Chapter 30: Ayla

Sunday had been amazing and exactly what both Theo and I needed. We spent most of

the day talking. It was like our first days together. Before everyone knew about us, and we

were just Theo and Ayla getting to know each other better.

But Monday came around, and it was time to return to real life.

Maggie was with me in my classes today, which was even more pleasant than I had

expected. It wasn’t just because we got along so well. I no longer felt like I was drawing so

much attention. Maggie wasn’t supposed to appear as a bodyguard, and she didn’t. She

blended right in as a fellow student. I had missed a couple of classes the week before,

which I felt guilty enough about since it was the first week of the semester. But not feeling

like eyes were on me allowed me to catch up in my first class quickly. I expected the same

for Professor Armand‘ s class as we entered.

We weren’t the first to arrive by far, but we were still a few minutes early. Like I had with

Jimmy, I let Maggie pick our seats to choose the most advantageous position. She picked

the same general area that Jimmy had, and I smiled to myself. We took out our textbooks

and laptops and were discussing an upcoming assignment when a familiar voice made my

skin crawl.

“I guess I shouldn’t be surprised to see you here,” Amy said from behind my shoulder.

“You really are so jealous of Kylee that you just stole her entire life.”

Maggie hadn’t even realized she was talking to me until I glanced over my shoulder.

“Hello, Amy,” I said casually. “I didn’t realize you were in this class.”

“Stealing her mate wasn’t enough. You had to steal her education, too?” she hissed.

Maggie started to turn around.

‘Don’t.‘ I mind–linked her. ‘It’s not worth it. I’m not even bothered.‘

‘Who the hell is that?‘ she replied. ‘And is she really talking to you?‘

‘Her name is Amy, and unfortunately, yes,‘ I told her. ‘She’s a friend of my sister’s. Just

ignore her.‘

Professor Armand entered the lecture hall and greeted everyone. He was in an energetic

mood, as usual. He jumped into the lesson for the day, and I was intrigued as he started to

talk about ancient architecture. I remembered it was the professor’s research that had

helped Briggs find Randy’s underground hideout.

I packed up and approached Professor Armand’s desk when the class

was over.

“Hey, Professor,” I said cheerily. “Thanks again for sending the information I missed last

week. I really am sorry I missed the classes.”

“Not a problem at all, Luna,” he said with a smile.

“Alpha Theo and I would like to invite you to the packhouse this evening,” I said. “I know

we talked about you helping us look into some information. If you think you can spare the

time, we’d love to get you introduced to the project.”

His face lit up. “I would be delighted.”

“Wonderful,” I said. “We’ll meet you at the packhouse café at seven if

that works for you?”

“Sounds perfect,” he confirmed.

Maggie and headed out of the lecture hall and started to make our way

to my car.

“Are you guys going to tell the professor about the rogues tonight?” Maggie asked as I

started the engine.

“Most likely,” I said. “We’ll show him the cellar and what we’ve gotten from the

investigation so far. But we mostly want him to look at the books my father left me. I’ve

learned some stuff, but it’s a lot to go through, and I just don’t think I’ll have the time to

do it all on my own.”

“I can help you some, too,” Maggie said.

“Thanks, Mags,” I replied with a smile.

We were quiet for a few minutes until Maggie spoke again.

“So… who was that Amy chick and why was she being such a bitch?”

I sighed. “She’s a close friend of my sister, Kylee. Obviously, Kylee didn’t take the break–

up with Theo well, and it didn’t help that he was my mate. I guess she still hasn’t accepted

that I’m not the bad guy in that situation.”

“You know I can’t let her talk to you like that again?” Maggie said sternly.

I shook my head. “Really, don’t even acknowledge her. I never really liked her to begin

with, so what she thinks about me doesn’t mean anything. And we can’t risk you blowing

today.

“I don’t know,” Maggie said slowly. “Something seemed off about her. Not just her

stupidity for disrespecting her Luna.”

I laughed. “Yeah, that ‘off‘ feeling isn’t anything new. Kylee brought her home her

freshman year, and I didn’t like her back then. But she was strangely devoted to Kylee. So

her behavior now isn’t that shocking.”

“Well, I won’t make a scene about it if she tries to say something again,” Maggie stated.

“But I will have it addressed. And I’ll have to tell Alpha about it.”

“I know,” I conceded. “I’m not going to stop you. But don’t worry about it unless she

harasses me again. Dirty looks on campus don’t count. After our last encounter, I doubt

she’ll do anything out in the open.”

“Wait…” Maggie perked up. “Is she the one you beat up in the packhouse lobby a while

ago?”

I groaned. “I didn’t beat her up,” I said. “I just put her in her place. Or at least, I thought I

did. Obviously, she’s had enough time to wallow over it.”

“Don’t worry, Luna,” Maggie assured me. “I’m not going to let her bother you.”

“Thanks, Maggie.”
