The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

176 And more truths … Ramsey D My hands went limp as I stared at my grandfather .

Werewolves are ingrates .

A defective werewolf is even worse , my grandfather continued .

They never remember anything .

Once something is wrong with them , they can cause more harm than the worst of evil .

But … I opened my mouth to speak , but no words would come out of it .

I heard my whole life that a rogue attack killed my parents while traveling to the Annual Moon Goddess worship ceremony .

No one said anything about it happening in the pack house .

So , if you think I would ever accept you and your defective mate just because shes a Moonsinger ….

then you may as well have me killed .

Ive been patient with you for 21 years , Ramsey .

Ive turned a blind eye to everything .

Allowed you to do what you want and yet you will never take my advice .

Your father ….

My father is dead ! 1 growled , hating the way my hands were shaking .

And I cant replace him , no matter what .

And you knew… all this while ? I know everything , Ramsey .

I know how youve been squandering pack resources looking for your half baked mate .

I know you housed her in this pack , all your little trips when she was ill .

I know everything you have been doing , but I thought youd come to your senses .

That your sense of duty would prevail and youll do the right thing for the first time without being forced .

He took a deep breath , his eyes flashing with annoyance .

Lets take care of this minor hitch tonight .

Get through this festival and youll get married to Cassidy Thorne immediately .

You will no longer delay or else .

I will see that youre stripped of your title as the Lycan Leader .

Im sure theyre plenty of young men who will do as theyre told .

Youre threatening me ? I scoffed .

Ill do more than that .

Youve had your fun , Ramsey , he snapped , But enough is enough .

The thing with Lyla ends now .

You will marry Cassidy as soon as the Harvest Moon is over .

Its whats best for the pack ? I smirked .

Whats best for the pack ? Or whats best for you , Grandfather ? He slammed his hand on the table in my room , the force rattling the objects on it .

Do not test The Do you think your behavior belts an Alpha ? I turned a blind eye to your brief fling … Heat rose in my chest .

It was not a fling … it ? I dont want to hear it be cut through my protest .

3 love her , Pop I continued , ignoring his protest to stop .

I love her so much .

For each day I see hex , 1 dali in love again with her and Fm tired of pretending that I want Cassidy .

He matched up to me again and wanted to hit me for the third time , but Lenny held his hand .

And more truths .

He was vibrating with anger .

You know what ! he said .

I am to blame .

I spoiled you , but choose now .

Between her and Cassidy .

In fact … he paced , then stopped again .

No need to choose .

Ill choose for you .

You will marry Cassidy .

That is my final decision .

Decided by who ? my voice rose to match his .

This is my life ; my future and Ive changed mind .

my Your future is the packs future .

Cassidy is from a strong bloodline .

Her family is the financial pillar of this pack .

Do you know how much we owe them in debt ? Ill work hard and pay them everything .

Allow me to be with Lyla .

Please .

He stared at me for a few seconds , then his gaze softened .

Cassidy is you future , and honor that .

you will I met his glare , refusing to back down .

And what if I dont want that future ? What if Cassidy isnt … Enough his voice boomed , cutting him off .

This is not about your wants or hers .

Its about duty , legacy and survival of our pack .

You will do whats expected of you .

End of discussion .

The tension between us heated the room .

He stared at me for a moment longer , his expression hard with disappointment , before turning on his heel and storming out , slamming the door in his wake .

I exhaled sharply , running a hand through my hair .

I was shaking with angry .

If your grandfather is right about that werewolf , we need to act now , Lenny said quietly .

He had retreated to a corner when the exchange between my grandfather and me became heated .

You saw it that day , Lenny .

It helped us and we cannot stereotype especially now .

We dont have a lot of options , and finding someone who can help us with the Ferals is all we need .

Still , think about the people … My mind raced .

The festival was full of families , elders , and children .

If this wolf made it to the grounds … but again , it didnt seem like it would attack without provocation .

You must stop it ; Lenny came closer , speaking calmly , but his voice was firm .

If this wolf is heading there , its not by chance .

Something someone sent it .

Its not dangerous , Lenny I sparked .

You saw it that day … Just because it killed a few Ferals … A few Ferald ? Really ? I scoffed .

I cant even begin with you ? As I turned to head to the door , it burst open and Seth rushed in .

His usually bored expression was pair with urgency .

Alpha Seth said , his voice breathless .

Theyve spotted the two tailed werewolf ! i immediately straightened .

Where ? And more truths .

Seth swallowed ; his eyes wide .

The East Wing of the pack house , housing the priestesses .

Its fighting a small group of Trinax and Ferals .

I didnt waste a second .

I shot past Seth , my feet carrying me through the corridors .

Commotion filled the halls as warriors and pack members hurried in every direction .

The air was thick with the scent of fear and adrenaline .

The scent of blood grew stronger as I reached the priestesses room .

A small crowd of Alphas gathered outside the room , including Nathan , their faces mirroring awe .

1 shouldered my way through until I reached the front .

What greeted me was chaos .

All around the room were splashes of blood and the lifeless bodies of Ferals and Trinax .

The two tailed wolf , for the first time , had her fur soiled .

Her twin tails were whipping through the air like living weapons as she attacked both a Feral and Trinax simultaneously .

The priestesses huddled in a corner of the room , with Miriam standing protectively before them .

I strained my neck , searching for Lyla .

Hoping I would see her , but she was nowhere to be found .

Trying to shrug off the fear that crept up my spine , I turned my gaze to the fighting scene .

I had seen the two tailed fighting through the cam , but watching her in real life left me star struck .

She moved with an impossible grace .

Each strike was precise and devasting .

She finally defeated the Trinax before facing the Ferals , which proved no match either .

Finished , she turned , heaving with exertion as she scanned the room .

I moved towards her , taking a cautious step forward .

She snarled , backing away , its golden eyes holding a warning I couldnt read .

Easy … Im not here to hurt you .
