Ramsey- T ! I whispered .


    Unalde Trestop myself , rossed over to where she stood and engulfed her in a hug feeling the tigatorss in my chest dissipate at once .


    For two days since I carried her from the training ground to her room , havent been able to visit her because of Cassidy .


    Seeing her now, looking healthy that deathly pallor she had on previously had been reced by sparkling eyes filled withughter and warmth .


    As I pressed into her , Laz stirred , filling me with warm courses of lust , causing me to lean into L , inhaling her That scent ! Laxs voice filtered into my head .


    Ive perceived it before .


    This morning … What ? Heaned closer , sniffing her neck .


    The scent sent a familiar message to my brain .


    That two tailed werewolf from this morning had had a simr scent , not just that .


    Lax had growled excitedly when she came to rub herself against my leg and called her mate .


    Its faint , but it feels like her , Lax sald again .


    She doesnt have a wolf , buddy , I replied .


    Youre still hung up with that werewolf , and you have her scent registered in your brain .


    It cannot be L … she was sick and has been bedridden L pushed away from me before Lax could finish speaking , taking a step backwards .


    and smiling at me before turning to Mother Liora .


    Mother , are you well ? she asked .


    I am now that I see you .


    You look so … Healthy ? she finished ,ughing .


    I feel much better thanks to you and Nanny , and of course , she turned to me again ; I saw anxiety sh through her eyes .


    And to you too , Alpha .


    Im super grateful .


    I nodded absentmindedly , giving her a scrutinizing gaze .


    Within me , Lax was still Insisting that the werewolfs scent from this morning was on L .


    You were at deaths door just days ago , I intoned .


    And now youre … fine ? I recover quickly , she replied , meeting my eyes with defiance .


    Since when ? I asked , allowing my eyes to hover the length of her body , looking for signs that she was the wolf from the morning to confirm Laxs suspicion .


    Since discovering my abilities as a Moonsinger , she fired back .


    Are you not happy that I am fine ? Were you hoping that Id die so that Nathan would not mate with me properly ? Why are you bringing him up ? I arched a brow .


    We were talking about you , and I dont want a strand of hair harmed on your head .


    Youre my mate , too , and I love you .


    Her cheeks turned red as she gave Mother Liora a furtive nce , ring at me .


    You cannot say such words in front of- Why not ? Mother Liora interrupted , her eyes crinkling with amusement .


    Just because we do not have mates doesnt mean I dont know what love is , and believe me , L … Ive heard my fair share of vulgar , uncensored words .


    Your mother , for instance , used to pick up bad words whenever we went out for a cleansing ceremony in other packs .


    * Fuck ! I muttered under my breath , realizing what Mother Liora had just done and .


    hoping L didnt catch on .


    My mother ? Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she asked , She lived with you ? she asked .


    I felt Mother Liora freeze in realization of what she had just done .


    Almost immediately , she smiled at L , tapping her hands apologetically .


    I used to go to your mothers pack when she was still a girl .


    She was feisty .


    Really ? her eyes shone with amusement .


    Mom was feisty ? She doesnt seem like it .


    When I was little , I and Nathan would call her the Ice Queen behind her back because she was so cold to everyone , including me .


    Even Dad would dying home most times whenever shes angry .


    My y gaze met Mother Lioras over Ls head , and she sighed with relief .


    Its a blessing to see you well again , my dear .


    But you should still rest .


    Your body has been through so much .


    I appreciate your concern , Mother , L said , her voice softening .


    But I wanted to tell you Id like to return to Blue Ridge as soon as possible .


    I miss Nathan so much , and Ive been away for too long .


    Im sure he must have been worried these few days , not being able to speak with me .


    Two tailed skint I had your mother … Mother Liora started again and paused halfway , wringing her hands in distress .


    What she means , I continued smoothly .


    We called your mother and told her you were sick , then asked her to tell Nathan so he wouldnt worry .


    Yes , Mother Liora nodded .


    We also told him youd call as soon as you get well .


    Have you called him yet ? A naughty smile crept up Ls face .


    I havent yet , but instead of calling him , how about I travel down there and show up as a surprise to him ? Mother Liora frowned .


    You need more time to heal .


    Perhaps in a few days .


    Im really strong , Mother … she whined , And I miss Nath so much .


    The roads are dangerous now , L , I said from behind , holding her gaze as she turned to look at me .


    For instance , today we walked into a pile of dead Ferals … more than five dozen … Wow ! her eyes widened with surprise .


    Really ? How is that even possible ? That should be the highest kill so far .


    Except the other day , I saw that vision and told you .


    She looked genuinely surprised .


    There was no way she was the wolf , and neither did she act like she knew what I was talking about .


    Yeah ! I nodded , still watching her closely , But the thing is , the werewolf responsible for doing all of that is nowhere to be found .


    Were still looking for her and … It was a werewolf ? she didnt let me finish .


    Her beautiful eyes popped out of her head .


    How is that even possible ? We dont know that yet , child , Mother Liora replied , turning her gaze back to her .


    I want you to stay for the Harvest Moon Festival .


    The full moon ising soon , and it will be a significant day for all the packs in our world .


    Are you saying you will ask all the Alphas toe to the White Mountain Region ? Isnt that risky ? Didnt you say there are feral threats and the roads are unsafe to travel on ? Yes ! Mother Liora answered , returning her gaze to her again .


    But it would be only Alphas from the Cardinal Werewolves and Lycans packs .


    It would be small and intimate .


    We would do everything needed , and then other packs can join us virtually .


    And the security situation ? she asked .


    She wouldnt ask that if she was the wolf , right ? Well take care of that dont worry e the Hameet Moon Butual and ite secantial 156 Two tailed scent Well take care of that , dont worry .


    Its the Harvest Moon Festival , and its essential .


    Concentrate on getting better , you can leave with Nathan when hees .


    How about .


    that ? She nodded , though she jutted her lower lip into a pout , begging for a kiss .


    Fine , Ill wait .


    She muttered something else about going to find Miriam before she turned and left the room .


    As soon as Mother Liora and I were alone , she heaved a deep sigh , copsing on her chair .


    Ive never been so scared as I was today .


    That was so close .


    She murmured .


    So.


    Miriam is Ls mother indeed ? I chuckled , nodding my head .


    Its not hard to see .


    Theyre alike in lots of ways .


    Ill ask Lenny toe to youter .


    Tell him what the Priestesses will need for the Harvest Moon Festival .


    Ive got to go now .


    They need me .


    She nodded , and I slipped out of the room , practically chasing Ls scent .


    I finally caught up with her at the door to her room .
