“What?” my eyes widened with surprise. “Really? How? I mean, why? Beta Jeremy doesn’t look like someone who would harbour resentment against anyone. The man only smiles when he sees his son. He reminds me of a bear

“You know nothing about Betas, Nanny laughed. “They hold and bear grudges, like old women, but it’s a long story and nothing inconsequential. Don’t worry, I’ll just stay in my former room at the maids‘ quarters and avoid your mother.”

My mind flitted to what Nathan had told me earlier about him listening to conversations about my dad and his dad arguing about Nanny. Was there a reason behind it? Plus, when I had first arrived at Blue Ridge, Beta Jeremy kept asking me if Nanny would show up.

What was really going on with them?

I nodded. I was dying to ask her a lot of questions, but knowing who Nanny was, she wouldn’t say a word. She laid down beside me on the bed and I went to her, placing my head on her shoulders, and wrapping her in a hug.

She held me too, and we stayed like that for a few minutes before I broke the silence again.

“Nan!”

She grunted.

*Is it possible for a Moonsinger to have a wolf?”

She shot out of my hands and turned to me, her eyes wide with fright. “Do you have one?”

“No!” I huffed. “I’m just asking” I lied. “Curiosity and all…”
