Chapter 338: Politics and rivals II

Ramsey

"I'll try to keep Circe away from the pack house," Lenny said as we walked through the corridor. "That should prevent any issues between her, Lyla, and you." He gave me a meaningful look.

I scoffed, irritated by what he meant. "I'm over that now. I truly love Lyla."

"As if," Lenny replied with a knowing smirk. "I remember how you used to sneak Circe out to the forest daily to do naughty things with her. You were a whore, Ramsey. Surprisingly, you want one woman."

"That was a long time ago, Lenny and all the girls wanted me. I was young, had fewer worries, plus my grandfather never had any problem with it as long as I didn't get them pregnant."

"Well, you two always had chemistry. If not for your grandfather's interference, you would have married her," Lenny said.

His words stirred memories I'd rather forget—stolen moments in the forest, promises made in the heat of passion, and the painful separation that followed.

"I know," I chuckled. "We were so perfect together."

"She still loves you, Ramsey. She's been devoted to you the same way Cassidy has been. I don't know what you do to these women. I think Lyla is the only one you don't have such a hold on."

"You can say that again," I winced, hiding the pain I felt in my heart. "Lyla is not like them. She's so self-absorbed in herself that even if anything happens today and we have to break up, she wouldn't feel much pain."

"Don't be so sure," Lenny murmured. "She loves you, I promise. She may not show it, but she loves you."

"Is she married?" I asked, trying to sound casual as I changed the topic. "Circe, I mean."

"No," Lenny shook his head. "I think it's a curse in my family. She has multiple lovers, just like me."

"You certainly inherited your mother's charm," I remarked dryly.

"And her inability to settle down," Lenny admitted. "Though Circe is worse. At least I don't break hearts—my partners know exactly what they're getting."

"And what does Circe do?"

"Makes promises she has no intention of keeping," Lenny sighed. "She's left a trail of devoted admirers across the sea, each believing they're the only one, and she hasn't had a baby with anyone yet. So, in a way, we're different."

"That sounds exhausting."
