The Luna’s Choice (Theo and Ayla) by Kat Silver novel Chapter 132

Chapter 1*2: Briggs
We debated whether to turn back or to try to continue forward. The others weren’t keen on leaving their Alpha down there and figured our best chance of finding him again was to press forward. I agreed that would be the best option. So we started to traverse the tunnels to the best of our abilities.
Kingston insisted we wouldn’t have to go through any of the doors to get to the surface, but it wasn’t long before we felt like we were just going in circles somehow. Theo mind-linked to say he found Ayla, and they were safe now. Harry was dead, and there was a support team waiting outside. Meanwhile, I was trying to keep the men from panicking when we heard Kingston calling.
us. With
With one of them linking with him, we started shining our lights down tunnels for him to find us. I noticed a light moving ahead and went in that direction. Eventually, Kingston appeared from around a corner.
“Have a nice adventure?” I joked, only a little passive-aggressively.
“I’ve got the way up,” he replied. “Let’s go.”

We rushed after him. Not sure how long it was until we finally came to a stairwell leading out.
“I’m not sure what we’ll find up there,” Kingston said. “This leads up to a housing section.”
“Theo said there was a lot of structural damage on that side,” I informed him. “So we’ll need to be careful.”
Kingston nodded and we headed to the floor above us. We were led up

to what looked like an old ser**nts’ passage. One wall was lined with doors. We checked to see if we could make it through any of them. Several didn’t open, while the others led to impassable rooms.
We finally found one that seemed navigable. But as soon as Kingston walked in, I saw his shoulders tense.
I followed him in and immediately saw the cause.

I picked my mate off the floor and carried her out of the room. She clung to me as I navigated the way out. We had found an easy way out before finding Ayla, which I was grateful for at the moment. I don’t know if I could have gotten her out from the second floor.
It was still night, but the front of the building was lit up with reinforcements.
As we exited the building, Kylee came running up, wrapping a blanket around Ayla to cover her. I put her feet on the ground. They cried as they held each other. Their mother coming to join in.
“Ladies, she needs to be checked over,” I insisted.
Kylee and Marie backed away but hovered close by as I took her to one of the medics that Alpha Harden had brought with him. I tugged on a pair of sweats before helping Ayla get dressed. What we brought swallowed her, but it was better than nothing. After that night, I wouldn’t have been able to handle all these males’ eyes on her.
One of the medics looked her over while another kept trying to tend to my shoulder wound. When I waved him off again, Ayla gave me a look. I huffed, throwing my leg over the stretcher and tucking in

behind her. It gave my medic the access he needed without getting in the way of the other checking her.
“Happy?” I whispered in her ear with my hands on her waist.
She chuckled softly.
“Okay,” the medic attending her said as he finished bandaging her wrists. “I’d like to get her started on an IV, but we’ll have to do that when we get back to the helicopter. But I think she’ll survive.”
He smiled at her kindly.
“Thank you,” Ayla replied sweetly.
I leaned in and k*ssed the back of her neck. I felt something strange. I pushed her hair back and found a patch at the base of her skull.
“Hold still, baby,” I warned her. “This may hurt a little.”
“Ow,” she cried as I pulled the patch off, revealing a needle that had been inserted into her. She leaned back. “What the hell was that?”
I showed her the device as Randy came up to us. I looked up at him.
“We found one of these on you after your attack at the packhouse,” I told her.
“What is it?” she asked, picking it up.
I looked at Randy, wondering the same thing.
“We think it’s a neural blocker,” he said. “It’s designed to block mind- links.”
Ayla looked up at me. “I couldn’t connect to anyone. Not even Kylee or Ma.”

I didn’t want to think about the implications right then. But this meant that Harry was working with the Waar P*k. Randy seemed to have the same thought because he gave me a concerned look. We would have to look into this quickly, including searching the ruins for anything he may have had here.
“Did Harry tell you anything?” I asked Ayla. “Maybe about working with the Waar P*k?”
Ayla leaned back against me. “He told me plenty,” she said
indignantly. She turned her head to look at me. “He was drugging you.”
“What?”
“He said he was drugging you,” she said. “I don’t know how or with what, but he made it sound like it was messing with your head. That’s why you rejected me.”
“He rejected you?” Randy shot.
He didn’t look impressed with me at that moment. I shook my head once in a warning, wrapping my arm around Ayla’s waist instinctively.
“We rejected each other,” Ayla clarified. “It’s a long, convoluted story.”
I noticed Ayla glance in her sister’s direction. I squeezed her hand.
“I guess that explains how you ended up in Sablemane,” Randy said. “What did you say this Harry guy did outside of pack duties?”
“He was a chemical engineer,” Ayla said.
“He worked in a lot of research and development,” I stated. “I don’t remember his specialty. Dad will know.”

“We’ll have to go back and search his properties again,” Randy said. “It sounds like he’s been working on some side projects.”
I was agreeing with him when Briggs came through the mind-link.
‘Hey, Theo, we made it out of the tunnels, and there’s something you need to see.’
