It was my turn to be surprised .

“ Y – You knew about

that ? ”

“ C’mon , Ramsey , ” Lenny scoffed “ You went into the Northern forests for her , no woman can make you do that except your mate and I also know you rejected her which I think was hasty .

There must be a reason for her inability to shift .

She’s like an Omega or a

Gamma .

Her parents are Alpha blood .

”

“ That’s not true … ” I stuttered .

“ Don’tplicate things , Alpha , ” he said softly “ I know everything and I’ve been waiting for you to say something about her being your mate , but since you didn’t , I thought I shouldn’t bring it up , but giving the situation on how everything turned out , I had no choice .

I believe that we should look into L more .

”

“ What are you driving at ? ” I asked staring at him strangely .

“ Ever heard of a wolfless Alpha before ? That’s what doesn’t add up .

There must be a reason she cannot shift .

I think you should talk to her parents .

See if they know anything that could exin all this .

Something is going on with L – the Ferals didn’t suddenly appear , I checked and they showed up here when she came to the White Mountain Region .

Suddenly , they disappeared exactly one week after she left .

You’re Alpha – maybe her parents will tell you something useful .

”

My mind raced , connecting dots I hadn’t seen before .

Could there be more to L met the eye ?

“ What do you suggest ? ” I asked .

“ I think we should invite her parents for an official meeting .

There must be some backstory .

They might have information we don’t , ” Lenny proposed .

I shook my head .

“ It’ll draw eyebrows if they suddenlye here .

I’ll go to them .

I’m tired of hiding my condition from my grandfather and hiding from

Cassidy too .

This will give me a good excuse to leave the pack for a few days and the fresh air might do me good .

”

Lenny nodded .

“ I’ll make the arrangements ready immediately .

You need any break you can get .

You already look like hell .

”

As Lenny left , I paced my room , suddenly feeling invigorated .

L’s scent had helped a lot and had made me much better than I was when I left the healer’s quarters .

My gaze strayed to the box that had the scarf , I crossed over to where it was and opened the box again .

Without thinking , I pressed it to my nose , inhaling the whileter , I decided rich scents that filled me .

A s

to go take my bath .

I stripped if my clothes , but before I could reach the bathroom , there was a knock on the door .

froze my senses on high alert .

It was certainly not Lenny , he never knocks .

Plus , I wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone , especially not in my current state .

The knock came again , more insistent this time .

“ Ramsey ? It’s Cassidy .

I know you’re in there , can we talk ? ” she called out from the other side .

My heart sank .

Cassidy .

What did she want ? Our engagement announcement was set for the end of the month .

A week and three days away .

Why was she here now ?

Lax growled for the first time in days .

“ Don’t open the

door , I don’t want her scent on us .

”

My eyes flicked to the door , debating whether to answer .

I knew she wouldn’t leave until I did .

But Lax was right .

Her scent , once neutral to me , now irritated me .

It was nothing like the scent I craved – L’s .

“ Don’t ” Lax warned again .

“ She’s not our mate .

”

“ I’m busy , Cassidy ,” I called ou

U’s talkter .

”

I heard a huff of frustration , followed by retreating- footsteps .

I sighed and opened the bathroom door .

My mind drifted back to L , and a deep ache settled in my chest .

What would it take for me to have her scent near me again ? If only I could figure out why she couldn’t shift , maybe – just maybe- we could be together without hiding .

“ Lax ! ” I murmured , “ I want her more than you can imagine .

If you can figure out a way to make her shift , I won’t hesitate to make her ours .

I swear .

cascade over my aching body .

As the steam filled the room , my mind wandered to L’s scent and I

imagined her soft lips brushing against my skin , her body pressed close to mine as I kissed every inch of

her .

Desire flooded through me as I let myself remember the swell of her breast , the way she had arched when she had been under me .

My hand moved over to myself as I gave in to the fantasy .

My breath hitched as I stroked myself , heat pooling in

* h me .

I groaned , my gut as I imagined her her running my hand up and downy shaft , coating it with the clear liquid that had seeped out of me , imagining it was L’s wet juices .

I stroked harder , cing my hand on the wall for support , as I pounded into L in my mind , watching her twist and turn with want .

The fantasy overwhelmed me , consuming me as I felt my body reaching for my release .

My pleasure reached its peak , and I growled out her name like a plea .

I wanted her , needed her in ways I couldn’t fully understand .

Lax howled in agreement , pushing me further into the fantasy , into the heat of our imagined

connection .

As the water continued to pour over me , I surrendered to my want , allowing myself to forget – if only for a moment – the unbearable pain of our separation .

Two dayster

The convoy of sleek ck SUVs rolled into Blue Ridge Pack territory , our arrival causing a stir among the warriors on duty .

As we approached the Blue Ride Packhouse , I felt my heart pounding with dread and

icipation .

I was here to see L’s parents but I hoped I would see L , even if it was just for a second .

Since myst conversation with Lenny , Lax had grown increasingly restless .

I was getting a bit better and the potions from the pack healer seemed to be working but no amount of potions or distraction could ease the longing I felt .

And now , here I was , under the pretence .

of meeting her parents .

The vehicles finally came to a stop and I stepped out , nked by Lenny and a dozen warriors we had travelled with to avoid suspicion .

Waiting for us

outside the pack house was Alpha Logan , his wife and his other daughter , rissa .

She had no resemnce to L .

Alpha Logan came forward with unease and dipped his head in respect .

“ Lycan Leader , ” he greeted cautiously .

“ This is … an unexpected visit .

What brings you to our pack ? To

what do we owe this honour ? ”

I had anticipated this question but now that it was time to respond , the answer sounded foolish to me .

I hadn’t fully nned what I would say and the reason that had made sense while on the suddenly feltme .

Was it even worth admitting that I was here for L ? Did I want them , to know she had once been my

mate ?

“ Your daughter , L , where is she ? ” I said finally .

“ I’vee to see her .

”

A flicker of surprise crossed Alpha Logan’s face , followed quickly by an exchanged nce between him and his wife .

Their daughter shifted ufortably behind them .

After a long pause , Alpha Logan spoke , his voice

trembling slightly .

“ Lycan Leader , whatever wrong L has done , we beg of you – please spare our pack .

” “ We knew something was amiss when she returned home a few days ago , iming you let her go but we had no idea .

If she’s caused any offence , we’ll make amends .

But please , don’t hold it against us .

”

My brows furrowed in confusion as I raised my hand to silence Alpha Logan’s pleas .

Why would they think I was here to punish their daughter ? And why wasn’t he begging on her behalf but for the pack ?

“ L has done nothing wrong , ” I

struggling to keep the emotion

sharply ,

of my voice .

“ I’m

here because … ” I trailed off , suddenly realizing I had no prepared excuse for my visit .

Lenny must have noticed I was nked and stepped in smoothly as he often did when things became overwhelming for me .

“ L was wounded by a Feral in the Northern forests near the White Mountain Region a few days ago .

The Lycan Leader is here to inquire about her well – being .

” “ Attacked by a Feral ? ” Luna Vanessa spoke up , her voice trembling as her h
