Chapter 47
Thane
Finding Ayla in a full–blown breakdown in her room was devastating. The idea that Cyrus is insinuating that I caused it, is too much to handle. “Let’s let Eric back in and the two of us take this conversation back to my office. I want every available task member combing the streets looking for this wolf.” If he is her mate, I have idea how I will react. I am the one that pulled back from little wolf, but it was for her own good, but undeniably difficult. Maybe m pulling back delivered her mate to her. The fates would slap me in the face like that. Looking back at little wolf in her clinic bed, brings me right back to the moment I laid eyes on her beauty, so damaged, but so beautiful. Leaving this room is proving difficult.
“I want you to go down to the salon and see if there is any surveillance cameras and outside CTV footage Cyrus.” I bark at him from my desk. A complete fury of rage, sadness, and confusion. “Jalena already said she didn’t know the guy and that she has no cameras in her shop. You think she is lying? Why would she?” “I don’t know if it is lying. I can’t place my finger on it, but my instincts are telling me that something is not right in this situation. I don’t know what the scratching I am feeling is, but I don’t like it.”
My head is reeling. Lack of sleep and this one thing after another shit is wearing me down. I am irritable and Ronan is on edge. One wrong word away from shifting and tearing into anything. I know if let him out, he will either go straight to Ayla or into town to look for her mate. Both options are wrong for us, he is just proving difficult to convince and I don’t know why I don’t like not knowing something.
The fact that there is a shifter running around town looking for Ayla has my hackles up. If he was her fated mate, his wolf would have scented her here. He should have been able to follow her scent or the bond tug at his chest. However, with Ayla not having her wolf connected, her scent isn’t as strong, and she may not be feeling the mate pull. That could possibly be a fact we would need to deal with. If Ayla doesn’t feel the pull of the fated mate bond, then how will we know he is her true fated mate? Although that brings me back to the question as to why would anyone lie about the fated mate bond? The paranoia has to be stemming from how close I have become with little wolf.
“I think we need to try and pull her wolf out Cyrus. If she has a fated mate, she may not be able to feel the bond without her wolf, and I don’t know how else we would know if he were lying or not.” “Well, if someone decided to run around and lie about this for no reason, I would like a way to know that so I could do something about it. I don’t want to harm someone that is innocent. You tried to pull her wolf out several days ago and if I remember right, I found you in here crying to yourself about it.” “I wasn’t crying idiot “Sorry your stupidence, sulking. You were sulking.” “Stupidence? That isn’t even a word, and I was NOT sulking. I was thinking.” “You were sulking, and you looked constipated.” “Shut the hell up and get to the beauty shop. I am going to talk to Eric.” “You mean you are going to check on your little wolf?” “GET OUT CYRUS.”
