The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 64

64 The turn … 

Ramsey 

Two years later .

1 

The Pack Hospital’s light shone brightly on me where I sat motionless in the reception area , my legs spread out in front of me , staring blankly at the floor .

My clothes were stained with blood , and dark red streaks that had long since dried but still smelled fresh in the air around me .

My fingers wrapped tightly around a necklace which I clutched like a lifeline its pendant warming against my palm , a stark difference to the cold that had settled in my chest .

Around me , Pack Doctors and Nurses including Healers rushed in and out of the operating rooms , their faces tensed with fear … I couldn’t blame them , they had two lives to save .

Two operations were happening at the same time .

Two lives hanging by a thread .

Alpha Logan , Alpha of the Blue Ridge Pack was in one of the rooms fighting for his life .

And in the other room , my grandfather , Elder Eldric , was the only family I had left .

When I held him in my arms after the attack , I thought he was dead .

He’d been motionless , with blood gushing out from one side of his throat .

I grew up with my grandfather , we didn’t agree on a lot of things but I love him .

He was the man who shaped me into whom I am today .

He had swallowed his pain and fought hard after losing his mate , so I wouldn’t be alone anymore .

He was the same man who pushed me out of the way , hours ago , and had taken the Feral’s bite it should be me on that operating table and not him .

We were on our way back from the Annual Moon Goddess Worshipping Ceremony at Golden Moon Pack and were just outside the borders of the White Moon Mountain region when a dozen Feral Wolves suddenly sprung out from the forest and attacked .

They had easily overpowered the hundred warriors that had gone with us , and injured three Alphas renowned for their fighting skills , including Alpha Logan who was a top – skilled Alpha 

Warrior .

I had watched as the warriors dropped dead , how six elders , have been killed with such swiftness that I didn’t see .

I had almost died , too , if my grandfather had not pushed me out of the way and taken the bite for me .

Alpha Logan had jumped in to save him from the Ferals and had equally been defeated .

The Ferals , after that , didn’t attack me … they all regrouped , and stared at me for a few minutes before they headed back to the bushes from where they had emerged .

I glanced up briefly , my gaze drifting to Alpha Logan’s wife , Luna Vanessa and her daughter , Clarissa .

They sat huddled at one corner of the reception , their eyes red and swollen , tears streaming silently down their faces .

The loss of a mate was not the worst thing that can happen to anyone – it is being helpless .

Sitting there not knowing what to do hour to help and if your mate would ever make it back

alive .

I watched as they clutched each other as if they were the only thing keeping each other from shattering completely .

My heart clenched at the sight – I had failed them .

I had failed to protect the people who served me .

“ Alpha Ramsey ,” Lenny hovered nearby , his face full of concern .

“ You need to go home and get cleaned up .

You can’t stay here like this , if the people see you in this state , they’ll worry .

It’s already enough that the entire country is in fear … this will not help , ” he said softly .

Trying for the third time to get me to leave .

“ I’ll stay here and tell you as soon as they finish with the operation , he added .

“ It’s easy to console me , Lenny when you’re not in my shoes ,” I said quietly .

“ I have failed .

everyone … a hundred warriors killed , six elders dead and three Alphas wounded .

Alpha Logan is barely alive and if anything should happen to him … they will never forgive me .

This is my fault .

” “ It is not , Alpha ! ” Lenny sighed drawing closer to me .

“ No one had anticipated the Ferals .

The last time we saw one was four years ago .

” 

“ We were supposed to return a day after , Lenny .

Do you think maybe that would have made the difference ? From all the other packs who travelled two days after the ceremony , they all arrived at their packs safely .

I have made a lot of children fatherless , Lenny … ” I sighed .

“ So , I cannot leave .

“ Just clean up and offer a word of comfort to the bereaved – the families of the warriors who died .

It could go a long way .

“ And who will comfort me , Lenny ! ” I raised my head to look at him .

