The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

149 Ripple … Nathan It was killing me .

Sitting and waiting was killing me .

I barely slept a wink the entire night .

Every second my eyes would dart to my phone until I ran the battery repeatedly , waiting for a return call from Lyla or Nanny .

My hoofs pounded on the wet earth as I pushed myself harder , the early morning air slicing through my lungs as I raced through the dense forest as Ragnar my wolf .

I wanted to escape the uncertainty that had taken root since I helped Lyla come back from her semi trapped state .

I wanted to run away from the words The Dark One had whispered in my eyes , with confidence brimming in his eyes as he told me he was waiting for me all along and knew Id come .

I wanted to run away from the pressure of leading the pack .

All I wanted was to lie beside Lyla and forget .

Oh ! How I wanted to forget everything … But Lyla wouldnt even take my call .

It wasnt like her to ignore me and that made me worried .

Was something wrong ? Or worse , had Ramsey gone back on his promise ? My mind drifted to the last conversation I had with Ramsey before I left White Moon pack .

I need to hear you say it again , I demanded coldly .

That you will not mess with her That youre going to stay with Cassidy .

anymore .

Leaning casually against the edge of a desk , a brow raised , he sighed .

I already told you , Nathan .

Cassidy is my future Luna .

She and I are getting officially mated as soon as these Feral threats get resolved to a good extent .

And Lyla… his voice faltered , his face hardening into a mask of indifference .

Lylas yours .

I know that much and I wont interfere .

I narrowed my eyes at him , searching his face for any sign of deceit .

You better mean it , I warned .

Because if you dont … D I mean it , he cut in tersely .

You have my word .

I slowed my pace , shifting immediately back to my human form , chest heaving , hands on my knees .

I leaned against a nearby tree , sweat dripping down my bare torso as I stared at the surrounding forest .

The flashback left a bitter taste in my mouth .

I hated how much I still doubted Ramsey , and my unease wouldnt let me rest .

If I dont hear from them by the end of today , I muttered to myself , wiping the sweat from my brow .
