The Alpha's Fated Outcast Rise Of The Moonsinger novel Chapter 128

128 Ramsey is not the prize! 

Lyla 

The number was Cassidy’s. 

I watched the phone ring until the call ended and went back to my reading. The phone rang for the second time and my thumb hovered over the screen as a wave of unease settled over me. 

Finally, I took a deep breath and accepted the call. 

“Hello?” 

“I was wondering if you’d pick up.” She said without bothering to return my greeting. 

I gritted my teeth. “What do you want Cassidy? If you have something to say, get to the point.” 

She huffed in disbelief. “Two days,” she shouted, “I sent you that address two days ago, waited for you and you didn’t even bother to show up?” 

I leaned back in my chair, a wry smile playing on my lips. “Oh, I was busy… still busy. You could have 

checked if I was free before sending me random addresses, you know.”

The line went quiet for a moment until Cassidy’s voice came up again. She sounded frustrated. “Where are you now?” she snapped. 

“The library,” I responded. “What do you want, Cassidy?” 

The line went dead. I stared at my phone for a moment, before shrugging and returning to the book I was reading. 

An hour later, my phone buzzed again. Cassidy’s 

number flashed across the screen. 

“Yes?” 

“I’m at the café across from the library,” she 

announced. Come meet me.” 

“No, thank you, I’d rather not. I’m too busy to step out,” I replied without closing my book. 

“I really am at the café. I can see the library from here,” Cassidy insisted “And I won’t take your time. Just a few minutes, hmm?” 

“I can’t, Cassidy. I don’t like you too much to inconvenience myself. I have no plans to leave this position until much later. So I’m sorry my dear but

No…” 

I hung up without waiting for another explanation 

from her. 

Minutes later, a shadow fell across me, when I looked 

up, I saw Cassidy standing in front of me, her brows drawn in disdain but she managed a smile as soon as 

our gaze met. 

“I came here to get you myself. If you do not cooperate and come out with me, I’m, going to make a scene.” 

I laughed, leaning back on my chair. “Go ahead, my dear, I’m sure people won’t mind seeing that you’re not as scary as you try to make yourself seem. Live a little, I’ll be here cheering for you. 

“Don’t make this more difficult than it already is. Just come out with me.” 

“Ask nicely, Cassidy Thorne. I’m not your little maids at home…” 

She rolled her eyes and took a deep breath before 

turning to me again. “Please Lyla, would you be kind 

enough to share a cup of coffee with me? The weather 

seems nice for it.”

128 Ramsey is not the prize! 

I studied her for a few minutes, looked at the books spread before me, and then back at her smiling expression. Sighing, I began gathering my things. Sometimes it was easier to give in than to resist the force of nature that was Cassidy. 

Knowing who she is, she won’t let me rest until she gets what she wants. 

I followed her out of the library and some minutes later, we were sitting, facing each other in the coffee shop. I took a sip from my iced coffee giving her a pointed stare. 

“Why am I here?” 

“I have something to show you and to tell you,” she said happily. 

Reaching for the bag near the foot of the table, she pulled out a blue box with a pink ribbon adorning the cover which she placed on the table and slid it towards. 

1. me. 

“Open it,” she said, practically vibrating with excitement. 

I stared at the box arching my brow at her. “What is 

this?”

“It’s right in front of you, open it,” she said again, flashing me a smile that seemed genuine. 

My experience with Xander made me never take anyone at face value. I leaned back in my chair, studying the box as though it might explode. “Why don’t you tell me what’s inside instead?” 

She rolled her eyes, muttering something under her breath before she pulled the box closer and pulled off the lid. Then she turned the box towards me, revealing a luxurious wedding invitation adorned with gold accents and elegant calligraphy. 

I arched my brow higher waiting for an explanation. 

“Ramsey has agreed to a modern wedding! We would have this after the Moon Priest and Priestess join us of course. This would be like a pre–reception, just like the humans do it. Isn’t it fabulous?” she clapped her hands with glee. “And guess what? I want you to be my veil lady.” 

My lips twitched as I fought back laughter. “Your veil lady? That’s quite the honour, Cassidy but I’m trying to remember since when we became close. We only attended training school for two years where you

made every single second of my life a living hell. You would team up with those other Lycan daughters to bully me every day. Or is it recording an intimate video of me and posting it for everyone to see… we’re not close, Cassidy… why am I getting an invitation?” 

“Don’t hold grudges, Lyla and you’d agree with me that you always had an ego bigger than you, so it was just me trying to clip it for you and as for the video, Ramsey made me angry, just wanted to teach him a few lessons. Seems like I didn’t succeed.” 

I chuckled dryly. “Anyways, I’m afraid I’ll have to decline. I have no intention of attending your joining ceremony or wedding, much less being your veil lady.” 

Cassidy’s smile faltered, then transformed into 

something that looked almost like pity as she leaned forward. “Oh, sweetie, is it because you can’t stand seeing your mate marry another woman?” 

Your mate who was ready to reject you if I had said yes to him a few days ago. I thought in my head but my smirk deepened as I replied. 

“My former mate. And no, that’s not it.” 

She reached into her designer bag and pulled out a
