The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

144 A different Ramsey ….

Lyla What ? my eyes widened with surprise .

Really ? How ? I mean , why ? Beta Jeremy doesnt look like someone who would harbour resentment against anyone .

The man only smiles when he sees his son .

He reminds me of a bear You know nothing about Betas , Nanny laughed.

They hold and bear grudges , like old women , but its a long story and nothing inconsequential .

Dont worry , Ill just stay in my former room at the maids quarters and avoid your mother .

My mind flitted to what Nathan had told me earlier about him listening to conversations about my dad and his dad arguing about Nanny .

Was there a reason behind it ? Plus , when I had first arrived at Blue Ridge , Beta Jeremy kept asking me if Nanny would show up .

What was really going on with them ? I wont involve myself in adult problems , I said finally .

Gosh ! I said , plumping on Nannys bed .

I feel much better after talking .

Do you think the warriors will be fine ? If they follow every line of your instructions .

Visions are clear warnings of future occurrences .

Theyre not like dreams , which are always ambiguous and always when theres a vision , it means theres a chance for the bad things to be averted .

Lets hope they do as youve told them .

I nodded .

I was dying to ask her a lot of questions , but knowing who Nanny was , she wouldnt say a word .

She laid down beside me on the bed and I went to her , placing my head on her shoulders , and wrapping her in a hug .

She held me too , and we stayed like that for a few minutes before I broke the silence again .

Nan ! She grunted .

* Is it possible for a Moonsinger to have a wolf ? She shot out of my hands and turned to me , her eyes wide with fright .

Do you have one ? No ! I huffed .

Im just asking I lied .

Curiosity and all … Are you sure ? she asked again .

100 % I nodded , making sure I did not take my gaze off her .

I always do that when I lie .

I told you Im just curious .

Does it mean anything bad ? She sighed and lay on the bed again .

This time , she gathered me in her arms , cradling me like I was a baby .

Not necessarily , she murmured .

Its like having two worlds inside one person and it could be draining and dangerous if they dont know how to control both powers .

We were silent for a few minutes before she sighed again and said .

Im worried about you , Lyla .

Im scared for the future , about everything .

I dont know if you should be here doing this .

The meanings of everything happening finding you in the forest earlier , the visions , how youre still 144 A different Ramsey Im fine , Nan ! I whispered .

Nothing will happen and Ill be starting training tomorrow with the warriors here until I can go .

When do you think Ill be strong enough to leave ? After the final cleansing , she said with a sigh .

Mother still believes that theres a remnant of Xander in you .

Dont worry , itll be done right here .

All we need is water from White Lake and well use Mother Liora this time around .

She says it was because I was connected to you emotionally … Oh ! I nodded , trying to be brave .

The cleansing still needs to happen , no matter what .

I was scared of facing the same ordeal as before , but I didnt want to show it .

Yeah ! she nodded .

Regarding marrying Nathan , can he wait until after your training ? Wont he be asked to present a Luna on the day of his official coronation ? That has been suspended .

Every pack is trying to survive , so no one is holding any kind of ceremony that would require people travelling to come meet you .

Dont worry .

After the Feral activity reduces , then everything might resume … important ones .

How do you know all these things ? There was a morning assembly today , and I had to go with Mother Liora .

Your mate Ramsey made it a temporary order that would expire until we tackle the insecurity .

A lot of the Elders were not happy , so he gave them a chance to join the warriors and fight or forget about their titles .

They werent pleased , but no one complained .

I like how firm he is .

Nathan is firm too .

She rolled her eyes .

He didnt argue with Ramsey for the first time , she laughed .

And is it just me ? But theyve been acting weird these days .

The first night you came here , they took turns watching you .

She rolled onto her side , an amused glint in her eyes .

How does it feel to have the heart of two powerful men at your disposal ? I couldnt help but laugh .

Its not a pleasant feeling , but I like it sometimes .

We shared a peal of laughter , and I was about to say something else when Ramsey burst into the room .

Oh ! he lowered his eyes when he saw Nanny .

I was told Lyla was here .

Nanny nodded .

Do you want me to leave ? No ! Ramsey shook his head .

His clothes were dusty and his face was still smudged with dirt , but his expression was triumphant .

I rose from the bed and walked up to him .

Whats up ? He pulled me into a tight hug .

It worked , he said , his voice filled with relief and excitement .

We did everything you sald , and it worked perfectly .

All the Ferals were killed , every single one of them .

Except for the Trinax who escaped , but the people at the southern border are safe .

I pulled back , my eyes wide .

You went out there with them ? I thought youd be supervising 144 A different Ramsey … He shrugged , a small smile playing on his lips .

Id die of anxiety if I didnt .

I couldnt just sit here .

Your grandfather would be pissed .

Youre the fate of our world .

What if something happens to you ? Youre not supposed to … Nothing happened to me , he interrupted with a grin .

You practically saved us time and resources and life .

Weve been doing it wrong all this while , he laughed .

gods ! This is the best day of my life .

Youre that happy that everyones safe ? I asked softly , staring at him with awe .

He was acting as if someone had just given him candy .

Ill take He nodded , his expression turning serious .

If its possible if I could save every life that chance every time .

If I can protect them , protect my world … then its worth everything and Ill be the most fulfilled Lycan Leader ever .

4 I stared at him , stunned .

Id never seen this side of him before selfless , vulnerable , and compassionate .

It was a far cry from the man I thought I knew , and it left me reeling .

I have to leave now ! he said excitedly .

I dont want Cassidy to come looking for me , but youre fine , right ? You dont feel faint anymore ? Im fine , I nodded .

Great ! Ill see you later .

I dont know before .

Ill go now .

when but … thank you for today and Im sorry for hesitating He nodded to Nanny before leaving the room .

For the first time , I wondered if there was more to Ramsey than Id ever allowed myself to see .
