Lyla
Ramsey's arms tightened around me. The tension in the room ratcheted up several notches as the implications of Lenny's words sank in.
Nathan wasn't just threatening to break away anymore – he was already acting as an independent Alpha.
"Help Lyla get settled in the observer's gallery," Ramsey ordered, his voice taking on the authoritative tone of the Lycan Leader. "I'll join the council in five minutes."
As Lenny nodded and withdrew, Ramsey fiercely kissed my forehead. "Whatever happens in that meeting, remember this – we're together. Nathan, Xander, none of them can change that."
I clung to him for a moment longer, breathing in his familiar scent. My mind wandered to what Mother Liora had told me regarding Nathan, the first time I was brought before the White Moon Throne Council and introduced as the Moonsinger.
