The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 26

26 Mate bonds … 

RamseyR 

A week later , 

I lay on the Healer’s table , drenched in sweat , my body shaking uncontrollably as I writhed in agony .

My skin burned as if it had been set on fire from the inside out .

My muscles clenched painfully and every joint felt like it had been ripped apart .

I groaned , suppressing the urge to cry out … if it was 

⚫ with Lyla ? I this terrible for me , then how would * had thought rejecting her would be the end of the whole charade .

But the pain keeps getting worse every day making me realize the mate bond was more than an old wive’s tale that I could shrug off .

I clutched at my chest , hoping the pain in my chest .

would stop , but it didn’t .

“ You’re bad shape , Alpha , ” the healer muttered , “ I’ve never seen something like this .

Can you remember if you had anything … ” he trailed off .

Since this week , I’ve made several trips to the Healer

quarters and was secretly getting treated but I was also ashamed to admit it might be due to me rejecting my mate .

I’d rather suffer in silence than let anyone know it was because of that .

“ Just give me something for the pain ! ” I breathed clutching the side of the bed , as my breath came in ragged gasps .

The healer nodded and puttered for a minute with a lot of dark liquid before he brought one to me .

“ Alpha , please drink this ,” He said .

His voice sounded distant but I wmyself to collect the potion he was offering me and owned the bitter liquid in one big gulp .

I waited for a few minutes and the agony subsided .

When I opened my eyes , I saw the healer staring at me , with a worried expression .

“ We need to replace the root cause , Alpha .

Your body is beginning to reject all treatments .

I don’t know what this is .

Do you have any idea … ” 

“ Thank you ! ” I murmured pushing myself down from the examination table .

“ I think this last potion is more effective than the rest .

I’ll be fine in a few days .

I’m sure .

Just keep increasing the dosage or whatever .

” 

26 Mate bonds … 

With that , I stumbled out of the healer’s chamber .

The walk back to the pack house felt like an eternity and it didn’t help that Lax had been quiet for a while now .

Since the day Lyla had left the pack , he had stopped responding to my calls .

He was there , alright , I could feel him but he had his back to me .

Maybe if he were here , I wouldn’t be putting up with this level of intensity of pain that I was feeling .

But I knew he was trying to punish me and I didn’t have the energy to deal with him now 

My mind wandered to Lyla – ag missed her , missed her scent , h 

It always did .

I presence .

Every time 

I closed my eyes , she was there in my mind : her soft , sad eyes , the way her lips quivered when she spoke .

I hadn’t loved her , at least not consciously .

I had pushed her away , rejected her but I was doing the right thing .

Sooner or later , everyone would come to appreciate my sacrifice .

As I arrived at the pack house , I met Seth at the door .

His eyes flickered up and down my form , I knew he wanted to say something – had been dying to say something but something kept holding him back .

“ Speak already , Seth , ” I mumbled “ Your silence is louder .

” 

“ I don’t know what excuse to give to Miss Cassidy again , Alpha ! ” he sighed “ This is the 7th time today she came looking for you .

Even your grandfather .

” 

I patted his back and walked past him .

“ There are thousands of excuses to give , Seth , you just need to let your creative juice flow .

I cannot meet anyone in this condition and you know that .

I’ll be fine by tomorrow , tops .

Just look for something else to tell them .

” 

He stared at me for a seconda 

flicker through his eyes .

thought I saw fear 

“ I know it’s none of my business , Alpha but I could send some soldiers to Blue Ridge pack for Miss Woodland .

You’ll be better if she’s here .

” 

“ I know ! ” I chuckled sadly “ Do you know how many times , I’ve contemplated driving there myself but I cannot keep using her when I don’t want her ? It’s enough that she thinks of me as a monster … ” 

“ You’re not a monster , Alpha ! ” he hushed me “ But sharing your burden can help the people you love understand you .

Perhaps , if you had made her see

reason in a good way ,” he added .

“ I’m sure she would have stayed and you wouldn’t have to put up with this .

” 

“ Yeah ! ” I said flatly walking to my room .

“ The pack healer said my body is beginning to reject the potions .

