“I am not lying, your majesty,” he said with sincerity in his eyes.
“Lori schooled in Cains most of her life, where she met the King. He did not live there, but he visited there often, and they shared the dream of ruling together,” he said and sighed.
“She met Casey a day after she arrived in the east. She came there with the sole purpose of recruiting me.
I would have declined if I knew she was setting me up as the fall guy. But what they offered was too good to refuse.
I had been disgraced in the east; it would have been nice to become a nobleman, more important than the man that took my position.
They did not have an army, so they needed to cause war. She sweet–talked me into it. Something about restoring our family’s glory and giving me a seat on the council.
She said her mate was a Hand and that they loved each other so much. He did not claim her, of course. Their wedding was to occur after they succeeded at creating the war.
Getting with Casey wasn’t part of the plan, but she went to Dustin’s party, and they were fated. It was a massive setback because she was torn between her wolf and her desires,” he said, and I called Brian Wilson on the phone to check on Annika in her cell. There was no way Ramsey was lying. I could see the resignation in his eyes.
The call did not take long. I instructed Wilson to hurry up and get back to
- me.

After the call, Ramsey continued to speak.

Lori informed the King of the development with Casey the night she eturned from the party. She feared he would dump her, but the guy had a >right idea of using the mate bond for themselves and their cause.
Unfortunately, Casey wasn’t as stupid as they hoped he would be. She never won his heart, so she never got to control him, but she helped her boyfriend cause damage,” Ramsey said, and I felt foolish.
‘Why will she set you up, and why did Annika not know she was the nastermind? Your niece named you,” I said, and he laughed.
‘Lori never forgave me for what happened to her mother. But I had to kill that bitch because she was the one that got me in trouble with Collier Hand, both her and Annika’s mother. I guess the two decided to get revenge for their mothers.
Annika is a fool for Lori and would do anything her cousin says. To her. everything Lori does is for the greater good. I allowed it simply because it was beneficial to me. By now, you must have established my character. There is nothing to hide,” He said, and I was speechless.
I was also worried that Ramsey was right about Lori cleaning her mess where Annika was concerned.
“What about the threats and the targets? The gun assassination?” Casey asked, sounding confused, and the man began to laugh.
“None of you would be alive if we could do all that. Lori controlled the information that would be in circulation. She was smart like that. Once you hear the same thing from two to three people, then it is true. I can never put a target on my daughter’s back. During the game, I sat in your booth with you. Did I behave in any suspicious way?
She told you what she wanted you to believe, and she pretended all through. I won’t blame any of you. Lori is smooth like that,” he said, and I

vas stunned.
What about her visits to your house?” Casey asked, and he sighed.
She did not visit me; she was visiting him. That pregnancy isn’t yours, Casey. They claimed each other, so you won’t feel it. Think of it this way. f Lori had her way, both you and Zora would have died the day the north attacked, and who do you think would have control of the cast if that happened?” He asked, and I knew the answer before Casey even said it.
‘Lori,” He said, and I became impatient.
I did not want to even listen to the rest of it.
We had an Ace and let her go out of pity and sentiments. Because of the stupid council laws. I wanted to punch Ramsey.
If only he had spoken up, I would have held her by all means. We had nothing on her, and so we had to let her go. I was glad Zora put someone on her. I kept that part to myself.
“Everyone knew no one stood a chance against the northern Army. Being fighters, Casey and Zora should have fought to their last breath, what Lori did not expect was that Zora would refuse to fight and give herself up. That spoiled many things because Casey remained alive.
Now that Zora was in the north, there were limits to how we could complicate issues between the east and the north,” he said, and I began to laugh from frustration. Casey was growling. His bitch had outsmarted
everyone.
“I am just a pawn in this thing. One thing I know is that the guy is a Hand. She told me that much, but I did not know which one. Some council members are in league with him because he promised to make them lords when he becomes King. A position their family can never attain, and it seemed plausible.

Honestly, I thought about who this guy must be. I thought it was David at first, but then I found out he was married with children, and I doubt it is your brother, so this guy might be lying or delusional. I do not know, but he is resourceful and has a very powerful person behind him. That is all I know,” he said, resigning himself.
My phone rang, and it was Wilson. I was afraid of answering, but I did.
