Chapter 88: Theo
I went back to the apartment and found Marie in the kitchen.
“Alpha Theo,” she greeted me. “I didn’t get a chance to thank you. Well, for everything,
really. But mostly for letting me be with her now. It means so much.”
“She needed her mother,” I said.
“She did,” Marie agreed. “If I’m being honest, I never thought I’d see the day that Ayla
needed me again. I know that is mostly my fault. But it means more than I can express
that I can actually be who she needs me to be.”
“I’m grateful for that, too,” I replied. “But right now, I need to talk to Ayla. It’s important.
Do you mind giving us some space?”
“Oh, yes,” Marie said with a nervous nod. “Of course. I’ll get our stuff settled into our room
down the hall.”
“Thank you,” I said.

I waited for the front door to close before I took a slow step towards my bedroom. There
was a pit in my stomach as my nerves ate away at me. I didn’t know what to expect from
our conversation, but I knew I needed to fix whatever was broken between Ayla and me.
I needed my mate.
So badly I needed her right now.
I crossed the threshold into our room and had the wind knocked out of
me. Ayla was up out of bed. But she was packing.

“What are you doing?” I growled.
Ayla jumped slightly as she turned to me. “I’m leaving,” she said defiantly before going
about her task. “I can’t stay here.”
Kieran whimpered as my chest felt like a vice had clamped down on it. I knew she would
need some time but I never imagined she would leave me.
“Ayla, please…” I was about to beg her to stay, but I stopped myself. That wasn’t the
support she needed right now. “Ayla, we need to talk. I need to tell you something.”
“Don’t bother,” she snapped, her voice quivering. “I get it. I wouldn’t want me either. I’ll
be out of your way soon enough.”
I took a step toward her. “What are you talking about? Of course I want…”
“I don’t need to hear it, Theo,” Ayla cried. “I can’t hear it. Please. Just let me go and I’ll
leave you alone. I don’t need an explanation.”
“An explanation for what?” I urged, completely confused. “Ayla, you’re not making any
sense.”

“Am I not?” she seethed, turning on me. “I have failed at everything. I can’t even make it
through a semester of college, let alone be a Luna. Now I can’t even keep your child alive.
Of course you see it. Everyone sees it.”
“Sees what?”
“That you made the wrong choice,” she bellowed. “You had the right sister all along. And
now that no one can deny that, you can get rid of me and take her back. Pick up right
where you left off.”

“What?” I yelled incredulously. “You think I want Kylee?”
I rushed towards her, reaching out to grab her. She tried to push me away. Flailing her
arms as she hit me. Agonizing so bs wracking her body as she cried. I managed to get my
arms around her and held her so tight I was afraid I’d break her. Tears streamed down my
face as I felt her body shake as she howled in pain.
We sank to the floor as I rocked her, waiting for her to calm enough that she could hear
me.
“Oh, love,” I said as I buried my face in her hair. “For how smart you are, you really are
being stu pid. How could you ever think that?”
“Don’t deny it…”
“Yes, I deny it. I deny it with every fiber of my being,” I insisted strongly. “How could you
ever think I would want her over you? That could never, ever happen, baby.”
“But she’s better…”
“Stop it,” I snapped. I gripped her face, making her look me in the eye. “Stop. Don’t do
this to me, baby. Please. I can’t lose you now. I don’t want her. I could never want her. I
want you. I need you. I need you so much.”
“But I’m so broken, Theo,” she gasped. “I lost our baby.”
“I know, love,” I forced through my own tears. “But you didn’t lose me. I know it hurts. I’m
hurting, too. But I swear you didn’t lose me.”
She held my gaze for a few moments before she fell against my chest, her arms clinging

letting our grief and pain out. Mourning our loss together.

We let our emotions run their course. At least for the moment. We both knew we had a
long road of healing ahead of us. But as long as I had her, I could get through it. I just
needed her.
I was leaning against our bed, stroking Ayla’s hair as she lay against my chest before I
finally spoke,
“Please don’t leave me, Ayla,” I said. “I know you need time, but we can get through this
together. Just don’t leave me.”
“I didn’t think you would want me anymore,” she whispered.
“I will always want you, love,” I insisted. “That will never change.”
She nuzzled into my neck.
“There is something I need to tell you,” I said hesitantly. I didn’t want to break that
moment, but I couldn’t put this off.
“Hmm?”
I took a deep breath and sat her up to face me. I brush a strand of hair from her face.
“We found out who gave you the wolfsbane,” I told her.
She stiffened. Her mood transforming instantly.
“Who?”
“It was Amy.”
