Chapter 197
RAMON’S POV
I sat by the river bank, and stared into space as my mind wandered about
Coming to the river had become a routine of mine.
The waves just had a way of calming me, like nothing could.
I appreciated the serenity, because it was the polar opposite of the direction my life had taken.
Many years back. I thought that by this point, I would have achieved every goal I set out to achieve.
So many years had passed, and I still felt stuck.
“Your presence is needed.” I suddenly heard, and my peace was disrupted.
“By who?”
“Me,” Blane replied, and sat beside me, despite not asking him to do that.
“What are you doing?” I asked, shocked by his boldness
“I think it’s time we need to talk,” he said.
“Talk about what? And how many times have I said I don’t want to be disturbed why Em by the river!” I asked in a chiding tone.
He sighed, and pushed his hand into a bag I had only just noticed its presence.
Pulling something out, my curiosity was satisfied when he brought it to my face.
-Why are you pointing a mirror at me?” I asked, quickly tossing my face to the side.
“Exactly that You’re always by the water, but ensure you never look at your reflection. I want you to take a hard look, and stop,” he said in a strong
voice.
With every word that came out of his lips, I was continuously astounded by his gall.
“I don’t want to look at myself, Blane. I’ll also really need you to leave, before you get more annoying.”
“Good, we’re getting somewhere. Previously, you’d just mutter a few words and call it a day. At least you’re actually speaking to me,” he said.
“Blane, what do you want?” I asked, running out of patience.
I wanted to be alone. What part of that was too hard for anyone to understand?
“I want you to look at yourself, and remember who you are. You’ve gone silent. No one has heard from the alpha of bloodmoon. They all think you’re plotting, hence them ploiting too. But you’re doing nothing. Absolutely nothing!”
“And so what?!” 1 growled in annoyance.
He had the good sense to move back, taking precaution.
He had gotten me heated over the fact he wanted me to look at a stupid mirror?
To what end? What would I see that I haven’t seen before?
“Because the silence is going to become too loud soon, and questions will begin to be asked. I don’t want a situation where we’re unprepared when the questions are asked. Daniel and I have done our best to keep everything intact due to your disinterest. But you’re alpha, and there’s only so much we can do,” he said and sighed.
I could tell he was tired. It wasn’t easy to run a pack after all
Everyone saw the honor and glory bestowed on alpha’s. No one e
one ever noticed the sacrifice, and hard work that went into keeping a pack safe.

They stepped in my shoes, and realized it wasn’t made of soft leather, but of alabaster.
“You two seem to be doing a fine job in keeping the pack running. 1 appreciate your efforts. Can I return to meditating now!” I asked.
“Not until you look in the mirror. I just want you to see your reflection. Just one time,” he begged.
“Let him be. He won’t do it. There’s no point forcing him to do what he doesn’t want to do. Besides, I think we have other things to worry about,” I heard Ivy’s voice, and sighed
I should have known where there was one, there were the others.
This had been their routine. Tag teaming me every chance they got.
Perhaps they thought if they played the emotional blackmail strings, it would compel me to give them a listening ear.
I didn’t give a damn. The pack was peaceful. I was peaceful. That was all that mattered to me.
still in there,” Blane said
“Don’t say that. The alpha Ramon 1 used to know is still in there somewhere. I don’t care what anyone says. He’s st confidently.
“When is he going to return then? He can’t even look at his own reflection. 1 heard Ferins is gathering an army to attack. He already has such a huge army to start with, but he’s gathering more. How do we counter that when the inevitable occurs!”
“The alpha is going to return to his senses before anything like that happens. Besides, Ferins has his daughter back. Why would he want to attack
us?
Since my peace had been disturbed. I decided to listen to the two argue, without adding a cent to the discussion.
“Because Alpha’s life Ferins have pride that swallows all other things. He already wants to prove a point that he can defeat both father and son Couple with the fact our alpha was bold enough to go into his pack, and take Sonia. I don’t think he’s going to forgive or forget that,” Blane replied, but I was stuck on the name he called.
I knew he had done it on purpose, especially after I warned that I never wanted to hear that n
However, as soon as the name was mentioned, she was all I could think about.
name mentioned around me…
And everytime I thought about her, raw pain from my depths, pain I could never describe, filled my lungs, making it hard for me to breathe.
“I don’t think Sonia would allow that to happen. She might not be with us anymore, but I think she has the thought of us in her heart. I wonder how she’s fairing. If she’s eating well. I mean she must be, right? She’s a princess,” Ivy said, and I could just hear the smile on her face
I hissed loudly, as I slowly rose to my feet. Enough had been said, and my ears had heard enough.
“She said she didn’t care when I asked if she was okay with never hearing from you again. Get out of your fantasyland, and face reality”
I walked past her, ignoring her angry growl. Because whilst they lived in delusion, I knew the truth. And that truth had set me free.
