The Luna’s Choice (Theo and Ayla) by Kat Silver novel Chapter 229

Chapter 79: Theo 

I stood at the back of the banquet hall as I watched the room full of Alphas, Lunas, and other ranking pack members settle into their seats. Cooper and Randy had really come through for us the past few days. Now that they knew of Malcolm’s ties, they were able to compile an entire dossier on Charles Anderson and his connection to Waar Pak 

activities. 

Once he arrived in our territory, he was immediately sequestered and kept in a safe house and not allowed to leave. He was currently being escorted to the packhouse and would be arriving any minute. Until then, I was staying clear of the other Alphas. I had greeted them upon their arrival out of courtesy and respect, but I didn’t want to put myself in a position that would allow them to badger information out of me. 

Briggs went to the front of the hall to direct everyone to prepare to start the meeting. Just as he was greeting the group, Charles Anderson was brought through the door next to me. He noticed me first and stormed into the room. He was about to start speaking when he noticed the full banquet hall he had just entered. He scanned the faces and realization quickly dawned on him. 

“What is the meaning of this?” he whispered forcefully. 

I stepped in close to him, making sure no one could overhear. “Did you really think it would only be Malcolm on trial here?” I looked him in the eye. “The Waar Pak ends today.” 

Charles’s head snapped to the front of the room as Ayla’s voice reached us. She was addressing the pack leaders to formally begin the 

proceedings.

I stopped back from the podium as Theo took over. My heart was beating tot as my nerves ate at me. 

“You know we won’t let anything happen to you,” Kingston whispered 

Part of getting the Alphas to help take down the Waar Pak meant revealing my identity to them, and Kingston’s. There was no way of knowing if this would help or hurt us. I knew Harden had said the other packs were appalled by the Onyxerown massacre, but that was almost thirty years ago. 

“I’m more worried about what this information with do to our packs,” I said quietly. “Are we about to make more enemies?” 

Kingston sighed softly. “I don’t know,” he replied. “But Theo is right about keeping this a secret being a bad idea. If anything, we need to know where the other Alphas stand. Better the enemy you know, right?” 

“True”

“Her father couldn’t take us down and neither will she,” Charles growled low. “As long as a member of the Onyxcrown lives, we will hunt them down. She will not hold power over us. 

” 

“You’re right,” I said. “But everyone in this room does and I doubt they will be too pleased about your conspiring.” 

I signaled the guards to seat him as Ayla called me to the front of the banquet hall.

I stepped back from the podium as Theo took over. My heart was beating fast as my nerves ate at me. 

“You know we won’t let anything happen to you,” Kingston whispered 

next to me.

“Just…” Kingston began but paused. It was like he was struggling to find his words. That was the moment I noticed how tired and worn out he looked. “Whatever happens after today, just remember to trust me, okay? I will always protect you, Ayla.” 

I was about to ask what he was talking about but Theo’s voice broke our conversation as he told the room who I was. The room fell silent for a moment. It was Apha Weston of the Wildtail Pack who spoke first.
