The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 45

45 A father’s plea … 

Ramsey 

I stood on the stage of the council hall , watching as Pack elders , Alphas and Lycans filed out .

Most of them were still engaged in conversations , talking and laughing as they left the hall .

I had just finished a brief with them regarding the Annual Moon Goddess Worshipping Ceremony which was only a few weeks away .

of I hated everything about these annual ceremonies .

Not only was it the death anniversary my parents but they were unnecessary and a total waste of time and money but it was one of the stupid traditions that we cannot write off .

Every year , we would send delegates to the country 

ting for that year but this year , we are hosting .

Because of how intense the celebration used to be ; preparations are paramount .

Every decision made has to be carefully calculated to ensure the safety of the packs that will be coming to our country for the celebration .

Especially with the looming threat of the Ferals although it’s been weeks since we last saw them , still we have to be more careful .

My grandfather still lingered nearby engaged in a hushed conversation with Elder Thorne – Cassidy’s father .

I waited until the hall emptied , before I finally exhaled , allowing myself at moment to relax .

That was when I noticed two figures at the back of the hall approaching me .

It was Alpha Logan and his Beta , Jeremy Tanner .

“ Ramsey , my grandfather’s voice cut through the silence .

“ A word before I go ? ” 

I nodded , crossing the room the room to join him and Elder Thorne .

“ Alpha ! ” Elder Thorne nodded to me when I went closer .

I acknowledged his greeting with a curt nod before turning to my grandfather .

“ I and Lycan Thorne were just talking about the delayed Joining Ceremony between you and your Luna Cassidy .

We think two years is a long time to wait and the pack … ” 

“ I told you , Grandpa ! ” I interrupted him before he could finish his sentence “ That conversation is between me and Cassidy .

Whether or not we want to start making babies is our business .

I did what you wanted .

We’re engaged now and everyone knows she’s my Luna even if it’s not official .

So , can you stop being in our business ?” 

“ We’re not being in your business , Alpha ,” Elder Thorne sighed “ An heir is important and … ” 

“ I don’t want to continue this conversation , I interrupted him taking a step back , a cold smile on my face .

“ It’s barely two weeks since our engagement and everyone is concerned about what we do in our bedroom .

It’s none of your business .

” 

My grandfather tried to speak but I gave him a stern look .

“ This conversation is over , Grandpa .

I’ll leave first .

I turned and walked away from both men , towards the door .

Alpha Logan and his Beta scrambled up to me when I reached the exit .

“ Alpha ! ” they said tentatively .

A father’s plon … 

“ Walk with me ! I called out curtly without stopping .

A few minutes later , we were in the garden and I turned to face both men , staring at them .

curiously .

“ I got your message , Alpha Logan , you wanted to see me ? ” 

He nodded and approached me cautiously .

“ Yes , Alpha .

We … It’s about Nathan .

” 

My jaw tightened .

I’d been expecting this .

“ What about him ? ” I shrugged staring at both men .

“ It’s been weeks , Alpha , Logan sighed .

“ He’s the Alpha Heir , keeping him locked up just because he refused to tell you the location of my daughter is absurd .

The Ferals are no longer a threat , so you don’t need her .

Besides , he might have been lying .

Both of them have been friends since childhood .

He’s done nothing wrong .

” 

My expression didn’t change .

“ He confessed that he knows where Lyla is , Alpha Logan and he told me to my face that he won’t let me know .

He’s trying to be a hero and I won’t stop him from being one .

” 

Logan exhaled sharply , I could tell he was annoyed and was struggling terribly to control it .

“ You cannot do this , if word gets out that an Alpha Heir is being held in prison because of random information as this , you think the Alpha Council will take it lying down ? ” 

“ Are you threatening me , Alpha Logan ? ” I scoffed .

He clenched his jaw , taking another step forward .

“ He’s just trying to protect his friend .

You can’t hold him forever because you think he knows something .

What you’re doing is wrong ? You’re using your power and the authority of your office wrongly .

” 

“ At least , I care enough for you deviant daughter ? How about you , Alpha Logan ? Why aren’t you .

worried about her ? Hell ! You should be more concerned that she cannot be reached .

Or perhaps you know something and you don’t want to speak , ” I fired back .

“ I am worried ! ” he said through gritted teeth .

“ Lyla is my daughter of course and like every other father I am , but your blind devotion to replaceing her is clouding your judgment , Alpha Ramsey .

