The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

75 Lyla Woodland is back …

Cassidy .

I sat at the dining table of White Lake Packhouse my pack , chewing on my perfectly manicured nails – a habit my mother spent years trying to break .

I was nervous .

The late afternoon sun streaming through the tall windows did nothing to warm the chill in my mom’s voice as she paced across the room , her voice rising and falling with each word .

As always , my father stood at the corner of the room , arms crossed , his face impassive …

He wasn’t saying much , which I wished he would at times when my mother went on and on… but as always , he was dedicated to supporting his mate , no matter what .

“ Have you no shame , Cassidy ? ” My mother snapped , staring at me with disapproval .

“ You’re not doing enough , that’s why Alpha Ramsey still hasn’t made you his Luna and do you know why ? ”

I just stared at her .

“ Because you’re failing to do your duty as a woman .

A real woman would have him eating from the palm of her hand , ready to risk everything for her .

But here you are … a glorified mistress .

.

the so – called Luna of the White Moon Throne … engaged for four years and counting with no sign of ever getting married .

”

“ He will marry me ! ” I said quietly , wringing my fingers as there was nothing left to chew on .

“ When ? ” my

mother asked turning round to face me .

“ I warned you against going to live with him .

at the White Moon Packhouse but of course , you ignored me .

Never , has your so – called .

mate – to – be ever come to see us .

Not even a courtesy visit .

”

“ He’s always busy , mother ! ” I said quietly , daring to meet her eyes .

“ He’s the Lycan Leader ….

protector of our world .

You think he’ll … ”

“ Oh , shut up ! ” my mother hissed , “ This is exactly why he looks down on you , on our family .

You’re nothing but a weakling .

You’re not making yourself desirable enough and yet you wonder why he hasn’t made you his Luna ? ”

My eyes darted to my father but he wouldn’t intervene .

He never did .

“ That nonsense from four years ago about bad luck falling on our world because of your marriage to him ? Well … Isn’t it over two years ? ” My mother laughed bitterly .

“ I told you it was a

lie ”

“ I’ve tried , mother ! ” I cried , trying to mask the frustration in my voice .

“ I’m trying .

But Ramsey … he doesn’t love me .

It’s as simple as that .

Maybe he just … maybe he just doesn’t care the way he

should ! ”

Her eyes flashed as she clenched her fists and came to me .

“ Love ? ” her voice was cold as ice .
