THE LUNA’S CHOICE BY KAT SILVER - Season 2 Episode 78

Theo

Ayla and I spent the morning together, and I filled her in on what happened in Bonnerville.

As I expected, she wasn’t happy about the situation. She wanted to question the rogues as

soon as they arrived. later that evening, but I convinced her to wait. They were locked

securely away in the cellar. For now, I wanted her to focus on Mina and the ceremony. This

was supposed to be a happy, exciting time for all of us. I didn’t want the Waar Pak issue

getting in the way of that any more than it already had.

Besides, we all needed a break from it for a few days.

Ayla and I hadn’t had many normal experiences in our relationship, and I was determined

to make that happen that weekend. So, when we finally dragged ourselves out of bed, I

sent her off with Mina, Annabelle, and my mother for an afternoon at the spa. I got Mom’s

list of to–do items left to tackle before the big day and dragged Briggs and Jimmy to help

knock them out.

My dad joined us for dinner, and we ended up in the packhouse rec room shooting a few

games of pool with a few beers. I had invited Will, but he needed time at home to be there

early the next day. It was after nightfall when my phone rang. It was McCabe letting me

know they had arrived with the rogues. I told him where to go and that I’d meet them

there.

“The transfer here?” Briggs asked after finishing a combo pocket shot, putting him ahead

of me.

I nodded. “Jimmy, you take over for me,” I said, tossing him my pool queue. “Dad, you

want to come give me a hand?”

“Do you have to ask?” he said with a wry smile.

“We can all come and help out,” Briggs said.

“Nah, this should be quick and easy,” I said. “Won’t take long and I’ll be right back to kick

your ass in the next round.”

“That’s a bet,” Briggs said after us.

Dad and I headed down to one of the back exits. I had kept him informed of everything

that was going on. He was still the Alpha, after all. It was important for everyone that he

be involved in certain things. And meeting one of our pack sheriffs for a rogue prisoner

transfer was one of those things. Besides, I still needed his advice from time to time.

“Are they going to the garage?” Dad asked as we left the building.

“Yeah, it’s the closest spot to the utility shed without having them out in the open,” I told

him. “Harmon will be here this weekend, and we’ll get started on the plans for better

access to the cellar.”

“Good,” Dad said. “This in and out is getting suspicious.

We entered the large garage from a side door. This garage, in particular, was designated

for pack–assigned vehicles. It was mostly SUVs and trucks, a few town cars for important

visitors. So, the large black van with black–out windows stood out.

Sheriff McCabe was already outside the vehicle, his arms crossed over his chest. Three

warriors I had arranged to travel down to get them stood at the back doors patiently.

“Sheriff McCabe,” I said, shaking his hand. “I believe you know my

father.”

“Alpha Torin. Alpha Theo,” he greeted both of us.

“I hope there weren’t any problems getting here,” I said.

“Nothing out of the usual,” he said. “But we did have to sedate them a couple hours ago.

They started making a lot of noise at a gas station.”

“Can they walk?” I asked.

He nodded. “They’re not completely out, but it should make getting them wherever you

need easy enough.”

“Good,” I replied, moving to the back doors and opening them up.

Their scent hit me, now mixed with days–old sweat and filth. The one we hadn’t

questioned yet was lying across the floor while the other was hunched over.

“Let’s get them inside,” my father said next to me. “We don’t want this stench attracting

attention.”

The warriors climbed in and dragged the two forms from the van. I signaled for them to

follow me, and we led them the short distance to the utility shed. We filed into the tight

space, and I entered the code to open the hatch. I had made sure the door to the

investigation room was closed so that nothing could be seen. I led them down the corridor

to the cells, directing them where they needed to be put.

“You three stand guard,” I told the men. “I’ll send your relief down shortly.”

“We’re not going to question them more now that we’re here?” McCabe asked as we

started to make our way back out.

I shook my head. “We need Ayla for that,” I explained. “And I’m working really hard to give

her a day or two without having to deal

with this Waar Pak mess. We could all use time celebrating something good. Speaking of,

we would be happy if you could stay, McCabe.”

We headed back up the stairs out of the cellar.

“I know I would enjoy a more thorough briefing of how things have been in your area,”

Dad told him. “Before the attack, that is.”

“I would have to check in to see,” McCabe said. “But we have Panser’s sheriff in town with

the new task force. If he says he can handle things another day, I’d be honored.”

“Good.” I said, clapping him on the back. “Now, let’s get back to the party. I have a pool

game to win.”
