Chapter 341: About the baby...

Lyla

"Make your stand clear with Circe," Nanny interrupted, her voice filled with frustration. "Or she will continue to bully Lyla."

We both turned to see Nanny standing at the doorway. I arched my brow at her.

"I thought you were following me behind," she said with a pout, glaring at Ramsey. "You need to rest. Today has been a lot."

"Circe is not like Cassidy, I’m sure there must have been a reason..." Ramsey tried saying

"I’m sick of the games," Nanny said, cutting him short again.

Ramsey scoffed. "What games?"

She jabbed a finger at him. "You either make your stand clear with Circe, or she will keep up her petty childish act like she did at breakfast today. Every day, we wake up to a random woman staking a claim over you. Maybe it’s a good thing you’re not married to Lyla yet. You have too many unresolved relationships. What are you going to do about that?"

"Nanny!" I cried out in shock; she didn’t need to go that far.

Ramsey stared at her for a few seconds before he sighed and looked away. "I do not have any unresolved relationships with anyone. I’m sorry for the way Circe acted, but she’s not like Cassidy, believe me."

"It’s good you’re finally admitting that your mistresses had caused nothing but pain to my child, Lycan Leader." Nanny’s tone was cold. "Get your acts right, I wouldn’t want to kill someone to teach you how to treat your mate better. Tell Circe to stay away from my child."

Ramsey exhaled deeply and nodded. "I will take care of it."

"See that you do," Nanny replied, taking my arm. "Come, Lyla. Let’s get some fresh air."

I allowed her to lead me away, relieved to escape the tension of the dining room. Nanny insisted that walking outside would do me good, so hand in hand we strolled toward the back of the pack house, near the forests where pack members usually went for runs.

We walked in silence for several minutes. I realised with a pang that this was the first time in ages I’d had such quiet time with Nanny—with my mother. So much had happened, so many secrets revealed, yet we’d barely had a chance to talk.

"Do you remember when you taught me to climb trees?" I asked suddenly, pointing to a tall oak we were passing. "You said it would help me learn balance."

Nanny smiled, the lines around her eyes crinkling. "You were fearless. Most children would cry after falling, but you just got right back up and tried again."

"I was stubborn."

"Were?" Nanny arched an eyebrow. "You still are."

I laughed, feeling some of the morning’s tension fade. "When I first found out I was pregnant, I was so sure I didn’t want the babies," I admitted quietly. "I don’t even know when I changed my mind. I can’t remember if it was yesterday or the day before yesterday that I woke up and realised I wanted them."

"That happens," Nanny said gently. "How we feel in the moment of discovery isn’t always how we truly feel."

"How did you feel when you realised you were pregnant with me?"

Nanny laughed. "I freaked out a bit, but the idea of having a baby thrilled me more than it terrified me. I told Mother Liora myself that I was pregnant. I didn’t wait for the women at the temple to find out—they wouldn’t have anyway. None of them know anything. They were too busy seeing visions in soup bowls."

We both laughed at that. Growing up, I’d thought Mother Liora was Nanny’s birth mother. She’d always talked about her with such love and longing in her eyes, and her friend, Terra.

We came across a large boulder and decided to rest, settling on its smooth surface.
