The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

134 Its eitheror Ramsey the dark room.

...

Lyla My heart thudded painfully in my chest as I tried to keep my eyes on him in He sauntered toand flicked his finger causing light to sprout from the tips, illuminating his face and the room to a little extent.

He looked different much more mature than four years ago .

The boyish features that gave him the vibe of a high school kid that I remembered, were all gone and were now replaced by sharp, chiselled edges that spoke of a man who had embraced his power.

His body had changed too.

He stood before me, bulkier and muscular, he seemed even taller now, towering above me, almost taller than Ramsey by several inches but that wasnt the problem ... he was naked.

Not bare skin kind of naked but he had on a pair of jeans that moulded into his skin, accentuating his long, curved legs and his smooth, firm torso and a singlet that clung to his arbs.

My eyes travelled the length of his body, appreciating his manliness when they met with his eyes, there was a cocky grin on his face.

Lyla my honeybee ... we meet again.

Sorry, for the rude welcome.

You were so flustered that I had to put you to sleep immediately but I hope you dont mind? Seriously? My lips curled in disdain as I crossed my arms over my chest.

What kind of a Monster parade around naked, flexing like shuman gym enthusiast? I couldnt hide the malice in my voice as I demanded.

And whats with all this muscle gain? Are you compensating for something? Youre the Dark One ... you should be clad in straditional, animal skin or something not dressed like a human version of seduction? Are you implying that you findseductive ? he arched a brow at me, his eyes twinkling with amusement.

If I find all of this ... I swept my hand over his form Seductive, then Ill be spending every with every single human male that has hit on me.

hour He laughed producing a sound that was both charming and unsettling.

Ah, Lyla ... always so quick with the comebacks.

Maybe thats one of the reasons I missed having you around.

He spread his arms, doing a little spin to showcase himself.

Do you like what you see, please tell me? I rolled my eyes.

Ive seen better and stop talking like that... you sound human . When did you.

stop using honorifics and sounding ancient? It fits you better.

The female humans I met didnt like it, so I had to brush myself up a little .

Its not easy existing for so long, he sighed.

Anyways, I fell in love with the gym, he continued flexing his biceps exaggeratedly and running his hand over his muscled chest.

This generation of humans is so fascinating and will die for looks.

When I learnt they have these incredible buildings dedicated to changing ones body, I figured I might as well enjoy it to the fullest.

Enjoy it? I scoffed.

By strutting around like a peacock and skinny jeans is so out of fashion.

Grow up! 134 its eitherof Ramsey ... His laughter deepened as he closed the distance between us, his eyes glinting coldly.

If I do any more growing.

Im not sure the world would survive Without warning, he knelt before me, his eyes sweeping over my face.

A strong finger caught my jaw, forcingto meet his gaze.

His touch was firm but not painful, his thumb brushed against my cheek as he tilted my head towards him .

My breath caught as his eyes bore into mine, searching and calculating.

The room seemed to shrink and the walls pressed in around us.

Youre still as fiery and feisty as ever, he murmured after what felt like an eternity.

He releasedabruptly and straightened to his full height .

Your heat will start soon, he said.

matter of factly.

Itll be the perfect time.

I recoiled, glaring up at him.

What nonsense and schare you up to this taround? He didnt answer, instead, he turned and started towards the door.

My head was spinning with a million ideas ... this was my chance to liberate myself.

I couldnt let him walk out of this room in this darkness without knowing when hell be back.

* Is this how you want to treat? after everything? I hissed, hoping the tremors in my voice and body would convince him.

He paused, his broad shoulder tensing.

Slowly, he turned back to face me, staring atnow with a quiet intensity that made the air feel heavy.

I continued, faking pain and anger.

You claim to love me, yet you putin this darkness... this cell.

You leavechained like Im sanimal .

* Coming from you thats hypocrisy.

...

I treated you right until you brought your mom and attacked me.

What were you expecting forto open my arms up to you and ... You forcedinto it ! I interrupted him .

You were being so weird and strange.

Plus, I didnt want to commit to something like that.

You cant make decisions for yourself and expectto magically tune into it? Thats not how it works.

I am capable of making decisions myself too.

He stared atfor a few seconds and shook his head.

The only thing that changed about you after three years... Three years, six months and sthree weeks, I blurted.

He huffed.

Is you got prettier and curvier.

Else that, youre still as foolish and selfish as youve always been.

Even I changed, Lyla.

I becmore patient, more forgiving ... I let you off for three years ... but youre still as ignorant as you were.

He sighed.

What a sh! I am not selfish! I cried, hating that his words were getting toAnd I choose to be ignorant because knowing too much is trouble.

I dont want to.

I want to live a normal life.

How many times did I tell you that you cannot live out your fantasy ? he sighed running a hand through his hair. You were not born to get married to that Paul in your office and travel around the world? You were born to fight me... how many times should I emphasise it ? I can see how well the fight is going? I scoffed, indicating my chains.

Or maybe youre scared that a little girl whos only twenty three will beat you up.

He didnt cau anvthing for a few minutes he list starryl atand then nodded.

134 Its eitheror Ramsey Yes! his eyes darkened.

Do you said quietly.

This think I enjoy watching you like this.

om is special, both for your protection and mine.

It is made of Umbra bind almost like Selenium the human mineral and its a rare substance that is specifically designed to wenken the powers of any Moonsinger.

My eyes widened.

But Ive lost my powers.

The High Priestess sald so.

He smirked, narrowing his gaze at me.

Did she ? Then explain how youve been weakening Ferals without even trying.

Or how you managed to wound a Trinax Mr Dupree specifically and so severely.

Do you know how sick he was for nearly a month because of the stunt you pulled at the funeral of your O father? Honestly, I dont know how that happened and I wont apologize to Mr Dupree. He sprang ontowithout warning.

What was I supposed to do? And who knows, it could be instinct? Instinct ? he let out a low laugh.

Call it whatever you want, but dont lie to yourself.

Youre still powerful, Lyla .

More than you realize.

I pushed myself to my feet and attempted what seemed tolike a seductive pose.

I lifted my chin, running my tongue over my lips.

If Im so powerful, I purred, Then maybe, you should be careful, Xander.

He chuckled crossing the room to stand where I stood Oh, Lyla, he said shaking his head.

Youve never been good at playing the seductress.

My checks flushed with embarrassment but quickly I masked it with anger.

Shut up, I sStill chuckling, he moved behindand with a casual flick of his wrist, he broke the chains ΕΠ on my hands and feet. Then comes to stand in front of me.

Dont try anything stupid, he warned.

I havent forgotten and forgiven what you needed four years ago.

I narrowed my eyes at him, my heart pounding.

Fine, what do you want from me, Xander? What is it 2 Instead of m answering he pulledclose and leaned in to kiss me. Dont, I said sharply, turning my face away.

He paused, his lips mere inches from mine.

Why not? Because I have a boyfriend now, I declared.

He arched an eyebrow, a smirk spreading across his face.

You mean Nathan ? The Alpha that succeeded your father? he let out a low chuckle.

Dont worry, Lyla.

You wont end with him.

My heart clenched with fear at his words as the High Priestesss warning also flitted into my mind.

Whats that supposed to mean? Hes just an experience, Xander shrugged.

A stepping stone to heal you a bit.

Its eitheror ... he paused, the smirk on his lips deepening.
