Chapter 183

183 New beginnings … Lyla Ill miss you , I murmured to Nanny who had a quiet smile on her face as she patted my back comfortingly .

I must have hugged her a thousand times already .

We were leaving White Moon Pack back to Blue Ridge today and I was feeling nostalgic .

For one , Nanny was not coming with me since she was going back with the priestesses to the Moon Temple Colden Gates pack .

Mother Liora was still sick and seemed to prefer Nanny to any of the other priestesses .

Though she had promised that as soon as Mother Liora recovered , shed join me at Blue Ridge .

I knew that was next to impossible .

After all , she didnt come to visit all the while I was there .

To think its been three months already since I arrived but it already felt like a decade .

After we said our goodbyes , we started moving .

Now , as the car sped toward Blue Ridge Pack , the silence between me and Nathan felt heavy .

Nathan has been unusually quiet since the incident three days ago .

Although he had managed to maintain normal conversation with me , I still couldnt help but worry that the incident three days ago , had changed things in ways I couldnt see .

My thoughts drifted to Cassidy .

The events of that night still lingered in my mind , a puzzle with too many missing pieces .

I had gone to Ramsey to ask if Cassidy had said anything about what happened , though Id avoided mentioning my wolf was the two tailed wolf that the warriors of White Moon Pack were still hunting or that Xander had shown up there suddenly .

That had been a surprise to me though .

Not just that , I couldnt help but wonder what connection Cassidy had with Xander .

How did they meet ? Why was he even there that night ? I knew Xander hadnt come because Cassidy had merely requested , he should kill me .

There should be more .

Like what agreement had both of them entered for him to have followed her to the pack house ? No matter how I thought of it , there seemed to be more .

Although I was relieved that Cassidy had survived , Xanders blow , I couldnt help wondering if she would ever come clean about what truly happened .

Would she confess , or would she weave another story , one that would paint me in a negative light ? As my mind wandered about it , I dozed off .

A few hours later , I awoke to the sensation of being carried .

Blinking my eyes open , I saw Nathans face above mine .

His expression was tender but tired .

He was carrying me in his arms .

Gently , he laid me on his bed , smoothing my hair .

Youre awake ? he murmured when he saw me .

I nodded , managing a sleepy smile but he didnt say anything after that .

For a moment , the room was silent , except for the faint rustle of trees outside the window .

Before Nathan finally spoke .

Im sorry about the other night , he said softly , I wasnt thinking strange .
