143 The vision … L I left the training ground and wandered back to the Packhouse .


    As soon as I reached , my steps slowed when a familiar scent reached me it was Ramseys .


    What was he doing back to the Packhouse this carly ? He usually came back every night and not in the evening .


    Curiously , I followed his scent until it stopped at a partially open door that was Ramseys den .


    I opened the door slowly without making a sound .


    Pecking inside , I saw him .


    He was slumped in a chair , his head resting on his right hand sleeping .


    Although his expression looked peaceful , I could see how exhausted he was .


    Dark circles framed his closed eyes and his shoulders were sagged in a way Id never seen before .


    I hesitated at the door .


    I should leave right and let him sleep .


    This was the first time I was seeing him since I came to his pack .


    I knew he was avoiding me because of Cassidy , but still … thinking about it made me sad .


    Sighing .


    I turned to leave , but something tugged at my heart .


    At the vulnerability on his face .


    Hed cramp or worse , develop pain in his neck if I let him sleep in that position .


    Against my better judgment , I pushed the door wider and entered , trying to walk as stealthily as I could .


    When I reached his chair , I found the lever and lowered it backwards , then nuzzled him into the lowered chair .


    He didnt stir for once .


    Confirming he was still alive and breathing , I threw a nket I saw on the couch in his office over him , and supported his head on both sides with the throw pillows I saw on the couch too .


    I stood back , satisfied with what I did .


    I stared at him for a moment , fighting the powerful urge to touch him .


    To tuck , the wisps of hair on his face behind his ears .


    It wouldnt be right .


    If Nathan should hear of it , it might offend him , and I didnt want him to think I was having doubts about us .


    Deciding Ive had enough of his pretty face , I turned to leave .


    A searing pain exploded through my chest .


    I gasped , groaning , clutching at my chest as the world around me blurred .


    I saw at least a dozen Ferals charging towards the Southern Border of the White Moon Pack , followed closely by a Trinax .


    Their ws and teeth glinted in the pale light as they advanced .


    When I opened my eyes , my chest was heaving with fear and Ramsey was holding me , worry etched into every line of his face .


    L ? he asked .


    What happened ? Are you hurt ? Should I call Miriam or the Priestess ? I shook my head , my breathing in short bursts .


    No … I saw something , I said , looking around .


    Oh … it was so real , but I think its a vision .


    He frowned and picked me up in one swift motion , taking me to the couch .


    You need to lie down ; you look like youve just seen a ghost .


    Ill get the Priestess and Miriam for you .


    143 The vision But as soon as he ced me on the chair , I pushed his hands away , sitting up .


    No ! I said frantically .


    Listen to me .


    The Southern border theyreing .


    Ferals .


    At least two dozen of them .


    They had their Trinax with them and … You have to rally the warriors and have them prepared : I felt him hesitate as he stared at me with uncertainty .


    Ive not received any reports from our patrols stationed there , surely … Ramsey ! I shouted desperately .


    If you dont listen to me and do as I am going to say , people will die ! I rose to my feet and started pacing .


    The warriors have them approach from a narrow path at the Northwest .


    Silver tipped spears .


    Mountain ash arrows , no modern weapon … nothing human made .


    At all times , they must be together and fight .


    These weapons youre calling are at least a century old .


    We cannot possibly use them like that .


    Are you sure … I AM SURE ! I screeched , grabbing his cor .


    I dont have the slightest idea what Im saying , but Im just saying it as it is in my mind .


    Its like a voice is whispering .


    You must do what I say , Ramsey … please , I beg you .


    If my call is wrong , then Ill take responsibility .


    He stared at me for a few seconds and then nodded .


    Ill send a mind link to Lenny and my Gamma .


    But first , lie down , you look strange .


    I nodded and sat on the couch , shaking my legs .


    A few minutester , Lenny and the Gamma appeared .


    I wasted no time telling them exactly what to use and about the attacks from the Ferals .


    Neither Lenny nor the Gamma raised an eyebrow at what I said .


    They simply nodded and left to go carry out the instructions .


    I waited until Ramsey left before I returned to my room .


    My mind was still spinning with the intensity of the vision and there was this familiar tingling … the one I always have right before I feel Xanders presence and right before a Feral attack .


    Feeling like my heart would burst out of my chest at any second , I left my room and went in search of Mother Liora .


    As I raised my hand to knock on her door , it opened and Nanny emerged .


    She was leaving the room .


    Our gaze met there was still tension from the slight argument we had earlier , so it was awkward .


    What are you doing here ? she asked me immediately .


    Umm… I need to see Mother Liora .


    Theres something I must tell her .


    What thing ? she asked tly .


    I was in a vision and I saw Ferals approaching the Southern border of this pack .


    Then its as if I knew what to do .


    The right weapons , how they should attack and all .


    Ive already informed Ramsey about what to do , but still I feel uneasy .


    Like something else is happening to me .


    None of the books I read on Moonsingers mentioned irvoyance .


    Maybe something is wrong .


    Nothing is wrong ! Nanny said quietly , And you cant see Mother right now .


    Shes resting .


    After that shell prepare for her evening devotions meed it be , contos Why She told me to adwayse to her whenever something Myond and think she need to know appone , I De det Nanny replied verse Shes old and fragile .


    This would only burden ber unessary .


    Since youve told Ramsey what to do , rest easy and forget about it .


    Nothing will happen if they follow your instructions No bets , T she continued .


    And i be better if you do not mention your irvoyance to her eliber .


    Stick to whatever it is Moonsingers do .


    No one should know that you can have visions Rctancy , I nodded , still unable to understand .


    She moved away from the room , and 1 followed ber is something wrong with me having these visions ? Am I not supposed to have them She didnt answer .


    She bussed herself opening her door , making a big production of it .


    I followed het inside her room repeating my question , but she ignored me Omon , six something Nan .


    Dont tell me youre still pissed about earlier A child be rassed all my life told me to my face that I have no business in any decision making that concerns het .


    Splendid Lys .


    Now please leave .


    I need to rest .


    Im joining Motherter for evening devotions Im sorry I sighed .


    You know , I didnt mean it that wa Thats what you always sanc She turned to me , tears glistening in her eyes .


    You always downy how Ive cared for you all these years .


    You think I am not worthy enough to be your mother and its fine Nan I crossed over to where she was , hagging her from behind .


    Im so sorry I must have been out of my mind when I said that .


    You know I love you more than I do my mom , right ? I promise it wont happen again .


    She rolled her eyes .


    Thats what you always say until the next one happens In my defence , you were sounding strange , asking me to leave and all fl leave , its going to be chusotic and , truthfully , I am enjoying having a responsibility .


    Earlier , on the training ground the warriors greeted me .


    They knew I was the Moonsungen ? Everyone knows she sighed.


    And youre stubborn as a mule , so theres nothing I can do about that .


    Despite that , I hope youll reconsider .


    Theres no gain in doing this .


    It might look easy in the gum beginning until it bes worse and then you have to deal with deaths and a whole lot Dont worry , I be fine .


    With you here and the Priestess youre not going back to the human world soon She sighed , turning to face me .


    And leave you here alone ? Nih … I have to make sure youre fine .


    Thats great ! I pped When we go back to Blue Ridge , you can stay with me at Nathans house .


    Theres enough room there No.


    Il pass She shook her head .


    You may not know this , but I risk staying with your mom at 143 The vision … Me Alpha house than stay in the same house with Nathans father .


    We have a lot of bad blood and dont see eye to eye on a lot of things .
