184 Revtions and deceptions … Ramsey The council hall was filled with scattered conversations as the Elders of the White Moon Pack gathered around the long , intricately carved oak table .


    They were still talking about the two tailed wolf .


    Although the festival had ended four days earlier , they were still discussing finding and capturing the two tailed wolf .


    I leaned back in my chair , staring at them as they deliberated .


    asking for more help from the Panthers to track down the wolf .


    Finally , one of the senior elders cleared his throat .


    Alpha , we must act swiftly .


    I think hiring the services of the Panthers would be more effective .


    If the two tailed wolf is left unchecked , it could pose a threat to the White Mountain region .


    In the meantime , we could deploy arger team tob the northern forest … No ! I said firmly interrupting him .


    They suddenly fell into silence .


    All eyes turned to me as I leaned forward , my forearms resting on the table .


    The room , which moments ago had been filled with chatter was now quiet .


    We will not waste the packs resources on chasing shadows , I continued staring at each of them .


    The two tailed wolf has not been seen since the festival .


    If it intended to harm , we would have already felt it .


    As far as Im concerned , that chapter is closed But , Alpha … another elder tried to protest .


    1 red at him , freezing the words in his throat .


    Do you wish to challenge my judgment , Elder ? I am days away from getting married .


    I should be resting and rejuvenating for my wedding not doing this .


    So , do you have any objection ? The room seemed to shrink as all of them shifted ufortably in their seats .


    My grandfather stared back at me .


    Weve not been on talking terms since the festival and honestly , I didnt care that much .


    No , Alpha , the Elder said quietly .


    Good , I nodded and stood , signalling the end of the discussion .


    As I moved towards the door .


    Elder Mia suddenly spoke .


    Congrattions on your uing wedding , Alpha .


    A union like yours will bring much prosperity to the pack .


    I paused , looking over my shoulders with an impassive expression .


    Is that all ? The Elders exchanged uncertain nces before collectively nodding .


    Without another word , 1 strode out .


    Back at the pack house , I started immediately to my room .


    As I arrived , I met Cassidy waiting for me by my door .


    She had a pale pallor , that worried me .


    I was afraid she would pass out at any moment .


    184 Revtions and deceptions ….


    What are you doing here ? I asked trying not to show the irritation in my voice .


    You should be resting She lifted her eyes to meet mine , her hands beside her clutched at her sides as if they held her upright .


    Ramsey , she said softly , in a trembling voice .


    I need to talk to you .


    Its urgent My gaze flickered to the maids hovering nearby behind her .


    I could see their curious eyes .


    darting between me and Cassidy .


    I suppressed a sigh .


    If I didnt let her in , by evening , the entire pack would be filled with tales and refusing her , might create a scene .


    Come .


    I said , motioning for her to follow me .


    I opened the door to my room and ushered her in .


    The moment , the door clicked shut behind us , she whirled around , her eyes were wild and full of emotion .


    L tried to kill me , she blurted out .


    I froze and then slowly turned to face her .


    She what ? I asked .


    That night , she began her voice rising .


    After you left us in that room , she she called a man .


    A strange man .


    She called him the Dark One .


    They both tried to kill me .


    When I tried to raise L is dangerous .


    You have to make sure rm , they knocked me unconscious .


    Im telling you shes arrested .


    Her voice broke as tears simmered in her eyes .


    She looked at me expectantly , as if she was waiting for an immediate reaction .


    But I said nothing as I processed her words .


    Okay I finally said .


    Okay ? Cassidy repeated , huffing .


    Thats all you have to say ? Ramsey , she tried to kill me ! To murder your mate and you just say , okay ? Standing there like I dont matter at all .


    Dont you care about what happens to me at all ? I bit back an angry growl .


    What do you want me to do , Cassidy ? I asked , trying to restrain my anger .


    Should I storm into Blue Ridge Pack and kill her ? Would that make you happy ? She faltered ; I could feel her frustration mounting .


    I just … I dont understand why youre not taking this seriously .


