The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 231 231: A battle of wills...

Lyla

"Ramsey has enough problems of his own. I don't want to burden him."

Terra sighed. "Lyla, you can't just walk into Blue Ridge…"

I rolled my eyes in exasperation. "Are you saying I should do nothing? That I should sit here while my mother suffers in a dungeon?

"No," Terra sighed, her eyes were glistening with sympathy. "No, I'm saying be smart about this. You're his mate, but you're also a Werewolf and have some connection with Nathan. You have to tread carefully. There has to be another way."

I clenched my fists, feeling helpless.

I had a shuffle behind my back when I turned, I saw Ramsey walking towards me, he had an endearing smile as he came closer. As soon as I saw him, for some reason unknown to me, I burst into tears.

Ramsey immediately came to where I stood and gathered me in his arms, rubbing my back silently, murmuring sweet nothings to me while I sobbed. Terra just sat there, lost. When I was exhausted, I pulled away from Ramsey and said with teary eyes and a shaky voice.

"I'm going to Blue Ridge tomorrow. I can't believe, Nathan would do that to her. I mean, he adores Nanny like his own mother. He loves her plus he knows how important she is to me. How could he do that? What have I ever done to him more than just being a good friend?"

"Don't worry, she'll be fine, I promise you," he placed a kiss on my forehead before turning his attention to Terra who rose to her feet, curtseying in greeting. Ramsey nods absentmindedly.

"Thank you for coming all the way here to inform us, I truly appreciate and I'll see to it that actions are taken as soon as possible. Hope everything is good?" Ramsey asked.

She shook her head, lowering her gaze. "No since, Mother Liora died. The temple has just lost its sparkle and it feels like every one of us is suffering from something similar. We all thought that the new High Priestess would fill in the gap Mother Liora left but Miriam… everyone thought she had ditched us because she did promise that she would serve in the office for a few months, hoping there's a replacement by then."

"How then did you know she was arrested and thrown into the dungeon?" Ramsey asked.

"You think everything is a trap! Nathan wouldn't do that – he cares about me! he will not hurt me. You don't just care about what happens to Miriam at all, do you?"
