158 She has a wolf .

High Priestess Liora Heavy silence pressed in on me after Alpha Ramsey and Lyla left .

I settled into my chair with a sigh , my gaze drifting to the small hearth as the flames flickered and danced .

My time was near , and I knew that much , but the world I would leave behind was so messy .

And all of it was my fault .

Maybe if I had been thorough and tough with Miriam , if I had put my feet down and not allowed myself to be blinded by my love for her , Lyla wouldnt have happened if I had guided her right .

Was I grateful to the Moon Goddess for giving us a Moonsinger ? Yes ! But who knew that Miriams mistake would have this repercussion ? I knew there would be a repercussion of some sort … she was , after all , supposed to be High Priestess after me and had the silver mark , but nothing had prepared me for this .

If Lyla had an ordinary wolf , it would have been different I wouldnt have worried , but the two tailed wolf … I felt the hairs at the back of my neck rise in fear , and immediately , I muttered a prayer to calm my weak heart .

Lyla that girl there was so much more happening now than I could comprehend , and the visions were becoming frequent these days .

The soft creak of the door startled me when Miriam entered , holding a tray of food .

I studied her for a moment .

Her movements were mechanical , almost robotic , as she set the tray down on the table in my room .

Something was wrong with her .

Ah , Miriam , just in time , I chirped , trying to dispel the sad aura around her .

Could set it down here , I pointed to the small stool near my bed .

you She complied without saying a word as she placed the tray on the small table beside my bed .

Then , she poured me a cup of tea , opened the plates for me , and set out the cutlery .

Though she was moving with deliberate care , I didnt miss how her hands trembled .

She did not even attempt to chat with me like before .

When she finished setting my table , she returned to the window and stared absently .

Miriam I called out to her costle Te comething wrong ? She didnt answer .

Her shoulders were hunched slightly in defiance , and her fingers were curled into the fabric of her skirts she used to do that a lot as a child .

Whenever she was sad and wanted to cry so badly , she would try to hold back .
