Chapter 8:Theo

A pounding rang through my head, and I fell to the floor as my right leg gave way beneath me. My gut felt like it was in a vice, and I swear I felt a rib snap.

“Theo,” Kylee yelled as she came running to my side.

What the f*** was happening?

‘Mate!‘

Ayla!

Fear and panic shot through me. Something had happened to Ayla. I was feeling her pain. It was bad.

‘Briggs, get up here. Now.‘ I called through the mind–link.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” Kylee’s panicked voice sounded beside me. She was feeling across my body, trying to find the source of my pain.

She wasn’t helping. I pulled in as deep a breath as I could to help hide my reaction.

“Kylee, I’ll be fine. But I need you to go back to your room,” I ordered.

“Are you crazy? I’m not leaving you,” she shrieked.

“Kylee, I said go,” I snapped as Briggs entered the room. “Briggs, get her out of here. Take her to her room and make sure she stays there. And don’t f***ing tell anyone.” I put a

Briggs looked between Kylee and me angrily but nodded and grabbed Kylee by the elbow as she covered herself with a robe. When they were gone, I tried to pull myself up. I grunted as the movement intensified the pain. I had to get up. I had to find my phone. I had to find out where she was.

I saw my phone on the floor halfway under the bed. I cried out as I bent to pick it up just as Briggs came back into the room.

“What the hell is going on, Theo?”

“It’s Ayla. Something’s happened to her. She’s injured badly.”

“How do…”
