Ramsey
I nodded severally , mping 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 asionally going hunting .
All of this is alien to me , L .
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 , L … 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 .

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 ept 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 ! ” Iughed .
“ 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 exined .
I sighed , schooling my expression .
“ Fine , we’ve said a lot of things today but I’m not backing downpletely about protecting you .

because of inadequate training .
”
Nathan turned , positioning himself slightly in front of L .
“ That won’t be necessary , Ramsey .
”
“ Won’t be necessary ? ” Iughed “ 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 , ” L 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 , ” L yelled again , silencing both of us .
She turned to me , her eyes zing 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

”
“ 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 , L … as your Lycan Leader , I’ll being 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 viin 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 n 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 foring

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