“ I too , I’m hurting … let’s just hurt today … or at least until I know that my grandfather and Alpha Logan are fine , then maybe , I’ll be able to offer comfort .

” 

Despite Lenny’s insistence that I should go , I ignored him .

I hadn’t moved in hours and had no intention of leaving now .

My muscles were stiff from sitting for so long but I barely felt the discomfort .

I couldn’t leave .

Not until I knew .

Not until they told me .

It was well past midnight when the doors to Alpha Logan’s operating room finally opened .

I rose to my feet for the first time , my heart pounding violently in my chest as the doctor walked out , his face was pale , his eyes were downcast and I knew from his expression before he even spoke .

seen that look too many times before .

“ I’m sorry , the pack doctor said quietly , his voice filled with regret .

“ Alpha Logan didn’t make it .

” Luna Vanessa’s cries filled the room as she collapsed to the ground in sobs , her daughter clinging to her .

I felt the grief wash over me but it didn’t settle .

It couldn’t .

My mind was too broken , my emotions were all over the place .

The pack doctor looked at me , pausing as if waiting for some response but I just nodded slowly .

There were no words I could offer that would matter now .

As if on cue , another pack doctor emerged from the second operating room .

There was a tired 

smile on his face .

“ Elder Eldric is stable ,” he informed me .

“ The surgery was successful though recovery will take time but he’s fine now .

” 

I nodded again – then without a word , I turned and walked out of the hospital into the cold night 

air .

The moment the doors closed behind me , I changed into my wolf and broke into a run .

I ran , pushing my body past its limits , trying to outpace the guilt that clawed at my heart .

The wind whipped against my fur , and the world around me blurred as my feet pounded against the 

earth .

burned .

It was 

I ran until the moon rose high in the sky and my muscles screamed and my morning when I finally started back to the pack house still clutching the necklace .

Waiting for me at the entrance of the pack house were several clders , including Elder Mira , all wearing sombre expressions .

She stepped forward , her face lined with sadness .

“ Alpha Ramsey ,” she began gently .

‘ We’re deeply sorry for what happened and we’re grateful to the Moon Goddess for preserving your grandfather .

“ And what did Alpha Logan do to her for her not to be merciful to him ? ” I retorted , glaring at her .

“ We understand that you’re still in shock but it’s hardly anyone’s fault .

Accidents like this happen all the time .

” 

“ Right ! ” I scoffed .

“ Starting from this moment , there’ll be no Annual Moon Goddess Worshipping Ceremony to start with .

When the council gathers , you’ll pass it into law.

We cannot keep spending resources over frivolitics like that .

” 

“ Alpha , I know you’re hurt but … ” 

“ State your business , Elder Mira ! ” I interrupted her .

“ I need to freshen up and carry on with 

duties .

my 

She drew in a deep breath and then sighed .

“ It’s about Blue Ridge Pack .

Now that they’ve lost their Alpha , they need a new one to prevent chaos and protect her pack members from those who would take advantage of this moment of weakness .

” 

My jaws clenched .

I knew where this was going .

“ We were told that the Alpha heir is locked up in the holding cells .

Given the circumstances , it’s time to release him .

He’s Alpha Logan’s legitimate successor and with his help , he can help the Alpha’s family plan the burial .

” 

“ We can have the Beta take over certain duties for now .

I still have a lot of scores to settle with the Alpha Heir .

“ Not when there’s an Heir .

He has trained all his life to take over at times like this .

You have kept him for four years … whatever he had done , I’m sure we could look for better ways to resolve it .

If you do not release him , the Alpha council will revolt .

” Another elder chimed in .

“ I heard what you said … you’ve been telling me the Alpha council will revolt for years and yet they’ve never ” 

< 

64 The turn … 

“ You cannot keep him locked up indefinitely , ” Alpha Mira bristled .

“ The Pack needs an Alpha .

They need someone to lead them and make decisions .

You cannot deny them that much .

Whatever issues you have with him , must be put on hold now .

” 

I rolled my eyes .

“ Fine , I’ll release him .
