The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 128

128 Ramsey is not the prize ! 

Lyla 

The number was Cassidy’s .

I watched the phone ring until the call ended and went back to my reading .

The phone rang for the second time and my thumb hovered over the screen as a wave of unease settled over me .

Finally , I took a deep breath and accepted the call .

“ Hello ? ” 

“ I was wondering if you’d pick up .

” She said without bothering to return my greeting .

I gritted my teeth .

“ What do you want Cassidy ? If you have something to say , get to the point .

” 

She huffed in disbelief .

“ Two days ,” she shouted , “ I sent you that address two days ago , waited for you and you didn’t even bother to show up ? ” 

I leaned back in my chair , a wry smile playing on my lips .

“ Oh , I was busy … still busy .

You could have 

checked if I was free before sending me random addresses , you know .

” 

128 Ramsey is not the prize ! 

The line went quiet for a moment until Cassidy’s voice came up again .

She sounded frustrated .

“ Where are you now ? ” she snapped .

“ The library , ” I responded .

“ What do you want , Cassidy ? ” 

The line went dead .

I stared at my phone for a moment , before shrugging and returning to the book I was reading .

An hour later , my phone buzzed again .

Cassidy’s 

number flashed across the screen .

“ Yes ? ” 

“ I’m at the café across from the library , ” she 

announced .

Come meet me .

” 

“ No , thank you , I’d rather not .

I’m too busy to step out ,” I replied without closing my book .

“ I really am at the café .

I can see the library from here ,” Cassidy insisted “ And I won’t take your time .

Just a few minutes , hmm ? ”

“ I can’t , Cassidy .

I don’t like you too much to inconvenience myself .

I have no plans to leave this position until much later .

So I’m sorry my dear but

128 Ramsey is not the prize ! 

No … ” 

I hung up without waiting for another explanation 

from her .

Minutes later , a shadow fell across me , when I looked 

up , I saw Cassidy standing in front of me , her brows drawn in disdain but she managed a smile as soon as 

our gaze met .

“ I came here to get you myself .

If you do not cooperate and come out with me , I’m , going to make a scene .

” 

I laughed , leaning back on my chair .

“ Go ahead , my dear , I’m sure people won’t mind seeing that you’re not as scary as you try to make yourself seem.

Live a little , I’ll be here cheering for you .

“ Don’t make this more difficult than it already is .

Just come out with me .

” 

“ Ask nicely , Cassidy Thorne .

I’m not your little maids at home … ” 

She rolled her eyes and took a deep breath before 

turning to me again .

“ Please Lyla , would you be kind 

enough to share a cup of coffee with me ? The weather 

seems nice for it .

” 

17:59 

128 Ramsey is not the prize ! 

I studied her for a few minutes , looked at the books spread before me , and then back at her smiling expression .

Sighing , I began gathering my things .

Sometimes it was easier to give in than to resist the force of nature that was Cassidy .

Knowing who she is , she won’t let me rest until she gets what she wants .

I followed her out of the library and some minutes later , we were sitting , facing each other in the coffee shop .

I took a sip from my iced coffee giving her a pointed stare .

“ Why am I here ? ” 

“ I have something to show you and to tell you ,” she said happily .

Reaching for the bag near the foot of the table , she pulled out a blue box with a pink ribbon adorning the cover which she placed on the table and slid it towards .

me .

“ Open it, ” she said , practically vibrating with excitement .

I stared at the box arching my brow at her .

“ What is 

this ? ” 

17:59 

128 Ramsey is not the prize ! 

“ It’s right in front of you , open it ,” she said again , flashing me a smile that seemed genuine .

My experience with Xander made me never take anyone at face value .

I leaned back in my chair , studying the box as though it might explode .

“ Why don’t you tell me what’s inside instead ?” 

She rolled her eyes , muttering something under her breath before she pulled the box closer and pulled off the lid .

Then she turned the box towards me , revealing a luxurious wedding invitation adorned with gold accents and elegant calligraphy .

I arched my brow higher waiting for an explanation .

“ Ramsey has agreed to a modern wedding ! We would have this after the Moon Priest and Priestess join us of course .

This would be like a pre – reception , just like the humans do it .

Isn’t it fabulous ? ” she clapped her hands with glee .

“ And guess what ? I want you to be my veil lady .

” 

My lips twitched as I fought back laughter .

“ Your veil lady ? That’s quite the honour , Cassidy but I’m trying to remember since when we became close .

We only attended training school for two years where you

made every single second of my life a living hell .

You would team up with those other Lycan daughters to bully me every day .

Or is it recording an intimate video of me and posting it for everyone to see … we’re not close , Cassidy … why am I getting an invitation ? ” 

“ Don’t hold grudges , Lyla and you’d agree with me that you always had an ego bigger than you , so it was just me trying to clip it for you and as for the video , Ramsey made me angry , just wanted to teach him a few lessons .

Seems like I didn’t succeed .

” 

I chuckled dryly .

“ Anyways , I’m afraid I’ll have to decline .

I have no intention of attending your joining ceremony or wedding , much less being your veil lady .

” 

Cassidy’s smile faltered , then transformed into 

something that looked almost like pity as she leaned forward .

“ Oh , sweetie , is it because you can’t stand seeing your mate marry another woman ? ” 

Your mate who was ready to reject you if I had said yes to him a few days ago .

I thought in my head but my smirk deepened as I replied .

“ My former mate .

And no , that’s not it .

” 

She reached into her designer bag and pulled out a

small glass vial filled with a shimmering liquid which she placed on the table with a dramatic flourish .

“ Everyone who’s ever been rejected by their mates swear by this .

It’s quite pricey , so , it’s worth every price .

It’ll help soothe your broken heart that day .

Don’t worry , Lyla .

You’ll replace a mate soon enough .

” 

I chuckled , shaking my head as I rose to my feet , looking down at Cassidy and her offerings.

“ The only reason I don’t want to come is because I am worried Ramsey might leave you standing at the altar looking like a fool when he comes running after me .

” 

Her face went slack with shock but I continued , 

unfazed .

“ Don’t get me wrong , ” I added with a smile .

“ I’m so happy for you .

I love that you’re finally taking him off my hands so I won’t have to deal with his pleas and all the messages he sends via his Beta .

Anyways , good luck with everything .

” 

As I turned to go , she grabbed my hand , rising to face me , easily towering over me .

She was a Lycan after all .

Her face which had smile a while ago , was now twisted into anger .

“ I’m warning you Lyla .

” she said quietly 

37:60 

P 

128 Ramsey is not the prize ! 

“ Don’t do anything to try to come in between me and Ramsey’s marriage .

I’ll not sit back this time around and consider the video a warning .

” 

“ It is you who I should warn , ” I pressed closer “ Don’t call me for such stupid things .

What were you expecting ? A clap from me to say well done ? You think Ramsey is the prize and winning him means anything 

to me ? If you want validation so much , you should 

make a merch that says ‘ Snatched him from his mate ‘ That would be a better idea than disrupting my perfect 

afternoon to act like a ten – year – old .

” 

I took a step back , hissing .

can’t believe I actually 

came .

” 

I started to leave , then remembered something .

I came back to where she stood , pulled out a few wads of money from my purse and threw it at her face .

“ Since I can’t make it to the wedding , consider this an early wedding gift and the next time you try to destroy my image in any way , I’ll take him off your hands and make you suffer for it .

Bye now ! ” 

I flashed her a smile and spun on my heels , walking … hurrying out of the café … more like .
