130 Day of cleansing .

Lyla The sun hung low on the White Mountains when we arrived at White Lake Pack .

The evening light cast long shadows across the landscape creating an almost ethereal atmosphere .

If I thought that Ramseys pack was beautiful , I had no words to describe the beauty I saw at White Lake ..

I sat quietly as we drove into the Pack , staring out of the window as the fading sunlight bathed the landscape in hues of gold and orange .

I was nervous .

I had no idea what the outcome of the cleansing would be and I still didnt understand what Nanny was doing here .

Earlier , when I wanted to talk to her , the high priestess told me she would not be able to hold conversations until the cleansing ceremony was over and that she needed to maintain her aura .

I had no idea what that meant but I decided all my questions would wait until after the ceremony .

Beside me , the Priestess maintained an equally serene demeanour , occasionally murmuring words under her breath .

Ramsey and Lenny had come with us because the Priestess demanded it too .

I didnt know what roles they were supposed to play .

As our vehicle pulled up in front of the pack house , the Priestess stepped out first , followed by Miriam who moved with a grace that I didnt know she possessed , her ceremonial robes flowed around her like liquid silver .

Ramsey and Lenny followed before I finally mustered the courage to step out too .

Welcome to our Pack , Elder Thorne and a woman who had a striking resemblance to Cassidy murmured with bright smiles on their face as they bowed curtly to Ramsey before they turned to greet the priestess .

Thank you , Elder Thorne , the priestess nodded .

Well take it from here .

Then she turned to me .

Well perform the cleansing during the evening devotion .

Its the best time and you should change into this too .

She reached into her bag and pulled out a plain white ceremonial gown .

I asked them to prepare a room for you in advance .

Bathe , change into these clothes and meet us by the lake .

Alpha Ramsey , can you wait for her ? I assume youre more familiar with the pack and Beta Lenny come with us I nodded as the Priestess , Miriam and Lenny started off a path by the side of the pack house .

I turned to Elder Thorne who smiled at me .

The room prepared for you is down the hall .

? I nodded and started going toward the direction of the room when Ramsey suddenly rushed ahead of me in quick strides .

Surprise , I was about to protest when he pushed open the door first .

Trying not to scream out his name , I sprinted to the room .

Ramsey , what … I began but my words died in my throat when I saw his brows knitted in intense concentration .

C 130 Day of cleansing He was examining the room , his hands carefully moving over each item there .

What are you doing ? I asked , startled .

He didnt answer immediately .

Instead , he picked up a small vial from the bedside table and held it up to the light .

His jaw tightened as he pocketed it , then turned to me .

Cassidy , he muttered grimly .

Cassidy ? I rolled my eyes giving him a questioning glance .

What happened to her ? He gestured to a faintly glowing crystal hanging near the window and a decorative bowl on the dresser filled with small , harmless looking herbs .

This is all her doing , Im sure .

The vial , the crystal , the herbs they can harm you .

I scoffed , I knew our last meeting didnt end well but this ? What do you mean , harm me ? Why would she … Shes not herself these days , Lyla , Ramsey interrupted me in a low voice .

Let me apologize on her behalf .

Shes unusually paranoid and has been making wild threats .

Im just making sure she doesnt try to harm you for real Harm me ? If shes having issues with her mental health , why is she allowed to exist among normal people ? This is ridiculous .

I hissed .

I dont have time for … You dont , he interrupted me and gestured toward the door .

Go to my room and change .

Its safer there , come let me take you .

I hesitated scanning the room wondering what else was hidden .

Since I had to meet the priestess soon , I decided this wasnt time to argue , grabbing my things , I turned and followed after Ramsey to his room .

Inside his room , I bathed and quickly changed into the ceremonial gown .

It was simple , nothing elegant , the soft white fabric felt like flowing water around me .

When I came out , I saw Ramsey waiting at the door .

Thank you , I said woodenly , avoiding his gaze .

He nodded , his expression unreadable .

Im sorry , he said after a moment .

For Cassidys actions .

Shell feel more at ease when we finally get married , Im sure and shell stop seeing you as a threat .

I apologize on her behalf again .

She must have caused a lot of ruckus when she learnt I was coming here ? He nodded , But its fine now , I promise .

I had her parents put her away , she wont disturb you in any way , I shrugged .

Its fine .

We stood there in silence for a moment , before Ramsey finally broke it .

Hows your training going ? Im sorry I havent come so far , its just that , theres been a lot going on .

With the multiple Feral attacks weve been having recently … he trailed off I didnt think that far ahead .

All the times Ive met , Ramsey … it was either he was breathing down my neck with instructions or demanding my attention but not this … acting meek and cute .

It was very suspicious .

130 Day of cleansing him .

I knew you werent going to come .

Not only do we live far apart , but your fiancée would not allow it .

I was making sure you and Nathan had enough time to explore your relationship .

I didnt want to be a third wheel , he retorted , glaring at me .

I chuckled .

Are you jealous of Nathan now ? And youre correct , our training always has the perfect endings …
