The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

123 In the nof love ...

Ramsey The only thing standing between Lax manifesting was me.

He was snarling with annoyance at our mate's denial and her claim and it didn't help that Nathan had a smug look.

I waited until the hall thinned out and it was just three of us left.

Lyla must have sensed that I was coming to her because, in the next instance, she started walking slightly ahead, her strides were quick while Nathan walked beside her calm and composed but his eyes kept darting towith an amused expression.

"Lyla," I called out.

"A minute "Not now, Ramsey," she responded not bothering to slow down.

It's almost evening and it's a four-hour ride to Blue Ridge, we want to get hbefore it's dusk.

"1 I wanted to approach everything objectively and to sound less intimidating but I couldn't hold my тя 123 in the nof love.

frustration any longer.

"This isn't happening," I said, trying to keep the anger out of my voice.

Lyla stopped in her tracks, turning to face me.

Nathan, too, halted, stepping protectively closer to her.

"What isn't happening?" Lyla asked arching a brow at me.

"You choosing Nathan to train you," I spat.

"They may not know this but all the Moonsingers that ever needed training were trained by Lycans and not an Alpha.

What does he know about handling a Moonsinger's powers? You're putting yourself at risk.

" Nathan stepped forward, the amusement in his eyes turning into mockery.

"And what makes you think you're more qualified, Alpha Ramsey? Because you're a Lycan? You have no idea what Lyla needs.

" I scoffed, my gaze snapping at him.

"And you do? You think because you've been her childhood friend you're suddenly an expert on how to train her ? Letremind you, she's my mate.

"1 "She's NOT your mate," Nathan countered, his voice rising slightly.

"Was your mate.

Ramsey.

Or have you 20 123 in the nof love...

forgotten how many times you rejected that bond? You rejected her and she returned the favour.

Whatever bond you had is gone, and you need to accept that.

" The words seemed to hitlike physical blows, but I refused to back down.

"You don't understand the complexities of our situation ... " "What's there to understand?" Nathan cutoff.

"You had your chance.

Multiple chances, actually.

You threw them all away because she didn't have a wolf and was a deviant and now you can't stand that someone else might succeed where you failed.

" My heart pumped faster.

"Succeed where I failed? What is that supposed to mean? Lyla is not a snack to be passed around.

She has always belonged toandalone besides this isn't just about a bond.

It's about her safety.

You're too blind to see that you're not qualified to protect her from what's coming and the power she carries .

" Nathan laughed.

"And you think barging in and throwing your weight around is going to help? Lyla has made her choice, respect it.

" 123 In the nof love ...

Respect it?" I echoed his laughter, shaking my head.

"How can I respect a decision that puts her in danger ? " "Stop! " Lyla's voice cut through our argument.

Both of us turned to look at her, surprised by the authority in her tone.

" Just stop, Ramsey.

She cforward, moving to stand beside Nathan rather than behind me.

Read the latest and free at "I don't need you two fighting overlike I'm skind of prize," she sighed.

"This isn't about you.

It's about me.

My choice, my training and my life.

I don't even know if I'm ready to beca Moonsinger yet.

@ Nathan placed a hand on her shoulder, touching her gently, I had to hold myself from grabbing that hand and cutting it off.

The nerves of him to touch her in my presence.

"You don't have to explain yourself to him, dear," he murmured.

She gave him a quiet smile and turned toagain.

"You don't get to play that card anymore, Ramsey.

You don't get to suddenly decide you want to protectafter pushingaway so many times.

" I gritted my teeth, I didn't want to start mentioning 40 123 in the nof love ...

why I did everything I did back then.

"I've told you several times, Lyla ... I did what I did to protect you.

"Protect me? Funny how your protection always seemed to involve hurting me.

I didn't say anything in response.

"Nathan will train me," she continued "I trust him.

He's never givena reason not to .

I clenched my jaw.

"He doesn't understand what's at stake.

