So, we don’t have to worry about manpower or packs being vulnerable when they send out their entire warriors.”

“That’s a good idea!” I nodded with approval.

“Yeah, I know but Nathan refused to sign and he didn’t give his reasons. But…” he reached for my hands, pressing warm kisses inside my palm. “Nathan is stubborn, Ly. I don’t know, most times his actions are irrational and he plays the victim.”

“He plays the victim?” I turned to him with surprise. “What are you talking about?”

“I don’t know if he told you this but, I didn’t throw Ramsey in the dungeon because he refused to say your whereabouts. I did so because he did something else and I don’t know if I’m in the right position to say it.”

I stared at him, wondering if I should go with what he was saying or remain neutral. “What are you talking about, Ramsey? I know you’ve never liked Nathan but you don’t have to spin lies just to justify yourself. At the end of the day, I’m on your bed, just like how you’ve always wanted.”

“The way you make it sound…” he queried with a frown.
