116 Fated together …
Ramsey
The confession hung in the air as she stared at me .
I felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted off my shoulders .
Almost when I thought she wasn’t going to respond , she scoffed .
“ Love ? You ? The same man who rejected me countless times .
The same Ramsey who pushed me away , who made me feel like I was nothing ? Do you even know what you’re talking about ? ”
My face tightened .
“ You don’t understand , ” I began but she cut me off .
“ I have all the time , please enlighten me , ” she demanded .
“ What exactly do I not understand ? How you’ve treated me ? How you’ve made me feel ? ”
My hands clenched and unclenched at my sides as I tried to stifle my emotions .
“ Everything I did back then was to protect you ”
Sheughed , “ Protect me ? From what ? From myself ? From your own feelings ? From our mate
bond ? ”
“ From me .
” I said softly .
“ I was scared to love my mate .
I mean , I was going to settle with at woman but I never had ns to do that with my mate .
I’ve seen first – hand what happens if someone loses their mate .
My grandfather … he … ” Itrailed off taking a deep breath .
“ When my grandmother died , he tried to kill himself severally and my parents had just died a few months ago .
I spent my years as a preteen looking after him , always being on the edge that one day I’ll walk in and see him lying lifeless … dead … ” I swiped at the tears that gathered at the corner of my eyes .

“ I thought if I pretended that the mate bond didn’t exist , that I would forget about you .
”
“ You think pushing me away protects me ? ” she asked .
“ You think breaking my heart was some
noble act or as a result of some childhood trauma ? ”
I stepped closer .
“ Every time I got close to you , every moment I allowed myself to feel , I was reminded of how cruel living as a Lycan was .
I’didn’t want you to suffer .
If they knew about us , they would use you against me .
Being a Lycan leader is a precarious situation .
”
“ So , you decided to hurt me first ? ” her voice cracked .
“ You decided that your public image in this perfect world of the Lycans was more important than my feelings ? ”
The tension heightened in the room .
I reached out , almost involuntarily , my fingers nearly touching her face before I pulled back .
“ I thought I was saying you ,” I whispered .
“ I thought the distance was the only way to keep you from their bacsh .
Her eyes glistened with unshed tears .
“ And now ? ” she asked .
“ Now that you’ve decided to love me and tell me you love me ? Because you’re still a Lycan Leader , perfection is still important in this world … What changed ? ”
“ Everything changed .
You’re the Moonsinger , L … no one would object to us being mates , if
1/3
anything they’ll wee it .
We can finally be together
She stared at me for a few seconds and thenughed with tears rolling down her eyes .
Tama fool ” she murmured stillughing .
“ I forgot how good you were at hurting me .
How every time we meet you always look for a new way to hurt me , to give me reasons why we should never be
together .

“ Cimon Lyta we can be together .
If you ept this gift you’llplete me and I you and the power of the White Moon Throne will be unlocked ”
She shook her head .
So , you love me because I mean something now right ? Because although have other identities like deviant and wolfless but being a Moonsinger outweighs them right ?
“ The way you make it sound that’s not what I mean
“ That’s exactly what you mean Ramsey she stiffed .
“ The day I stop being the Moontinger you’d discard me again , right ? So , let’s do what we’re best at doing rejecting each other ?
“ Tata you don’t understand .
That’s not what I mean I rushed on .
I mean , to one would ‘
L Woond reject you Alpha Ramsey as my mate and ept your rejection
I felt so helpless seeing her standing there crying I didn’t know what to do because yet again ste misunderstood .
What I meant was , that no one would see reasons to hurt her .
That being a Mocesinger would mean no one would whisper behind her back that she can finally walk with her bead held high
“I hope we don’t make this a habit , Ramsey because I’m going to keep rejecting you .
Excuse me
She turned to leave and something inside me scappe
I reached out for her and grabbed her , wrapping my hands around her form .
T , please … ” I begged .
“ You know damn well what I mean and I’m sorry if you think I only want you now because you’re a Moonsinger .
I’ve always wanted you gods I’ve wanted you every day for the past four years .
I’ve wanted you since you came back … Ile in my bed every night , dreaming of this moment , of having you in my arms and sharing my sunrise and sunset with you .
Please … ”
“ Let me go .
Ramsey she said coldly .
“You’re not doing me a favour and if you cannot love and ept for who I am first .
Il constantly be forced to keep up your expectations so you don’t wake up one morning and regret meeting me .
So.
Nah .
In good ”
Tata I pulled away from her , making her face me is this about Nathan ? I apologoed .
I said I
was sorry but I was frantic I needed you .
”
For your gratification for your Wolf ” she yelled .
“ Anything to make you feel better to take care of that itch in your pants .
You didn’t look for me because you cared so much about me .
Ramsey You didn’t do it because you couldn’t stand being away from me you did it for yourself .
.
to soothe your heart … my constant presence calms your woll , keeps you grounded and maybe once in a while sex .
What about me ? Have you stopped to think about what I want ? What willl I stand to gain if agree and be with you ? ”
I ran my hands through my hair “ L baby that’s not true … ”
116 Fated together …
constantpetition withws and traditions made by dead people ? When will because it’s me and it’ll make me happy ? When will I matter ? ”
you do it
Her chest was heaving now , and tears were rolling down her eyes uncontrobly .
“ Fine , ” she threw her hand up in the air “ I get it … I have no wolf , I lost my powers because I was careless and maybe I will settle for anyone who shows me , the slightest attention … I want to be happy .
I want to know that someone loves me for me and not because I can sing and spew silver lights from my fingertips .
I want to know that someone loves me because I cannot give anything but myself … I deserve to be happy … ”
She swiped at her face angrily , closed her eyes and took a deep breath .
When she opened them , she met my gaze .
“ Fine … I cannot deny that there’s still something between us but I need you to break off your engagement with Cassidy , tell everyone that we’re fated together and I’ll be with you .
