Chapter 104: Theo
I collapsed beside her on the bed, holding her to me, our breathing ragged and heavy.
Despite the pleasure I was feeling, I couldn’t help thinking about how close I came to
marking her. Knowing she wanted me made it harder to resist. And Kieran wasn’t any
help.
I didn’t know how much longer I could hold out.
“Ayla,” I whispered.
“Hmm…” she hummed.
“Do you think you’ll be able to talk to Kylee before the Alpha ceremony?” I asked, my
fingers trailing along her arm.
“Probably,” she murmured sleepily. “The sooner, the better, I suppose. Why?”
“Because I want it to be your ceremony, too.”
She pushed up, looking at me with a confused expression that was so da*n adorable.
“What are you talking about?” she asked.
I chuckled. “I want it to be your Luna ceremony,” I clarified. “And my Alpha ceremony. And
our mating ceremony. Everything. I don’t want to spread it all out. I want us to start the
next part of our lives
together.
”
“Can we even do that?”
“If you’re ready for it,” I said, brushing her hair back. “Just think about

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtit, okay? Let me know what you want after you speak with Kylee.”
The ceremony was only three weeks away, but I didn’t care what it took to make the
changes happen. If Ayla said she wanted it, it would happen. But it was all up to her. I just
had to pray that Kylee wouldn’t try to hurt her for this.
“Maybe I should come with you,” I suggested. “We can talk to her together. Or I can talk to
her. This is all my fault for being with her in the first place.”
Ayla hugged my chest but shook her head. “No, I need to do this. But thank you.”
She snuggled closer. We were both exhausted, and I started to drift off, completely
content with my mate’s head on my chest and her leg draped over my waist.
“What time is it?” Ayla asked before I fell asleep.
“Hmm? I’m not sure,” I replied. “After midnight, at least.”
She let out a deep sigh. “You should probably go,” she said sadly. “We won’t be avoiding
any rumors if you’re caught leaving my rooms in the morning.”
“We won’t be avoiding rumors if I’m caught leaving in the middle of the night,” I teased.
“But you’re right. We may have to stay away from each other for the next few days to
make this work.”
I hated the thought of it. My chest tightened painfully at not being able to be with Ayla
now. But I knew it would be necessary.
“I know,” she agreed. “All my stuff is still at the lake house anyway. I might need to stay
there.”

“No,” I said firmly. “It’s too secluded up there. I don’t want you up there with this stalker
after you. My parents are staying here for the next week or so anyway. I’ll have someone
bring your stuff to you in the morning. We’ll manage.”
“Will we?” she teased.
My lips twitched up and I kissed her hair. “Yeah, after what we’ve been through already,
this will be a piece of cake.”
Ayla laughed. “If you say so. But you should still go.”
“Shh,” I said. “I’ll leave after you’re asleep.”
She didn’t protest. It didn’t take long, and I know I stayed longer than I needed to, but I
couldn’t feel bad about it. I tucked her under the covers and somehow found the strength
to leave, heading to my own room in the next wing. When I made it back, I sensed
someone inside.
I opened the door. “Dad?”
My father was sitting in the armchair near the small bookcase. He was looking at a framed
picture he was holding. I was initially worried, but his energy felt calm, peaceful even.
“Everything okay, Dad?”
“Have you fixed it?” he asked without looking up.
“Fixed what?” I replied, confused.
“I know about you and Ayla,” he replied calmly. “I thought something was going on, but I
didn’t want to hope.”
“Dad, I… How?” I questioned.

“I thought it was just wishful thinking on my part. My mind wanting me to see things that
weren’t there,” he explained. “But then I felt her rejoin the pack today. I knew it was her.”
“Yeah,” I confirmed happily. “It was her.”
“I asked your mother if she knew anything,” he said, giving me a stern look. “She wouldn’t
tell me much. Only that the situation got messy and you were fixing it. So, did you fix it?”
I grinned. “Yeah, Dad. I fixed it,” I said. “Well, most of it. The most important part.”
He smiled at me. “So, do I have a new daughter-in-law?”
Maughed, taking a seat across from him. “Not just yet,” I said. “But
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsoon. We have a couple things to take care of first.’
”
“I promised your mother I wouldn’t ask what happened,” he said. “And I won’t. All that
matters is that you and Ayla found each other.”
I nodded, grateful he didn’t push for an explanation.
He set the picture he was holding back on the shelf. “So, what are you doing with Randall
Fallweather?”
I shook my head, admiring how easily he could shift from father to Alpha.
“We started questioning him today, but he’s not talking,” I said. “I can command him, but
he’s not a Greytooth. He doesn’t seem that strong, but we’ll have to see. I don’t think he
did this on his own.”
“But we suspect a motive behind this, right?”
“He’s looking for something specific.” I stated. “We know he’s looking

for information. We don’t know what that information is or why he wants it. He’s been
working with Professor Armand since he’s been here. We’ve talked to him before, but I’m
bringing him in tomorrow to see what he can tell us.”
“And you don’t suspect him of being involved?” my father asked.
“I didn’t sense anything that indicated that he was,” I said. “But I wanted to ask you what
you thought. You know him better than I do. Do you think we should be looking eloser at
him?”
“He’s well-respected at the college,” Dad said. “He was born a Greytooth. He’s a few years
older than me, but I knew him casually in our younger years. But I can’t say either way. I
can say that we can’t give anyone the benefit of the doubt just because they are a pack
member.”
I nodded. “I’ll keep an eye on him.”
