The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

37 The rift in our world …

Ramsey

The cool mountain air did little to cool the frustration simmering inside me as I stood at the large , arched window overlooking the sprawling White Mountains .

It had been days since I’d brought Nathan here , hoping to extract information about Lyla but he was proving more stubborn than I’d anticipated .

I felt ashamed and angry at the same time that someone else had kept Lyla’s whereabouts a secret while I had rejected her without thinking it through it didn’t help that all attempts to locate her in the world had hit dead ends .

My hands tightened on the window ledge , my knuckles turning white as I replayed my last conversation with Nathan last night in my mind .

Behind me , Lenny cleared his throat gently .

“ Ramsey ,” he began cautiously .

“ You know this isn’t getting us anywhere .

Nathan’s not going to talk and holding him here isn’t going to make it easier to find Lyla or make her magically appear .

You need to let him go , he’s the

37 The rift in our world …

Alpha Heir – you can’t continue keeping him here like this .

It’s against our laws .

”

I clenched my jaw , refusing to turn away from the view .

“ I don’t care ,” I scoffed .

“ if Nathan has even the

smallest clue where she is , I’ll get it out of him and I’ll let him go .

”

Lenny took a step forward , “ Your engagement to Cassidy is tomorrow .

It’s time to forget about Lyla .

You rejected her , remember ? You made your choice .

If word gets out that you’re holding an Alpha Heir like this , it could lead to a revolt amongst the other Alphas and that’s the last thing we need now .

”

“ Any word from the Panthers ? ” I asked , leaving window as I crossed the room to where the minibar

was .

“ Are you even listening to what I’m saying ? ” Lenny sighed “ You’re obsessing over her at this point .

Stooping low to use Panthers .

What would your grandfather say when he finds out that you’ve been wasting resources on Panthers because of a deviant ? ” Anger thrummed within me .

In a flash , I crossed the room and grabbed Lenny by the collar slamming his

back against the wall .

“ Don’t you dare … ”

“ Dare what ? ” he interrupted meeting my gaze with a chilly one of his .

“ Come to your senses , Ramsey .

The Panthers are saying they will no longer work with you .

All the ones that were sent to go look for her always come back maimed .

It’s either they’re blind , their tongues have been pulled out and they behave like they’ve seen something terrible and they cannot speak .

The only one amongst them who still has his vision is mentally unstable .

He flinches at the slightest sound .

Maybe , it’s a sign that you need to forget about
