The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

171 Emotional turmoil … Ramsey o My heart nearly stopped .

Lyla had never set foot in my room before .

Seeing her here felt so surreal , Quickly , I placed the frame face down on my counter .

Of course , please come in .

She entered the room , closing the door softly behind her .

Her eyes were red and her hands were fidgeting nervously , I could smell her distress , I wanted to go to her but I didnt want to startle her , so I dug my heels where I stood and waited for her to tell me why she was here .

I didnt know who else to go to , she began , her voice trembling slightly .

Seth he told me Id find you here , I gestured toward a chair , feeling happy at her statement .

Please , sit down .

She shook her head firmly .

No , I cant .

1 … I need to say this or I might explode .

Alarmed , I moved closer trying to comfort her but she backed away .

I kept my distance when she held up her hand .

Please , Ramsey … dont come any closer Okay , I nodded Whats wrong ? Do you want to tell me ? I asked gently .

She took a shaky breath , as tears spilled down her cheeks , alarming me more .

Ramsey , Im going crazy .

I have to tell someone , or I feel like Ill die I clenched my fists at my sides , I wanted to comfort her so badly , but I also wanted to respect her space .

What is it ? You can tell me ? She looked up at me , with eyes filled with anguish .

Ramsey, I could get into lots of trouble if someone knows this and I came to you because it was the most natural thing to do .

But now , I dont know … Im so sorry because Ill burden you with it ? Its not a burden , Lyla and no matter what we would figure it out together .

Can you trust me ? She shook her head .

I cant .

I murmured something inexplicable under my breath .

You have to trust me now , I promise I wont do anything that would put you in harms way .

Please … please … Lyla , look at me … She turned tear filled eyes to me .

I took a step toward her until I was standing close to her .

Gently , I lifted her chin , then with my other free hand wiped the tears on her cheeks .

Her lips trembled and , in a flurry , she leaned against me , sobbing harder , at I just stood there , holding her , trying to thrust away the crazy thought that came to my mind .
