Chapter 169

169 The Trance I Miriam ( 07 I would not let Jeremys bitterness and hatred tear me apart .

I have spent too long living with regret , but Lylas future was still unwritten .

I would fight for my daughters happiness no matter what it took .

It was already evening , and I headed towards the bonfire area , where many young people were gathered .

When I reached there , I spotted Lyla and Nathan laughing together near the flames .

Lylas face lit up with joy as she spoke , her hands gesturing animatedly Clarissa was there too and Nathan watched her with a soft smile , his eyes filled with adoration .

For a moment , my heart swelled with pride and hope .

Maybe Jeremy was wrong .

Maybe Lyla and Nathan could find happiness together despite everything .

But then , out of the corner of my eye , I saw a figure standing in the shadows , watching two of them .

It was Ramsey .

My heart sank as I watched the way his eyes followed Lyla , filled with a mixture of longing and SOTTOW .

I knew then that Jeremys fears werent entirely unfounded .

Secrets and old wounds had a way of resurfacing , and the past was never truly buried .

As I watched , the young people talking around the fire , Terras words and Jeremys words took turns flitting into my mind .

While Terras words filled me with guilt and defiance , Jeremys words .

scared the shit out of me .

I couldnt imagine , Lyla going through another phase of heartbreak .

The mere thought of it breaks my heart .

I just lingered at the edge of the clearing where the bonfire was watching them since I didnt know what to do .

From the corner of my eyes , I caught sight of a Blue Ridge delegation .

I know because he was wearing the packs plaid .

But something was different .

This time , a chill ran down my spine as I watched the figure moving towards Lyla and Nathan- someone I hadnt seen before .

The mans presence was subtle , almost too subtle , but my instincts screamed at me to pay attention .

I couldnt place him , but something about him felt … wrong .

Before I could dwell on it further , a soft voice broke through my thoughts ..