    Shes a threat , Ramsey ! But not a murderer .


    L is not capable of harming anyone take it from me .


    I dont know what you saw or what transpired between both of you that night and if you feel like you need to trash .


    out your grievances , then do so .


    Dont hide behind the … Before I could respond , Lennys mindlink tugged into my mind , cutting into my thoughts .


    Alpha , the footage for the Harvest Moon Festivals CCTV cameras is avable now .


    My eyes darkened immediately .


    I knew what that footage might reveal .


    No one is to view it .


    1manded through the mindlink .


    Forward it to me immediately and ensure it stays that way .


    Ill handle it .


    ins Revtions and deceptions .


    on the verge of crying .


    Ill look into what youve said , I told her curtly .


    But for now , you need to rest Without waiting for her response , I left my room , leaving her standing alone .


    The walls of the pack house suddenly felt too confining , the air too thick .


    I needed space to think , to process everything .


    Just as I was walking out of the pack house , bumped into Lenny He had a puzzled expression on his face .


    I wasing to see you , he said quietly .


    Are you going out ? I nodded .


    I want to clear my head .


    Then we can talk while were walking , he murmured and fell into steps next to me .


    We had walked a distance away from the pack house when Lenny suddenly paused and turned to me .


    L is the two tailed werewolf ? I stayed quiet for a heartbeat before nodding .


    Yes , she is ! Did the CCTV capture her changing ? Yes ! Lenny nodded .


    While the person in charge was rendering it .


    He stepped out of the room for a few seconds .


    The video finished rendering and I wanted to just copy it out into the folder when I yed it instead .


    I still cannot believe it .


    Did she tell you ? I shook my head .


    Nathan knows .


    Theyve known all this time , Shes always had the wolf Wow ! Lenny scoffed .


    This is moreplicated than I can imagine , And then there was another strange man I saw walking into the room with Cassidy She ims its the Dark One ? Do you know if its the same analysis we got from the previous recording of Cassidys mother meeting with some strange people ? I havent analyzed it yet but I will , privately though .


    Because I dont know if a mole is working with them There is ! I said woodenly .


    Its not surprising that White Lake Pack is yet to suffer any attacks not even a single one and I know what I saw that night when L was at the pack when L went for the cleansing ritual .


    I dont know but a lot is going on with them .


    Also , my grandfather fears Elder Thorne more than anyone .


    How ? Lenny asked .


    He has mentioned that were in huge debt to him and his pack .


    Not just that , Miriam said something about my grandfather making a choice .


    I tried to ask her but she wouldnt say .


    Ive been trying to be careful when dealing with the Elders and my grandfather , I dont know … He knows about L ? Yes , and Elder Thorne knows too .


    Im trying to figure out just how much they know and for her sake , Im threading carefully .


    They could use their knowledge to try to punish her in some sort of way and that is what I fear more than anything You could have said something to her , Ramsey , Lenny sighed .


    I dont understand your deal with L .


    You swore you love her .


    Youve gone all these lengths to prove it .


    While do you keep C 184 Revtions and deceptions hesitating ? Why was I hesitating ? Im afraid she would reject me .


    She has a lot of reasons to do that , you know Not if you confess everything to her genuinely .


    I nodded , hating how my heart squeezed with sadness .


    Its toote , now , Lenny .


    I received a memo from the Alpha Council about them getting married tomorrow .


    I cant do anything now and I love her enough to let her go .


    And keep protecting her from afar ? Do I have a choice ? I smiled sadly .


    Anyways , have someone prepare a gift for them .


    Its going to be a really small wedding , so theyre not inviting a lot of people physically .


    Lenny nodded .


    Once shes properly mated to Nathan Tanner , you dont need to worry about protecting her .


    Shell be immune … ( 0) I know that , and the first thing I would do is to disband the Elders council .


    Are all the candidates weve chosen ready ? Yes , Lenny added .


    But theres one tiny problem .


    What ? I turned to him .


    Nathan didnt sign the agreement like the other Alphas .
