The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger -
Chapter 95
95 Which is it ? ”
Nathan
My father immediately moved to stand between us , bowing down politely to acknowledge his presence , something I didn’t bother with .
What is the worst thing that can happen to me that hasn’t happened before ?
The tension in the room was thick enough to cut with a knife as both of us stared at each other .
I could feel Ragnar stirring in annoyance within me , he hated Ramsey and I hated him more .
“ Lyla is not here , I said breaking the silence and began stacking the files in front of me , still holding his gaze .
“ I didn’t come to see , her , he said calmly .
“ Can you spare me a few minutes ? ”
“ Then did you come to arrest me again ? Maybe kill me this time around ? ” I taunted with a cold.
stare .
“ Which is it , Lycan Leader ? ”
His face remained impassive .
He drew one of the chairs and settled on it , crossing his legs as he looked up , giving me a pointed starc .
“ We need to talk .
I was boiling with anger .
The fact that he was no longer trying to hide his rudeness irked me so much that I wanted to reach out and wipe the smirk on his lips .
Still , I composed myself .
I shouldn’t let myself get riled up by him .
‘ Perhaps another time .
I have a meeting now ,” I stared at my wristwatch , gathering the stacked files .
My father remained in one corner of the room , watching us without saying anything-

“ It’s about Lyla ,” he said quietly ignoring my excuse .
“ About our partnership .
About everything ”
At the mention of Lyla’s name , my control wavered slightly .
My gaze flickered to my father , who understood my unspoken request and moved toward the door .
“ I’ll be right outside if you need me ,” he said , his gaze resting on Ramsey before leaving .
The office fell silent as both of us sized each other up .
These four years in the dungeon had changed my perspective about people like
Ramsey who had taken up a pseudo – act like a big , bad wolf when underneath , he was a softy and I am not afraid of him .
“ Well ? ” I finally said , finally drawing the seat opposite him .
“ Talk ,”
quietly , that pointed expression still on his face .
new Alpha of Blue Ridge .
“ I didn’t come here to fight , Nathan , ” he start “ So you can relax .
Congratulations , by the way , I heard you’re now the
Send me an invitation to the coronation .
”
“ Skip the bullshit , Ramsey … why are you here and what is it about Lyla do you want to talk about ? ” I asked .
“ How long do you intend to keep her away from me ? ” he rose from his seat and crossed to the
other eide of the room .

“ Eventually , we will have to meet .
I hope you realize that .
But keeping her away from me all because you’re angry at something I did ….
” He shook his head .
“ I just don’t understand .
”
“ She’s a grown woman now who can make decisions about if she wants to reconnect with her ex – mate .
Besides , we’ve been too busy to talk about you .
She’s staying at my place , for the time being , you see .
”
He broke the seal of the water bottle and gulped down its entire content .
When he finished , he tossed it into the bin at the corner , without looking at it and returned to his chair , an amused
smile on his face .
“ Is that little information supposed to make me jealous , Nathan ? Is that how insecure you are that you need my validation that bad ? Is that what this is all about ? ”
I knew if I continued bantering words with him , I would lose my cool and that was his intention .
“ Listen , I don’t have time for long chats .
If whatever it is that you came back for isn’t important .
I’m afraid , I’ll have to leave you now .
I’m busy as I mentioned earlier .
”
He nodded , taking in a deep breath .
“ I realized that I over – played my hand and … ” he cleared his throat noisily “ Trampled on your right by using my authority .
I shouldn’t have locked you up for four years .
I was wrong and I apologize .
”
I stared at him , wondering how to react to his half – baked apology .
“ First of all , I don’t know what this is but whatever it is … can you please stop .
I’m really not interested in your apology or wait … ” A smug glint flashed through my eyes as I regarded him .
“ Is this regarding the renewal of the business alliance between Blue Ridge Pack and Dynasty Group ? ”
I chuckled , stroking my chin .
“ Lots of offers had already started pouring in several months .
ago .
at least from what I saw going through the archives of Alpha Logan “ And the benefits are attractive .
It’s not for certain if we would want to continue doing business with your pack .
“ These alliances are the little ways we can all stay united , Alpha Nathan ,” he said quietly .
“ But if you prefer to do business with packs abroad , then I have no intention to stop you .
I just wanted to let you know that we would be willing to continue the partnership once the current one elapses .
”
I nodded scoffing .
“ You came to apologize to me to set the record straight but you didn’t even say how sorry you were .
How you wasted four years of my life in the dungeon and you want me to just forgive you and move on like nothing happened ? ”
“ I was hoping for that ,” he nodded .
“ It’ll be too much , maybe , but that is our issue .
You’re not supposed to mingle and these things .
Except you want to give me the impression that you’re the kind of person that seeks revenge .
”
I was more stunned than I was angry .
Ramsey’s display of rudeness knew no bounds .
“ I’ve heard ,” I decided not to argue with him again .
“ There are still a few months left before the expiration .
I’m sure we’ll reach an agreement by then .
Well , if that’s all … ” I rose to my feet and

he did the same .
“ How’s Lyla ? ” he blurted out , adjusting his shirt awkwardly .
“ How is she taking the news of her father’s death ? ”
“ Why are you so concerned about her , Alpha Ramsey ? ” I glared at him .
“ You rejected her , remember ? Move on with your life and stop hanging around her like a flea .
”
“ I’m not ! ” he sighed tiredly “ I would have gone to the pack house too before coming here but I didn’t want to startle her .
”
“ You made the right choice .
She doesn’t want to see you .
I thought she made it clear to your Beta .
She’s no longer bound to you .
Let her go .
”
His jaw tightened .
“ Maybe .
But I still have a right to see her .
”
“ You don’t have any rights where she’s concerned , Ramsey .
You lost that privilege the moment you tried to manipulate her for your gain .
”
The desperate look on his face faded , getting replaced with a dark gaze .
“ Careful , Nathan … you .
don’t want to offend me and commit another crime .
”
I squared my shoulders , holding his gaze .
“ Lyla is under my protection now .
If you lay even at finger on her , Ramsey , you’ll regret it .
”
For a moment we stood in silence before a thought came to my mind .
“ Listen , how about you let her go , stop chasing after her and I’ll renew our contract with Dynasty Group for as long as you want .
”
“ You’re asking me to give up my mate ? ” he snarled , glaring at me .
“ I can’t do that , Nathan .
I did not endure four years without her to give her up to another man .
”
“ You’re planning to get married , Ramsey … are you even listening to yourself ? Except , of course , you want to break off your engagement with Cassidy Thorne and marry Lyla … ”
