“Don’t you even think about it, Torin Arden,” Grace said sternly. “You know you wouldn’t be able to watch a hog hunt. Your wolf would be taking over without a thought.”
“Nah,” Alpha Torin said. “He’ll be happy to watch Theo wipe the floor with the others.”
“He will do no such thing,” Grace said. “He’ll be with Ayla. I’m not letting my son abandon his mate at her introduction party for some convoluted show of masculinity. Now, stay out of my plans.”
Grace grabbed the folder she had miraculously put together already for the party planning and moved to the kitchen table. Alpha Torin looked at me and shrugged, giving me a wink.
“So, Ayla,” he said. “Where were we?”
“I think we’re just about done,” I informed him. “The only thing I can think of would be anything you hope to do with the rest of your time with us.”
“Oh, well, I’ve been lucky enough to have lived a pretty full life,” Alpha replied.
“Yes, I noticed,” I teased.
He chuckled.
“There is one thing I hope to do before I go,” he said. “I think you can help me with that, my girl.”
“I’d be glad to,” I said. “What is it?”

He crooked his finger for me to lean closer. “Hold my grandchildren.”
I felt my face turn bright red, but I couldn’t help the smile that pulled at my l*ps.
“Well, I think I’ll have to talk to your son about that first.”
“Talk to me about what?” Theo said from behind me, making me jump.
He had just come through the door and came straight over to me and his father.
“Oh, nothing,” I said. “Your dad just wants me to do something for him.”
Alpha Torin winked at me again.
“Well, it may have to wait.” Theo said. “Do you guys mind if I steal Ayla?”
My brow furrowed. I noticed that he was really tense. He was trying to hide it, but something was bothering him.
“I’m not going to stop you,” Alpha Torin replied. “We can finish this
conversation tomorrow.
“J
I shook my head as I stood up. Theo took my hand and led me out of his parent’s apartment. They had already moved out of the Alpha’s wing, which Theo and I were already starting to move into. But it needed some new furniture we were waiting on, so we would stay in my apartment until it was ready.
He didn’t say anything on the walk back, making me more worried. When we were back home, he just turned and k*ssed me. When he pulled away, he just looked at me, brushing my hair back and grazing his hands across my cheeks.

“Theo, what’s wrong?”
Taking my hand again, he led me to the sofa. He sat on the edge of the coffee table to face me.
“Ayla, we found out what Randall was looking for,” he said solemnly.
“That’s a good thing, isn’t it?” I asked.
He still held my hands, rubbing the backs with his thumbs.
“He’s working with the Waar P*k Society, Ayla,” Theo said.
He gripped my hands tighter as I felt myself go pale. Dasha actually came to the forefront of my mind, but I couldn’t react. Hearing the name of the group that murdered my family sent a wave of fear through me, followed by rage.
“Does he know who killed my father?” I asked.
“I don’t know,” Theo said. “We figured out from the documents we found in that room. I haven’t questioned him again yet. We have someone who can help make him be… more receptive. But that’s…”
“I want to speak to him,” I insisted, Dasha backing me up. “I want to hear what he knows.”
Theo shook his head. “I can’t let you do that, Ayla,” he told me.
I started to protest but he stopped me.
“There’s more you need to know,” he rushed, squeezing my hands tightly. “Baby, they’re looking for you.”
“What? Why me?”
“We’re still trying to figure that out. I’ve reached out for more

Onyxcrowns,” he said. “Until we know more, I need you to stay near the packhouse. If you need to go into the city, let me know. If I can’t go with you, I’ll have Jimmy or Briggs take you.”

I scoffed. “What are you going to tell your mother?”
He gave me a confused look.
“She planned to take me dress shopping tomorrow,” I said. “And what about Mina? Or Kylee? They’re Onyxcrowns too.”
“Mina is going to be working from the packhouse, too,” he confirmed. “And I already have someone watching your mother’s house and keeping an eye on Kylee.”
“I want to talk to him, Theo,” I said again. “If he’s locked up, what can he do to me? Who is he going to tell?”
“No, babe,” he said firmly. “That’s what he wants. Right now, he isn’t aware that we even know each other or where to find you. I want to keep it that way.”
“Do you plan on letting him go?” I inquired with attitude.
“No, of course not.”
“Then I’m going to speak with him,” I stated, standing from the couch.
Theo grabbed my wrist. “Ayla, please,” he asserted. He closed his eyes and sighed. “Okay.”
I sat back down, crossing my arms over my chest.
“Okay,” he conceded again. “I’ll take you to speak with him. Tomorrow.”

“Thank you,” I said.
Theo pulled me onto his lap. “I don’t like it,” he said. “But I’ll take you.”
“I just need to know, Theo.”
“I know,” he replied. “I’m just worried this is more dangerous than we realize.”
“There will always be some kind of threat, babe,” I said, running a hand along his chest. “Unless you want to send me away…”
“Absolutely not,” Theo growled, squeezing me tightly. “Never again. Whatever is going on, we’ll handle this together. You and me. I told you, we can make it through anything, love.”
I leaned in and k*ssed him, snaking my arms around his n*eck. I still felt Dasha with me. Fully with me.
‘Welcome back, girl.’
‘I’m here, Ayla,’ she replied.
I felt so many things coursing through me fear, rage, anticipation, intrigue, power. The electricity from Theo’s touch. Intoxication from his scent. Hope from my wolf.
It was exhilarating.
I shifted my position, straddling Theo as I deepened our k*sses.
“Take me to bed, mate.”
A rumble echoed in his chest. With me wrapped around him, he stood and fulfilled my command.
