The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 320: Siege

The door burst open suddenly as Caius rushed in. Though his face remained carefully blank, I knew immediately that something was wrong. He approached Ramsey directly, bending to whisper in his ear.

I watched Ramsey's expression, searching for any reaction, but he maintained perfect control. He nodded once before Caius straightened and left the room as quickly as he'd arrived.

"What was that about?" I asked, concerned.

"It's fine," Ramsey replied, suddenly gathering the maps on the table and forgetting about the tears he had seen in my eyes.. "It's nothing to worry about. I'll take care of it."

"Ramsey—"

"You need rest," he said, cutting me off gently. "Let me take you back to the pack house."

"Don't do that with me, Ramsey," I said with a deep sigh. "I know Caius didn't come bearing good news. Just tell me what the problem is, I swear, I won't act on my own volition. I need to know."

"Baby," he said quietly, looking into my eyes directly. "It's nothing to worry about, I promise."

I wanted to press further, but exhaustion was catching up with me. My chest wound throbbed dully despite Terra's healing, and the news of my pregnancy had left me emotionally drained.

When we stepped into the corridor, Nanny rose from the chair she had been sitting in, clearly waiting for us. She came to me immediately, glancing from me to Ramsey. I know in her head, she must be wondering why Ramsey wasn't dancing with joy because of the baby news.

I didn't know what excuse I would give her regarding that. Nanny didn't know about the sacrifice yet. If she knows, my days of freedom would be over. Unlike Ramsey, who might deal gently with me and not force his ideas on me, Nanny didn't care about my stance. She will do what she wants if she thinks it will protect me.

"I'll help her back," Nanny offered, reaching for my arm.

"No need," Ramsey said, with a polite but firm tone. "I'll take her myself."

Nanny hesitated, then nodded, shooting me a questioning look. I gave her a slight shrug in response, also glad that I won't be getting questioned by her anytime soon.

Ramsey slid his arm around my waist, his other hand taking mine. He held me close but carefully, mindful of my injury, his body providing warmth and support as we walked. The simple contact calmed me despite my concern over the secret message.
