155 Youre awake ? L After I was sure we were far away from Ramsey and the warriors, I returned to my human form .


    Iy on the ground panting .


    The sky was bright now , birds chirped in the trees , and my dress was soiled .


    So , this was how I got all the clothes stains and bruises ? I was still trembling but filled with a sense of peace I hadnt experienced before .


    What were you thinking ? Ished out to Nymeris .


    Your behaviour with Ramsey waspletely inappropriate ! Inappropriate ? she scoffed .


    Hes our mate , L .


    Wanting to be with your mate is hardly considered inappropriate .


    First , hes not our mate .


    Weve rejected each other a lot of times and … Rejecting your mate without a wolf is not valid , not to mention that he marked Your little stunt with wolfsbane did not diminish the potent of his mark , she interrupted me .


    Didnt you mention moments ago that you like Nathans wolf , Ragnar ? you .


    Yes ! sheughednguidly .


    And I also like Lax and dont mind having both of them .


    The more , the merrier My face turned red .


    I would have sworn it was someone else if she hadnt been a part of Why do you want to be with more than one person ? We cant even handle one , and youre here pinning for two men ? Speak for yourself , she huffed .


    And they are three , actually , she murmured .


    Thats including Xander , and theyre the things I like : one badass evil , one good boy and another badass in bed .


    Since youve been with neither Nathan nor Xander , I cant tell if theyre as good as Ramsey .


    I hope they are .


    I was practically shining red now .


    Y You want to sleep with three people ? I dont mind , she answered again .


    The tendency ofying with either of them is high .


    Theyre connected to us in a way I cannot exin , so Im keeping my options open .


    But you said Ramsey is our mate ! Yeah ! But that doesnt stop us from having fun .


    Since youre not officially together , you can be with Nathan or Xander Will you stop calling Xander ? Hes evil … And sexy as hell … she whispered thest part .


    I just stood there , frozen , deciding ifughing or crying would suffice for the thousand emotions running through me .


    My wolf was acting like an unhinged slut , on Im not a slut , L … she responded , reading my mind .


    Rather , were not , but I have a big appetite , in case you havent noticed .


    When were in heat , we would need to double the pleasure .


    Also , thats one of the easiest ways to strengthen me if Im weak .


    Youre vulgar , Nymeris … Im sure the goddess must have made a mistake because theres no way youre a product of me .


    I am nothing like you .


    You think ? she sneered .


    You slept with a man in the middle of a garden ? You can pretend and suppress all those fantasies in your head from everyone , but you cannot hide them from me .


    I am a product of your thoughts for your information .


    Just shut up ! I bristled , fanning myself .


    Her usations were true .


    Yeah ! sheughed softly .


    I mean it , Nymeris when I said I dont want anyone to know I have you yet .


    Im still navigating through my Moonsinging abilities .


    I dont want to feel pressured .


    Fine ! she sighed .


    Just make sure were never near Ramsey .


    I cant control myself .


    I groaned , pinching the bridge of my nose as the pack house came into view .


    This isnt about not being able to control your strength .


    Until we understand what our roles are , we should be careful .


    Youre going to get us both discovered with stunts like that .


    Her only reply was a dismissive huff before she added , I need to rest ; talk to youter .


    With that , she went silent.


    By the time I reached the pack house , I was exhausted .


    I just had enough energy to tiptoe around the room , careful not to wake Nanny and change out of my soiled dress , which I threw under the bed before copsing on the bed .


    My eyes fluttered close as exhaustion weighed on me like a stone .


    I dont know how long I slept , but the faint sound of movement woke me .


    I blinked groggily , letting out a soft yawn .


    My vision swam before it settled on the familiar figure of Nanny stretching in her chair .


    Good morningt daar Voure swaba cha caid softly touching my forehead .


    Her eu 155 Youre awake ? Good morning , dear.


    Youre awake , she said softly , touching my forehead .


    Her eyes widened .


    Your fever … its gone ! I forced a smile , sitting up slowly .


    Im feeling much better , I said , sounding casual .


