The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

148 Manifestation III Lyla Ne ding to clear my head , I dressed quickly in some training outfits and headed for the training ground .

The morning air was crisp , the scent of dew on the grass calming my nerves .

I know by the time I engage in a few physical exertions it would help me forget about the weird dream I had about my wolf .

I didnt want to think too much about it , since I still couldnt communicate with her or anything .

So , it could all be in my head .

I didnt want to hope .

I started warming up .

Doing simple stretches and lunges trying to shake off the lingering emotions from the dream .

* Didnt think Id find you here so early a familiar voice teased .

I turned to see Ramsey at the edge of the training area , a playful smirk on his lips .

He wore low slung training pants , his muscular torso glistening with a light sheen of sweat .

I was guessing he was just coming back from a run .

His amber eyes sparkled , and for a moment , I forgot how to breathe .

The hug we shared yesterday and the bulge I had felt pressing on my thighs flitted into my memory , sending a warm course to my lower abdomen .

I turned away quickly , feeling guilty at the thought .

I needed some air and , Im so behind on my training , figured Ill do something here until Ive recovered enough to train fully , I replied , brushing a loose strand of hair behind my ear , my back to him .

I dont see any training instructor , he strode over .

Mind if I join you ? I could teach you some basics .

How about you get a shirt on first ? I said in my head but arched my eyebrow instead .

You ? Train me ? Arent you busy with work ? I still have two hours before I resume being an Alpha for today .

I am learnt so far ? s to see what youve I wanted to tell him it was fine and that I would find another way, but I couldnt bring myself to say the words .

Instead , I allowed him to come , and we started training .

We started with light sparring .

He demonstrated a defensive move .

His hands lingered a moment too long on my body , making my breath catch and my skin tingling where he touched .

At some point , he came up behind me , his hard chest brushing against my back , his warm breath near my car , sending electric thrills all over my body .

By the time he finished teaching me the defensive skill , I couldnt remember the name or the technique .

My body was humming with need .

Youre getting better , he said as he stood close behind me , his hands briefly resting on my shoulders to correct my form .

Flattery wont make me go easy on you , I squeaked out , turning my head to meet his gaze .

Our eves locked , and the air between us thickened .

For a moment , the world seemed to fade away and that darned attraction … the same one that had made us lunge at each other the morning after the gala returned .

Good , he murmured , his voice a little rougher as he broke the silence .

But before anything else could happen , other warriors started arriving , breaking the stepped back , his expression unreadable .

I joined the warriors for group drills before we started the main training .

spell .

He As the morning progressed , the training became more intense .

Ramsey didnt leave , he hung in one corner shouting out instructions to them now and again and constantly reminding me to go casy since I was still recovering .

When it was time to pair in groups , Ramsey paired me with a rookle warrior .

Despite the sudden queasiness that was pooling in my stomach , I ignored the sensation … blaming it on my sleepwalks .

I passed the first drill … the instructors voice , occasionally would sound so far , but a little shake of my head always did it .

However , as I got to the third stage of the test , I felt a strange energy coursing through my body .

The world was spinning slightly .

Something felt … off , but I ignored it again .

You can rest .

Ramseys voice filtered into my mind .

Dont worry , I said , turning to the fellow warrior whom I was sparring with .

The warrior threw a punch the easiest punch that I could dodge by simply moving to my left flank , but my reflexes were sluggish and my body was unresponsive .

The punch connected to my ribs , sending me stumbling backwards .

Pain erupted through my body .

But more than the pain , a burning sensation started spreading from my core , making me collapse to the ground .

My skin felt like it was on fire .

Lyla ! Ramsey was at my side in an instant , cradling me in his arms .

Are you okay ? Im fine , I insisted in a shaky voice .

I think Ive overexerted myself .

Ramsey pressed his hand against my forehead , making a frustrated sound .

Someone call for an ambulance .

He shouted and then turned to me , murmuring .

Youre burning up .

Im sure its nothing , I argued .

Ive not had any breakfast , and all this sparring might have caused something to shift within me .

I just need a few minutes .

Save your strength .

An ambulance will be here soon .

No … No … My vision was slowly slipping .

Call Nanny ; shell be angry if I go to any healer ! Okay ! I heard Ramsey say , but something strange was happening at the same time .

My sense of smell became heightened .

It was as if I could pick out the distinct scent of everyone present in the training arena .

12/3 148 Manifestation ili Ramseys … scent filled my nostrils , awakening passion that I thought had died long ago .

My dimining vision flitted to his neck , wondering the perfect spot for my mark … his Adams apple bobbed up and down , making me grow excited .

I was practically dying and rusting at the same time .

Youre a fine man , I heard myself murmur , lifting a feeble hand to caress his jaw .

And those lips … My eyes made out the crinkle at the side of his eyes … though his body was tensed with worry , I didnt miss the amusement in his eyes .

What happened with the lips ? You want them ? To … kiss … them … I slurred .

But I cant .

Were both with different people .

I cant betray Nathan ; hell be furious .

But hes such a good kisser , too .

His kisses leave me breathless … And mine ? The world spun … my vision darkened completely , and I closed my eyes , relying only on Ramseys voice .

It makes me want to … I gestured with my hand for him to bring his head closer .

I think he complied because I felt a slight movement from his end .

Sleep with you .

And then … I let the darkness have me .
