Chapter 33: Ayla
I spent the last two evenings going through my dad’s box with Professor Armand. He was very impressed and excited about the selection of books. I didn’t show him Harry’s notebook just yet. There were some references that I had deciphered that I wasn’t sure about, and I wanted to see if we could find the information by chance.
I met Maggie in the packhouse lobby on Wednesday to head to campus. I was feeling a little anxious, but I didn’t know why. Dasha seemed to be feeling it, too, as she paced in my head. I asked her what
was up.
‘Mate,‘ she whined.
It had only been a few hours since we saw him after training that morning. He was in a great mood, so I didn’t know what could be stressing her. But to assuage her concern and mine, I reached out to Theo through the mind–link.
‘I’m heading to class, babe. Everything okay?‘
‘Yeah, all is good here, love. I have to run an errand out of town, but I should be back in a couple hours,‘ he replied. I could feel excitement pulsing through our connection. ‘Have a good day at class.‘
‘It’s a good errand, I’m guessing?” I followed up.
‘It’s a great errand,‘ he said almost giddily. ‘I’ll tell you about it tonight‘
‘Okay, just be careful,‘ I said. ‘Dasha’s a bit anxious this morning. She’s worried about you two.‘

‘Tell her we’ll be just fine,’ he chuckled. ‘I’ll message you as soon as I‘
m back.‘
‘Okay,‘ I replied with a smile. ‘I love you.’
‘Love you, too, baby.‘
We disconnected the mind–link and I pulled out of the packhouse grounds. I calmed Dasha, letting her know that everything was fine. She calmed down for a while but stayed near the surface of my mind throughout the day. I was starting to feel anxious again when Theo messaged that he was home, and everything went great. But Dasha still didn’t calm down, and I began to get a headache. Luckily, we were heading to the last class for the day.
“Everything okay?” Maggie asked.
“Yeah, Dasha is in a mood today,” I said. “I’m going to run to the restroom real quick. I’ll meet you back out here.”
“Okay,” she replied.
We weren’t far from Professor Armand’s classroom and were a few minutes early, so I had time. I dipped inside and was grateful that there wasn’t anyone else in there. I turned on the tap and wet a paper towel with some cool water, pressing it to my forehead. The headache wasn’t that bad, but I was having trouble focusing. Although, that could have been because of Dasha. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
‘Mate,‘ she said again.
‘He’s fine, Dasha,‘ I said frustratedly.
I threw the towel in the trash and straightened myself out. I would be home in a couple of hours and we’d see Theo. She could wait until then. I was leaving the bathroom when I heard a familiar voice just

outside.
“I’m just trying to look out for you, Maggie,” Amy said sweetly. “She’s not who you think she is. She tries to act all innocent, but if she’s so innocent, where is her sister? I haven’t heard from her in over a month. Not since she confronted Ayla for stealing Alpha Theo from her.”
“Luna Ayla is Alpha Theo’s fated mate,” Maggie snapped. “Kylee had no right to be with him in the first place.”
“So, Ayla says,” Amy insisted.
“So Alpha Theo says,” Maggie hissed.
I don’t know why I was getting so angry. Yes, what Amy was saying was insane, but I had gotten over her crap. No one really cared what she had to say. But I felt my body start to get hot as my rage grew.
“Regardless, fated mates or not, she’s an awful person,” Amy said. “She’s a liar and selfish. She only wants to be Luna for…”
“Okay, Amy,” I said firmly, stepping out of the bathroom. “I suggest you shut your mouth and move on. I am not in the mood to deal with your shit today.”
“It’s hard hearing the truth, isn’t it?”
“You have no idea what you’re talking about,” I replied. “You’re just an ignorant little girl who can’t get over the fact that the girl she followed around like a puppy turned out to be a lying brat.”
“That’s some way to talk about your own sister,” she snarled. “Where is Kylee, anyway? How did you manage to get rid of her? Did you…”
My body flushed with heat. I could feel sweat break out on my forehead as Dasha began panting and pacing in my head. I wanted

Theo. No. I needed Theo. Dasha needed Kieran. I barely registered the curse that escaped Maggie as she was suddenly dragging me across the campus.
‘All females and mated males in the western quad,‘ her voice sounded through the mind–link, ‘protect your Luna. All unmated males clear the area between the quad and parking lot C.‘
I saw groups of males and females start to circle us, staying close. A few would disappear, holding back males that began to charge us.
“Maggie, what’s going on?” I asked quietly, my stomach tied in knots as my temperature rose.
“You’re going into heat, Luna,” she replied. “Just stay close to me and give me your keys.”
Shit. This wasn’t good.
I had never experienced a heat before. She–wolves didn’t go into heat until they became sexually active. Even then, it wasn’t often until they were marked. But when they went into heat, they had to mate. If they didn’t, it was extremely painful, and the condition would last for days. To ensure a mating, any unmated male would sense a female in heat and could go into a frenzy if they lost control. That’s why campus security was required to consist of females or mated males. They couldn’t have their own guards succumb to the mating haze.
We reached my car and Maggie tucked me into the passenger seat. I started to buckle my seatbelt when a sharp pain radiated through my abdomen. I cried out as I clutched my stomach. That wasn’t right. My heat just set in. I should have had several hours before the pain should hit. I should have had more time to get to my mate.
Maggie looked at me in concern as we pulled out of the parking spot. I was gasping for air as the waves of pain subsided and renewed. My

“Call Theo,” I gasped.
