Chapter 184
184 Revelations 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 a larger team to comb 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 glared 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 uncomfortably 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 .
Congratulations on your upcoming 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 glances 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 Revelations 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 .
Lyla 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 Lyla is dangerous .
You have to make sure alarm , 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 .
Lyla 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 available now .
My eyes darkened immediately .
I knew what that footage might reveal .
No one is to view it .
1 commanded through the mindlink .
Forward it to me immediately and ensure it stays that way .
Ill handle it .
ins Revelations 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 was coming 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 .
Lyla 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 played 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 more complicated than I can imagine , And then there was another strange man I saw walking into the room with Cassidy She claims 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 Lyla was at the pack when Lyla 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 Lyla ? 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 Lyla .
You swore you love her .
Youve gone all these lengths to prove it .
While do you keep C 184 Revelations 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 too late , 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 become 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 .
