Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Theo I think I was going through as many emotions as Ayla was by the time we made it back to the apartment. When Briggs told me Ayla had mind-linked half the pack, I didn’t know what to expect. I got to the lobby in time to see Ayla throwing Amy to the ground. I noticed Jimmy across the room and asked him what was going on. When he told me what Amy had said about Ayla’s father, I was about to execute her myself. But Briggs held me back. ‘She needs to handle this, man,’ he told me. I knew he was right. And Ayla was glorious. My beautiful mate exuded power as she solidified her position in the pack. But it was also a little terrifying. I had never seen a she-wolf with the kind of power Ayla had. Briggs had told me about the incident at the Alpha’s Gathering with Conner. How Ayla managed to command everyone to stop. He tried to play it off as an effect of such a tense situation, but what I saw from her today… That was something entirely new. And she didn’t even know she was capable of it. That was raw power let loose. She would need to learn to control that. “I guess that wasn’t the best introduction I could have made,” Ayla said, collapsing on the couch. “What?” I asked. “I probably looked like a raging b**ch to everyone,” she clarified. “Ayla, that was a perfect introduction,” I stated. “As you pointed out 0.00% 12:25 Chapter 113: Theo earlier, our relationship isn’t without scandal. Thanks to me. But you just put all of that to rest.” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

“I doubt that,” she said. “But thank you for trying to make me feel better.” “Trust me, babe,” I said. “You just showed the pack that you won’t put up with bullies, bigots, or liars. Amy doesn’t have the best reputation as it is. They knew she most likely provoked the incident.” I debated asking her about her ability, but I could tell she was tired. I didn’t mind a quiet evening with my mate, either. In fact, I was desperate for it. I slipped my fingers through her hair, letting the softness settle me. “I’m sorry I missed dinner,” I said. She smiled and tucked up under my arm. “It’s okay,” she said. “Honestly, I kind of want to feel like a boring normal couple tonight and just watch tv on the couch.” I chuckled. “That sounds pretty good to me. Why don’t you get changed.” “What about you?” she asked. “You should probably bring some clothes and stuff to keep here.” I smiled. “Or we could both move into our own apartment.” I laced my fingers with hers. “I hear the Alpha’s suite will be vacant pretty soon.” “Really?” “Mhmm,” I confirmed. “There’s enough room to bring all your things. You won’t have to live out of a suitcase anymore, babe.” She looked up at me. “I don’t really have any things. I didn’t really care 22.27% 12:25 Chapter 113 Theo about anything I left behind at the house and…” A sadness settled in her expression. “What is it, sweetheart?” She shrugged. “I lost everything else. “What do you mean?” I asked. “The rest is with Kingston,” she stated. “It’s not much. Mostly just keepsakes, like the first prints of my books and some photos. But he’s not about to send anything back to me, and I don’t think it’s a good

idea to go there. So, it’s all gone.” I shook my head. “No,” I told her. “What do you want back?” “Babe, it’s fine,” she insisted. “No, Ayla,” I argued. “It’s not. If Kingston doesn’t return your belongings, I’ll find someone who will. What do you want back?” She sighed. “Mostly, I just want my dad’s ring and his ashes back,” she said quietly. My body tensed. “He won’t give your father back?” “Only if I go get them,” she clarified. “But I’m not. I shouldn’t have mentioned it. I’ll find a way to get them back. I just don’t have the energy to worry about it tonight.” I sighed, pushing my anger down as best I could. Before, I could at least admit my opinion of Kingston was a petty dislike. Hating him because of my own screw-up. But now the bas**rd was holding her dead father’s ashes and a family heirloom over her? Just because she left him. And I still think he was using her somehow because of her family history. 44.36% 12:25 Chapter 113. Theo I wasn’t going to let that go. But I would leave it for another day. If my mate wanted a relaxing evening in, that’s what she would get. “Okay,” I said, kissing her head. “We’ll drop it for now. Go on and get changed. I’ll find us a movie.” She got comfortable and settled on the couch, cuddling against me. We watched a couple movies. Although, she only made it about fifteen minutes into the second before she fell asleep. There was something about the normalcy that left me in awe. Having her in my arms, being able to watch her sleep, and just being together because I’m the person she wants to be with was more than I could have imagined. couldn’t fathom how I could have ever thought it would be possible to have this with anyone else. Thinking back, it was like I was a completely different person. My time with Kylee had always been a bit

hot and cold. There were times when I couldn’t get enough of her, her scent was intoxicating, and it was like I had tunnel vision. At other times, I had a hard time mustering any interest. A few times, I felt like I just needed to be free of her, and then suddenly, I needed her with me. But I could never explain why. With Ayla, I knew exactly why I wanted her. And it wasn’t the mate bond. That made our connection more intense, of course. But it wasn’t why she meant so much to me. She was everything I imagined my mate would be. She was smart, strong, kind, empathetic, and generous. She valued hard work and believed in creating your own opportunities. She was more beautiful than I could have ever thought possible, and every part of her fit with me like a puzzle. But she was still full of surprises in ways I didn’t think would ever become predictable. I didn’t think I could have made a mate more perfect, 66.21% 12:25 Chapter 113: Theo I picked her up from the couch and carried her to the bedroom, tucking her under the covers. I stripped down to my boxers and climbed in with her, pulling her against my chest. I found myself praying to the moon goddess again, thanking her for allowing me this second chance. 95.46%
