Chapter 105: Ayla
I talked to Mina about how to approach Kylee about me and Theo. I knew it wouldn’t be
easy, and it would take time for us to work toward repairing our relationship. But I needed
to do it.
“I know it’s not what you want to hear, honey,” Mina said, “but that conversation won’t
end well. Kylee still thinks she can get Theo back. It’s pretty annoying. That’s why I have
limited contact. I’m just checking in to make sure they aren’t starving. But when she finds
out about you and Theo, she’s going to blame you. One hundred percent.’
”
My shoulders fell. I knew that was likely what would happen, but I had hoped she had at
least been trying to move on from Theo.
“Don’t get me wrong, Ayla,” Mina said sympathetically. “She’s wrong. Completely wrong.
And she has no right to be upset about this because of what she did to get with him in the
first place. But I want you to go into this with realistic expectations. And know that I
support you. Personally, I don’t think you owe her anything. But I understand why this is
important to you.”
“Thank you,” I said.
I tried to call Kylee that evening, but she didn’t answer. I didn’t know if she knew it was me
calling or not, so I called Ma. She did answer. It was an awkward conversation as she tried
to avoid discussing anything that had happened, including accusing me of stealing from
her. We didn’t talk long after she said Kylee wasn’t there.
I sent Kylee a text saying we needed to talk and that she could call me whenever. But she
never did. I kept trying for two days before finally resigning myself to drive down and see
her in person.

Theo and I had been avoiding being seen together since the packhouse incident. And
when we did run into each other, we kept our interactions formal. But it was anything but
a piece of cake. The sexual tension between us whenever we were in the same room was
torture. We tried to steal a few minutes in a secluded area the second day but came too
close to getting caught. And getting any decent sleep was proving to be impossible. So,
despite the rough visit returning home would be, not going wasn’t an option anymore.
‘Hey,’ I reached out through the mind-link, ‘are you going to be home later?’
‘Baby wherever you need me to be, I’ll be there,’ he replied enthusiastically. ‘I’ll clear the
packhouse if you want me to.’
suppressed a smile. ‘I don’t think that will be necessary. But I do want to see you.’
‘Is something wrong?’ he asked with concern.
‘Still no luck getting a hold of Kylee, I told him. ‘I think it’s time I drove down there.”
I could sense Theo’s sigh through the connection. He didn’t like the idea, but he wouldn’t
stop me, either.
‘Okay,’ he said. ‘When can I see you?’
‘I’m having lunch with Annabelle,” I said. ‘Give me an hour?’
‘Your apartment?’
‘Yeah,’ I confirmed.
‘I’ll be there,’ Theo agreed.

As soon as we broke the connection, Annabelle came out of the kitchen.
“Come on,” she said, giving me a hug. “I’ve got a table with some privacy.
I let her guide me toward the windows. There was a divider that separated a few tables
from the rest of the dining room. It was a nice little private corner that kept us out of sight
from any other pack members that came in. Annabelle said they reserved this area for
kitchen staff during the day unless the Alpha or other ranking members need it for
meetings.
While we were out of sight, the divider wasn’t a solid wall. I soon learned we could hear
other diners quite easily if they weren’t practicing discretion.
“You saw who showed up with Alpha Theo the day of the attack, right?” a female voice
drifted over.
“Girl, don’t even get me started with that,” another female said bitterly. “I knew she
sabotaged Kylee and his relationship out of jealousy, but I didn’t think she’d have the
nerve to actually f**k Alpha Theo.”
I froze. Meeting Annabelle’s gaze, I knew she had heard it too.
“If she hadn’t been such a sl*t when she was a teenager, she might have been able to find
a mate that wanted her,” the first voice stated. “Then maybe she wouldn’t feel the need
to ruin her sister’s love life. But what can you expect from someone so selfish?”
I grabbed Annabelle’s hand as it clenched into a fist, rage flashing through her eyes.
“Did she really break them up?” a third voice asked. “I heard Kylee got caught lying about
them being fated mates.”

“Yeah, okay, I wonder who started that rumor?” the first voice stated. “Ayla was so jealous
of Kylee that her younger sister
was going to be Luna that she went rogue. When she still couldn’t find a wolf that
wanted her, she took it out on Kylee. I just can’t believe the audacity of her showing up
here. Does she really think anyone will accept her back in the pack?”
“I’m sure Alph Theo is just using her anyway,” the second voice
chimed in. “He’ll be crawling back to Kylee in no time. Besides, Alpha Torin would never let
him mate with a wh**e like her.”
I begged Annabelle with my eyes not to do anything. Since we had reconnected, we had

I and what had happened with Kylee.
“If he even knows what’s going on,” the first said. “Kylee may be too nice to call her sister
out, but I’m not.
Oh, goddess, did that mean Kylee knew?
“Does she even know?” the third voice inquired. “Have you told her?”
“I’m not doing that to her, another said. “,”
poor, sweet girl has
been through enough. Hopefully, Theo will come to his senses, and she can be spared the
pain of her sister’s appalling behavior.”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
“You know that’s just wishful thinking, Amy,” the second voice said. “She’ll find out
eventually.”
”
Amy. I knew that name. That was one of Kylee’s roommates. She stayed with us once. I
didn’t like her then, and this certainly didn’t change that opinion. I sat up straighter on my
chair.

“Thank you so much for lunch, Annabelle,” I said clearly, giving her a wink. “I hate to eat
and run, but I’m meeting with Alpha Torin. I guess I have some extra things to discuss with
him about my behavior.”
Annabelle grinned as I pushed my chair back and stood. I made sure the she-wolves
sitting on the other side of the divider saw me leave. Even making eye contact with Amy
as I passed.
By the time I was halfway to my apartment, I realized my mistake. I tried calling Kylee
several times but still got no answer. I probably just ensured they would call and tell her
what was going on.
I started to panic.
