120 All the Moonsingers …
Nathan
I’ve thought about a thousand ways to finally tell L how I feel about it .
In one scenario there would be flowers , lots of flowers , in another , a single stem of flower between my lips , dressed up to the nines , with soft music ying in the background and a thousand more scenarios I’d looked up from the inte .
But to think I decided to skip confessing my feelings , skip dating and jump straight into asking her to marry me … in a dingy , motel room that doesn’t sound half as bad only that she stiffened in my embrace .
“ Nathan … ”
“ I’m serious , ” I said , hoping my voice was steady .
“ If you were my Luna , whoever did this wouldn’t have the guts to do it .
No one would dare touch you .
No one would have the power to hurt you like this again .
I could protect you in every way possible .
”
She pulled away slightly , turning to face me .
“ You can’t

just – Nathan , marriage isn’t something you decide because of a situation .
It’s … “‘
“ It’s more than that ,” I interrupted .
“ I know .
And I’m not saying this just because of what happened .
I’m saying it because I care about you .
Because I’ve cared about you for a long time .
”
She stared at me , her eyes widening with surprise .
Ragnar was spurring me on and I knew it was now or never .
I don’t know if I will ever have this kind of opportunity again , so I am putting all my eggs in one basket .
“ Just listen to me , ” I said quietly “ And you don’t have to say anything right now ,” I added gently , cing a hand on her cheek .
“ Just think about it .
Please .
”
She nodded slowly , turning her gaze from me .
“ Okay , ” she whispered .
“ I’ll think about it .
”
I smiled faintly , brushing a strand of hair from her face .
“ That’s all I ask .
”
We sat in silence until my phone rang .
It was Lenny .
I stepped away from L , lifting the phone to my ear .
“ Beta ? ”

“ The council is gathering again , you and Miss L can starting .
Are you within the area ? I could send transport .
”
“ That won’t be necessary .
We’ll find our way .
”
When the call ended , I turned to L who was staring at me expectantly .
“ Any news ? ”
“ The council is gathering again, seems the High Priestess is done with her devotion too .
We should go .
”
She nodded and rose to her feet adjusting her clothes .
Almost at the door , she ced a hand on my arm stopping me .
“ Nathan … ” she called out softly .
I turned .
“ Yes ! ”
“ I want to know something and I need you to answer as truthfully as you can .
”
I nodded .
“ Do you love me? Like maybe not love but something more than just caring ? Is this about getting back at Ramsey ? How do you see me ? Like , am I a piteous creature that needs protecting and marriage to you would solve it ? I inst … ” she took a deep breath “ I want

to know why you proposed to me out of the blues .
We were best friends one minute and now this … ”
“ L … ” I cupped her face .
“ I don’t see you as someone piteous , I never have and I love you … I’ve for the longest time .
I’m sorry I didn’t confess earlier but there was never a perfect time .
I proposed because I want to be with you and maybe … this is a perfect opportunity … ”
She nodded , “ So , all those kisses and … ” she trailed off
“ They meant more to you ? ”
“ Yes ,” I replied .
“ I see you as a woman – a beautiful woman who I love so much and would want to spend the rest of my life with .
Also , maybe there’s a part of me that wants to im you as revenge on Ramsey but I promise , my feelings for you have always been there and they’re genuine .
”
She nodded and smiled .
“ That’s okay .
We should go , we don’t want to keep the council waiting .
”
We arrived at the council hall a few minutester and
met Lenny by the door , he seemed to be waiting for us .
His face was grim , but there was a flicker of relief when he saw us approaching .

“ Alpha Nathan , Miss L , ” he greeted us with a small nod before turning his attention to L .
“ We’ve managed to take down all the videos that were circting .
Thankfully , we discovered on time and have been able to track down all the IP addresses that downloaded it too and had the videos unable to y but we cannot promise you that we trapped everything for now .
Still , we’re checking ”
L nodded .
“ I understand , thank you for your help , Beta Lenny .
I’ll thank the Lycan Leaderter .

“Any leads on who is behind it ? ” I asked .
He hesitated , ncing over my shoulders .
Just as he opened his mouth to respond , another voice interrupted .
“ You don’t need to know who it was , ” Ramsey said as he strode towards us .
I scoffed turning to face him .
I can’t believe he still carried himself with the same infuriating confidence as always like the world revolved around him .
“ What matters , ” he continued , “ Is that I’ve handled it .
The damage is minimal and I’m so sorry about that , L .
Everything happened so fast that I didn’t get a

chance to express my sincere apologies .
I’m sorry .
”
L nodded .
“ Are you alright by the way ? You look tired .
”
“ Yes , I’m fine .
Thank you for all your help ,” she replied .
Ramsey studied her for a moment with an unreadable expression .
Then he nodded once and turned toward the hall without another word .
I scoffed under my breath , my fists clenching at my sides .
“ Handled it , ” I muttered bitterly .
“ Of course , Ramsey’s always the hero .
”
“ Let’s go , ” L said gently , cing a hand on my arm to
calm me .
We followed Ramsey into the council hall .
All the
members of the council were gathered again and there was a single chair at the centre , clearly meant for L .
I felt her hesitate beside me for a moment before
stepping forward and taking her ce .
The council members and Ramsey took their positions too everyone waiting patiently for the High priestess who had changed into a different robe .
It was silver now .
We watched as she rose from her seat and

walked towards L , a cid smile on her face before she turned to face the members of the council present .
“ I am going to reiterate what I said earlier , This is our Moonsinger L Woond .
L is not the first to
–
lose her abilities .
In fact , all the Moonsingers before her experienced the same fate .
”
Murmurs and gasps echoed through the hall .
“ All of them ? ” Elder Eldric , leaned forward , his face lined with disbleife .
“ You’re telling us that the great Moonsingers who led generations of Werewolves and Lycans through countless battles with the Dark One and his armies fought without their powers ? ”
