91 Lost you forever …


    Ramsey


    “ I don’t understand , what do you mean by she refused ? ”


    Lenny sighed , exhaling deeply .


    “ She doesn’t want to see you , Ramsey .


    She made it that much .


    clear .


    She wouldn’t even look at the address I gave her .


    I think … ”


    I and Lenny were in the corridors of the Pack Hospital and I was trying to get feedback from his meeting with L yesterday .


    It’d be foolish of me to think she woulde at the first call but outrightly rejecting me ? I didn’t see thating .


    “ Maybe it’s the way you told her .


    Were you rude ? Did you not sound convincing enough ? Did you tell her how much I’ve missed her and … ”


    Lenny suddenly grabbed my arm , causing the remainder of the words to die on my lips .


    A group of nurses passed , giggling and casting us flirting looks but I wasn’t interested .


    “ Maybe discussing this here is not the best of ideas , Lenny said quietly .


    “ There are so many people listening


    “ I don’t care .


    ” I told him coldly .


    “ I just want to know why she would turn me down , after everything I’ve done all these years .


    How I’ve chased her tenaciously … is this how she will choose to repay my kindness ? ”


    “ You didn’t do her any kindness , Ramsey , Lenny scoffed , shaking his head with disgust .


    “ Women are not moved by this sort of act of service because everything you ever did , never impacted her directly .


    If anything you hurt her … what were you expecting ? For her to fall on her knees and thank you ?”


    I sighed , running my hands through my hair .


    This was driving me crazy .


    “ Is this about me putting Nathan in the dungeon ? ”


    “ Not just that , she also knew you sent Panthers after her in the human world and misinterpreted- it as you trying to punish her more .


    See , Ramsey … ” he paused again , waiting for another group of medical staff to pass .


    “ You should forget about L … she has moved on from what I see .


    When you hurt a woman beyond … ”


    “ She can’t , that’s not how it works , I insisted shaking my head , “ We’re mates , fated mates , Lenny .


    Do you know what that means ? ”


    “ Even fated mates have second – chance mates .


    The Moon Goddess is merciful enough to let people love the second time .


    So … ”


    “ It’s not the same for me .


    Lax , told me she’s our only mate and I know I didn’t treat her as well as she wanted but I’m ready to make amends now .


    Can’t she see it ? I’m reaching out … I’m


    swallowing my pride and reaching out despite … ”


    “ You’re not reaching out .


    You’re using me to reach out to her .


    If you want this woman


    C

    the norm .


    No matter how much she’s angry with you , showing up in front of her and telling her the words you sent me to tell her might soften her heart and endear her to you .


    ”


    “ I can’t ! ” I sighed deeply .


    “ Cassidy’s eyes are on me .


    Besides , I can’t just show up there for no reason .


    Everyone would know … ”


    Lenny scoffed and shook his head repeatedly giving me a wary stare .


    “ This is exactly why she’s angry with you .


    You treat her like a secret .


    You want her , but you cannot be bold enough and dere openly that you truly want this woman and no one else .


    That’s fucked up , Ramsey … no one … not even me would want a partner who wants me but wants me secretly … ”


    “ If I had another means , this wouldn’t be a problem and you know this , Lenny .


    I have to marry Cassidy but I want L … but she’s not perfect .


    She has a defect ; she would never be allowed to sit on the White Moon Throne .


    ”


    “ Then make up your mind what is it you really want , ” Lenny said through gritted teeth .


    “ You’re holding two women ransom .


    You’ve kept Cassidy here for years and now you want to go back and forth with their emotions ? I hope you have the sense to finally make a decision , stick to it and stop acting like a selfish prick .


    Gosh ! This is so undignified .


    ”


    Lenny shook his head onest time before he turned on his heels and started towards the hospital’s exit .


    I dropped into the chair at the reception , cradling my head with my hands .


    Lax whined within me , angry that I had yet to reunite him with his mate but what could I do ? It’s easy to throw around words like ‘ making a decision ‘ or ‘ choosing one ‘ when in reality , I needed both Cassidy and L .


    “ Alpha , are you alright ? ”


    A pair of ck shoes came to stand in front of me , when I looked up , it was a doctor staring at me with concern .


    “ Do you not feel well ? ” he asked again .


    “ I’m fine , I said gruffly , rising to my feet .


    “ I was just overwhelmed by my grandfather waking up finally after all these weeks .


    But I’m fine .


    I’ll go and see him now .


    The doctor nodded enthusiastically and I brushed past him , suddenly feeling joyful .


    My grandfather’s recovery was supposed to be the major highlight of my day .


    After days of uncertainty , I could hardly believe he would be able to finally open his eyes .


    As I approached his private ward room , I could hear his voice from the corridor and that of the pack elders within .


    The door was slightly ajar and packed with people from the pack .


    When I got closer , I hung at the door , watching and loving the way they gathered around his bed , their voice was filled with warmth and reverence .


    Tears gathered in my eyes as I saw him propped in afortable position leaning on a mountain of pillows – he looked thinner than I remembered but that sharpness was still in his eyes at least – talking andughing .


    I’d lost count of the number of times I’d sat his his bedside , praying silently , bargaining with the

    universe to bring him back .


    He was the only family I had .


    … And I still remember the time we stood before the Council trying to argue about the hunting grounds ! ” Elder Thorne was saying , the corners of his eyes creased with amusement .


    “ We nearly started a revolution but it took , a p from our fathers to uproot the rebellion .


    ”


    “ Some things never change , Elder Mira chuckled , adjusting the flowers by the bedside .


    “ The young ones always think they know better but we had so much fun growing up .

    “ Eldric has always been a wild card .


    Admit it Mira … there was a time we all thought you’d end together because you bothmitted the same mischief at all times ,” Elder Jacob chuckled .


    “ When he was younger , he was brave ,” Elder Mira admitted , gazing at him with a fond smile .


    “ Once he had his mind set on something , there was no talking him out of it .


    You all remember the winter when he decided to hunt down the Panther that had been terrorizing the White Mountains territory for months ? Nearly got lost in the mountains ! ”


    “ Yes , and he came back with that panther’s pelt as proof ! ” Elder Miraughed .


    “ Alpha Ramsey reminds me of you in your youth , only he doesn’t smile much … ”


    up


    The entire room erupted intoughter .


    I smiled slightly at theparison and pushed the door open , announcing my presence .


    I didn’t bother to look in their direction , I just started walking towards my grandfather’s bed .


    The Elders all murmured greetings to me which I barely acknowledged .


    My grandfather though still looking a bit tired , finally saw me and his face broke into a wide grin .


    “ Ramsey ! ” he called out , his voice hoarse but filled with warmth .


    I threw myself at him , wrapping my arms around his body .


    “ I thought I’d lost you forever , ” I whispered , pressing deeper into his embrace .
