Alpha Shrines and Toenail Clippings:
I’m currently Mewing in my office Legs up on the desk, themeing back my fourth shinskay nant of the night. It no longer burnt going down. close to achieving my ultimate goal. That pal started off as getting Ayla out of my head and has now turned into hoie de 1 stay away from i spent with Ala in the woods was profection, but that on top of what Della said mixed in with why she was taken‘ ougat custed with ‘I don’t de relationships‘ mixed with a helping of this is a shitstorm brewing has my mind turned upside down and my amations aren’t in
Time to pour another drink,
“I see you’re in here drowning your sorrows of drowning you feelings more like it.‘ Cyrus themes out smugly like he knows everything as he walks into dry
olice.
I’m not drowning anythine, dick. I’m pondering that’s all.”
“Sure. And what are ve ponderiing?”
“WE are pondering nothing. Cyrus. I am pondering all of my unanswered questions rolling around in this head of mine.”
“Thick skulled, alpha head more like it.”
“No, YOU are avoiding Ayla.“
Tam NOT avoiding her. I am just contemplating her. It is different.”
“If you weren’t avoiding her, you wouldn’t have asked ME to question her.”
“I asked you to question her because I got nowhere, really and YOU are more personable.”
“More personable? Please. Just say that
people like me better than you
Thane. It is a fact we all know.”
“Did she tell you anything about why she was kept so long or why she is afraid to stay here or not?”
“How about I answer your questions when you tell me why you are avoiding her.”
“You forget who Alpha is here Cynck?”
“No, your miserable excellence, I do not. HOWEVER, I call it like I see it and I know that you spend a lot of time with her, you reek of her delectable parts, might I add, but here today, you have been nowhere near her. What gives?”
“I will tell you what gives. I gave her a hard orgasm, my face practically buried in her sweet cunt Cyrus” “Nice. I still don’t see a problem here Thane. That girl deserves thousands of orgasms. She has spent 10 years without.
“You are the lucky shifter that gets to bury his face between her legs. What is your problem?”
“My PROBLEM is that I am undeniably drawn to her. I almost can’t get away from it. It’s killing me sitting here with your dumbass instead of giving her all the orgasms she deserves. AND that’s a problem because this attraction is strong Cyrus. If it is this strong without her being my mute, can you imagine what the fated mate bond would feel like? How can I toss Ayla pride and break her heart when my mate comes along? She deserves better than that. Better than myself
“I thought you were in a good place with this, Thane? What changed your mind AGAIN in rapidly?”
I ran into Della while I was carrying a post orgasm, sexed up Ayla to her room and she reminded me that Ayla deserves better than a broken heart.”
“Della? Of course she did. That hitch is crazy shout you Thane and NOT in a good way. I bet if you go to her place now, the probably has a shrine of you in her closet with a bag of your toenail clippings.
“Oh, will you stop with this boenail clipping shit. This is serious.”

4 know it is serious. That is why you need tu DATEN IN D Ayla because the wants it to be the Thane and Della alone. No
Thane and
“Della just reminded min what I already thought of Cyrus: She understands that I don’t do relationships and knowy what will happen when I have i Als doen’t and may not knderstand?
“Della only UNDERSTANDS because the is your only one Thane. She has cock blocked you with every female shifter from here to timbuckbit
“Enough Cys, let me drown in my men misery please. Did Ayla talk with you or not? Did she tell you where she is from?”
“Of course, the tasked with me. I have the port of female persuasion.”
“You better have kept your dick away from her Cyrus. I mean it. I will cut.
I will on that freaking thi
thing off. “
this beast off.”
First off, it isn’t a thing, it is a monster. And Second, you couldn’t just
“Did she talk to you or not?”
“Yes, she did. But she pretty much told me what she told you, however, I cant tell it la fear driving her to keep quiet and not some nefarious preson or diabolical plan. Whoever kept her that long, whoever she is afraid of, she is afraid of bringing that threat here. Not her being a threat to on.”
“You could tell all of that by the little bit of her writing to you?”
“No, I could tell that by reading her and her expressions. Something you would have picked up on if you weren’t too busy trying to shove your face in her delectable parts.”
I have NOT been busy trying to seduce Ayla.
“No, probably not, but your attraction to her, the attraction that is so heavy between the two of you, takes up all of your time when you are together. There isn’t room of a care for anything else.”
Staring down at my drink, my thoughts are no less cloudy than they were prior to this conversation. However, I trust Cyrus and trust his interpretation of his conversation with Ayla. He has good instincts, and they havent steered me into harm yet.
“Can I ask you something Thane?”
“You are going to ask anyway.”
Ayla’s heartbreak if you find your mate, or are you afraid of giving your heart to someone whether they are your mate or not?”
“Yes, I will. Are you afraid of Ay His question is valid,
“Probably a little bit, or a lot a bit of both.”
“Look, man. Della knew what she was doing, planting these doubts into your head. Just think long and hard about avoiding Ayla, Even if you cut this thing off between you two, she deserves an explanation as to why. A REAL explanation. Not any of the “Im too busy” or “I had stuff to deal with bullshit. In the meantime, I can talk with her again. The more I talk to her, the more comfortable she will become. Plus, if you cut this thing off between you two, maybe il can cushion her landing”
“If you try to cushion anything, I will rip your damn throat out Cyrus I growl at him, deep from within my chest. Ronan is pissed about the suggestion,
“Sounds like you and your wolf are disagreeing about what you should he doing with Ayla, Thane,
“Yes Cyrus. I am aware we are in disagreement at the moment.”
“So then tell me Thane. Why is Ronan su adamant about staying with Ayla if she isn’t his mate?
“That Cyrus, I do not know,”
Before I can even begin to ponder that question, which surprisingly I haven’t yet, there is a knock at my door.

My vision tunnels and Cyrus and I look at each other, mouths gaped open, and confusion written all over
