The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 180

180 The proposal … Lyla Everyone on the Festival grounds parted like a wave , creating a path as Nathan approached me guiding the wooden platform that held the proposal .

Around us , people murmured , pointing excitedly at us .

My heart pounded in my chest as he drew closer .

His usual confidence was replaced by an endearing nervousness that made him look younger and more vulnerable .

He carried a bouque of night blooming jasmine , the rarest of flowers youd ever see in our world .

I cant believe he remembered .

Of course he had .

Wed spent countless nights in the garden as teenagers , where Id told him how the flowers reminded me of the sweet memories of my childhood .

Finally , the platform rolled to a stop and Nathan stepped off as he came to stand directly before me .

The bouquet trembled slightly in his hands as he extended it toward me .

For you .

he said , in a tone softer than Id ever heard .

I accepted the flowers , burying my nose in it .

He inhaled deeply , his gaze still holding mine .

The he lowered himself onto one knee .

Gasps rippled through the crowd , but my world had narrowed to just the two of us .

Lyla , he began , his voice was steady despite the nervous smile he flashed me .

I know we agreed to keep our relationship private , but I cant contain my heart any longer .

Every day , I wake up thinking of you .

Every night , I dream of our future together and I cant hold it in anymore .

Not when every fibre of my being screams , youre my mate .

My knees weakened at the sincerity in his tone , so much so that I was trembling .

Ive dreamed of you every day … he continued … of what it would be like to wake up beside you to share my life with you , to be the one you turn to in everything .

I know its not perfect , but Lyla , I dont want it any other way .

Youre my heart , my soul , my everything .

Tears welled in my eyes as my grip tightened on the bouquet .

As my mate , you would never know a day without love , without protection , without absolute devotion , his voice grew stronger , more certain with each word .

Ive seen your strength , your kindness , your fierce spirit .

Ive watched you overcome every challenge fate has thrown at you , and I fall more in love with you each time .

He reached into his pocket , producing a small wooden box carved with the same ancient symbols as the proposal platform .

I promise you , Lyla , that I will never hurt you or break your Trust .

I will never let you face your battles alone .

I will cherish every moment we have together , whether in joy or hardship .

So please … He flipped open the box to reveal a ring that sparkled like the Harvest Moon above us .

Holding it towards me , his eyes locked on mine .

Please , give me your heart , as I give you mine .

Be my mate , my partner , my everything .
