My chest tightened. "You can see the future?"

To me, Nanny has always been, Nanny – the woman who spoiled me silly and loves me more than my mother. I've never associated her with anything so spiritual as this. Even having this conversation with her right now, felt strange to me.

She reached out and touched my hand, stopping me. "I can't…" she murmured.

"What do you mean? You just said…"

"You're blocked off of everyone, Lyla. I can't bond with you to that level to be able to have visions about you. The only time I can see what goes on with you is through some sort of ritual that saps energy and is very tedious, other than that, I can't," she shrugged.

I nodded. She was talking about Xander.

"She already knew of everything that would happen and about the stars on your spine. Still, she couldn't bond herself to you in a way that would help her sense you. But we think the only people who can do that is…" she lowered her voice, sneaking a glance at Beta Jeremy who was swirling his drink in the air with a faraway look in his eyes.

"Nathan and Ramsey."

"Both of them?"

"Yes, but the one you've been most intimate with. The only reason why Mother Liora had allowed Nathan to help you when you you were trapped was because he didn't have deep emotional ties to you as Ramsey…"
