Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Ayla We were about halfway back when I heard Kingston call my name. I turned as he approached.

“Can I have a minute?” he asked, looking between Theo and me.

Theo’s arm tightened around my waist.

“It’s okay, Theo,” I said. “I’ll be right there.”

He exhaled loudly. “I won’t be far.”

“Never thought otherwise,” I replied with a smile.

He kissed my hair and left us in the hall, but not before shooting Kingston a warning look.

“What is it, Kin?” I asked.

“I wanted to apologize,” he said gently. “My behavior has been... deplorable, to put it nicely.”

I crossed my arms around me. “I’m not going to argue with you.”

“I hope you can understand that I wasn’t myself,” he continued. “I still care deeply for you, Ayla. That hasn’t changed.”

“But I have,” I insisted.

“I know,” Kingston acknowledged. He stepped closer, reaching out to take my hand. “I believe this is yours.” He set my father’s ring in the palm of my hand. “I shouldn’t have kept it from you.”

He continued to hold my hand. “I haven’t given up, Ayla,” he whispered. “If you think he’s the one you need right now, then so be it. But I’ll be here when you’re ready to come back.”

“Theo isn’t for right now, Kingston,” I stated. “He’s forever for me.”

Kingston sighed with a bitter expression. “You better get back to him then.”

I shook my head. “Take care of yourself, Kingston.”

“We’ll be seeing each other soon,” Kingston said. “You guys are going to need my help with the Waar P*k.”

Releasing my hand, he walked away.

I went to the end of the hall and smiled, leaning against the wall.

“I guess he behaved well enough,” I said, knowing Theo was just around the corner. “Since he’s walking away in one piece.”

“He was pushing it,” Theo said, stepping in front of me and pulling me against him. “You saved him with the whole ‘forever’

thing.”

I chuckled as he kissed me.

“Now, can we go?” he asked. “I’m exhausted.”

“Ugh,” I groaned, laying my head on his chest. “Me too.”

We made it back out of the ruins. Theo told me we would be taking a helicopter to Blue Fang territory to a safe house where Alpha Harden would meet us later. Kylee and Ma were taken there earlier to be looked after. Theo helped me onto one of the offroad vehicles brought 20.46%

I woke up with Theo wrapped around me, snoring softly. I smiled and snuggled into him. Until my stomach let out an awful grumble, reminding me I hadn’t eaten in days. Kylee had said I had been in and out of consciousness before I woke completely.

Harry had at least fed me water during that time. But now my body was demanding food.

“I’ll get you something to eat,” Theo murmured. I hadn’t even noticed he woke up. “You rest a while longer.”

I shook my head. “I’m awake now.”

We climbed out of bed, Theo never letting go of my hand, and went down the small hallway to the kitchen. There was a note on the counter from Alpha Harden letting us know there was a selection of take-out in the fridge for us when we were ready.

I groaned as I pulled out several containers of pasta. “I love that man,’ I said.

“Baby, those are fighting words,” Theo replied. “Should I be jealous?” He pinned me against the counter, caging me between his arms.

“Only if this lasagna is better than yours,” I teased.

He leaned over and popped a container open. “I think I’m safe,” he commented, taking my mouth with his.

We were interrupted by the sound of a door opening. We both looked to see Kylee standing in the doorway to what must have been a second bedroom. She looked a little shocked herself. But as she looked between me and Theo, I wasn’t sure if it was because she wasn’t expecting to see me, Theo, or both of us together. Whatever look it was, it bothered me.

She retreated back into the room and shut the door. Theo and I both sighed as I rested my forehead on his chest.

“What are we going to do about them?” I asked.

“Whatever you want,” Theo stated.

“I don’t know what I want,” I replied as much to myself as to Theo. “We had a... conversation – I guess you could call it that were being held.”

“And?” Theo pressed as he dished food out to be heated.

when we “And I’m not sure it resolved anything,” I said. I smirked a little. “Although, I think that was the first time I never held my feelings back from them.”

Theo chuckled. “I wish I had seen that. Especially if your confrontation. with Kylee at the packhouse was you holding back.”

“I don’t know,” I stated. “I was a bit brutal.”

“It’s not your fault if honesty hurts,” Theo said with a shrug. “But it’s up to you, Ayla. Whatever you feel you need to do, I’m one hundred percent behind you.”
