Ramsey
I stiffened, swallowing hard. I… I can do that…” I stuttered “But not now… we need to make sure…”
“That I can get my powers back, that I can become – relevant…” she finished up with a scoff. “That’s the
problem, Ramsey… I don’t blame you for wanting that, maybe that’s the way you were raised and it’s okay. I’m not even angry anymore but I can no longer be a gamble for you. You want to keep me but still in the shadows until it’s confirmed that I can become the
Moonsinger again. Right?”
I opened my mouth severally to speak but no words. would come out of it.
“That’s what I thought,” she smiled sadly. “Even if I forgive everyone in the future, I will never forgive you Ramsey… my heart can call on you for all it wants… my body may yearn for you every day of my life but I’d rather walk on hot coals than be with you.”
My chest tightened, and I could feel my vision becoming blurry but I shook my head, trying to

suppress my emotions.
“That’s not fair, Lyla…” I felt anger spark in my chest. “Don’t be so cruel, I have lots of responsibilities. If was a mere Alpha or Lycan I will not hesitate.”
“I cannot be with someone who hesitates to love me…” she shouted. “I’ve repeated the same words over and over… but you never listen.”
“It is you who doesn’t listen. I said I love you…you’re the first woman I’ve confessed it to… the only woman I’ve defied norms to be with. Can’t I at least be
appreciated for that?”
She walked up to me and poked at my chest. “Love means nothing… me and you… broken like this should tell you that it’s a farce. I love you too…”
My heart skipped.
“But we do not love each other enough to want to be together. We both want different things. You need a decorated wife… versed in the old ways and our statues and everything that makes up our world… I
need a man who is crazy about me and shows me how
much he loves me with every breath he takes…”
“Staving in prison for four years means nothing” I said
117 Enough to want to be together
vehemently “I can do it.”
“For some weird reason, you keep mentioning
Nathan…”
I searched her eyes, saw the confusion in them and for the first time, I realized that she didn’t even know the extent to which Nathan loves her. She was oblivious to
- it.
“Wait!” I chuckled “You don’t know Nathan loves you? You think took all those punishments and treatment from me just to keep you away because he wanted to just stay as friends?“.
“Of course!” she glared at me. “He’s my best friend?”
“He stopped seeing himself as that and I can tell you it has been going on for a long time. Nathan loves you… fiercely. I’m surprised that he hasn’t…”
The door of the hall opened and Lenny rushed in. I
could sense distress.
“Is something wrong?”
He nodded and rushed to my side.
“There’s a problem. A video of Lyla naked and having sex with a man whose face is blurred is making rounds

in all our social networks, we’re trying to clamp down. on the spread but I have a feeling that this has something to do with you.”
My blood turned cold as my gaze drifted to Lyla who was smiling down at her phone, probably texting
someone.
“Do all you can to stop the spread. This is bad… she just came out as the Moonsinger, this is going to do more harm than good and where is Cassidy? Is she at the pack?”
She is the only one in possession of that video.
“I think so,” Lenny nodded “Is this her doing?” he asked.
“Tell them to bring the cars around, I need to go back to the pack house immediately and…”
Just then, the door of the hall opened again, bringing with it a gust of wind and Nathan who marched in looking furious as he made a beeline for me.
“gods! Not now…” I muttered under my breath stopping Lenny from trying to intercept him. “Don’t worry, let him come.”

As soon as he reached me, he threw his first which which I expertly sidestepped. His eyes were filled with hatred as he threw another punch again. Lyla who was surprised to see him in the hall ran towards us and tried to stop him from throwing a punch at me again.
“Nath… what is it?” she asked reaching to grab his
hand.
“How dare you do that to her?” he growled, grabbing my collar. “Do you have any shred of shame left in you?”
“Do what?” Lyla asked staring from me to him. “What happened Nath?”
“You’re sick, Ramsey Kincaid… very sick. How can you record such an intimate moment? Do you have any idea what this would do to her? Do you have any
thread of shame?”
“I did nothing, Nathan.?” I said through gritted teeth. “Neither did I record it in the first place. Like you, I found out a few seconds ago and I’m trying to do my
best to make sure it’s…”
“Will someone answer me?” Lyla suddenly shouted, wedging herself between us. “What’s doing on? Did

something happen again? Is it about me?”
Nathan’s gaze left mine as he reached and grabbed her gently, pulling her against his chest for a hug, running a hand through her hair. “I’m sorry,” he muttered. “I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you. I’m sorry, I let you meet this monster in the first place.”
“Watch your words, Alpha Nathan,” Lenny said fiercely.
“Just tell me?” Lyla demanded again. “Did something happen?” she turned to look at me again. “Was it a Feral attack? Please, tell me, the suspense is killing
me.”
Both me and Nathan didn’t move. It would break her if
she found out.
“Nath… Ramsey?” she called out again. “What’s wrong?”
Nathan sighed then reached for her hand pulling her to his side. “Nothing, c’mon.“”
“No!” she wri
