Chapter 30: Ayla
Sunday had been amazing and exactly what both Theo and I needed. We spent most of the day talking. It was like our first days together. Before everyone knew about us, and we were just Theo and Ayla getting to know each other better.
But Monday came around, and it was time to return to real life.
Maggie was with me in my classes today, which was even more pleasant than I had expected. It wasn’t just because we got along so well. I no longer felt like I was drawing so much attention. Maggie wasn’t supposed to appear as a b*dyguard, and she didn’t. She blended right in as a fellow student. I had missed a couple of classes the week before, which I felt guilty enough about since it was the first week of the semester. But not feeling like eyes were on me allowed me to catch up in my first class quickly. I expected the same for Professor Armand‘ s class as we entered.
We weren’t the first to arrive by far, but we were still a few minutes early. Like I had with Jimmy, I let Maggie pick our seats to choose the most advantageous position. She picked the same general area that Jimmy had, and I smiled to myself. We took out our textbooks and laptops and were discussing an upcoming assignment when a familiar voice made my skin crawl.
“I guess I shouldn’t be surprised to see you here,” Amy said from behind my shoulder. “You really are so jealous of Kylee that you just stole her entire life.”
Maggie hadn’t even realized she was talking to me until I glanced over my shoulder.

“Hello, Amy,” I said casually. “I didn’t realize you were in this class.”
“Stealing her mate wasn’t enough. You had to steal her education, too?” she hissed.
Maggie started to turn around.
‘Don’t.‘ I mind–linked her. ‘It’s not worth it. I’m not even bothered.‘
‘Who the hell is that?‘ she replied. ‘And is she really talking to you?‘
‘Her name is Amy, and unfortunately, yes,‘ I told her. ‘She’s a friend of my sister’s. Just ignore her.‘
Professor Armand entered the lecture hall and greeted everyone. He was in an energetic mood, as usual. He jumped into the lesson for the day, and I was intrigued as he started to talk about ancient architecture. I remembered it was the professor’s research that had helped Briggs find Randy’s underground hideout.
I packed up and approached Professor Armand’s desk when the class
was over.
“Hey, Professor,” I said cheerily. “Thanks again for sending the information I missed last week. I really am sorry I missed the classes.”
“Not a problem at all, Luna,” he said with a smile.
“Alpha Theo and I would like to invite you to the packhouse this evening,” I said. “I know we talked about you helping us look into some information. If you think you can spare the time, we’d love to get you introduced to the project.”
His face lit up. “I would be delighted.”
“Wonderful,” I said. “We’ll meet you at the packhouse café at seven if

that works for you?”
“Sounds perfect,” he confirmed.
“So… who was that Amy chick and why was she being such a bitch?”
“You know I can’t let her talk to you like that again?” Maggie said sternly.
I shook my head. “Really, don’t even acknowledge her. I never really liked her to begin with, so what she thinks about me doesn’t mean anything. And we can’t risk you blowing your cover on her account. She’s no real threat. She probably won’t even bother with me after
