The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 68

68 Patterns ….

Ramsey 

After Cassidy left , I stood in my room , my hands clenched beside me as anger coursed through my veins .

I was tired of her manipulative threats but at the same time , I seemed to be playing right into her traps .

How did it come to this ? How had my life taken a turn and was so far out of control ? 

A tug in my mind interrupted my thoughts .

It was Lenny , my Beta trying to reach me through our mindlink .

“ What is it , Lenny ? ” I asked dryly .

“ The Elders are in the meeting hall seeking an audience with you .

They say it’s urgent .

” 

“ Seriously ? ” I groaned inwardly , rubbing the back of my neck as I closed my eyes , trying to gather my frayed emotions .

I’ve been hoping I would have a moment of peace today of all days but peace seemed to be an impossible word in my world .

“ What do they want to see me for ? ” I replied , not bothering to hide my annoyance .

“ They say it’s urgent , the Gamma Commander is here .

” 

I scowled .

It was never good news with the Elders .

“ Fine , I’m on my way , ” I muttered ending the link .

I threw on my jacket , taking a deep breath before I left my room , and made my way toward the meeting hall .

When I got to the meeting hall , irritation simmered under my skin but I pushed it aside and entered the hall .

Inside , the Elders were already seated around the meeting table , they all had long looks on their faces .

I spotted Elder Mira and Elder Thorne Lycan of the White Lake Pack and Cassidy’s 

father .

I could sense the tension in the air , something more than the usual politics I was used to .

I also noticed that the meeting had only the elders .

The members of the council were missing .

I crossed the room and took my seat , not bothering to hide my displeasure .

“ This better be important , ” I said , my voice was filled with exhaustion .

“ I really need to rest .

” 

“ We wouldn’t have called you if it was important , Alpha , ” Elder Mira was the first person to speak .

“ We received a report from the Gamma Commander early this morning and we thought –you’d like to know .

” 

“ You’re receiving reports directly now ? ‘ I asked arching my brow at her .

“ I thought I was the Lycan Leader here and that all reports should go through me first .

“ .

The Elders exchanged glances , deliberately avoiding mine before Elder Thorne spoke up .

“ The Gamma Commander has been trying to reach you for a month , Alpha .

He said all his

messages were either met with promises of getting to you or … ” he paused , “ Ignored entirely .

He had no choice but to approach us , hoping we could get him an audience with you ? 

I shifted uneasily in my seat , with guilt gnawing my conscience .

I knew exactly what they meant .

I had been so distracted of late by Cassidy , by the endless issues in the region , by my search for Lyla – that I hadn’t been attending to the stack of paperwork on my desk .

Messages , reports , and updates had all piled up .

Still , hearing that someone had reached out for a month without a response left me uneasy .

“ Still , the message should have been forwarded to me before calling a meeting without my permission .

” I straightened in my chair .

“ I’m sorry , Alpha Ramsey , Elder Thorne said slowly .

“ We were considering your preoccupations of late and we didn’t want to … ” 

“ Well , that is treason , Elder Thorne .

When next you go behind my back and fix a meeting without my consent , I’ll have every one of you answer for it .

Where is the Gamma Commander ? ” I changed the subject immediately , not giving any of them the chance to reply .

Elder Thorne nodded at one of the guards stationed at the door and he went out and returned after with a tall , broad – shouldered man .

He was dressed in the colour of the White Moon 

Region .

“ Who are you ? ” I asked as he came to stand in front of the meeting table .

“ Gamma Commander Calus Stone , Alpha .

I serve as the Commander of the Warriors in the White Mountain Region , and I’m currently assisting my father Gamma Darius Stone .

He’s old but his mind is still sharp .

“ ” 

My eyes hovered around the man .

No wonder he looked familiar .

A year back , Darius Stone had requested his son serve side by side with him .

Unlike the Werewolves , positions like Gamma don’t change even if the Lycan Alpha and Lycan Beta change .

And until a Gamma dies , no other person can replace him .

I motioned to him to continue .

Calus took a step forward and began to speak .

