The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

142 His Orb … Lyla Its not that simple ! Nanny said marching towards me , tears in her eyes .

You pledged yourself to him when you allowed him to do those things to you with his Orb .

I know Mother Liora hasnt said so much about it but , Lyla … he can control you … bend you to his will , do whatever he damn wants .

You think hed just let you go if he didnt have something planned … and heavens … youre the damned reincarnation of Neriah … did you even know what happened between her and Xander ? 1 tried not to be alarmed .

The books said something about them falling in love and … The BOOKS ARE NOT SAYING THE TRUTH she screeched interrupting me .

They want you to believe that Neriah only had to capture the Dark One and lock him up .

She did more than that … she made him vengeful and dont you dare argue with me because Ive seen the visions … clear and crystal as glass … She paused and paced a little before coming back to me .

Xander The Dark One is out for revenge and he will not stop until he gets it .

Just like how he destroyed her Pack back then , he would do even worse and do you know why … he has a part of your power at his disposal .

He can choose to do with it in whatever way he wants .

He can control your mind and make you useless .

I dont know how you keep escaping but all of this makes me uneasy .

If only you had listened to me … if only you had just done all the things I told you … A strangled sob escaped her lips , she was crying freely now .

I cannot allow this .

I cannot allow you to remain in this world .

Lyla … she came and crouched beside me , holding my hands .

You must leave … thats the only way to survive .

As much as you do not try to tap into whatever , he would never come after you .

Nanny ! your source or I stared at her strangely .

She was practically falling apart before my eyes .

Ive never seen her this way .

Dont worry , well find a way to take care of the Ferals and it doesnt matter if they call you a coward .

I just want you to live , please ! She cupped my face , a tear rolled down her cheeks .

seeping i into her mouth .

I love you so much , Lyla .

Ive always cherished you with everything in me … I cannot allow anything to happen to you .

I shifted uncomfortably , I was not used to this kind of familiarity with her .

Tell me … she sniffed back tears , reaching for both of my hands again .

Tell me youll leave .

Please ! I stared at her for a few minutes , at a loss for words .

What could I say ? Im not sure , I said finally , averting my gaze .

If I leave , a lot of people will die .

Nathan , Ramsey , Mom , everyone , you … 13 142 His Orb , Theyve been doing fine without a Moonsinger for 10,000 years .

Im sure theyll find a way to sort themselves out .

I cannot allow you … I removed my hands from her grasp , rising from my chair to put distance between us .

Know your place , Nanny , I said quietly .

You cannot make that decision for me .

Not only am I an adult but youre not my mother and I want to stay .

I dont know what you saw in your visions but I want to calamity .

o this for the sake of the innocents who will be at the receiving end of any that will strike .

And you think you can save everyone without your powers ? Nanny scoffed , swiping angrily at a tear as she crossed the room and came to me reaching for my hand again .

Ive always loved you like I would my child .

I practically raised you … and for years , Ive loved how you honoured me as your mother .

You know I am doing this in your best interest .

And Im tired of running .

I moved away from her again .

I dont know what you saw and Im sure it made you scared but Im confident about this and this is the first of many decisions I want to take .

I know youre attached to me but what will Mom think when she finds out youre acting this way .

Nanny sighed running a hand through her hair .

Your mom doesnt care about you more than I do But shes still my mom , I fired back And please … enough talk about his .

Im tired of hearing the same words over and over again .

Ill be fine and I wont be leaving .

Also , theres no future for me and Ramsey .

We can change the narrative and shape it into our wishes spare She huffed with tears in her eyes .

Youre nothing but a child .

Do you think Xander would you because he said he loves you ? Hes evil , Lyla and evil rarely changes and just so you know , its either him or Ramsey .

There is no Nathan in between .

If you must spare his life , leave him alone and let someone else have him .

a Fear coursed through my veins as the words of the High Priestess echoed in my heart too .

Th thats for us to decide , I said bravely .

Nanny laughed then shook her head , grabbed the laundry basket and walked out of my room leaving me more confused than I was before .

After she left , thoughts of everything that she said were hunting me and I was feeling quite restless .

Deciding to explore within the pack , I slipped out of my room .

The late afternoon sun was waning , shining brightly only on polished surfaces .

I wandered through the pack , loving the buzz of activity as every pack member went about their day .

I was so consumed in thoughts that I found myself at the training grounds .

A group of warriors were engaged in drills , captivating me with their uniform movements .

I approached the training ground , leaning curiously at the rail as I watched them .

I hadnt had the time to settle properly when the warriors training , stopped immediately , bowing respectfully to I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment .

* Please Please I said hurriedly Dont ston on my scenunt .

I just wanted to watch The warriors exchanged glances and one of them , presumably the instructor came forward .

Modesinger ..

he said awkwardly clearing his throat as his eyes sought mine .

What title should I call you ? What title … Lya I said immediately cutting him short .

You can call me Lyla , thats my name , no need to be formal He nodded .

Can we help you with anything ? Umm With Nathan always swamped with work , I had to keep on training .

If I wanted to be useful , at least .

I was wondering if I could train here sometime .

I wont get in the way .

I promise .

Just … in a corner somewhere .

I promise not to slow you down .

I added .

The instructor hesitated for a moment and then nodded .

Of course , youre welcome here anytime .

thanked him and left , a small smile on my lips .
