The Alpha's Fated Outcast Rise Of The Moonsinger novel Chapter 332

Lyla

I stood before Ramsey in the empty war room, finally ready to confess my secret. My hand rested protectively over my stomach as I took a deep breath.

"Ramsey, I need to tell you something important."

He turned to me fully, with a serious expression. He hasn't been coming to our bedroom for a few days now since Nathan's death, and I didn't know if he was protecting his peace, giving me space, or just trying to avoid any drama with me. Knowing who he is, I know it was neither.

Ramsey was worried about something, and I knew I didn't want him to learn about the babies from someone other than me.

"What is it?"

"Well, this might come as a little surprise, but…" I had barely completed the sentence when the door to the war room opened and Lenny burst in with an exasperated look on his face.

"Ramsey, you need to come see this," he announced without preamble, barely glancing at me.

"See what?" Ramsey asked, frowning. "What happened again?"

"Can't it wait?" I interjected, feeling frustrated. For weeks, I'd been burdened with keeping my pregnancy from Ramsey. Nymeris had appeared twice in my dreams, warning me about the consequences of dishonesty between mates. I was finally ready to come clean, and now this interruption.

"It can't wait, Luna Lyla," Lenny shook his head firmly. "You need to come now," he said urgently to Ramsey.

"What happened? What is it?"

Lenny's gaze shifted to where I was indicating; he didn't want to say it with me in the room. Ramsey nodded and turned to me, squeezing my shoulders gently.

"I'll find you as soon as I can, alright?"

I wanted to blurt out what was on my mind, but Lenny stood there, giving him a pointed look. So instead, I nodded, watching him follow Lenny out of the room. My hand automatically moved to my baby bump, which was small but noticeable now if anyone was paying attention.

The door began to close behind them, but at the last moment, a hand wedged between the door and the frame. I looked up to see Terra slipping into the room with a quiet smile.

"We need to talk," she announced.

I returned to the table, gathering my scattered notes. "About what?"

"Come with me." She said, her voice leaving no room for argument.

"I don't have time right now," I said, still irritated by the interrupted moment with Ramsey. "I'll find you later."

I attempted to move past her toward the door, but Terra blocked my path. "We need to talk now, Lyla. Stop making things difficult."

I rolled my eyes, temper flaring. "If it's about telling Ramsey, I was about to do that when Lenny walked in asking for an audience with him."

"Yeah, I know. Perfect timing, because we've all agreed that telling him about the pregnancy right now would complicate a lot of things."

"We?" I arched an eyebrow.

"Me, Miriam, and Lenny."

I froze. "Lenny knows I'm pregnant? How? You told him?"

Terra shook her head. "I haven't breathed a word to anyone aside from your mother. But yes, he knows. It's rare for a Lycan to notice these things in werewolves, but he did. He confronted us about his suspicions."

"What suspicions?"

"He said you've changed. You constantly place your hand on your stomach. He thinks that if Ramsey finds out about the babies now, it would cause problems with the coming battle. You might want to put that conversation off for another time or maybe after we've dealt with the Dark One. There's so much at stake right now.