“ My father has been conducting research for 

tracking patterns , movements and anomalies that point to the arrival of the Ferals .

” 

years 

I frowned , crossing my arms .

“ The Ferals appeared Four Years ago , but were here for a week or less and they only reappeared recently .

What are you talking about .

” 

“ My father believes that the Ferals have been here all along .

They never really disappeared after the death of the last Moonsinger and have been growing stronger and amassing armies .

” 

“ That’s not possible , ” One of the Elders at the table burst out .

“ With the death of every Moonsinger , Ferals go into some sort of recluse and only come out when a new one appears .

They cannot have existed for 10,000 years .

” 

Caius nodded , pulling out several papers and maps from a bag slung over his shoulder and spreading them across the table .

“ That’s what the history books tell us but have we ever stopped to think that happens after the 

da Pattoms ….

dark one dies ? To date , no Moonsinger have brought in any of the Feral Wolves that were calmed with their voice .

Isn’t it strange ? ” 

Caius paused looking around the table .

“ These Ferals are different , Alpha .

Unlike the others who cannot survive without their source , that is the Dark One and go into a recluse , these Ferals have been around for longer and they only appear when certain conditions are met .

They do not attack people and may I say , have been able to adapt to living normally amongst our kind .

” 

“ They killed a hundred warriors and six elders including an Alpha .

Your claims are not true .

I 

said .

“ I know ! ” Caius nodded leaning forward to point at the documents spread across the meeting table .

They were filled with intricate patterns , landscape drawings and detailed notes .

“ As I said earlier , these Ferals have a purpose , a sense of direction .

They’re hunting something or someone and I think it’s the Moonsinger .

” 

“ But the Moonsinger is supposed to seek them out and not vice versa ? ” Elder Mira chimed in .

“ Our thoughts exactly ,” Caius agreed .

“ A month ago , our warriors at the borders picked up tracks of strange markings just outside the White Mountain Region borders .

We installed CCTV cameras along the perimeter and … this is what we found .

” 

He pulled out his phone and played Footage that showed a group of Ferals and a figure of a man that was hidden beneath the hood .

“ He and the Ferals go back and forth on the path and they do it for three times weekly .

We tried to send word to the White Moon Throne about an attack , well … ” 

“ So , you’re saying that the attack on our entourage returning from the Annual Moon Worship Ceremony wasn’t random ? ” I asked .

“ Yes , Alpha ! ” Calus nodded .

In the footage the cameras captured ; they were camped also at that intersection where all the packs passed but only people from the White Mountain Region were 

attacked .

” 

My blood ran cold as I nodded slowly , though my brain was still clouded with confusion .

“ Lstill 

don’t see … ” 

“ The Ferals are trying to draw out the Moonsinger , ” Caius interrupted , “ They know who the Moonsinger is , and my guess is and the Moonsinger could be at the White Mountain Region .

We need to check the families of those killed or injured in the attack .

One of them must be connected to the Moonsinger .

” 

The room fell silent as I the revelations became clearer to me .

“ If what you’re saying is true ,” I said slowly .

“ Then we’ve been approaching this all wrong .

It means we’re not dealing with random attacks .

We’re dealing with a hunt .

” 

her 

“ And if truly there is a Moonsinger in the White Mountain Region , ” Elder Mira leaned forward , 

eyes twinkling with excitement .

“ Your reign will go down as the best in history .

We’ve never had a Moonsinger from this region .

It’s always in the other regions or amongst the Werewolves .

It means , the goddess blesses us .

” 

68 Pattems .

“ They could also be in grave danger , Elder Thorne added .

“ They might not even know what they are or maybe they do know and they’re trying to protect everyone by staying hidden .

” 

My thoughts drifted to the pile of unopened 

Information I might have missed while jugglints on my desk , wondering what other crucial 

my duties and personal drama .

“ I think you’ve all misunderstood me , Elders ! ” Caius shook his head .

“ This is not a thing to celebrate .

These Ferals will continue to attack until a Moonsinger comes forth but we also think there’ll be another attack soon .