    She studied me intently , obviously not convinced by my miraculous healing .


    You look different , she murmured , tilting her head .


    Yesterday , you were so sick barely hanging on , but now , youre practically glowing .


    Even your pulse feels strong .


    Iughed nervously , looking away .


    Thanks for your care , I deflected , hoping to end the scrutiny , but she kept gazing at me .


    Nan , its nothing really .


    Youve hardly left my side .


    If anything , you look like you need to really rest , and you should .


    She ignored me as her hands continued to hover all over my body .


    After a few minutes , her frown deepened , but she nodded .


    Well , I suppose thats good news .


    But you still need to take it easy , okay ? I will , I promised quickly , eager to steer the conversation away from me .


    Id like to bathe and dress myself this morning .


    Im feeling much better .


    She stared at me for a few seconds before nodding .


    All right , but dont push yourself .


    Once she left the room , I hurried to the full length mirror to look at my body , but I was surprised to see that all the scratches and bruises Id sustained earlier had healed .


    I look brand new except for the scrape of a Ferals teeth on my ankle .


    I smiled to myself.


    So , this is what it meant to have a wolf .


    As I dressedter , I couldnt stop staring at my reflection .


    Getting my wolf had truly changed me , both physically and emotionally .


    The silver lines on my hair had fadedpletely , and I felt a sudden burst of energy , something I could never rte to .


    The anxiety that I was just too was now a distant memory , too .


    Satisfied , I decided to see Mother Liora first .


    Her room was tucked in the far corner of our wing , and when I approached , I noticed the door was slightly ajar .


    Getting closer , I caught Ramseys scent , and I froze .


    Curious , I crept closer to the door and leaned in as the voices inside reached me .


    … it was the most beautiful werewolf Ive ever seen .


    It attacked and killed a lot of Ferals .


    There were more than two dozen and several Trinaxes , too .


    That would exin why weve not sighted any of them for nearly a week now .


    Unusual , Mother Liora murmured .


    But are you sure it wasnt one of your warriors ? It wasnt , Mother , Ramsey replied , his voice was filled with frustration .


    Were Lycans , 36 It wasnt , Mother , Ramsey replied , his voice was filled with frustration .


    Were Lycans , not werewolves .


    She was a werewolf , and she looked stronger than we were .


    She moved twice as fast as a Lycan would and defeated the Ferals .


    Can you imagine that ? Something none of us have been able to do since the attacks started , and yet someone .


    singlehandedly did it .


    Its a shame that she left ; now Im dying to know who she is .


    I need to show my gratitude , at least .


    I felt my pulse quicken .


    I pressed closer , straining to hear .


    Did you notice anything else about her aside from your description ? There was a slight pause before Ramsey said animatedly .


    She had a forked tail like it was two but attached to one tail .


    A two tailed werewolf ? Mother Lioras voice was filled with awe .


    Goddess ! Thats a good omen .


    Theyre rare … very rare , and a special breed ; we call them a beautiful mistake made by the Moon Goddess because she does not create them in a way .


    An unlikely pairing forms them or … she paused .


    Im not sure youll understand but that a good sign , Alpha Ramsey Yeah , but is there a way we could find it ? I need to meet her .


    What makes you think its a she ? Mother Liora asked .


    She came to me , rubbed herself against my leg , purred , more like , Ramsey chuckled .


    Can you help me find her ? Im sorry , but there are limits to my powers , and a two tailed wolf cannot be forced to do what it doesnt want to do .


    Since she ran away , she doesnt want to be found .


    Perhaps next time ? I dont know … I heard Ramsey say .


    She just looked so … he trailed off .


    I cant stop thinking about her .


    I need to meet her .


    Alpha , you already have enough womens problems to deal with .


    I wouldnt advise you to add another one to it .


    Tell him ! I said under my breath .


    Taking a deep breath , I opened the door and entered the room .


    Both Mother Liora and Ramsey turned , their brows arched in surprise .


    L , Mother Liora said , eyes wide .


    Youre … awake ?