Do you have any idea what that means ? ” 

His eyes glazed in deep thoughts for a second before he shook his head .

“ It’s strange that you’re going through this Alpha .

Usually mate bond rejection hurts but it doesn’t give you a fever .

I’ve never heard of it in all the years of my living .

I think something must have happened to her .

Can Lax feel r mate mark ? ” 

“ He’s not talking to me , Seth ! ” I sighed reaching for the door of my bedroom .

“ And no more talks about Lyla … We cannot be together and I will overcome it .

Lenny is coming over later , let him straight to my room , okay ? ” 

He nodded .

As I opened the door to go inside , he stopped me again , giving me a box .

“ What’s that ? ” I asked .

“ It’s Miss Lyla’s I presume .

The maids found it while cleaning her room .

Maybe it might help you or should I have it sent to her pack ? ”

I took the box from him and opened it .

Lax stirred within me as soon as her scent wafted up to my nose .

It was her scarf in the box .

I closed the box , feeling nostalgic suddenly .

I handed the box back to Seth , shaking my head .

“ Send it to her , Seth .

I don’t deserve to … ”

“ I’ll leave it with you and send it back tomorrow , ” he replied , thrusting the box back to me and leaving .

As soon as I entered my room , I hurriedly removed the scarf from the box , holding it to my nose , inhaling her 

scent .

.

Lax stirred within me and I felt the pain from the fever slowly easing .

Her scent was so strong , that I got lost in it and didn’t hear the door creak open .

“ Seriously ? ” came Lenny’s voice .

He was standing in my room , hands on his hips , glaring at me .

My head snapped up , the grip on the scarf tightening for a split second before I carefully folded it and placed it back into the box on my bed .

My jaw 

clenched in annoyance as I turned to Lenny .

“ Does that belong to who I think it is ? ” he asked with a smirk playing on his lips .

.

My expression darkened as I narrowed my eyes at him , putting the box away .

Lenny plopped down into the chair opposite me , 

shaking his head .

“ I’m just relieved it wasn’t her undies .

Still , ” he added casting a glance at the box .

“ It’s pretty weird .

” 

“ You’re the one who’s weird for barging into my room without knocking .

“ What are you doing here by the way ? ” 

“ I’ve got the report from this week’s patrol but first are you okay ? You don’t look go 

“ I waved him off .

“ I’m fine , ” I lied “ Tell me the reports .

” 

Lenny pulled out a small tablet and scrolled through it .

“ The Feral that appeared some weeks ago – they’ve disappeared .

There’s been no sighting , no activity since this week .

It’s like they vanished into thin air .

” 

I blinked .

“ What ? ” 

“ Yes Alpha , ” Lenny nodded “ I replace it very strange but I think it’s very odd that they left just like that .

I’ve poured through books , trying to justify their actions but it still doesn’t make sense .

“ What do you mean ? ” 

“ They showed up , attacked only warriors who tried to attack them , basically stayed in the pack doing nothing but then , why did they attack Lyla that day in the forest ? I mean , she’s wolfless and harmless and I know she wouldn’t have tried picking a fight with them .

She’s the only Feral victim we have except the warriors that we attacked and Omegas when they first arrived .

” 

“ Come to think of it , they appeared only at the White Mountain region .

Did any of the Alphas report seeing them around their packs ? ” 

“ No ! ” Lenny shook his head .

“ It is as if something was drawing them to the White Mountains don’t you think ? And while I was on it , I did some digging on Lyla … ” 

I stiffened at the mention of her name .

“ Why do you think I would be interested in her ? Is it because of what happened that day ? ” 

“ Far from it , Alpha ! ” Lenny shook his head .

“ Many people in her pack hate her , ” he continued .

“ She’s wolfless and a deviant and because of her monthly pheromones , her father drove her out of the pack to

live in the human world .

” 

My chest tightened as I remembered the letter her father had sent to me the other time .

“ But it doesn’t make sense to me , Alpha .

She’s an Alpha daughter , pure – blooded .

How could she be wolfless ? Why did the Ferals attack just her ? Was it because of your mark on her neck ? ” Lenny said thoughtfully .
