Chapter 141: Ayla

“I almost forgot,” Randy said. “You may want to speak with Professor Armand. He’s one of

ours. He may be able to help you make sense of some of Harry’s ramblings.’

”

“So he was involved,” Theo commented. “Why are you just now telling us?”

Randy shrugged. “I didn’t get a chance before we had to send Ayla away. He wouldn’t be

much help without her. He’s under the same command I am.

”

“Oh, yeah, about that,” Theo pressed. “How does that work? I’ve never seen anything like

that before.”

The three men exchanged looks.

“It’s

‘s a safeguard,” Cooper said. “One we actually learned from the Waar P*k. We use it to

help protect our undercover agents.”

“Okay,” Theo said, “but that doesn’t answer my question. How does it work? How can

someone be under the command of someone they haven’t met, and how can that be

stronger than any other Alpha’s command?”

“Not just anyone,” Cooper stated. “Ayla. It’s not an easy or pretty process. We don’t use it

on all of our agents.”

“And if I wanted to use it with some of my people?” Theo asked. “For instance, myself. It

would give me some peace of mind to know I can’t be used against my mate.”

I laced my fingers in his, hearing the stress and fear in his voice.

“I wouldn’t be opposed to that, either,” Briggs said.

“Ayla could just issue the command herself,” Cooper said. “We can give you the wording.

But it would be safer than our process.”

“What do you mean safer?” I asked. “How was the command tied to me?”

“It’s on old ritual,” Randy finally said. “It came from the Onyxcrown archives. Apparently,

one of your ancestors developed the process.

Which would make sense since it requires a piece of you, so to speak.”

道

“Excuse me?” I said, the hair on my neck sticking up. “A piece of me?”

“Well, someone from your family,” Cooper clarified. “Blood, hair, skin, whatever. Like I

said, it’s not a pleasant process.”

“And where did you find a piece of my family to perform this before?” I asked disgustedly.

Theo had tensed beside me. I knew he didn’t like this any more than I did.

“Your father,” Harden said, leaning forward to rest a hand on mine. “He gave it to us. He

actually confirmed its efficacy. I wouldn’t let him help us once he settled with the

Greytooth Pack. We didn’t want to lead the Waar P*k to him. But we did consult him a few

times when we felt we had to. He gave us his blood.”

“Oh,” I said. “What about the Waar P*k? You said you learned it from them?”

“As far as we know, they haven’t actually managed to successfully use it,” Randy said.

“Accept for the perhaps the highest ranking leaders.”

“But why use it?” I said. “It seems counterintuitive to bind yourself to the command of the

family you hate.

“To identify you would be my guess,” Randy pointed out. “You’re the only one that can

release them. They use it to expose you. We use it to protect you instead. We can’t be

forced to reveal your identity or anything that may lead them to you.

“But the command had been removed,” Theo said, concerned.

Randy shook his head. “Not entirely,” he said. “We didn’t know for sure, of course. Not

even Jack knew the extent of how the binding command worked. But I still can’t be

compelled to speak about you with anyone you haven’t allowed me to speak to. It was

quite frustrating when I tried reporting to Alpha Cooper. I had to tell Alpha Harden. The

only reason I can talk freely now is because you’re in the room.”

“I’d still like to know about the process,” Theo said. “This could be the difference between

life and death for Ayla.

”

“You may not even need it,” Harden said. “Once you mark each other, you’ll be bound

anyway.

“Do you think the same applies to Mina and me?” Briggs asked. “She is a direct

descendant.”

Randy shrugged. “It could, I suppose. You may still need the command. from Ayla to drive

it home, but you’d have the bond.”

”

“But there are others that I would like to offer the opportunity,” Theo said. “She’s going to

need a guard for a while.” Theo looked at me. “I know Jimmy would appreciate knowing he

couldn’t be commanded to betray you.”

Theo had told me that Jimmy had been beating himself up pretty badly over my attack. He

had been wracked with guilt since I was stabbed. And all the events that followed didn’t

help. Theo said he even tried to step down as his Ga**a. I didn’t want that to happen.

“Yeah, I think it would help,” I agreed. “What if you tell us how to do the process in case

we need to use it. But I’ll try to work on the command myself first. If that’s the safer

option, I’d much rather use that anyway.”

Cooper looked to Harden. “I can live with that,” he stated. “But only if you promise to have

Randy or me help you the first time IF you need it.”

“Or Professor Armand,” Randy indicated.

“I have no problem with that deal,” Theo said, reaching out to shake on it.

“Alright,” Alpha Harden said. “Unless there is anything else you think we need to address, I

think it’s time you guys got on the road. I have a private plane waiting to take you back to

Greytooth territory. You’ll be leaving from a private airport, so they’ll be ready by the time

you get there.”

We all stood up. Theo shook each man’s hand again, thanking each of them genuinely. I

did as well. I didn’t want to think about where we would be if it wasn’t for their help. I

didn’t think I could ever repay them for their kindness and generosity. Toward me or my

family.
