The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 9: A prisoner for my mate…

Lyla

I stumbled out of the garden.

My heart was still heavy from the crushing rejection by my mate.

2

Although he didn’t reject me, he made it clear of the position I held in his life.

I’d wanted to believe, for the tiniest moment, that his touch had meant more… The way he had looked at me with eyes filled with love as he sank his teeth into my neck still played in my mind, but his cold dismissal after everything shattered my hopes.

I walked down the corridors, my vision blurring with tears.

His mark on my neck was still throbbing, reminding me of what happened earlier.

As I reached my room, I was startled when I saw Seth – the butler, standing in front of my door.

I hurriedly wiped the tears from my eyes and bowed stiffly to him.

His brows arched and for a moment, I thought he was going to ask me questions.

Instead, he drew himself to his full height and came to stand in front of me.

“It’s time for your bath, Miss.

A maid will come for you shortly.

After that, lunch will be served.

”

I nodded with a strained smile.

“Thank you.

”

As I turned to open my door, Seth’s voice reached me again.

“Also, there’s a young man at the outside our gates, requesting to see you.

His name is Nathan and he claims to be your friend.

Do you wish to speak to him?” I paused my steps and turned to Seth, my eyes widening with surprise.

“Nathan is here?”

“Yes, Miss,” he nodded.

My heart leapt at the news.

Joy surged through my heart, but as soon as I thought of running out to meet him, I immediately had second thoughts.

I couldn’t face him like this, smelling like another wolf, with Ramsey’s mating mark still throbbing on my neck.

Nathan could read me like a book and I was tired of being vulnerable.

If anything, I was ashamed of myself.
