The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 76

76 I know who I am .

I know what I want 

76 I know who I am .

I know what I want … 

Cassidy 

The room spun .

.

My fingers dug into the wooden table , my knuckles turning white as the blood drained from my face .

For a moment , I couldn’t breathe , couldn’t think , couldn’t move .

Then the emotions hit me in rapid succession shock that froze my lungs , fear that turned my blood to ice and finally , anger that coursed through my veins , spreading to every part of my body , pooling hatred in my heart .

Four years .

For four years I’d had to rebuild everything after that deviant disappeared .

Four years of imagining myself as the future Luna , of trying to make Ramsey forget and now … 

My mother’s words echoed in my mind : ‘ If a man loves you , he will do everything possible to be with you ‘ 

After a long pause , I drew in a shaky breath and turned to the guard , my face void of the emotions boiling inside me .

“When ? Where did you see her ? ” 

“ I overhead Beta Lenny informing the Lycan Leader of her arrival this morning with the Alpha Heir of Blue Ridge pack .

Apparently , she came for her father’s funeral , the guard said .

“ And what did Alpha Ramsey say ? ” I asked , fighting the rage boiling in my heart .

“ Nothing ! ” the guard said .

“ He just nodded and went back to what he was doing .

” 

“ Thank you for telling me ,” I nodded , “ You may go now.

” 

As soon as the guard left , I rose from my chair , my tears drying on my cheeks as a smile curved my lips .

I walked to the window , watching the sun sink toward the horizon of the White 

Mountains it would be dark .

Soon , the moon would rise .

I would make sure that Lyla’s return was her final mistake .

It was almost midnight when I returned to White Moon Pack brimming with anger .

As soon as I stepped inside the pack house , I made a beeline for Ramsey’s room hoping for his sake he wasn’t with Lyla .

When I reached his bedroom , I knocked softly before pushing the door open .

The room was empty , the bed still made – clearly , it hadn’t been slept on .

But his scent was in the room .

I 

“ Where are you ? ” I whispered to myself , turning on my heels and starting towards his office .

The pack house was quiet at this hour , most of its staff had retired for the night , so I didn’t see who to ask where Ramsey was .

As I rounded the corner , I nearly collided with Seth , the pack housekeeper , who had an armload of Linens in his arms .

76 I know who am I know what want 

“ Luna Cassidy , ” he bowed curtly to me .

“ I didn’t think you’d come back today .

How was your trip to your pack ? ” he asked .

“ Fine ! ” I nodded .

“ Where is Ramsey ? He’s not in his room .

” 

“ Have 

you checked his office ? He didn’t eat dinner in the dining room but asked us to bring it up to his office .

I’m sure he’d still be there .

” 

“ Oh ! ” I nodded , trying to bring up Lyla without sounding too obvious .

Seth was not like the other domestic staff in the pack house .

He rarely shows emotions and never goes out of character .

“ It seems Ramsey’s schedule is booked full for the week .

Do you know if he has any upcoming plans or … departures ? ” I tried to keep my tone casual but my eyes searched his blank eyes , looking for any hint of information .

“ Nothing I am aware of , Luna Cassidy , ” he shook his head .

“ I know he’s been trying to focus on hist duties which he seems to be lagging in .

But I could inquire if you’d like .

” 

“ No ! ” I shook my head quickly .

“ That will not be necessary .

Are we expecting any guests from any of the werewolf packs ? What’s the name of that Alpha who died ? ” 

“ Alpha Logan ? ” Seth supplied , barely reacting .

“ Yes , that’s the one ! ” I nodded .

“ Do you know what the plans for his burial are ? Is someone from the pack coming to visit us or something or is Ramsey going anywhere ? Maybe Blue Ridge Pack ? He hasn’t gone to pay them his condolences right ? Or will he go anytime soon ? ” 

Seth stared at me for a long time before he exhaled deeply .

“ Luna Cassidy , if you are asking about Miss Lyla , I don’t think you should worry about her .

The Lycan Leader shuttles between the Pack hospital and his office daily .

I’m not sure he’s going to visit her anytime soon .

” 

“ You don’t know him as much as I do , Seth ,” I shook my head .

“ He might be making plans .

He went there the last time .

I just need to know if you’ve heard anything .

Any mentions of travel plans or visitors ? ” 

“ No ! ” he shook his head quietly and for a moment I saw him give me a pityingly glance before he looked away .

“ I forced a smile .

“ Thank you so much , Seth and I know this is a lot to ask but can you give me updates if he changes his mind or something ” 

He shook his head .

