Chapter 24: Ayla
The dress fitting went wonderfully. Mina looked stunning and was going to be breathtaking at her ceremony. We all teared up more than once. We went out to dinner after, where I toasted my amazing cousin Mina, Annabelle, Maggie, and I went back to my apartment after dinner for a few drinks. We invited Luna Grace to join us, but she regretfully declined so she could get back to Alpha Torin.
We were sharing stories when Theo called. I grabbed my phone and rushed to the bedroom.
“Hey, babe. How is everything going?” I answered eagerly.
“Hey yourself,” he replied. I could hear the smile in his voice. “Things are… complicated. We’ve hit a bit of a roadblock.”
“Oh no,” I said worriedly.
“It’s okay,” Theo assured me. “It actually means I’m coming home tonight.”
“Really?” I asked excitedly.
“Yeah, but we have to transfer two of the rogues up there,” he said seriously. “It’s a long story and I’ll tell you when I get back. But I’m just getting the prisoner transfer secured, and then we’re going to head out.”
I glanced at the clock.
“It’s already getting pretty late, Theo,” I replied. “Are you sure you’re going to be okay to make the drive? I’d rather you got some sleep and

left in the morning.”
“I wouldn’t,” I teased. “I’m not sleeping any better than you are, baby. Besides, Will and I are trading off. I’ll be fine. I promise.”
“You better be,” I warned. “I’m ready for you to be home, but I need it to be in one piece.”
“I know, babe,” he chuckled. “I know. But let me get this finished up so we can be done. I’ll let you know when we’re on the road. I love you.”
“Love you, too,” I said.
I hung up the phone and was instantly in a better mood. I rejoined the group, falling onto the couch.
“And here’s the luckiest female in the pack,” Annabelle said. “How is our super S**y Alpha?”
“Annabelle,” I exclaimed. “What would Matthew think?” I teased.
“Exactly what he already knows,” she said. “That I have fantasized about our Alpha whenever I’m mad at him.”
“Annabelle,” I said again as the others laughed.
“Don’t worry,” she continued. “I don’t do it anymore. It lost its appeal when I saw how crazy he was about my best friend.”
My face turned red as I sipped my wine.
“Hey, that doesn’t mean we’re not all still wondering,” Mina said, shifting on the couch to face me. “How is he?”
“Oh, my goddess,” I groaned as I covered my face.

“Ayla, sweetie,” Mina said, “I love you, and I realize you aren’t used to this kind of girl talk, but… it’s time to spill.”
“Luna, don’t let them pressure you,” Maggie said sweetly. “But if you want to share… I don’t think anyone here is going to stop you.”
We all laughed.
“Fine,” I said, setting my wine glass on the coffee table. “He’s fantastic.”
I didn’t know a person could make the sounds that came out of their mouths. They giggled and teased and continued to make inappropriate comments about our S** lives.
“What about you, Maggie?” Annabelle asked. “Anyone you’ve been passing the time with?”
Maggie hesitated.
A twinge tugged at my chest as I thought about Emma. I missed her. We still talked once or twice a week, but it wasn’t the same. We kept saying we would plan a trip to see each other. However, we both knew
how difficult that would be with the way things were between Kingston and Theo. I knew she would always be welcome here. That wasn’t a concern at all. But whether Kingston would give her a hard time or try to put her in a position she didn’t want to be in was a concern for both of us. So, for now, I just had to be content with our phone calls.
