The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 14

14 Race against time … 

Ramsey 

1 burst out of the meeting room , my heart hammering in my chest .

I was afraid .

The discussion about the sudden attack by the Ferals faded in my mind .

All I could think of was Lax telling me that Lyla was in danger .

That girl was going to be the bane of my existence .

Couldn’t she just listen to me for once ? If she hadn’t left the pack , all of this wouldn’t have happened .

I stormed over to the outer gates , 

anxious .

“ Alpha , what’s going on ? ” Lenny panted behind me .

“ Where are we going ? ” 

I didn’t slow down .

“ Someone is in danger .

We need to replace her , now ! ” 

Lenny frowned , confused .

“ Find who ? ” He asked .

“ If the person is truly in danger as you shouldn’t we go with some warriors or backup ? ” 

“ We don’t have time for that , Lenny , ” I snapped , finally walking through the gate .

claim , 

Now that I was outside , I paused , trying to detect her scent .

Thankfully , there was still the faintest smell of her lingering in the air .

Without a word , I continued following the scent trail with Lenny behind me .

Suddenly , we arrived at the opening of a forest .

“ Alpha , you’re not thinking of taking that trail , right ? ” Lenny asked from behind me .

“ This leads to the Northern Forest .

It’s crawling with rogues and goddess knows what else .

” 

I nodded .

“ I know .

But her life is too important , Lenny .

” 

“ What the hell is she doing in there in the first place ? ” Lenny murmured , sounding as exasperated as I felt .

“ I’m sorry , Alpha but as your Beta , I cannot allow you to go into that forest ,” He said and blocked my path .

“ These are dangerous times and the last thing we need is you getting attacked .

” 

“ Didn’t you hear when I said the life we’re saving is more important than the risk ? ” I said coldly .

“ You’re free to wait here or come with me .

Don’t block my path .

” 

With a frustrated sigh , Lenny finally moved away .

I walked into the forest , while Lenny followed me .

I followed Lyla’s trail , concentrating on it alone as we went deeper into the forest .

As we rounded a bend , Lax pranced inside me , surging forward … 

“ She’s close , Ramsey … so close .

Follow her scent ! ” He urged .

Just as we came out of the bend .

I spotted a figure running towards us .

It was a man and he was cradling someone in his arms .

As they drew closer , I picked up Lyla’s scent again .

My heart stopped for a second as I took in the limp body in the man’s arm .

Blood was dripping from every part of her body , and the man carrying her had the front of his 

shirt soaked with blood .

It was Lyla and the man who had her in his arms was the man from the gala – the one who had helped her and had driven her home that night .

14 Race against time … 

“ That’s Nathan Tanner ! ” Lenny whispered to me .

“ He’s the son of the Beta of Blue Ridge pack and the Alpha heir apparent to the pack .

What is he doing so far away from home ? And who does he have in his arms ? ” Lenny wondered .

Jealousy flared in my chest at the fear in his eyes as he ran forward .

Did he have feelings for her ? But I shoved that thought aside .

This was no time to be petty .

“ Is she dead? What happened ? ” I demanded stopping him .

Nathan’s eyes widened when he saw us .

Immediately he saw it was me , he took a step backwards as if he was trying to protect her from me .

“ Of course not ! ” he hissed .

“ She was attacked by Ferals ! ” He panted .

“ I got here in time before they could cause much damage .

I don’t have time to explain , Alpha … I need to get her home .

” 

Lax growled with rage within me .

I clenched my jaw and my fists , trying not to lash out .

How dare the Ferals attack my mate ? Didn’t they see my mark on her ? Weren’t they afraid of the Leader of the White Moon Throne ? 

Nathan shifted , adjusting Lyla in his arms as he tried to move past us but I stepped closer .

My voice , hard .

“ You can’t take her home , Nathan .

You’re far from the Blue Ridge Pack .

She’ll bleed out before you make it .

Give her here , I’ll take her to the healers in my pack .

” 

He frowned as his gaze flickered up and down my form , I could sense hostility .

“ I’m sorry , Alpha but I cannot give her to the man that had her arrested a few hours ago .

