Chapter 138
138 Who am I supposed to be ? Lyla Ramsey stared at me for a few seconds and then shook his head .
Is that how much youre thirsty for a man ? What will your beloved boyfriend do when he hears you say this ? I rolled my eyes , exhaling deeply .
My heart has stopped racing at least but the memory everything still lingered in my mind .
Whatever ! I hissed .
of I know this is the wrong time to ask this but … are you happy with Nathan ? Does he make you laugh at least ? Ramsey asked suddenly .
I paused , looking for the best way to reply him .
He doesnt make me cry at least , I sighed again , loving the way he flinched at my accusation .
Ive known Nathan for a long time and hes always treated me well but the way he treats me now ! I smiled Its much better .
Its clear , he doesnt see me as a friend anymore and that he loves me .
He nodded with a quiet smile .
Im glad .
How about Cassidy ? Do you love her ? He smiled and raised his face to look at me .
Love is a deep word but I care enough for her , so much that I think I can marry her and stay married .
Theres not much to marriage and we will both be busy with doing our duties , so Im sure itll be easy .
So transactional , I sucked my teeth Both of you deserve each other .
Im sure I and Nathan will do just fine too .
Hes … But I still love you … He interrupted , making the words I wanted to say freeze on my lips .
I dont think I can stop doing that .
If Nathan doesnt treat you well … He will , dont worry ! I said quickly .
The room was growing grim .
Can we stop all this emotional talk ? Its getting on my nerves already .
We stayed like that for a few seconds before he broke the silence again .
The Dark One , what does he look like ? he asked .
As I opened my mouth to respond , the door opened and Nathan , Nanny and the High Priestess re entered the room .
Nathan , now cleaned up but pale , let out a small , wry laugh as he came straight and sat on my bed .
If the Dark One looks anything like what I saw in her mind … he paused , reaching for my hand Id say hes ridiculously handsome .
It annoys me so much .
Yes , Nanny laughed , she seemed collected too .
I thought so the first day I saw him .
He looks .
nothing like the evil written about him .
Is that even his real appearance ? Everyone turned to the Priestess .
He should even be better than what you saw , Im sure .
Hes been around for a long time .
So , 138 Who am I supposed to ba ? there might be changes but theres no talk about him taking the appearance of anything else .
So … yeah … How handsome can he be ? Ramsey scoffed .
Tall , well built , sharp jawline , piercing eyes hes got the whole dark and dangerous look , the kind that ladies love .
Its so infuriating , Ramsey rolled his eyes but didnt say anything further .
So , the High Priestess stepped forward , Can you tell us what happened ? Do you remember anything at all ? Even the tiniest of detail should not be left out .
Ramsey raised a hand , cutting her off .
Mother Liora , not now .
She needs to rest .
Im sure therell be time to talk later .
The priestess hesitated , her gaze flickering between me and Ramsey before she nodded .
I guess 50 .
Also , Ramsey added straightening .
Its better we move her from White Lake Pack .
Ill feel at ease if I know shes not here .
We could send her to White Moon or Blue Ridge ? his gaze strayed to Nathan .
I think home would be better Nathan nodded .
Why were they suddenly acting like friends ? The priestess frowned .
Shes not fit to travel yet but youre right , we should move her elsewhere .
We could keep her in your pack , Lycan Leader , then when shes strong enough shell return home .
Everyone nodded at her suggestion .
Ramsey started towards the door , before he turned to leave , he announced .
Ill go now and arrange transport .
As the door closed behind him , my mind whirred with thoughts as Xanders words came to me .
You will not end up with the Alpha .
Its either me or Ramsey .
Could it be true ? Could Ramsey after everything be tied to my fate in ways I didnt fully understand ? But he was marrying Cassidy soon ? Should I take Xanders words to heart ? My gaze drifted to Nathan , he looked tired but he was massaging my legs , muttering something about circulation .
It would break his heart if we didnt end up together but how ? As far as I could see , there was nothing in the way of 1 and Nathan becoming mates .
But , I couldnt resist Xanders assessment .
And then there was the wolf .
Id heard the voice , felt its presence in that dark room and we had.
spoken .
Was it real , or just a fragment of my imagination ? The High Priestess had insisted that Moonsingers didnt have wolves and though the wolf had given me a vague explanation , it was all too confusing for me .
My gaze drifted to the door , Ramsey had just exited .
The memory of his gentle touch , warm and reassuring still lingered .
Despite the rift between us , I always feel comfortable around him .
Naanite his saldnann Ihad mann mauathlua umanalına la bila a mulat nain that 138 Who am I supposed to be ? iny confusion .
And then Nathan again ! My gaze returned to him .
I saw the worry etched on his face as he was watching me as if I might disappear at any moment .
He had stopped massaging my feet and was doing my hands .
2 My heart ached at the unanswered questions .
For the first time in my life , I saw what could become of this world if I refused to take up my duty as a Moonsinger .
Thanks to Xander , I had seen another aspect of his power and heard a little of what he planned to do .
As someone who has always run away from confronting her emotions , I wanted clarity answers to all the questions swirling in my mind .
But how would I find them if I left ? If I go back to the human world … would I be fulfilled ? Even back then , it was never enough … I was never truly happy but these days , I was catching glimpses of happiness here and there .
Maybe staying would not be a bad idea .
My eyelids drooped ; I was struggling to stay awake but it wasnt just working .
I had a wolf and I was the Moonsinger .
The last thought I had before sleep claimed me was simple but overwhelming : Who am I supposed to be ? And somewhere in between sleep and wakefulness , I prayed silently that I would never betray Nathan … because it felt like that storm was brewing overhead .
