, brighter than a few minutes earlier. “You’re leaving already?” Marie said. 67.42% III 10:59 Chapter 1*8 Theo 288 (Vouchers Ayla looked at her. “Ma, I have things to get back to.
