The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 271 271: The proposition...

Ramsey

The air suddenly got heavier flapping through my clothes with such intensity that might even sweep me away if care is not taken.

A chill wind swept through me, but I didn't shiver either. I was used to the cold. The kind that cut through bone. The kind that made you or sharpened you. I fought the urge to open my eyes until the snap of a twig pulled me from my thoughts.

I turned my muscles already tensing, ready for an attack – It was an enemy per se – the infamous Dark One, the scourge of packs and the one who was also laying claims on Lyla. Yet here he was, dressed like a wanderer, a wry, twisted smile on his lips.

"What an unexpected surprise," I said mimicking the way his lips were curled in distaste. "Come to offer your surrender?" I sneered, folding my arms across my chest as I gave him my back, still alert. "If that is not the case, then do what do I owe the pleasure of your dark company?"

I threw it over my shoulders again.

His lips quirked into that infuriating half-smile of his. He walked with a casual grace that did nothing to describe the danger he represented. "I thought it was time we had a chat physically you know. Outside the dream world, Alpha Ramsey."

"You want to join my pack?"

He chuckled softly again. "Not quite. I've come to offer a proposition."

"A proposition?" I echoed, narrowing my gaze. "From you?"

"Yes, from me," he replied, unbothered. He straightened and slipped his hands behind his back. "We need to have a chat first about mutual interests and mutual enemies."

"I wasn't aware we had any mutual interests," I replied coldly. "And as for enemies – I make my own decisions about who stands against me and people whom I want as enemies."

He chuckled and moved to stand beside me. Both of us now were facing the running stream. "Nathan is our mutual enemy," he said simply. "And I thought you'd like to know that I'm willing to help you defeat him. Consider it as offering my help."

I laughed. If I wasn't so bothered about a thousand things at once, I would have laughed harder than I did. "Help me? Why would I need help from my enemy? And what would that entail? More of your mind games and manipulations?"
