My heart skipped a beat .

Why was he here ?

I shot to my feet reluctantly , bowing my head in respect that I didn’t feel .

“ Lycan Leader , ” I said feigning surprise .

“ To what do we owe the honour of your visit ? ”

“ Yes ! ” My father came to stand next to me as he addressed Ramsey .

“ Alpha , I what brings you here , to my home ? ”

Ramsey’s cold gaze flickered toward me , then back to my father .

“ Beta Tanner , I need to speak to your son , ” He said in a commanding tone .

“ Alone , if you don’t mind .

My father hesitated , his eyes flickering towards me for a second .

He was clearly taken aback by Ramsey’s sudden appearance and request but also torn between his duty to obey the Lycan Leader and his desire to protect me .

“ Of course , Alpha , ” he said finally .

“ I’ll … I’ll be in the

living room if you need me .

“ Beta ! ” Ramsey faced my father .

“ You don’t understand .

It’s best if you stay outside .

The conversation between me and your son is like a secret and I wouldn’t

appreciate it if someone else heard it too .

That’s why I came in alone and left my Beta and the warriors with me , outside .

My father shot me another worried glance but I nodded to him flashing him a smile .

“ I’ll be fine , Dad .

I’m sure , the Lycan Leader just wants to talk and nothing more .

We’ll be done in no time .

As soon as the door closed and

ere finally alone ,

Ramsey turned to me , the coldness in his eyes was

turning into fury .

“ Where is she ? ‘ he demanded without preamble .

I arched my brow at him .

“ Where is who ? ”

“ Lyla ! ” he replied .

“ I need to know where Lyla is .

I blinked , taken aback by the directness of his question .

I recovered a few seconds later and pointed in the direction of the pack house .

“ Lyla ? She lives next door at the packhouse .

You should be asking her parents .

You could go over there
