Chapter 84: Theo 

I opened my office door to find Kingston standing on the other side. I wasn’t in the mood, nor did I have the time, to deal with whatever he was there for. But before I could voice a protest he stopped me. 

“What do you need?” he asked. 

That was it. 

I paused for a moment. Then I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote down instructions, an address, and a time. I handed the paper to him. He looked at it and nodded. 

“Thank you,” was all I said before I brushed past him. 

Jimmy was right behind me. Annabelle was staying by to continue to monitor the security footage to see if she could identify whoever John was arguing with. I rushed down the stairs. Once we reached the lobby I was stopped dead in my tracks as my parents walked into the packhouse. They saw me and were immediately heading in my direction. My mother wrapped her arms around me and I inhaled sharply, trying to hold back the flood of emotions. 

I took a moment to hug her back, but not long. I pulled back. 

“Ayla is still at the hospital,” I said. “I have something I need to take care of.” 

“Theo,” my mother hissed. “What dare you…” 

“Grace,” Dad said calmly, resting a hand on her shoulder, “let him go. We’ll be here when you’re ready.” 

I gave my father a grateful look. Hating that I had to leave. Having them home was more of a relief than I thought. But I needed to take care of this. I headed out of the packhouse and got into my car Once Jimmy was in, I peeled out of the lot. 

“Have you talked to Maggie?” Jimmy asked, breaking the heary silence. 

I sighed. “No, I haven’t,” I replied. “How is she handling this? 

“Not well,” Jimmy stated. “I think you need to call her in on this search.” 

“Will she even leave the hospital?” 

Jimmy nodded. “Yeah,” he said flatly. “She’ll want to find this bastard.” 

I thought about his advice as we made our way through the city. I pulled over at the curb in front of a duplex. My soul was already so heavy that day I wouldn’t have thought anything could weigh it down anymore. But the thought of the conversation I was about to have did 

I got out and walked up to the front door, knocking firmly. My jaw clenched as the door opened. 

“Alpha Theo?”” 

“Sarah, I need to know where John is.” 

Hurt and fear filled her face. She knew something was very wrong. We had talked several times about his recent behavior, but I hadn’t had the time to tell her about his connection with the Waar Pak. I don’t know if I would’ve had the heart to if I had. 

“What did he do?” Sarah croaked, stepping aside to let us in

“He attempted to poison Luna Ayla,” I said, 

Shock washed over Sarah. “No, that’s not possible,” she insisted. “I know he’s been acting a bit…” 

“We have proof, Sarah,” I interrupted. I sighed. “Right now, we just need to find him. We need to know who he was working with.” 

“I… He…” Sarah stuttered. “Is Luna okay?” 

“She’s alive,” was all I could say. “Where is he, Sarah?” 

“I don’t know,” she said. “I haven’t heard from him since yesterday morning.” 

“I need you to call him.” 

She nodded slowly, picking up her phone from a side table. “What’s going to happen to him?” 

I didn’t know what to tell her so I didn’t tell her anything. “Please, call him, Sarah.” 

Her eyes filled with tears as she clicked on his contact in her phone. She put it on speaker so we could hear the call ringing. He didn’t answer the first couple attempts but picked up on the third. 

“John, where are you?” Sarah asked, struggling to remain calm. 

“Sarah, I’m sorry,” he rushed, his tone genuinely pained. “I screwed I screwed up big time. I’m so sorry.” 

“John, slow down,” Sarah insisted. “What’s going on? What did you do?” 

“I… I can’t tell you,” John replied.

“John, come home,” she pled. “Please.” 

“I can’t, Sarah,” John said solemnly. “I’m sorry, but I can’t. I need to go away for a while. You can’t be seen with me. 

“John, where are you?” Saray pressed. 

” 

“I can’t tell you, Sarah,” he snapped. “You can’t help me. I just need to lay low for now. I’m so sorry. Just remember I love you.” 

The line went dead. Tears were flowing freely down Sarah’s cheeks. She knew this wouldn’t end well for him. 

“Sarah,” I asked, “where would John go?” 

“I’m not sure,” she said shakily. 

“Please, anywhere you can think of can help,” I assured her. 

“Um… there’s a cabin,” she said. “It’s out near the lake, about ten miles from your parent’s place, I think. I’m not sure, we haven’t been up in a few years. But it was his aunt’s.” 

“Thank you,” I said. “Is that the only possible place you could think of?” 

“Maybe the old fairgrounds,” she said. “That’s where we first met.” 

“Again, thank you,” I said. “And I’m sorry, Sarah. Truly, I am.” 

“So am I,” she replied painfully. 

I left Sarah’s place, sending Jimmy next door to have her neighbor come sit with her for a while. As I was waiting, my phone rang. It was Briggs.

“What’s wrong?I asked panicked. “Did something happen to Ayla?” 

“She’s fine,” Briggs said. “She’s about the same as when you left. But the doctor says she is stable enough to go home. He’s going to discharge her soon. I thought you would want to be here.” 

“Does…” I swallowed hard. “Does she want me there?” 

Briggs was silent for a moment, weighing his words as he did. 

“Theo, right now, I don’t think what she wants matters,” he stated. “At least, not regarding you. You need to be here. For both of you.” 

“I’m on my way.”
