“Darling, I am going to miss you so much. Be sure to call me if you need me because I will fly right back to you. Oh and please send me a voice message when you are going to bed. And one when you wake up in the mornings okay?” I should be packing the rest of my bag but I couldn’t stop hugging Ayla.
I didn’t want to tell her three weeks ago at the party but I hated the thought of leaving her. It would be the first time we would not be. sleeping in the same bed after she got home from the pack hospital. It brought back unpleasant memories. I knew this was totally different, she would be here at the castle and I would be with friends. We would be too far apart to mind link. But we could call and text and even video call in the moments when I was alone. Secondly, Ayla was one hundred percent sure she was safe inside the castle. Admittedly since being banned from the castle Cynthia had changed her tune.
It also meant that we had no reason to ban Cynthia from the castle- longer. Her ban was lifted yesterday and now I would be leaving Ayla behind for three whole days. A part of me was worried that Cynthia had just behaved to get access to the castle again. Same with her job outside. of the pack now. It was kind of Sam to ask, and I understood why Ayla did not want to disappoint him. I just didn’t agree with the logic of it being safer for Ayla if Cynthia would leave the pack from time to time. She suddenly had a friend outside of the pack–a co–worker of hers.
Both Sam and Ayla were happy for her, but most of the pack members still gave her the cold shoulder, and rightfully so. I appreciated how strict Sam had gotten with his daughter now, but she still was his only child. Even now that he and Eliza had finally started dating each other after the last party. Cynthia still was the person he loved most. Of. course, he pitied her for being more lonely than a wolf should be. But she brought it upon herself, and everyone seemed to understand so. Everyone but Ayla, who had always tried to see the best in others, even now with Cynthia. She didn’t say it out loud but I was sure she pitied

I wanted to be happy about it too but the fact was that I didn’t think Cynthia needed to have a friend who didn’t know how special the mate bond was. She didn’t need to spend hours and hours on end of pack ground. In the end, I had no say in the matter, and Ayla would only feel bad if she knew how worried I was. It would just stress her out and that s not good for her or our unborn pup. Therapy already was taking a lot out of her, so there was no way I would place this extra burden on her. If I ever found even the smallest sliver of proof that I could be right,about, my theories. If I had a lead that something was going on, something that might risk Ayla. I would always let her know right away, I didn’t want to stress her. But there was no way I was going to flat–out lie to her. Or keep her so in the dark it might be the thing to hurt her in the end.
I woke up from a nap, Ayla had told me she wanted to give me something to remember me by on my trip. She just planned to give me a
