124 The secret … 

Ramsey 

I nodded severally , clamping down on the insides of my mouth to stop the agony that was brimming inside me .

“ I was never raised with being able to express how I feel .

Sometimes when I want to say I love you , I end up saying it wrongly .

I was raised by the domestic staff in the pack house .

Love to me meant eating dinner , and occasionally going hunting .

All of this is alien to me , Lyla .

You should at least give me a second chance to redeem myself and I will learn how to love you since 

my 

methods didn’t work the first time .

” 

“ I’m going to marry , Nathan , she announced sniffing back tears .

“ You can go ahead and get married to Cassidy , I no longer care .

” 

“ You want to punish me , Lyla … I get it but you e don’t have to go to such extreme .

You’ll … ” Ltrailed off , a tear rolling down my cheek .

“ You’ll kill me .

“ .

“ And yet you haven’t died after four years of waiting ,” she said woodenly .

“ There’s nothing for us again ,

Ramsey .

I cannot bring myself to forget .

Nathan asked me to be his Luna and I’m saying yes because he has proved both in words and in actions that he cares enough and he loves me .

” 

I shook my head , trying to steady my breathing .

“ I guess it’s no use .

You would never believe me anyway .

You’re so fixated on Nathan because he stayed in the dungeon for you .

I gave him options to leave you know … ” 

“ Don’t bring up the past ! ” Nathan snarled .

“ I’m not marrying him because he went to the dungeon for me , ” she shook her head .

“ Maybe one of the reasons but he’s consistent .

Nathan would be Nathan next week ; his feelings would not change .

Now that I think about it , he has been trying to tell me how he feels all these years … then again … I thought he was just being best friends .

” 

“ Do you even love him ? ” I asked , dreading the reply .

“ Yes , ” she nodded “ And I’ll learn to love him even more .

I don’t know what to do with the life I left before I 

came back but I do know that I want Nathan and I’ll do everything to stay with him .

” 

124 The secret … 

She might as well be nailing my coffin .

I tried to muster a smile but it ended as a smirk .

“ You’re out of your depth .

When things go wrong – and they will – remember that I tried to help .

” 

“ The only thing going wrong here is your inability to accept that you’ve lost your chance , you didn’t have to add the touching stories , Ramsey , ” she said quietly .

“ I’ve made my choice , Respect it .

” 

“ Oh ! ” I laughed .

“ I will and also ,” I reached inside my jacket and pulled out a letter which I tossed towards her .

“ Your dad asked me to give you this .

” 

She stared at the envelope and back at me .

“ What is 

this ? ” 

“ I have no idea .

He said he’d wanted to give you for the longest time but didn’t have the guts to .

He always carries it with him .

” I explained .

I sighed , schooling my expression .

“ Fine , we’ve said a lot of things today but I’m not backing down completely about protecting you .

I’ll come for your training every morning at least I can help in the

because of inadequate training .

” 

Nathan turned , positioning himself slightly in front of Lyla .

“ That won’t be necessary , Ramsey .

” 

“ Won’t be necessary ? ” I laughed “ I’ve been doing a lot of research about this , I just wasn’t sure but since it is now confirmed , I have more extensive knowledge than you .

” 

“ Seriously , Ramsey , ” Lyla exhaled .

“ I don’t need … ” 

“ I promised your father that I would look after you , ” I said my gaze locking with hers .

“ I don’t care what you think you need .

This isn’t about trust or feelings .

This is about keeping you alive .

” 

“ Stop forcing your way into her life .

Walk away with dignity at least … ” Nathan said 

“ And you need to realize that I’m not going anywhere , ” I retorted with an icy tone .

“ You can’t keep me from protecting her .

” 

“ Enough , ” Lyla yelled again , silencing both of us .

She turned to me , her eyes blazing with frustration .

“ If you want to help , fine .

But it will be on my terms .

I’ll decide when and how you’re involved .

Until then , back off and since we’re now a couple we wouldn’t want a

third wheel .

” 

“ You’re not a couple until you finally get joined , ” I shrugged .

“ In the meantime , I’ll be acting as your Lycan back Leader and starting from this moment , we will go to being formal with each other .

I expect that you’d call me by my title or my position and not my name .

So , Lyla … as your Lycan Leader , I’ll be coming to your -training to know how you’re doing .

Now … ” my gaze 

strayed to my wristwatch .

Twenty more minutes and itll be time to meet up with Cassidy .

“ I need to go now , I wish you all the best .

” I winked at both of them and started towards the exit .

Waiting for me by the entrance was Lenny .

He had a sombre look on his face .

“ When are you going to tell her the truth ? ” he asked .

“ Were we that loud ? ” I asked walking towards the car .

“ Loud enough for the entire white mountains to have heard .

Hopefully , they didn’t Lenny sighed .

“ You should tell her already , Ramsey .

You’re turning into a villain in her eyes .

“ I will tell her , ” I said quietly , “ When she realizes that she can never be with Nathan .

Did you reach out to 

him ? ” 

“ Yes ! ” Lenny nodded “ He’d be here in a few days , do you plan on making him tell her himself ?” 

“ Not yet ! ” I shook my head .

“ We should hurry up now , I don’t want .

Cassidy shouting her head off for coming 

late .

” 

“ Are you serious about wanting to go through with this wedding ? ” Lenny stared at me quizzically .

“ You can just put it on hold a few more days , who knows she might come around .

” 

“ I’ll just go along with everything for now … that’s the only way I can protect myself.
