123 In the name of love …

The only thing standing between Lax manifesting was

me .

He was snarling with annoyance at our mate’s denial and her claim and it didn’t help that Nathan had a smug look .

I waited until the hall thinned out and it was just three of us left .

Lyla must have sensed that I was coming to her because , in the next instance , she started walking slightly ahead , her strides were quick while Nathan walked beside her calm and composed but his eyes kept darting to me with an amused expression .

“ Lyla , ” I called out .

“ A minute

“ Not now , Ramsey , ” she responded not bothering to slow down .

It’s almost evening and it’s a four – hour ride to Blue Ridge , we want to get home before it’s dusk .

I wanted to approach everything objectively and to sound less intimidating but I couldn’t hold my

frustration any longer .

“ This isn’t happening , ” I said , trying to keep the anger out of my voice .

Lyla stopped in her tracks , turning to face me .

Nathan , too , halted , stepping protectively closer to her .

“ What isn’t happening ? ” Lyla asked arching a brow at

me .

“ You choosing Nathan to train you , ” I spat .

“ They may not know this but all the Moonsingers that ever needed training were trained by Lycans and not an Alpha .

Nathan stepped forward , the amusement in his eyes turning into mockery .

“ And what makes you think you’re more qualified , Alpha Ramsey ? Because you’re a Lycan ? You have no idea what Lyla needs .

I scoffed , my gaze snapping at him .

“ And you do ? You think because you’ve been her childhood friend you’re suddenly an expert on how to train her ? Let me remind you , she’s my mate .

“ She’s NOT your mate ,” Nathan countered , his voice rising slightly .

“ Was your mate .

forgotten how many times you rejected that bond ? You rejected her and she returned the favour .

Whatever bond you had is gone , and you need to accept that .

The words seemed to hit me like physical blows , but I refused to back down .

“ You don’t understand the

complexities of our situation … ”

“ What’s there to understand ? ” Nathan cut me off .

“ You had your chance .

Multiple chances , actually .

You threw them all away because she didn’t have a wolf and was a deviant and now you can’t stand that someone else might succeed where you failed .

My heart pumped faster .

“ Succeed where I failed ? What is that supposed to mean ? Lyla is not a snack to be passed around .