I’m her friend and I’ll make sure to take her home .

” 

He tried to walk past me but I held him back .

“ I am not asking you , Nathan Tanner ,” I said coldly .

“ It was a command .

Except you’ve grown wings bigger than my title , then you can walk away .

” 

I saw him hesitate for a minute , his eyes flashing with annoyance .

“ How am I sure you won’t throw her into a holding cell and let her bleed out ? I can’t just leave her with you , Alpha and I’m not worried about offending the Leader of the White Moon Throne ! ” 

I wanted to say something else but Lenny interrupted at that moment .

“ Both of you can continue the debate later , ” Lenny quickly said .

“ But if you want to save this girl’s life , you need to move now .

She’s lost too much blood and she’s already going blue ! ” 

“ Fine ! ” I hissed glaring at Nathan .

“ You can come with us .

” Then I turned to Lenny and told him via mind – link .

“ Contact Seth .

Tell him to prepare a transport but discreetly .

I don’t want anyone to know about this.

” 

He nodded and started making the call .

Then I turned to Nathan .

“ Let’s go ! ” 

Nathan nodded and adjusted Lyla in his arms for the second time before we started running towards the entrance of the forest .

My heart was hammering with fear .

I could feel Lax growing restless inside me .

He wanted to hold her but I couldn’t afford to reveal that she was my mate yet .

Her scent filled my nostrils , but this time , it was mingled with the coppery stench of blood .

with Seth standing close to it .

“ Alpha ! ” Seth exclaimed immediately , taking in the entire situation in one glance .

I saw his eyes flicker with recognition when he saw it was Lyla in Nathan’s arms but he didn’t say anything .

“ Thank you for coming ” I nodded to him then turned to Nathan again .

“ Get her in ! ” I ordered .

But he stood where he was , holding a bleeding Lyla not moving a muscle .

“ I need an assurance that you would not have her thrown into the cells even after she recovers .

” 

I turned to him , annoyance boiling within me .

“ I already gave you my word , ” I said coldly “ What else do you want ? A fucking contract ? ” 

“ You didn’t give me your word , Alpha , ” Nathan said stubbornly .

“ You threatened me .

If you’re serious about it , ask your Beta to record a video of you swearing not to harm her and then send it to me .

That’s the only way I’d let you go with her .

Else … my car is over there ! ” he nodded at a sleek jeep parked by the road .

“ How dare you … ” Lenny was starting to say but I cut him short .

“ Fine ! I’ll do it .

Lenny , bring out your phone .

Take the darned video and get out of here .

” 

“ But Alpha ! ” Lenny looked surprised .

“ Do as I have said ! ” I snapped , “ We don’t have all day .

” 

A few minutes later , we finished with the video where I swore not to harm Lyla or throw her into a holding cell , and sent it to Nathan before he agreed to put her inside the van .

Seth started the vehicle immediately with Lenny taking the passenger seat behind him .

Nathan and I were with Lyla at the back .

I sat beside her , feeling Lax growling inside me again .

He was anxious and furious .

“ You deserted her again ? ” he complained .

“ Is it until she dies that you’d make up your mind about her ? ” 

I didn’t answer him .

I broke off our connection and instead cradled Lyla’s head in my lap ignoring the heated glare from her friend .

“ Stay with me , Lyla , ” I murmured .

“ Please .

” 

“ Why ? ” Nathan suddenly asked , watching me curiously .

“ Just a concerned leader looking out for his subject ! ” I answered immediately .

“ Right ! ” Nathan snorted .

“ Because the Lycan Leader of the White Moon Throne personally rescues every injured wolf .

How leader – like ! ” 3 

Before I could respond , Lyla stirred .

Her eyes fluttered open for a second , her gaze was filled with pain and then they met mine .

“ Alpha ? ” she whispered .

My heart clenched with relief .

“ I’m here .

You’re safe now .

” 

A ghost smile appeared on her lips before she closed her eyes again .

Nathan’s eyes widened in realization as he turned to me .

“ Wait ! Is she # 1

The van screeched to a halt as Lenny tapped at the back of the van .

“ We’re here Alpha ! ”
