134 Its either me or Ramsey … Lyla My heart thudded painfully in my chest as I tried to keep my eyes on him in the dark room .

He sauntered to me and flicked his finger causing light to sprout from the tips , illuminating his face and the room to a little extent .

He looked different much more mature than four years ago .

The boyish features that gave him the vibe of a high school kid that I remembered , were all gone and were now replaced by sharp , chiselled edges that spoke of a man who had embraced his power .

His body had changed too .

He stood before me , bulkier and muscular , he seemed even taller now , towering above me , almost taller than Ramsey by several inches but that wasnt the problem … he was naked .

Not bare skin kind of naked but he had on a pair of jeans that moulded into his skin , accentuating his long , curved legs and his smooth , firm torso and a singlet that clung to his arbs .

My eyes travelled the length of his body , appreciating his manliness when they met with his eyes , there was a cocky grin on his face .

Lyla … my honeybee … we meet again .

Sorry , for the rude welcome .

You were so flustered that I had to put you to sleep immediately but I hope you dont mind ? Seriously ? My lips curled in disdain as I crossed my arms over my chest .

What kind of a Monster parade around naked , flexing like some human gym enthusiast ? I couldnt hide the malice in my voice as I demanded .

And whats with all this muscle gain ? Are you compensating for something ? Youre the Dark One … you should be clad in some traditional , animal skin or something not dressed like a human version of seduction ? Are you implying that you find me seductive ? he arched a brow at me , his eyes twinkling with amusement .

If I find all of this … I swept my hand over his form Seductive , then Ill be spending every with every single human male that has hit on me .

hour He laughed producing a sound that was both charming and unsettling .

Ah , Lyla … always so quick with the comebacks .

Maybe thats one of the reasons I missed having you around .

He spread his arms , doing a little spin to showcase himself .

Do you like what you see , please tell me ? I rolled my eyes .

Ive seen better and stop talking like that … you sound human .

When did you .

stop using honorifics and sounding ancient ? It fits you better .

The female humans I met didnt like it , so I had to brush myself up a little .

Its not easy existing for so long , he sighed .

Anyways , I fell in love with the gym , he continued flexing his biceps exaggeratedly and running his hand over his muscled chest .

This generation of humans is so fascinating and will die for looks .

When I learnt they have these incredible buildings dedicated to changing ones body , I figured I might as well enjoy it to the fullest .

Enjoy it ? I scoffed .

By strutting around like a peacock and skinny jeans is so out of fashion .

Grow up ! 134 its either me of Ramsey … His laughter deepened as he closed the distance between us , his eyes glinting coldly .

If I do any more growing .

Im not sure the world would survive Without warning , he knelt before me , his eyes sweeping over my face .

A strong finger caught my jaw , forcing me to meet his gaze .

His touch was firm but not painful , his thumb brushed against my cheek as he tilted my head towards him .

My breath caught as his eyes bore into mine , searching and calculating .

The room seemed to shrink and the walls pressed in around us .

Youre still as fiery and feisty as ever , he murmured after what felt like an eternity .

He released me abruptly and straightened to his full height .

Your heat will start soon , he said .

matter of factly .

Itll be the perfect time .

I recoiled , glaring up at him .

What nonsense and scheme are you up to this time around ? He didnt answer , instead , he turned and started towards the door .

My head was spinning with a million ideas … this was my chance to liberate myself .

I couldnt let him walk out of this room in this darkness without knowing when hell be back .

* Is this how you want to treat me ? after everything ? I hissed , hoping the tremors in my voice and body would convince him .

He paused , his broad shoulder tensing .

Slowly , he turned back to face me , staring at me now with a quiet intensity that made the air feel heavy .

I continued , faking pain and anger .

You claim to love me , yet you put me in this darkness … this cell .

You leave me chained like Im some animal .

* Coming from you … thats hypocrisy .

I treated you right until you brought your mom and attacked me .

What were you expecting for me to open my arms up to you and … You forced me into it ! I interrupted him .

You were being so weird and strange .

Plus , I didnt want to commit to something like that .

You cant make decisions for yourself and expect me to magically tune into it ? Thats not how it works .

I am capable of making decisions myself too .

He stared at me for a few seconds and shook his head .

The only thing that changed about you after three years … Three years , six months and some three weeks , I blurted .

He huffed .

Is you got prettier and curvier .

Else that , youre still as foolish and selfish as youve always been .

Even I changed , Lyla .

I became more patient , more forgiving … I let you off for three years … but youre still as ignorant as you were .

He sighed .

What a shame ! I am not selfish ! I cried , hating that his words were getting to me And I choose to be ignorant because knowing too much is trouble .

I dont want to .

I want to live a normal life .

How many times did I tell you that you cannot live out your fantasy ? he sighed running a hand through his hair .

You were not born to get married to that Paul in your office and travel around the world ? You were born to fight me … how many times should I emphasise it ? I can see how well the fight is going ? I scoffed , indicating my chains .

Or maybe youre scared that a little girl whos only twenty three will beat you up .

He didnt cau anvthing for a few minutes he list starryl at me and then nodded .

134 Its either me or Ramsey Yes ! his eyes darkened .

Do you said quietly .

This think I enjoy watching you like this .

om is special , both for your protection and mine .

It is made of Umbra bind almost like Selenium the human mineral and its a rare substance that is specifically designed to wenken the powers of any Moonsinger .

My eyes widened .

But Ive lost my powers .

The High Priestess sald so .

He smirked , narrowing his gaze at me .

Did she ? Then explain how youve been weakening Ferals without even trying .

Or how you managed to wound a Trinax Mr Dupree specifically and so severely .

Do you know how sick he was for nearly a month because of the stunt you pulled at the funeral of your father ? Honestly , I dont know how that happened and I wont apologize to Mr Dupree .

He sprang onto me without warning .

What was I supposed to do ? And who knows , it could be instinct ? Instinct ? he let out a low laugh .

Call it whatever you want , but dont lie to yourself .

Youre still powerful , Lyla .

More than you realize .

I pushed myself to my feet and attempted what seemed to me like a seductive pose .

I lifted my chin , running my tongue over my lips .

If Im so powerful , I purred , Then maybe , you should be careful , Xander .

He chuckled crossing the room to stand where I stood Oh , Lyla , he said shaking his head .

Youve never been good at playing the seductress .

My checks flushed with embarrassment but quickly I masked it with anger .

Shut up , I snapp Still chuckling , he moved behind me and with a casual flick of his wrist , he broke the chains on my hands and feet .

Then comes to stand in front of me .

Dont try anything stupid , he warned .

I havent forgotten and forgiven what you needed four years ago .

I narrowed my eyes at him , my heart pounding .

Fine , what do you want from me , Xander ? What is it ? Instead of answering , he pulled me close and leaned in to kiss me .

Dont , I said sharply , turning my face away .

He paused , his lips mere inches from mine .

Why not ? Because I have a boyfriend now , I declared .

He arched an eyebrow , a smirk spreading across his face .

You mean Nathan ? The Alpha that succeeded your father ? he let out a low chuckle .

Dont worry , Lyla .

You wont end with him .

My heart clenched with fear at his words as the High Priestesss warning also flitted into my mind .

Whats that supposed to mean ? Hes just an experience , Xander shrugged .

A stepping stone to heal you a bit.

Its either me or … he paused , the smirk on his lips deepening .