You're putting yourself at risk by letting him ... ” "No, Ramsey," she interrupted me.

"Nathan is the one who's been there forthrough everything.

He's the perfect mate that I didn't have.

You, on the other hand, seem to think you can waltz in and out of my life just because there's selectricity between us.

"For fuck's sake... " I muttered, "That's not what it looks like.

" "That's what it does look like.

" she retorted.

"And I'm tired of it.

I chose Nathan to trainbecause he listens toand respects me.

" "Stop repeating that," I growled with annoyance.

"When did I ever not respect you, Lyla ? The only thing 519 123 in the nof love....

I did was reject you because I didn't want you to be punished.

To stop you from going under the radar.

I was fucking 23 back then.

I just becthe Lycan Leader and I was trying to be careful.

You can't just stand there and judgebecause my first instinct was not to cosy up to you? You think I loved any of it?" "Don't raise your voice at her, Ramsey ! " Nathan yelled.

"Stop hiding behind your title... if you truly want someone ...

" "I WANT HER ! " I growled louder this time, though it was all Lax.

"I wanted her every single, waiting, moment but I was trying to protect her from the likes of Cassidy, and my grandfather.

You think anyone would go easy with you when you directly disobeyed an order never to flaunt your pheromones in public ...

" "Oh!" Nathan laughed dryly.

"You really are shallow, Ramsey.

She wouldn't get punished for that.

" My body was shaking with angry tremors as I paced .

...

"That's not what I mean... I swear to the Moon, Lyla Cassidy had the videos - one with both of us having sex and threatenedwith it.

If my grandfather had known there was more to us, he would try to make you and your family leave.

It has happened before to 17:55 123 In the nof love ...

an innocent Omega and her family ...

I trailed off.

"I suppressed my feelings, I suppressed my growing need, my ache for you and you wouldn't even understand me? Fine, I agree I was overwhelmed by the mate bond thing in the beginning but I fell in love with you.

I still do, Lyla ... I wish I could make decisions without stopping to think but ... " I broke off, pushing back the tears that suddenly filled my eyes.

"I just want you to stop for a minute and wonder why I chased after you for four years.

Why I had him locked up? I knew you were a Moonsinger ...

"You don't have to lie, Ramsey," she said finally.

"I am not lying!" I gritted my teeth.

"I was going to marry Cassidy a few weeks after you left but a Moon Priest ctoand toldthat I these had the smell of a Moonsinger onand that he's allowingto delay my wedding until I'm mated to you properly.

He told Cassidy there was a rift in our world, we could have married out... that was just an excuse. She was staring at me, wide - eved as though she didn't 17:55 123 in the nof love.

believe me.

"I will take you to him if you want.

"You might have paid him in advance to tellwhat I want to hear," she countered.

"He lied before.

"He didn't lie ! " I hissed.

He used the rift caused by the Dark One showing up in Pin our world as an excuse to put off my marriage. I do not have a second chance mate, Lyla.

You're the only one meant for me.

I may not have believed in the mate bond thing before I met you but, I do now.

You and I... we're meant to ...

"" "That's enough ! " she raised her hand stopping me.

"I don't want to hear anymore! "You're making a mistake, Lyla," I said quietly.

"This isn't ssimple training regime.

This is about ancient powers that I have access to as a Lycan.

Your aura, your scent still protectsto date from attacks.

"Yet you were attacked at my father's funeral.

"She smirked.

" I cannot explain that but I was there when those Ferals attacked your dad.

When I ran back to help, I fought them off, and they didn't try to attack.

It was in between waiting for the ambulance that I had a 408 123 In the nof love ....

conversation with your dad and he tolda few things.

" "You want to drag my dead father into this,” a tear rolled down her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Ramsey but I'm too superficial to care.

I want to be shown I am loved through action and not through countless rejections.

My brain cannot tell when someone is maltreatingin the nof love and that the person loves me.

I cannot let go of what you did to me.
