The Alpha's Fated Outcast Rise Of The Moonsinger novel Chapter 388

Chapter 388: The truth about everything.

Lyla

Ramsey scratched his head, looking guilty. "I said I was going to tell you, but there wasn’t enough time..."

"Yet Elias, your new friend, seemed to know?" I could feel my anger building.

"Lyla, let me explain—"

"No." I held up my hand to stop him. "You cannot just do whatever you want because you think you have money. The world doesn’t work like that, Ramsey. Marriage doesn’t work like that."

I was tired of being left out of decisions that affected my life. Tired of secrets and hidden guardians and mysterious house purchases. Tired of feeling like everyone knew more about my own situation than I did.

I turned to Nanny and took her hand. "I’ll sleep with you tonight."

Both Nanny and I walked toward the duplex, leaving Ramsey and Elias standing by the car. I could feel Ramsey’s hurt and confusion through our mate bond, but right now, I needed space to process everything that had happened.

As we approached the front door, Nanny squeezed my hand gently. "You did the right thing, dear. Men need to learn that they can’t make unilateral decisions and expect us to just go along with them."

"I’m just so tired of being kept in the dark," I said quietly. "First the guardian I didn’t know about, then the house purchase, and who knows what else he’s decided without consulting me."

"We’ll figure it out," Nanny assured me as we entered our temporary new home. "But tonight, you rest. Tomorrow, we’ll demand answers."

I stretched lazily on the bed, feeling more rested than I had in weeks. This was the best sleep I’d had since we arrived in the human world. The mattress was incredibly soft, the room temperature was perfect, and for once, the babies had allowed me to sleep peacefully through most of the night. Aside from getting up maybe twice to use the bathroom, I felt absolutely wonderful.

When I turned my head, I saw Ramsey sitting in an easy chair next to the bed, watching me with a gentle smile playing at his lips.

"Good morning, sunshine," he greeted, warmly.

"Sunshine?" I scoffed, sitting up abruptly and looking around the room with growing confusion. "How are you in Nanny’s room? Who allowed you to come in here?"

"This isn’t Nanny’s room," Ramsey said with amusement. "This is my room. I don’t know when you came in, but somehow in the middle of the night, you were tapping my shoulder asking me to scoot over so you could get comfortable."

I colored in embarrassment as I noticed for the first time that this definitely wasn’t the room Nanny and I had chosen the night before. This room was smaller, with fewer decorative details.

"I’m still angry with you, regardless," I fired back, trying to cover my mortification with indignation. "You’re so annoying."

He rose from the chair and came to the bed, contorting his face in remorse. "I’m sorry about not informing you about buying the house," he said in a placating tone. "Everything happened so fast, and I was going to tell you, I swear. I’m sorry, baby."

I sniffed, giving him a skeptical side glance. "Will you also tell me why Elias is hovering around me like a fly?"

"I will," Ramsey nodded earnestly. "But first, I need to know that you’ve accepted my apology."

I gave him another playful side glance. "I’m still mad. Saying sorry cannot just fix things like that."

He gathered me t him, pressing a soft kiss to my hair. "Apology accepted?" he asked sweetly. I shifted to face him, raising a brow.

"Okay, apology accepted but not forgotten. I’ll bring it up in the future if there’s nothing to nag you about," I said grudgingly."

"Fair deal," he grinned as he continued to shower kisses on my forehead, my cheeks, my lips and thanking me over and over while I melted against him despite my best efforts to remain stern.

"Thank you," he murmured against my hair. "I promise I’ll do better about communicating with you."

Soon I found myself sitting between his legs with my back against his chest, both of us settled comfortably on the bed. His arms wrapped around me protectively. He nuzzled my neck, sending thrills of desire coursing through my body.

Of course, having a conversation on the bed was not a good idea but knowing who Ramsey was, every conversation like this always ended up with our clothes on the floor.

"Ramsey, focus!" I called out playfully, dodging a kiss.

"It’s been 48 hours without kissing you, give me a break."

"Ramsey!" I called out sternly. Kiss my foot. He would do more than kissing.