I don’t understand your obsession with hunting her down like some … ” 

Before he could finish , I cut him off sharply.

“ You should be grateful it isn’t you in his place , 

Logan , ” My voice was cold .

“ Until Nathan tells me where she is , he’ll remain here and I mean every word of it .

You can report me to the Alpha council or the White Mountain council , you’ll see that I am not wrong and Nathan is the culprit .

I am simply doing my duties .

” 

Alpha Logan’s face darkened .

“ Your duty is to your people and not this .

You’re crossing a line , meddling in my family’s business .

You can’t just … ” 

“ Don’t forget your place , Logan ! ” I growled cutting him short again .

“ I’m the Lycan Leader here and not you ! ” 

He flinched and dropped his gaze before looking up at me again .

“ I apologize Lycan Leader but this … this has gone too far .

Just as I was about to respond , Beta Jeremy – Nathan’s father who had remained quiet until now , 

came forward 

45 A father’s plea … 

“ I found something , ” he said breaking the silence .

From his coat pocket , he pulled out a sleek smartphone and handed it to me .

“ Nathan’s phone .

I found it a few days ago while cleaning up his things .

I’m sure there’s something in there maybe in their conversation that could help you replace Lyla .

” 

– 

Alpha Logan’s turned sharply to his Beta , his eyes wide with disbelief and outrage .

“ Jeremy , the hell are you doing ? ” 

what 

The Beta turned to face Logan , his expression hardening .

“ I’m doing what’s necessary to protect my son ,” he said firmly .

“ If you’re not willing to , then I am .

” 

After a curt bow to me , Jeremy turned on his heels and left the garden , leaving me and Logan behind .

Logan stood there , his fists clenched at his sides , he looked exasperated .

Just as he was about to leave as well , I called out to him from behind .

“ Alpha Logan ! ” 

He paused , turning slowly .

“ Yes , Lycan Leader , he muttered , irritation in his tone .

“ Are you going to tell me the truth now ? You know where she is right ? You’ve always known .

Just tell me , I am not going to harm her .

I simply want to bring her back to her home .

This is her home .

She belongs here and not with those savage humans .

” 

He hesitated for a fraction of a second , but then he shrugged , his features hardening .

“ I don’t .

” 

“ Then why are you annoyed that your Beta may have given me a clue to where she is ? You gave me the impression that you do not care for her ?” 

“ I don’t ! ” he said coldly .

“ You can do whatever it is that you wish , Alpha .

” 

I studied him intently , searching his blank eyes .

“ Then tell me about this Omega she’s staying with .

Bring any information you have on her and I’ll use that to replace her .

” 

His face flushed with anger .

When he spoke , his pitch was slightly higher than normal .

“ I’ll ask again , Alpha Ramsey and with all due respect , What is your obsession with my daughter ? What has Lyla done to you ? Why are you so hell – bent on capturing her ? ” 

“ Because she’s our mate ! ” Lax howled inside me .

But I couldn’t say that .

My lips pressed into a thin line , my fists clenched at my sides .

But before I could respond , a small rustle nearby caught my attention .

Cassidy came into view , her eyes rounding with surprise when she saw us .

“ Oh ! I’m sorry , I was taking a stroll .

Am I interrupting something ? ” she asked , her eyes darting between us .

“ No ! ” I replied , turning to smile at her .

“ We were just finishing .

” 

Alpha Logan straightened giving me a curt bow before turning to leave .

When he was gone , Cassidy came closer to me , staring at me curiously .

“ Who was that ? What was that about ? You looked like you were arguing .

Isn’t he an Alpha ? Why would he … ” 

“ Just pack business ! ” I stopped her midsentence , shaking her arms off me .

“ Nothing for you to worry about .

” 

45 A father’s plea … 

Remembering I had a meeting now with the security department , I thrust Nathan’s phone into Cassidy’s hand .

“ Drop this in my room , will you ? ” 

“ Whose phone is this ? ” she asked , staring at the phone suspiciously .

“ Nothing for you to worry about , I said urgently .

“ I have to go , see you later ! ” 

That was a stupid mistake … 

For it’ll take 24 full moons before I see Lyla again … 24 full moons of listening to Lax nag me to death about her , 24 full moons of feeling empty , edgy and irritable for no reason and 24 full moons of putting up with a woman I could never love .

The same woman who deleted all the contents on Nathan’s phone and severed my link to ever replaceing Lyla !
