The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 265

265: The uprising...

Ramsey

Pure rage simmered like boiling water as I stormed through the courtyard.

My boots kicked up gravel with each angry stride. My Lycan – Lax was clawing at my insides, and my ribs. He was moving around restless and agitated, growling to be let out, run, and hunt.

It had been nearly three days—seventy-two excruciating hours—since Lyla had disappeared, and my control was slipping by the second.

"Ramsey, please!" Lenny called from behind me. "Just stop and listen for a moment!"

I kept walking. If I stopped, if I faced him right now, I couldn't guarantee what would happen. My hands were already trembling, claws threatening to burst through my fingertips.

"Ramsey! Ramsey, wait!"

His footsteps pounded against the ground as he ran after me.

He finally caught up, darting in front of me and planting himself directly in my path. His face was flushed, eyes pleading.

"You need to calm down and listen to me. Please."

"Listen?" I snarled, feeling my canines elongate slightly. "You want me to listen? After you encouraged Lyla to leave the pack and go into the Northern Forest alone?" I closed in on him, forcing him to step back. "It's been nearly seventy-two hours, Lenny. No word, no scent, no sign of her anywhere. And you want me to listen?"

My Lycan, Lax, was practically howling inside me, begging for a run—or better yet, for blood. I could feel him pacing, a massive shadow cast across my consciousness, his rage mirroring my own.

"I did not encourage her," Lenny insisted, his voice rising with exasperation. "It was all her idea, Ramsey. She wanted to do something for you. She was convinced that if she got her power back, she could help you with the Ferals."

"And you let her go?" I ran a hand through my hair, tugging at the roots in frustration. "You knew she wasn't strong enough yet. You knew the dangers, and still—"

"Where is she?" I suddenly shouted, my voice echoing across the courtyard. Several pack members nearby flinched and hurried away. "Where the fuck is she, Lenny?"

I grabbed him by the collar, lifting him slightly. "By the gods, if Lyla doesn't come back to me in one piece... I swear I'm going to do something rash to you."

Lenny didn't struggle against my grip, didn't try to defend himself. The resignation in his eyes only fueled my anger. He'd known it was a mistake, and he'd let her go anyway.