“ I’m afraid , I cannot .

I have sworn loyalty to the Lycan Leader , except there’s a direct command from him to share his schedules , I’m afraid , I cannot do that and you have to ask him yourself .

” 

“ Okay ! ” I nodded , trying not to feel dejected .

“ Is there anything else you need assistance with , Luna ? ” he asked .

“ No ! T 

That will be all , ” I shook my head and watched as he bowed curtly before continuing down the hallway while I continued to Ramsey’s office .

I stopped at the front of the door , placing my ears to see if I could pick off any sound but it was silent .

Steeling myself , I knocked quietly before pushing the door open and ushering myself in .

C 

76 I know who Tam .

Eknow what I want .

I paused at the entrance when I saw him buried in a mountain of paperwork .

His jacket was draped over a nearby chair , his sleeves rolled up to his elbows as he worked .

Sensing my presence , he looked up, his piercing gaze meeting with mine in an unexpected warmth .

“ Where have you been ?” he asked .

“ I’ve been looking for you .

His question caught me off – guard completely .

I came here to fight not this .

“ Oh , I … I was just … I went to White Lake , to my pack .

My parents wanted to see me .

” 

I stammered suddenly feeling like I’d been caught doing something wrong , though I knew I 

hadn’t .

He nodded slowly setting down his pen , looking at me fully now .

“ Good .

I needed to talk to you about something important ” 

I shifted with unease .

“ Oh ?” 

“ Yes ,” he nodded , clearing a part of his desk , then gesturing for me to come closer .

He rose from his seat , then sat on the space he made a few seconds ago and then indicated I sit on his chair .

I took the seat , my heart pounding wildly at the nice gestures .

Seeing that I was seated , he took a deep breath .

“ I wanted us to discuss our wedding , he began and my breath caught , my pulse thundering in my ears .

“ I need you to choose a date ” 

“ A date ? ” I repeated , confused .

– 

“ For our Joining Ceremony official wedding ” he clarified .

“ I spoke with the Moon Priest earlier and he confirmed we can go ahead with it .

Usually , the woman needs to provide a date and then the Moon Priest will check if it’s suitable for the ceremony and if it’s not , he will suggest a 

suitable day .

” 

I blinked , struggling to process what he was saying .

“ Our … wedding ? ” the word sounded strange in my mouth as though it was spoken in a dream .

“ Yes ,” he replied smoothly .

“ I’ve done a lot of thinking and I think we shouldn’t wait any longer .

There’s no reason for it .

” 

I narrowed my eyes at him again , trying to process his words .

This wasn’t how I’d expected the conversation to go .

“ What … what is this about ? Did something happen ?” 

His brows furrowed slightly .

“ What do you mean ? ” 

“ Why are you being so … nice about this ? And to me too .

You’ve never allowed me to sit on your chair or stay this long in your office before you start acting like you want me gone .

” 

Amusement flashed in his eyes .

“ I’m always nice to you , Cass .

” He said gently .

“ And I think it’s time too , as simple as that .

You’ve been waiting and you’ve been … patient .

” 

“ Patient ? ” I regarded him warily .

“ Is this because of what I said ? About going after Lyla if you so much as look in her direction .

You’re doing this because you want to protect her ? ” 

His expression sobered .

“ No , your threats mean nothing to me .

I just want to do the right thing .

that’s all .

”

76 I know who I am .

I know what I want … 

He stood , gathering some documents and stacking them on the table as if the conversation was done .

But I wasn’t .

Rising to my feet , I moved and blocked his path .

* Is it true ? ” I asked , my heart hammering in my chest now .

“ About Lyla being back ? ” 

His face remained calm .

“ Yes .

” 

“ And ? ” I pressed hating how vulnerable I sounded and felt .

“ Are you going to … will you … ” 

“ Will I what ? ” he asked .

“ Rekindle things with her ? You want to keep me as your dutiful wife and play all day with your deviant mate .

” 

He studied my face for several seconds , his amber eyes looking at me intensely .

Finally , he shook 

his head .

“ I’ve already made my position clear on that matter .

I rejected her then and nothing has changed .

I’m not going back on that .

“ Are you sure ? I mean … you’ve always … she’s always been there , between us Ramsey .

Are you telling me that you’ll give her up ? ” 

He bent , lowering himself in front of me .

He lifted a hand , brushing a loose strand of hair behind my ear .

His touch was unexpectedly gentle .

“ Cass , he murmured “ I know who I am .

I know what I want .
