The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

30 Keeping up with the Tanners' 2 Nathan My heart skipped a beat.

Why was he here ? I shot to my feet reluctantly, bowing my head in respect that I didn't feel .

"Lycan Leader," I said feigning surprise.

"To what do we owe the honour of your visit?" "Yes! " My father cto stand next toas he addressed Ramsey .

"Alpha, I what brings you here, to my home? " Ramsey's cold gaze flickered toward me, then back to my father.

"Beta Tanner, I need to speak to your son, " He said in a commanding tone.

"Alone, if you don't mind.

" My father hesitated, his eyes flickering towardsfor a second.

He was clearly taken aback by Ramsey's sudden appearance and request but also torn between his duty to obey the Lycan Leader and his desire to protect"Of course, Alpha," he said finally.

"I'll ... I'll be in the 30 Keeping up with the Tanners' 2 living room if you need me.

"Beta ! " Ramsey faced my father.

"You don't understand.

It's best if you stay outside.

The conversation betweenand your son is like a secret and I wouldn't appreciate it if someone else heard it too.

That's why I cin alone and left my Beta and the warriors with me, outside.

My father shotanother worried glance but I nodded to him flashing him a smile. "I'll be fine, Dad.

I'm sure, the Lycan Leader just wants to talk and nothing more.

We'll be done in no time.

" As soon as the door closed and ere finally alone, Ramsey turned to me, the coldness in his eyes was turning into fury.

"Where is she?' he demanded without preamble.

I arched my brow at him.

"Where is who?" "Lyla ! " he replied.

"I need to know where Lyla is.

" I blinked, taken aback by the directness of his question.

I recovered a few seconds later and pointed in the direction of the pack house.

"Lyla ? She lives next door at the packhouse.

You should be asking her parents.

You could go over there 10:23 2.

9 30 Keeping up with the Tanners 2 and ask them, I'm sure the Alpha and Luna are at home.

" His hands curled into fists at his sides as he gritted his teeth in annoyance.

"Listen, Nathan ... I didn't chere to waste my tand play games with you and I'm really trying right now to be the best version of myself, so please don't test me.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

"Of course, I know you're talking about, Lyla," I continued without skipping a beat.

That's why I'm suggesting that you go to her house to look for her.

Isn't that good enough for you, Al ? " Frustration flashed across Ramsey's face.

In two quick strides, he closed the distance between us, grabbingby the collar of my shirt.

"You're testing me, Nathan Tanner," he snarled.

"I know you were the last one to see her before she left.

Where did she go? Giveher address in the human world right now and we don't have to take this any further My mind raced.

How did Ramsey know about that? And why was he so desperate to find Lyla ? Did he want 3/0 30 Keeping up with the Tanners' 2 to punish her more? Unless ...

A bitter laugh escaped my lips as I scoffed looking into his furious eyes without fear.

"Shouldn't you know where she is, Alpha ?" I taunted.

"I mean, she's your mate, right? Isn't it your job to know where she is at all times? " His grip tightened, his eyes flashing furiously.

"Answer the fucking question.

Where is she?" I held his gaze without flinching.

"Why should I know? I'm just her friend and the Beta's son.

Oh wait..." My voice dripped with sarcasm.

"I forgot.

She masked her ' scent and your mate mark.

She bl d you out, didn't she? Looks like she doesn't want to have anything to do with you again .

"1 In a rage, Ramsey struckacross the face with a force that sentstumbling back.

Blood pooled in my mouth but I only laughed as I stared up at him in defiance.

"I didn't take you for a violent person, Alpha Ramsey but if you think hittingwould get you answers," I spat , wiping the blood from my lip.

"You can beatto death if you want but I'm not telling you anything.

" 19:23 30 Keeping up with the Tanners' 2 He ran his hand through his hair, pacing back and forth.

"Fine ! " he said.

"I'm sorry for hitting you but I need to find her and at least make amends...

"Make amends ? After you rejected her ? After you let her walk away thinking she wasn't good enough and you think she would accept you with open arms? You've got to be kidding me.

" "It's betweenand her, it's none of your business," Ramsey exploded.

"Well, good luck finding her then .

Hint; she's in the human world," I said.

Ramsey lunged at me, striking m n and again, each blow harder than the last.

I refused to fight back- I was no match for him and there could be consequences in the future if I fought with the Lycan leader.

So I remained quiet while he rained blows on me.

I stayed still without making a noise - I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction.

After what felt like an eternity, he stopped, breathing heavily, his fists still clenched in rage.

I lay on the floor, blood dripping from my mouth, my body bruised and battered.

< 30 Keeping up with the Tanners' 2 Ramsey stood over me, shaking with frustration.

"You're makingdo this ... If you know where she is, you have to tellFor a moment, I was tempted.

The pain in his voice seemed genuine and a part ofwanted to believe he regretted everything he did to Lyla, but then, I remembered Lyla's tears, the devastation in her eyes as she left.

"No!" I said firmly.

"I won't betray her trust.

If Lyla wanted you to find her, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to disappear.

" His expression hardened.

"You do your Lycan Leader, I order you to ave a choice.

Aswhere she is.

Ragnar bristled at the command but I stood my ground.

"With all due respect, Lycan Leader, my loyalty you to Lyla comes before my duty to you.

I won't tell where she is, no matter what you threatenwith .

" "You're pathetic," he growled, kickingin my stomach.

"You think you can protect her by keeping quiet.

I will find her, with or without your help.

I coughed, spitting out blood before looking up at him with a smirk.

"Then do it, " I rasped.

"Find her.

But you 30 Keeping up with the Tanners' 2
