The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

145 Duty comes first ... Ramsey | leaned against the wall outside of Miriams room , trying to hide the tent in my

pants ... the only thing that had stoppedfrom taking Lyla right there and now was because of Miriam .

If we had been alone .

Lax growled with need within, and | blocked him off .

Hed make things worse .

Sighing , | pushed myself away from the wall , adjusting my clothing to hide my bulge , hoping Id walk out the

rest.

| was going to go see my grandfather and inform him of the victory today , but | needed to take care of a few

things in my den .

So, | headed there instead .

| hurried into my office , shutting the door behindwith a soft sigh .

My mind was still buzzing with the thoughts of Lyla the way her breast had felt against my chest , how soft and

pliant she had been in my arms .

The scent of her hair nuzzled my senses , sending another warm electric thrill through my body .

She belongs to another man ... | muttered under my breath .

She belongs to someone else .

Ramsey ! A voice called out, startlingand interrupting my thoughts .

My eyes flew open only to see Cassidy at the window , her lithe frsilhouetted against the soft afternoon light

| pulled myself to i my full height , feeling the warm satisfaction from helping save the Southern border and Lylas

warm hug dissolved .

| plastered a polite smile on my face as | nodded .

Cass , what are you doing here ? You didnt tellyou were coming ? Am | supposed to inform my mate that Im

coming to visit him ? she retorted , approaching.

Are you worried that Im going to find you stuck in between another womans legs ? Not this , Cass ! | sighed ,

moving away from her to my desk .

| still had the bulge .

| literally just .

cback from a fight .

Then why am | smelling her on you ? | arched a brow .

Guess what , when | chere , her scent was everywhere , meaning it was not a lie .

| sighed .

| dont know why you always feel the need to watch.

As soon as the one that get in retet 146 Duty comes first ... Thank you ! That was fast .

You were lucky .

But you cant keep dodging her forever and if youre set to get married to her, kissing and sex need to happen at

If we get married ! | dropped into my chair .

The Moon Priest clearly says he didnt us getting married , so Im going to hold on to that .

Besides , shes looking for a way to trap.

| told you about how | caught her putting something in my drink and the conversation with her mother

afterwards .

Heaven knows what she might have rubbed on her lips or in her mouth .

Im not taking chances .

Ah ... the things women do .

Well , marriage and relationships are not for everyone , Lenny chuckled .

Youll have to find a mate , eventually .

Anyway , have they sent the relief materials to the Southern border ? Lasked , changing the topic .

Yes ! he nodded .

| just need you to sign this authorization form so the storage unit can give us what we want and | also brought

this : he handedthe stack of papers in his hand .

The latest situation report about todays attack for tomorrows morning assembly .

| said , flipping through the documents quickly .

Anything else ? Just one question , Lenny said , leaning closer as he whispered .

Are you planning to attend Lylas cleansing tonight ? | paused , glancing up at him .

No , | dont think so .

If they need, youll go in my place .

He raised an eyebrow .

Really ? Not going to support her ? | thought you said youd try to win her over? | gave up on that, a while ago ,

that darned Nathan warnedyet again , | know this is funny but he scares the shit out of me, | chuckled , In a

good way though ... so much that it makesjealous .

He says for Lyla ... hes ready to fightwithout a second thought, even though he knows the odds will be in

my favour and that he might likely die .

You could put him in his place once and for all, Lenny frowned You keep enabling him .

Over a woman ? | laughed .

Cmon , | have other things to do with my strength and Im not a brute .

Still, go for the cleansing , Lenny insisted .

| wanted to , but | shrugged , trying to keep my voice casual .

Ive got other plans tonight .

Cassidy and | are having a picnic .

At night ? he scoffed .

Should | assyoure beginning to fall in love with her now ? These days , it seems she has you wrapped

around her pinky .

Thats the only way | can keep Lyla safe , | laughed softly , leaning back in my chair .

Its not love either .

Im just doing my duties Duties ? To who ? Her or yourself ? 145 Duty comes first ... finally .

He didnt press further.

He gave a curt nod , took the paper Id signed and handed back , and then left the room .

Alone .

| stared out of the window , my thoughts turning back to Lyla .

This was the right thing to do .

Keeping my distance .

My life was a delicate balance and Lyla ... she tipped the scales in ways | didnt know existed .

Yet, as much as | tried to convince myself that | could live without her, her lingering scent and the way my heart

fills with joy whenever shes near it is all becoming harder to ignore .

But duty ... Duty comes first .
