Chapter 351: When victory becomes defeat

Lyla

When we arrived outside the gates that led to the White Mountain Region, the Ferals were already waiting for us.

They were scattered everywhere like sand, but our forces matched theirs this time.

Ramsey came to stand next to me, reaching for my hand.

"Everything will go well today, my love. Try not to overexert yourself, no matter what. I’ll be with you every step."

I nodded. "I heard what you did," I said quietly, then turned to look at him. "Thank you for always thinking of me, Ramsey."

"If I don’t, who will?" he asked. "You’re worth more than anything, to me, Lyla. Even though you hesitate a thousand times, love me less or hurt me every single time, I love you more than I did a second ago."

"Seriously?" Lenny appeared behind Ramsey with a scowl on his face. "Do you guys want a room? You’re standing before your enemies literally, which you’d be fighting in the next few minutes, and you still know what it means to love? And that’s why you still love him, Lyla? Because of those cheesy lines?"

I laughed, agreeing with him. "The cheesy lines are the reason I fell head over heels. You know how Ramsey is."

Lenny smirked and then exhaled deeply. "This is going to be hard for me. This is the first time I won’t be fighting by your side, and I’m anxious. Can I trust you to take care of yourself, Ramsey? Maybe I should join your group?" he asked, staring at me.

"It’ll be too distracting for everyone. Our main goal is to protect Lyla. With you in the group, you might keep forgetting and look out for me only."

"Because that’s my job," Lenny sighed. Then clasped, Ramsey’s shoulders. "If we come out of this alive..."

"When we come out alive, Lenny," Ramsey insisted. "We’re going to win. I’m sure of that."

"Great!" Lenny nodded. "I’m going to name my new baby after you, Ramsey, and maybe it’s time for both of you to tie the knot finally."

"Yeah, whatever," Ramsey shrugged and patted Lenny’s back. "Meet you at rendezvous."

Lenny nodded before he moved away. I was half expecting Ramsey to bring up the topic of us getting married like Lenny suggested, but he didn’t say a word. Instead, he turned to my elite group and the former Ferals to address them.

Wasn’t that strange?
