The Luna’s Choice (Theo and Ayla) by Kat Silver novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Ayla
“Briggs said they just found something we need to see,” Theo said. “Kingston is on his way out to také us.”
“Kingston is with Briggs?” I asked, shocked.
“Alpha Amvorov helped us find you,” Randy said.
I could tell Theo wasn’t happy about the situation, but he was murderous. So I was grateful I hadn’t told him what happened the last time I was in Sablemane.
“Do you think you’re up for it?” Theo asked me. “If not, I’ll let Briggs handle it.”
“I’m fine,” I said.
And honestly, I was. Besides being pretty sore from being tied up for days, I felt like I had caught a second wind. I knew I probably needed the rest more, and it would likely come back to bite me later, but I wanted to find out whatever we could while we were here.
Theo looked at me hesitantly.
“Really,” I insisted. “I’m fine.”
Theo k*ssed my cheek before standing. He pulled a shirt on and then grabbed my hand. We were heading for the entry point when Kingston emerged. His eyes immediately went to me.
“Are you okay?” he asked, trying to mask the sadness in his voice as his eyes fell to my hand in Theo’s.

“I’m good,” I said. “Thank you for helping.”
He gave me a strange look. “Did you think I’d be anywhere else?”
“What is it you need to show us, Amvorov?” Theo interrupted.
Kingston shot him a look but quickly cleared his expression. “We found a… lair, I guess you could call it. Looks like your old Beta has been busy. Ayla doesn’t need to see this.”
Theo raised an eyebrow.
“After what I’ve been through this week,” I interjected, “I’m pretty sure I can handle it.”
Theo smirked and Kingston’s jaw tightened as Randy joined us.
“Are we going to need any equipment for this?” he asked, slinging a backpack over his shoulder.
“No,” was all Kingston said before turning around and heading back inside.
Randy whistled lowly. “He sure is holding a torch for you,” he stated quietly. “I’m glad I’m not an Alpha.”
He gave me a wink before following Kingston inside. Theo shook his head and squeezed my hand, leading me ahead of him. I didn’t know how long it would take us to get to this lair, but I was glad Randy was with us. I knew I didn’t have the strength to deal with Theo and Kingston alone.
Luckily, we didn’t have too far to go. We entered what, I believed, was once a living quarter. Briggs rushed up and gave me a big bear hug, lifting me off the ground.

“I’m glad my mate doesn’t have to kill me for letting anything happen to you,” he teased.
“You know you love me,” I joked back.
The room was lit up by stand lights that I guess had already been here, along with a generator in the corner. There was furniture piled up on one side next to a bed with moth-eaten blankets. The fact that it seemed it had been slept in made me cringe.
But the other side of the room, that made my skin crawl.
The place was bigger than I had expected. There was a corner with a workstation filled with various chemicals and electronics. There was a desk covered in papers, many tacked up on the wall above it. Then…
Then there was the wall dedicated to me.
It was like a shrine. Pictures of me at all ages. Some that had to have been stolen. I stepped closer and swallowed a gasp. There was a picture of me and Theo from the night we were together at the lake. I snat**ed it off the wall and tore it up. Theo’s arm went around my waist, pulling me away.
“I know you’re upset, baby,” he said gently.
“I’m pis**d off,” I retorted. I was fuming. “That bas**rd had to taint everything. I have half a mind to storm down the hall and kill him again. In fact, a broken neck is too good for that ps***o. I’m going to tear him into pieces.”
Theo grabbed me as I started heading for the door.
“Sweetheart,” he said calmly, snaking his arms around me, “we don’t need to waste time mutilating dead bodies. Just breathe.”

I took a few deep breaths, leaning into my mate.
“Is this Dasha?” Kingston asked quietly, looking at a picture of my golden wolf.
“Yeah,” I nodded.
Randy tsked, shaking his head. “That’s disappointing.”
“What?” I said a little defensively. Theo’s and Kingston’s attention both snapped to him as well.
“I would have preferred to see her for the first time in person,” he replied with another wink. “I’m sure the camera can’t do her justice.”
“I can attest to that,” Theo agreed.
“So, do we have any idea what the rest of this is?” I asked, moving to the desk. “Do we think we’ve got anything useful?”
“There’s no way to tell yet,” Randy said, picking up vials and checking labels. “There’s no point bringing a team out here. Our best bet is to load up what we can and go over it later.”
“We’ll take it back to the Greytooth packhouse,” Theo said. “I’ll have a home base set up in the cellar. I’m sure I can put Mina on this full-time for now.

I picked up a notebook from under a pile of papers. It looked to be a journal. Although not much of it seemed coherent. It could be coded. Harry was out of his mind, but he wasn’t unintelligible-ramblings- crazy.
I tucked the journal under my arm and began helping the others put things in boxes we had found. It took longer than expected as we tried to keep things somewhat organized. I was starting to feel the week

catching up with me.
“Come on, babe,” Theo said. “They can finish this up. Let’s get you out of here.”
I nodded. I didn’t know where we were going exactly. We weren’t exactly close to civilization. But I didn’t care as long as it had a clean bed big enough for me and my mate.
