131 Day of cleansing II Lyla I didnt know why I said that but the sudden urge to hurt his fragile ego cout 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 ntrigger 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, makinglaugh.
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 onas if,! was something precious.
I felt my cheeks heating up.
W What? Why are you looking atlike 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtReally? 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 raisedtoo.
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 sweapons, they were very effective.
The mention of Nathans nbrought 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.
III 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 ctoimmediately, smiling atas 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 twhat 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 gavea 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 .
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut 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 cto 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 overand in the next instance, something began to pulldownward 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 in where I and Nanny lived together în the human world before we moved away after the saga with Xander.
Everything looked exactly as I remembered the pale blue walls, my m bed by the windowym 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. WelcLyla he said smoothly.
