The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 354: When love becomes weaponized.

Ramsey’s arms tightened around me as he turned to face him. "Xander, it’s surprising to see you here."

"You’re smarter than Rian, I agree. I’m still having a hard time believing that you would set yourself and your people up to lure me in and gather information. I’m impressed, you managed to rid me of my armies, and yet you want to take her from me again? Remember what happened the last time you tried?"

Ramsey arched a brow at him. "What do you mean?

"Rian, the first Lycan Leader from White Moon Throne, whom Neriah was promised to do, I killed him and Thames, Neriah’s real mate, whom you stole. I killed both Rian and Thames. I made them fight each other. I wouldn’t want to do that to you."

"I am not any of them, Xander and whatever residue from your past, I hope you can drop them and realise, we’re in the future. I wouldn’t want to fast forward your death.

Xander laughed. "My death? Oh, Ramsey, you always were so limited in your thinking. Death is merely another form of evolution for those who are smart enough to embrace it. I have died so many times that I have lost count. If dying is my fate, then I don’t want it."

"Is that what you call murdering innocent people?" Ramsey shot back, his voice heavy with disgust. "Evolution?"

"I call it necessity," Xander replied smoothly. "The weak serve the strong. It’s the natural order. I am strong, and I will ensure that your race is wiped from history. Your father’s before you killed my sister. I gave my service to the Lycans, and my reward? Taking away the only family I have."

While they were still talking, I caught movement in my peripheral vision.

Behind Xander, barely visible through the lingering smoke, Nanny was moving. She pressed herself low against the ground, using the debris from the explosion as cover. Her movements were painfully slow but deliberate—every step calculated to avoid making even the slightest sound.

I had to keep Xander’s attention focused on us.

"Can you stop living in the past. You cannot come after a generation because of the sins of their fathers?"

"You have no idea what I had to go through, Lyla. Neriah was going to be mine. We had everything, instant connection..."
