Chapter 112: Ayla
I was smiling as I walked back to my apartment that evening. Despite being a little overwhelming, I had a good time with Grace planning the banquet for Saturday. She accepted my request to keep it casual, especially with it being such short notice. I even suggested doing something like a barbeque on the lawn, which she actually loved. Before I knew it, she had a bonfire, food, and entertainment planned
out.
I was texting Mina when someone called out to me.
“So, you’re really going through with this charade?”
Remembering the voice from earlier, I turned to see Amy standing in a doorway.
“What do you want, Amy?” I said politely. “I’m busy.”
“Oh, I’m sure you are, sl*t,” she snapped. “Off to go f*ck someone else’ s mate, I’m sure. Don’t let me stop you. I’ll make sure to get pictures to send to Alpha.” She pushed off the doorjamb. “Tell me, what is it like being with Alpha Theo knowing he f***ed your sister?”
“What is your problem with me?” I asked. “You met me what? One time? What could I have possibly done to make you think you know me?”
“I witnessed enough,” she said.
“Witnessed what?” I asked, my temper rising.
“Kylee said you were obsessed with her,” Amy sang. “Constantly calling her, getting into her business. Just so you could live through

her because you screwed up your own life.”
“Um, or I was checking in on her like a loving sister, making sure she had everything she needed. And I think it’s pretty funny that she was telling everyone I abandoned her, and now you’re saying I wouldn’t leave her alone. She can’t have it both ways, Amy.”
“And what did you ever provide for her?”
“Everything,” I spat, my hands clenching. “Food on the table, her education, the roof over her head. Hell, the roof over your head, if I’m not mistaken. Because last I checked, I paid for the house you all shared last year. Kylee never wanted for anything. Thanks to me.”
Amy’s expression was sour, but she didn’t seem to have a response to that.
Or at least I thought she didn’t.
I turned to leave, done with whatever this conversation was. Until she said something that almost had me ripping her throat out.
“Except a father,” Amy shot, stopping me in my tracks. “I hear that was your fault too.”
“What did you just say to me?”
“If it wasn’t for you, Kylee’s father would be alive,” she said. “I wonder if you actually set the whole thing up.
”
I was beside Amy in a blink, grabbing her wrist and wrenching her arm behind her back. I ignored her cries of pain as I started walking. I forced the mind-link wide open, connecting to anyone in
range.
‘If anyone has a problem with me or believes I’m selfish enough to steal my sister’s mate, come to the packhouse lobby.’ I didn’t miss the fear

that s***ed through Amy at my words. ‘I have someone you’ll want to talk to.’
I half-drug Amy through the halls. She continued to try to break free but wasn’t nearly strong enough or trained enough. There was already a crowd forming by the time we were descending the stairs. I pushed her forward, making her stumble down the last few steps and fall to the floor.
“Alright, Amy,” I said loudly, making sure my voice echoed, “here’s your audience. Tell them what you just told me.”
She dragged herself up on her hands, giving me a defiant glare. I felt everything build inside me. Months of rejection and lies coming to a head. A power flowed out of me I had never used before.
“TELL THEM,” I commanded.
Amy’s eyes went wide. “I said that she set up the explosion that killed her father.”
Audible gasps traveled through the room, followed by murmurs. I ignored them all. I stalked over to Amy and grabbed her hair, yanking her up to face everyone.
“Now tell them whether that was the truth or a lie,” I commanded
again.
She struggled to speak, but the words still sl*pped out. “It’s a lie.”
“Any other lies you want to clear up for all the lovely people, Amy?” She didn’t respond. “SPEAK.”
Her teeth were gritted as she mumbled, “She didn’t steal her sister’s mate.”

“I’m sorry. What was that? We can’t hear you.” I tightened my grip on her hair.
“She didn’t steal her sister’s mate.”
I threw her roughly to the ground and looked at the faces around me.
“I don’t care what you all believe I’ve done with the last ten years of my life,” I announced. “You can believe I was whoring myself to a pack of rogues for all I care. But let me make something perfectly clear right now. If I ever hear anyone say anything about my father or that I had anything to do with his death, you’ll be lucky if you live to regret it.” I saw Jimmy standing near the entrance, grinning from ear to ear. I
out
nodded to him. “Get her of here.”
He stalked up and grabbed her under the arms to help her up. She cried out as her ankle gave way under her.
“Take her to the infirmary to get that checked out,” I added. “Then send her home to her family.
”
As I turned to leave, I heard Amy again.
“Like fixing my leg will fool anyone into believing you care,” she mumbled.
“Did you really not learn your lesson?” I bellowed, turning on her again. “Because if showing you the literal meaning of ‘hold your tongue’ is the only way you’ll get it, I will.” She was cowering in front of me, trying to grab onto Jimmy’s shirt. “Be smart, Amy, and shut up. Now, go.”
I watched Jimmy carry Amy out, still feeling power coursing through my veins. Hands gently grabbed my shoulders. The tingling sensation they left told me exactly who it was.

“Ayla,” Theo said in my car. “You can relax now. Pull it back, baby. They see who you are.”
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, letting my b*dy relax. When I opened them, he was standing in front of me, brushing my cheek.
“You okay?”
I nodded. “Yeah, she just pi**ed me off,” I said.
“We saw that,” Theo laughed. “You ready to go-now?”
I nodded.
“Okay,” he said, putting an arm over my shoulder as he addressed the rest of the room. “I don’t think I need to tell the rest of you to go about your business.”
