Chapter 332: Secrets and Lies

Lyla

I stood before Ramsey in the empty war room, finally ready to confess my secret. My hand rested protectively over my stomach as I took a deep breath.

"Ramsey, I need to tell you something important."

He turned to me fully, with a serious expression. He hasn't been coming to our bedroom for a few days now since Nathan's death, and I didn't know if he was protecting his peace, giving me space, or just trying to avoid any drama with me. Knowing who he is, I know it was neither.

Ramsey was worried about something, and I knew I didn't want him to learn about the babies from someone other than me.

"What is it?"

"Well, this might come as a little surprise, but…" I had barely completed the sentence when the door to the war room opened and Lenny burst in with an exasperated look on his face.

"Ramsey, you need to come see this," he announced without preamble, barely glancing at me.

"See what?" Ramsey asked, frowning. "What happened again?"

"Can't it wait?" I interjected, feeling frustrated. For weeks, I'd been burdened with keeping my pregnancy from Ramsey. Nymeris had appeared twice in my dreams, warning me about the consequences of dishonesty between mates. I was finally ready to come clean, and now this interruption.

"It can't wait, Luna Lyla," Lenny shook his head firmly. "You need to come now," he said urgently to Ramsey.

"What happened? What is it?"

Lenny's gaze shifted to where I was indicating; he didn't want to say it with me in the room. Ramsey nodded and turned to me, squeezing my shoulders gently.

"I'll find you as soon as I can, alright?"

I wanted to blurt out what was on my mind, but Lenny stood there, giving him a pointed look. So instead, I nodded, watching him follow Lenny out of the room. My hand automatically moved to my baby bump, which was small but noticeable now if anyone was paying attention.
