The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 100

100 Lavender and rain … 

Ramsey 

The moment I saw Lyla standing at the entrance of the funeral hall that morning , it had taken every ounce of self – control not to reach for her and for once … I was grateful for the bourgeois nature of the ceremonial Lycan Leader attire I was wearing as it helped to cover my erection .

The frightened , wide – eyed girl from four years ago had transformed into a woman with perky but full presses that were outlined on the mourning dress she had on .

Her once narrow hips had widened , framing a perfect butt , that made me envision riding her from back and slapping those cheeks .

And gods … her neck ! Slender , graceful … reminded me of the way she had arched it ; the day I had marked her in the garden .

Lax , was practically howling at the sight of her , urging me to claim what was rightfully ours to hold her , kiss her and mark her as our mate once more .

But I couldn’t .

Not with the entire Werewolves and Lycans watching .

Not with Cassidy clinging possessively to my arm like a serpent waiting to strike .

I had barely registered the other guests milling about .

My eyes were glued to Lyla .

Every movement , every glance , she cast toward the ground or at the visitors accepting their condolences triggered a memory in me too .

This had been me , 19 years ago at White Moon Pack receiving condolences when I had lost my parents .

I was 8 years old at that time .

I could see the pain behind her eyes as she smiled at each guest , making me wonder if she missed her father .

The years had sharpened her beauty and had added an allure I couldn’t 

ignore .

She was no longer the fragile Lyla I’d once known ; she was a woman now … a woman I’ve missed terribly .

I tried to stay composed as I walked toward her , Cassidy beside me .

But when she finally looked up .

and our gazes locked , I felt an uncontrollable urge to reach for her , bring her closer , and erase the years that had kept us apart .

Lax was going around in wild circles now that we were close enough to her .

He was clawing at my insides , demanding to break through and claim his mate .

But I managed to hold her hand , nodding in her direction and thankfully , I said their first words that popped into my head before moving to her mother .

I moved away from her quickly , a minute more , I would be tearing through those layers of clothes and sticking myself deep into her .

Lax was furious and was already snarling at me , urging me to throw caution to the wind , to take Lyla in my arms .

“ Not here ! I reminded him .

“ Not with Cassidy standing beside us , her presence is a constant reminder of the complication we would face if I go out of character .

” 

Now with her sitting next to me and our thighs rubbing … I was struggling .

Holding onto the last shred of my sanity … reminding myself that everyone in this room today was looking up to me .

When she went on stone .

Tuatebød her ofronder .

My heart twister nainfully at the eight of her 

100 Lavender and rain .

standing there , paper in hand deciding if to perform her duties as her father’s daughter or let go completely .

“ My father … ” She started , her voice trembling with emotion .

I could see how difficult this was for her- trying to paint a perfect picture of her father when the only memories she had were filled with rejection and isolation .

I’d learned the truth about her through Lenny .

How they had deserted her and treated her like an outcast .

Learnt about all the whispers , the sideways glances , the barely concealed disgust – all because she was different .

Because she hadn’t shifted .

Because she wasn’t what they expected her to be .

When she could no longer pretend and fled the hall , I instinctively rose to my feet to go after her but before I could rise properly , Cassidy’s hand rested on my arm , pulling me back to the chair with surprising strength with her perfectly manicured nails digging into my flesh .

“ Where do you think you’re going ? ” she hissed , loud enough for only me to hear .

I didn’t bother replying , my eyes were fixed in the direction I had seen Lyla run to .

“ Don’t tell me you were actually going to chase after that deviant if I hadn’t stopped you ? ” She asked with disbelief in her voice .

“ Have you forgotten where you are ? Who you are ? Your position as the Lycan Leader … all the people here are your subjects … is this the way you want to show yourself to them ? ” 

“ I’m sure my people would understand that I just as ordinary as they are .

I only want to talk to her , I replied .

“ Why ? ” she fired “ I won’t let you do this to me , Ramsey .

If you move an inch from your seat , I 

will … ” 

I didn’t wait to hear the rest .

I wrenched my arm from her grip and rose to my feet .

Lax leading me now .

He was tired of pretending to be fine .

He needed his mate .

As 1 strode out of the hall , I ignored the whisperes from the people that followed in my wake .

Nathan had taken control of the stage and was saying few words about Alpha Logan and I could feel Cassidy’s furious gaze boring into my back .

Let her watch , I didn’t care .

Four years of separation had done nothing to diminish the bond I still felt for her .

If anything , seeing her again only strengthened it , pulling me tighter to her than ever .

The note I had slipped into her hand carlier suddenly felt like it would do nothing to convey my feelings – there were so many things I needed to tell h 

With each step , Lax’s agitation grew as memories of the first time I met Lyla pushed into my mind .

The way she had managed a smile at me , the way her eyes had lit up when she laughter , the feel of her in my arms and the taste of her kiss .

1 finally came out of the hall and immediately caught her scent – lavender and rain … only Lyla 

had that scent .
