131 Day of cleansing II Lyla I didnt know why I said that but the sudden urge to hurt his fragile ego came out of nowhere and now I couldnt resist the urge .

Its none of my business , Lyla … as far as he teaches you how to protect yourself , then both of you can do whatever you want to do , I dont care .

Why are you sounding that way , like youre angry ? I asked .

When you were busy making apologies for your woman , I responded like a normal person .

Why does Nathans name trigger you ? I dont know what youre talking about , Lyla , he exhaled and turned away from me .

We stood in the corridor in awkward silence before he broke it again with a sigh .

Youre right , Im jealous of you and Nathan and the fact that he seems to be handling these Feral attacks better than me … all the Elders of the White Moon Council cannot stop talking about his leadership .

So annoying .

Hell teach you if you want to learn … He glared at me , making me laugh .

After a few seconds , he joined in the laughter and the tension around us eased .

When I looked up , he was studying me … his amber eyes were fixed on me as if ,! was something precious .

I felt my cheeks heating up .

W What ? Why are you looking at me like that ? I asked .

You know , you look a lot like Miriam .

Its uncanny .

I used to think you had just your fathers eyes but … one glance at Miriam … I could have sworn shes you in the dark .

Really ? my eyes lightened .

People say that all the time .

You know , back in the human world , shes my mother and people have never questioned it .

She was my Nanny … practically raised me too .

I heard that a child can look like the person who raised them .

I guess its true .

Ramsey tilted his head but didnt say anything .

Anyways , I heard there was an attack earlier .

I hope no one was injured ? He looked away , exhaling heavily .

It was rough but we managed .

Your boyfriend was kind .

enough to lend up some weapons , they were very effective .

The mention of Nathans name brought another awkward pause between us .

I cleared my throat .

I should go , the priestess should be waiting He nodded .

Ill take · to the lake but in case we spend a night here , can you try and be extra careful ? Watch what you eat and drink .

Im worried , Cassidy might try to harm you .

I could see there was a story behind his worry but I didnt want to bother about that especially now .

So I simply nodded .

Ill keep that in mind : When we arrived at the lake , the Priestess and Miriam were already standing at the edge , they Fund Tanged into white gowns similar to mine .

The priestess came to me immediately , smiling at me as she took my hands .

This deansing may be dangerous because Leannot tell how much of the Dark Ones poison has taken root in you .

But dont be afraid, Miriam will guide you I glanced at Nanny , wondering for the thousandth time what she was doing here in the first place .

After the incident with Xander , I didnt want to ask questions partly because I was afraid ! wouldnt be able to handle the truth now I wished I had Nanny gave me a reassuring nod but still didnt speak the stepped into the lake first , her movements fluid and practised as if she had done this a lot of times .

The lake that had been moving with the wind a moment ago suddenly went still .

Also , Im sorry but we do not know what to expect and we can only hope that you will open yourself to us , for us to be able to take out the root of the Dark Ones poison ; the priestess said .

I dont understand .

What am I supposed to sell see ? I dont know , the priestess shook her head .

How will she open herself up to you when she doesnt know what shes looking for ? Ramsey asked from where he stood at the shore of the lake .

If its too dangerous , I dont think she should go through with it .

We can find other ways ! There is no other way , Alpha Ramsey .

I know youre worried about her but this is the only way .

Miriam would serve as a link to her and us and would tell us what she sees .

Thats the only way we can help her .

A few days more and tyla would really be in trouble .

The mark is suppressing her from reaching her full potential The priestess said .

But well be careful , okay ? she added .

Fine I took in a deep breath Ill try my best Thesitated , feeling that familiar tingling I always get whenever I feel Xander .

Trying to push back the fear , I followed after her inside the lake , clenching my teeth as the coolness bit at my skin .

Nanny came to me , linking her hands with mine .

Close your eyes ; the priestess instructed .

And I complied immediately .

Miriams grip on my hand tightened and in the next instant , she began to chant words in the old tongu At first , nothing happened , I just stood there , waiting , with my thoughts racing .

But then a strange sensation washed over me and in the next instance , something began to pull me downward into a dark tunnel .

I wanted to scream but my voice felt stuck at the back of my throat .

I continued to fall through the dark tunnel until finally , it stopped .

I was panting now … my heart going twice as fast as it was before .

Topened my eyes , cracking them gently at first before opening them fully .

131 Day of evang I gasped in shock as I took in my surroundings .

I was no longer in the lake , this was not the White Lake pack .

I was in my old bedroom , the place where I and Nanny lived together in the human world before we moved away after the saga with Xander .

Everything looked exactly as I remembered the pale blue walls , my bed by the window , my always cluttered desk … And there , sitting on my bed was a man , his legs were crossed casually with a broad , confident smile across his face .

Welcome Lyla he said smoothly .
