The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 359: The first day of forever...

Lyla

I woke to golden rays of the sun streaming through the tall windows, painting warm patterns across the silk sheets. For a moment, I lay still, savouring the peace of the early morning and the unfamiliar comfort of the room. Everything felt different—the room, the bed, even the way the light fell across my skin.

Then I remembered. I was married. I was Luna Lyla Woodland Kincaid now.

A smile spread across my face as the memories of yesterday flooded back—the ceremony, the vows, the way Ramsey had looked at me like I was the most precious thing in his world and the sweetness of the intimacy we shared last night.

I clamped my leg, groaning with satisfaction as the memories flitted into my mind, pooling at my lower abdomen. Lovemaking feels different when you’re married.

My hand instinctively moved to my stomach, where our twins were growing safely inside me.

I turned to look at my husband, expecting to find him still sleeping beside me, but the space next to me was empty. The sheets were cool to the touch, suggesting he’d been up for a while. A pang of disappointment shot through me—I’d been looking forward to waking up in his arms on our first morning as a married couple.

Then I heard it—the soft sound of movement from somewhere in the room. I sat up, pulling the silk sheet around me, and spotted Ramsey standing by the windows. He was already dressed in dark jeans and a white button-down shirt, though the shirt hung open and unbuttoned. His hair was slightly mussed, and he held a steaming cup of coffee in his hands.

"Good morning, Luna Kincaid," he said softly when he noticed I was awake. His voice was warm with affection and something that sounded almost like wonder.

"Good morning, Alpha Kincaid," I replied, my heart skipping at the sound of my new name. "How long have you been up?"

"About an hour." He set his coffee cup on the windowsill and came to sit on the edge of the bed beside me. "I couldn’t sleep anymore. Too much nervous energy, I think."

I reached out to touch his face, running my fingers along his jaw. "No regrets?"

"None," he said immediately, turning his head to press a kiss to my palm. "Only gratitude that somehow I got lucky enough to marry the most incredible woman in the world."

I felt my cheeks warm with pleasure. "Flatterer."

"Truth-teller," he corrected, leaning down to kiss me softly. "How are you feeling? How are they feeling?" His hand moved to rest gently on my stomach.

"We’re all perfect," I assured him. "Though I’m starting to get hungry. Is that normal this early?"

Ramsey’s smile was brilliant. "I think when you’re growing two babies, you’re allowed to be hungry whenever you want." He stood up and walked toward what I now realised was a small sitting area I hadn’t noticed the night before. "Which is why I had the kitchen send up breakfast.
