The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

172 The turning point Lyla POV My first instinct was to leave the room since Cassidy was here .

The last time I saw her and at an enclosed space like this was that time at the cafe.

Since then , we havent met at close quarters like this .

Cassidy ! Ramsey called out alarmed .

Now that the door was open , I could hear piercing screams and loud shouts coming from all over the place .

Ramseys body became tensed as if poised for a fight .

He pulled away from What happened ? Why are you crying ? She was shaking her head languidly .

Theyre attacking everyone at the Festive ground .

Creatures without form and its my fault .

Shit ! Ramsey turned to Seth who despite everything still had a neutral expression on his face .

Quick , fetch me the Gammas and Lenny .

I need him now .

He was already walking to the door , brushing past Cassidy who was sobbing .

He didnt have time to question how the attack was her fault .

That would come later .

Ill come with you , I volunteered , falling behind him .

No , stay here .

Youll be safe and no matter what , do not open the door for anyone .

Seth , youre with me .

Before I could protest and insist , the door to his room closed with a click , leaving me and Cassidy locked in .

I stood in stunned silence , my heart pounding as I heard him barking orders to people outside .

His refusal to accept my help stung , but I had no time to dwell on it .

The air in the room shifted , growing thick with an unspoken tension .

Gingerly , I walked to the door and tried to pry it open but it refused to give way , as if it had been locked from outside .

The sound of Ramseys footsteps and Seths quiet one faded down the hallway , leaving an oppressive silence in their wake .

I turned , suddenly feeling afraid , to see Cassidy with tears streaming down her face , take a step towards my direction .

I took another step backward , until I was almost at the door .

As I watched , something chilling happened Cassidys tears that had been coming in torrents a second ago simply stopped .

Like someone had turned off a faucet .

I had a bad feeling about this .

Cassidy wiped at the remnants of her tears on her cheeks , a cold smile spread across her face as she advanced towards me , her movements predatory .

There was a menacing glint in her eyes .

I warned you didnt 17″ she said in a cold tone .

Her voice carrying none of its usual sweetness she always had when she was around Ramsey .

I told you to say away from Ramsey .

But no , you couldnt listen .
