Chapter 99

Ramsey 

— 12 Hours Earlier- ~~ 

It was a few minutes after midnight when we finally arrived at Blue Ridge Pack Me and my entourage which consisted of my grandfather , the core White Mountains Elders and Cassidy who insisted on coming with me despite my refusal .

We made a lot of stops on our way here due to my grandfather’s fragile state and since we were travelling with healers , we had to stop several times for them to attend to him .

Nathan and his father alongside Alpha Logan’s widow had welcomed us , but there was no sign of Lyla .

Was she purposely avoiding me ? 

After we were fed , and I freshened up , everyone went into their room immediately , the journey had worn us out .

However , an hour later , I was still wide awake staring at the ceiling and it didn’t help that Lax was agitated .

Cassidy had slipped into my room at some point , much to Lax’s chagrin and despite my pleas that I wanted to be left alone .

Because of how much Lax disliked her , he was making it impossible for me to get a shut eye .

Finally , at 2.

am , I decided to give up on trying to sleep again .

Risin 

quietly from the bed so as not to wake an already sleeping Cassidy , I threw on a pair of casual clothes before slipping out of the room .

The main building of the pack house still buzzed with activities as servants were making last – minute arrangements for the funeral that would be held later today , so the place was a bit lively .

I passed through them , nodding at their scattered greetings for those who recognized me .

I strolled around a bit around the Alpha building , pretending to be interested in the funeral arrangements being made when in reality , I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Lyla .

It was killing me that since she arrived , I’d been unable to see her .

I’ve been searching all these years and now that I have her at arm’s reach … it’s impossible to even get a peak .

I moved away from the Alpha building and headed for the gate after a while , loving how the cool night air was soothing my frayed nerves .

I had to see her today , no matter what .

Even if it was to corner her and force her to listen to me … I had to .

I was so deep in thought that I didn’t know I had been walking in the direction of the Beta House .

It wasn’t until I was standing at the gate that I realized that .

to 

I wanted to turn back , Dack to the direction I had come from but then , I remembered 

Nathan bragging about Lyla being in his house .

In the end , I let my curiosity get the better of me and walked into the compound .

For a moment , I contemplated going to knock on the doors , like I had done the last time I was here to arrest Nathan but it was late and everyone would be asleep .

Sighing , I circled the main building … looking at the windows , wondering which of the rooms Lyla was sleeping in at this 

moment .

99 12 hours earlier … 

I was so immersed in my thoughts that I didn’t Nathan come up from behind me .

“ Looking for someone ? ” 

When I turned , Nathan emerged from the darkness , staring at me suspiciously .

He had a vicious look on his face .

Despite being caught , I maintained my composure giving him a defiant shrug .

“ I was passing by ” I said calmly .

“ Thought I’d see if Lyla was awake .

Which of the floors is her bedroom on ? ” 

– 

I knew the statement would provoke Nathan that was precisely why I had said it .

However , he responded with an unexpected level of calmness that angered me .

“ I heard movement outside the house and I came out to check … ” he paused slightly holding my gaze .

“ But when I left the room , Lyla was sleeping peacefully .

So , I’m sorry you can’t see her .

It took me nearly two hours to rock her to sleep .

My heart flipped anxiously as the meaning of his words settled on me .

I didn’t know if it was a calculated move to get me equally angry but he succeeded because Lax snarled with jealousy .

The thought of another man sharing a bed with our mate felt like torture .

Fighting to hide the jealousy from my expression , I glanced up at him , but he continued smoothly before I could say another word .

“ Can’t sleep either ? ” He asked with a false friendly tone .

“ Me too .

How about we go for a walk ? Blue Ridge is best appreciated on nights like this .

” 

Without waiting for my response , he turned and started for the gate .

I had no other choice but to fall into step beside him .

We walked for a while , allowing the light from the moon to serve as a beacon .

We didn’t say a word to each other … there was nothing to say .

We hate ourselves .

Suddenly , Nathan spoke , breaking the silence .

“ Have you thought about my offer ? ” 

I scoffed , flashing him an incredulous smile .

“ There was nothing to think about , Nathan .

My answer didn’t change and it won’t in the longest time .

I won’t give up , Lyla … not now not ever .

She’s my mate and I love her .

“ You don’t love her , Ramsey .

You love the idea of having her .

You might want to be intimate with her , you might hate the fact that she’s not one of those weak women you’re used to and you’re pursuing her because you cannot stand the thought of a woman besting you … but you don’t love her : 

“ Just because I don’t want to make our bond public doesn’t count as not loving her .

You’re just an Alpha and a Werewolf at that .

We come from different worlds … you can put up with anything but in my world … perfection is power not warriors , not riches but perfection .

If you’re going to be rich , you have to be perfectly rich … if you’re going to have warriors you have to … ” 

“ Have perfect warriors … ” Nathan completed for me , scratching his cars with his brows scrunched up with irritation .

“ You’ve said that a lot of times already .

Then why don’t you go for your perfect Lycan woman- Cassidy Thorne ? Why are you chasing after a werewolf , Lycan ? ” he 

taunted .

99 12 hours , earlier … 

“ Because she’s my mate my only mate .

” 

He smiled , unbothered by my declaration .

“ I see you’re still as stubborn as ever ,” he mused as a cold smile played on his lips .

“ You know , it never ends well for stubborn people .

” 

I clenched my jaw , feeling my patience thin .

“ And you’re still the most brazen werewolf I’ve ever met .

Nathan .

Every time we meet , you insist on throwing your threats around .

I could crush you with only the flick of my finger , Nathan … do you still remember that I am a Lycan or has your selective amnesia wiped off that information .

” 

“ Long ago ! ” he retorted with a laugh .

“ You’re not anything to me , Ramsey .

I told you … I stopped respecting you from the moment I saw a tear on Lyla’s face and found out you were the cause .

“ Is this a werewolf thing ? Coveting another man’s woman ? I heard y’all act like barbarians … meeting you has confirmed that .

” 

“ She’s not your woman , Ramsey Kincaid ,” he said quietly , flashing me another cold smile “ And she would never be your woman .

You had a chance once but I’ll make it my life’s mission to make sure … you never know what it means to be with someone like Lyla .

” 

I laughed , amused by his confidence .

“ You really scare me .

” 

He took a step closer to me , close enough that I could see the cold , dangerous glint in his eyes .

enhanced by the light from the moon .

“ Let me make you a promise , Lycan Leader Ramsey , he said , his voice dropping to a near – whisper .

“ And then , a threat .

” 

I held his gaze , clamping down on my fighting instinct that hovered at the surface .

“ First , I’ll ensure we renew every trade agreement and every export treaty between Blue Ridge and the White Mountains .

I’ll keep every commitment we’ve made to each other , alliances … you name it .

Business as susual ; his smile grew sharper .

“ But if you don’t leave Lyla alone … ” 

He lowered his mouth to my ear , his voice dropping a notch lower .

“ I will destroy everything precious to you .

I’ll see to it that you lose everything you hold dear .

One day , Ramsey , when you least expect it , I’ll bring you to your knees … I will strike and you’ll never see it coming .

The words hung in the air between us .

Then as if flipping a switch , he took a step back , clapping a hand on my shoulders as if we were friends .

The coldness had left his eyes too , 

“ That , my friend ; he said , grinning , “ Is called a threat .

The first real one I’ve ever made to and hopefully the last .

you 

He straightened his jacket casually .

“ Now , stop loitering around my house , I’m not sure , I’ll be lenient the next time .

It’ll be morning soon and Werewolf funerals are energetic … you should get some sleep .

Good night , my leader 

He gave me a curt bow before he turned on his heels and left .
