202 A can of worms….

There was silence for a minute before he sighed. “The only reason I had seemed powerless in the past is mainly because of my grandfather and a few elders. The goal is to retire them all, bring in a new set of people…”
 
“That’s suicidal,” I sprang into a sitting position. “Everyone knows that elders are the pillar of every pack
 
He nodded. “I know, but if I want to be with you, I must seize all the power. With most Werewolf Alphas on my side aside from Nathan…” he paused, watching me closely.
 
I didn’t react. Honestly, I had forgotten about Nathan.
 
“What about him?” I asked.
 
“He refused to sign a collation that binds Werewolves and Lycans. It’s nothing serious but something like a union where every pack releases a specific number of warriors responsible for tackling the Dark One and his armies. So, we don’t have to worry about manpower or packs being vulnerable when they send out their entire warriors.”
 
“That’s a good idea!” I nodded with approval.
 
“Yeah, I know but Nathan refused to sign and he didn’t give his reasons. But…” he reached for my hands, pressing warm kisses inside my palm. “Nathan is stubborn, Ly. I don’t know, most times his actions are irrational and he plays the victim.”
 
“He plays the victim?” I turned to him with surprise. “What are you talking about?”
 
“I don’t know if he told you this but, I didn’t throw Ramsey in the dungeon because he refused to say your whereabouts. I did so because he did something else and I don’t know if I’m in the right position to say it.”
 
I stared at him, wondering if I should go with what he was saying or remain neutral. “What are you talking about, Ramsey? I know you’ve never liked Nathan but you don’t have to spin lies just to justify yourself. At the end of the day, I’m on your bed, just like how you’ve always wanted.”
 
“The way you make it sound…” he queried with a frown.
 
“Isn’t this what you wanted? My body…”
 
 anger rising slowly within me. I was so mad. I removed myself from his embrace and pushed to the side of the

“Because you
 
 get married anyways!” he replied, staring at me directly in my eyes. “I knew it, a long time before you returned to Blue Ridge. A Moon Priest told me that I and you were destined for each other and that our joint efforts would bring an end to the Dark One’s reign…” he paused slightly, running a hand through his hair. “But that’s a story for another day.
