The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 15

15 Storm breaking … 

Ramsey 

It’s been 6 days – nearly a week since we brought Lyla to the Pack healers at White Moon Mountains .

They were the best healers ever but still ; Lyla hadn’t 

woken up .

Her wounds were too deep and severe and because she had no wolf , she was healing slowly – barely making any progress if you ask me .

She just lay there , unconscious , without moving or anything .

And I hated it .

I have been in a constant state of tension since that day .

Not just that , the entire territory of the White Mountains and the Packs in the territory were on high alert after another Feral attack .

This time , it had happened at the lower borders and they had targeted the soldiers on patrol there .

How they had managed to infiltrate the border remained a mystery to us since there was no breach in our security walls , and neither was anything picked .

Since then , we’ve spotted a few of them roaming outside the 

territory … but not attacking .

Ideally , they weren’t really attacking us .

All the soldiers so far had survived … which was so strange for Feral Wolves who didn’t stop until their prey was dead .

All the soldiers that had gotten injured were the ones who attacked 

first .

Reports from some of the packs in the region confirmed that they just came in groups and would stare for a long time , then turn and go away .

It was as if something was attracting them to the White Mountains but it was a mystery to all of us .

Every day , I made rounds , inspecting each duty post personally .

There was tension in the air and I knew all our warriors were on the edge , but I’ve ordered them not to attack .

Since the Ferals weren’t engaging us , it was best we leave them alone until we figured out what was happening .

I had also minimized movement in and out of the pack’s territory , putting the whole region on lockdown .

16:24 

15 Storm breaking … 

No one came in or out without direct permission from me .

Despite all of this , my attention was still split .

Half of me was focused on keeping everyone safe but the other … The desperate half was still worried about Lyla .

I hated that I couldn’t be by her side , not like Nathan who had barely left her side since we brought her in .

I had to stop myself from yelling at him , all the times I had to sneak in to see her .

.

I couldn’t afford to draw suspicion from my grandfather or even the Pack Healer .

If word got out that I was constantly frequenting the White Mountains healing ground , people would ask questions and right now , with the Region’s survival on the line , any sign of weakness could end my reign .

That’s why tonight , despite every part of me hating to be here , I was sitting down for dinner with my grandfather and Cassidy’s family .

My wolf was seething with annoyance , anytime Cassidy tried to seek my attention or brush her body against mine .

He hated her .

My grandfather , Eldric was at the head of the table , watching me closely , as if he wanted to make sure I wasn’t hiding anything .

According to him , I had accepted to marry Cassidy without complaint .

The dinner was the first step towards our Union – Me and Cassidy’s .

I clenched my jaw .

I had to agree to it .

I had no other choice .

With the threat of the Ferals , it was clear that the White Moon Throne needed stability , a united front .

Mating with Cassidy was the logical choice – it was politically sound since her father was the Lycan of White Lake Mountain Pack .

— 

Our union would strengthen the throne and would ensure my continuity .

I’d even convinced myself that this was the right thing to do .

My duty didn’t care about how I felt – by the way .

But no matter how many times I tell myself that , my thoughts keep drifting back to Lyla .

And my wolf – damn Lax , howled incessantly for her all the time .

“ Ramsey ,” my grandfather’s voice broke into my thoughts .

“ You’ve hardly touched the food .

Is everything alright ? You seem distracted .

”

“ I’m not ! ” I responded immediately with a forced smile “ Just thinking about the border patrols .

I received a mind link before dinner that they spotted another group of Ferals outside the Southern border just sitting there , doing nothing .

” 

Cassidy’s father – Elder Thorne nodded .

“ Well done , Alpha .

I heard they breached the lower borders earlier this week .

” 

“ We’ve increased the patrols , ” I assured him .

“ Everything would be fine moving forward .

It’s just strange that they’re not attacking or anything .

Is this normal , Grandpa ? ” 

“ No ! ” my grandfather shook his head “ But enough of those worrying thoughts .

Let’s just enjoy the dinner and Elder Thorne and his family’s presence .

” 

“ We’re so honoured for the invite , Pop – pop ! ” Cassidy flashed my grandfather a smile calling him by the name we used to call him as kids .

My grandfather laughed and then turned to her father again , giving him a sly smile .

“ I believe it’s time we discuss the future of our children .

They obviously regretted breaking off their engagement , ” he chuckled .

“ What do you think of a Winter Joining Ceremony , Cassidy? ” 

“ I love winters ! ” She beamed .

“ I think it’s the perfect time of the year for them to be joined .

I confirmed with a moon priestess that the 18th full moon of the year is the best time and it’s the second week into winter .

They were really meant to be ,” Cassidy’s 

mother beamed .

“ That’s excellent then ! ” my grandfather nodded .

“ I’ll make sure Ramsey makes time before the end of this month for the official engagement party .

Can you check your schedule and let me know , Ramsey ? ” His gaze sought 

mine .

“ Of course ! ” I nodded and concentrated on my food .

Suddenly , something flickered into my mind … someone was trying to send a mind link .

Only a few people had access to send me a mindlink directly aside from my Beta and my grandfather including some top – ranking Warriors and

Elders .

I stiffened in my chair , ignoring the link .

But it kept coming .

Reluctantly , I opened the link.

It was the healer in charge of Lyla .

I had given him a direct mindlink to me so he could send reports about Lyla to me .

“ This better be good! ” I sighed .

“ Alpha , it’s Lyla … she’s awake ! ” 

On cue , thunder struck and it started raining .

I just sat there , unable to process the relief that washed over me .

My gaze flitted round to the people , excitedly planning my life without my consent .

I imagined Lyla at the table with us … without a wolf … with her pheromones every month … It wasn’t a pleasant image .

My heart throbbed with pain at the realization of what I must do .

I was bound by duty first before any other thing .

“ I need to use the restroom , ” I announced , rising to my feet as I walked to the door .

“ It might be a while ,” I added , “ You can finish up dinner without me and Grandpa , instead of the engagement , how about we hold the joining ceremony at the first full moon of next month ? I’m tired of putting it off ! ” 

Without waiting for a reply , I walked out of the room , straight into the rain .

My clothes were soaked in seconds but I couldn’t care less .

My only thought was to get to her .

I had to see Lyla … I had to put an end to this longing … once 

and for all .

I shifted into my wolf form as I sprinted through the wet earth , the rain soaking my fur , spurring me on.

Today would be the day I bury those feelings .

When I arrived at the healer’s building , a familiar figure emerged from the darkness , arms crossed .

It was Nathan and he didn’t have a pleasant look on his face .

He came towards me .

“ She’s asking for you ! ” he said , watching me “ Make sure you keep your promise .

” 

I nodded , unsure of what to say .

I was too tired to banter words with him

too .

I also wondered how much did Nathan know ? How much had Lyla told him ? 

“ Thank you ! ” I said instead “ For staying with her .

” 

His eyes narrowed .

“ I didn’t do it for you , Alpha Ramsey .

Lyla is my friend and from what I’ve gathered , she needs all the friends she can get and also … ” He leaned closer to me , his mouth in my ear “ No one should know about her being your mate ! ” 

I froze and turned to him , arching my brow .

“ I saw your mark on her neck .

.

and the way you’ve been acting , explains everything .

” He said .

“ Hurry now and do what you must … end her misery quickly … please ! Don’t hurt her anymore , or else … ” he trailed off .

“ You’ll answer to me ! ” o
