Ramsey
My heart constricted with emotions as I watched Lyla dozing off at the dining table.
Her head was lolling from one side to the other; she looked so exhausted that I wished I had a way to relieve her for a few seconds. My eyes strayed to the stomach, which seemed normal to me, and I was sad that I would not be here to experience the life I had created.
Rising to my feet, I went around the table and slowly lifted her into my arms, careful not to wake her. I crossed towards the bed and lay her gently, watching as one hand instinctively rested over her stomach.
If I had any doubts before, this was what gave me the strength. And no matter what, I felt a sense of fulfilment. I have a wife and two children. What more could I ask for?
I settled the covers over her body, drew the curtains to block out the rays of light, and slipped out of the room. When I came outside the corridor, I saw Lenny waiting for me. He was sitting on his heels, and he had a troubled expression on his face.
As soon as he saw me, he straightened immediately and came to me. "Where are you going to?"
"To meet with Circe," I scoffed, trying to walk past him, but he blocked my path. "She insisted I think about it, and I have. I’m going to give her a response."
"And what will it be?" he asked.
"What else would it be, Lenny? I choose my wife and my kids. I can’t have an entire dynasty being wiped away because..."
"No!" Lenny shook his head. "Please, there’s got to be some way. What about me? What will happen to me when you die? I am supposed to die before you do, and you know that? Our bond states I must protect you with everything. Let me die in your place, because I won’t be able to bear the pain that comes from..."
"Are you indirectly asking to sleep with my wife?"
"What?" his eyes darted with confusion. "Of course not, I’m just saying..."
I laughed, feeling better somehow. "I was just kidding. We should hear what Circe has to say first before we draw conclusions." fr\eewe.bn(o)v\el.c(o)m
I pushed him to the side and continued walking towards the floor where Circe was. I was also meeting with Nanny there.
"You’re late," Circe said, looking up the moment I entered. Miriam and Terra were already seated. They seemed to be in a discussion."
"I had to make sure she sleeps first," I explained. "So, tell me, what needs to be done?"
"Have you made your decision?" Terra asked. It wasn’t a question.
I closed the door behind me and took the empty seat across from her. Lenny stood at the entrance, hovering. I could feel his anxiety and his fear through our bond, but I blocked it out. I didn’t want to get swayed.
"I already made my decision that day. Asking me to think it through again... It’s not necessary."
"I understand your need for chivalry, but giving your life for your mate is serious," Terra said. "It’s a big sacrifice, and there are chances you may never be reincarnated again. Because this would be the final battle."
"You guys," I sighed. "Is it going to be possible or not for me to go in her place? I don’t care about that. I want people to look at Lyla nd my children and say ’that’s the Late Lycan Leader’s son and that’s his wife. I’ll be content."
Circe was studying me; her beautiful eyes were filled with pain. "Are you certain, Ramsey?" she asked eventually. "Once you begin this path, there’s no turning back."
"I’m certain," I nodded. "Lyla cannot die. Our children cannot die. If there’s a way to take her place over and over again, I’ll do it."
The three women exchanged a glance before Miriam nodded. "I was willing to do it, but you’re the only one who can at his point take her place. Your bond had made both of you one."
"Tell me what it will cost," I said quietly. "No riddles, just specifics and enough of this pity talk. It’s irritating me. I am not doing this for our world, honestly... I think they don’t deserve it as much. I am doing it because of the woman I love, and I cannot..." I paused as a sad emotion flickered to the surface.
"I cannot grieve, Lyla. Call me selfish, but her death would be my end. It’s better if I go first, and Lyla will get over me. She doesn’t love me as much, I’m sure of that, and the babies would keep her busy."
Silence reigned in the room, broken by Lenny’s angry tone.
