The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

155 Youre awake ? Lyla After I was sure we were far away from Ramsey and the warriors, I returned to my human form .

I lay on the ground panting .

The sky was bright now , birds chirped in the trees , and my dress was soiled .

So , this was how I got all the clothes stains and bruises ? I was still trembling but filled with a sense of peace I hadnt experienced before .

What were you thinking ? I lashed out to Nymeris .

Your behaviour with Ramsey was completely inappropriate ! Inappropriate ? she scoffed .

Hes our mate , Lyla .

Wanting to be with your mate is hardly considered inappropriate .

First , hes not our mate .

Weve rejected each other a lot of times and … Rejecting your mate without a wolf is not valid , not to mention that he marked Your little stunt with wolfsbane did not diminish the potent of his mark , she interrupted me .

Didnt you mention moments ago that you like Nathans wolf , Ragnar ? you .

Yes ! she laughed languidly .

And I also like Lax and dont mind having both of them .

The more , the merrier My face turned red .

I would have sworn it was someone else if she hadnt been a part of Why do you want to be with more than one person ? We cant even handle one , and youre here pinning for two men ? Speak for yourself , she huffed .

And they are three , actually , she murmured .

Thats including Xander , and theyre the things I like : one badass evil , one good boy and another badass in bed .

Since youve been with neither Nathan nor Xander , I cant tell if theyre as good as Ramsey .

I hope they are .

I was practically shining red now .

Y You want to sleep with three people ? I dont mind , she answered again .

The tendency of laying with either of them is high .

Theyre connected to us in a way I cannot explain , so Im keeping my options open .

But you said Ramsey is our mate ! Yeah ! But that doesnt stop us from having fun .

Since youre not officially together , you can be with Nathan or Xander Will you stop calling Xander ? Hes evil … And sexy as hell … she whispered the last part .

I just stood there , frozen , deciding if laughing or crying would suffice for the thousand emotions running through me .

My wolf was acting like an unhinged slut , on Im not a slut , Lyla … she responded , reading my mind .

Rather , were not , but I have a big appetite , in case you havent noticed .

When were in heat , we would need to double the pleasure .

Also , thats one of the easiest ways to strengthen me if Im weak .

Youre vulgar , Nymeris … Im sure the goddess must have made a mistake because theres no way youre a product of me .

I am nothing like you .

You think ? she sneered .

You slept with a man in the middle of a garden ? You can pretend and suppress all those fantasies in your head from everyone , but you cannot hide them from me .

I am a product of your thoughts for your information .

Just shut up ! I bristled , fanning myself .

Her accusations were true .

Yeah ! she laughed softly .

I mean it , Nymeris when I said I dont want anyone to know I have you yet .

Im still navigating through my Moonsinging abilities .

I dont want to feel pressured .

Fine ! she sighed .

Just make sure were never near Ramsey .

I cant control myself .

I groaned , pinching the bridge of my nose as the pack house came into view .

This isnt about not being able to control your strength .

Until we understand what our roles are , we should be careful .

Youre going to get us both discovered with stunts like that .

Her only reply was a dismissive huff before she added , I need to rest ; talk to you later .

With that , she went silent.

By the time I reached the pack house , I was exhausted .

I just had enough energy to tiptoe around the room , careful not to wake Nanny and change out of my soiled dress , which I threw under the bed before collapsing on the bed .

My eyes fluttered close as exhaustion weighed on me like a stone .

I dont know how long I slept , but the faint sound of movement woke me .

I blinked groggily , letting out a soft yawn .

My vision swam before it settled on the familiar figure of Nanny stretching in her chair .

Good morningt daar Voure swaba cha caid softly touching my forehead .

Her eu 155 Youre awake ? Good morning , dear.

Youre awake , she said softly , touching my forehead .

Her eyes widened .

Your fever … its gone ! I forced a smile , sitting up slowly .

Im feeling much better , I said , sounding casual .

She studied me intently , obviously not convinced by my miraculous healing .

You look different , she murmured , tilting her head .

Yesterday , you were so sick barely hanging on , but now , youre practically glowing .

Even your pulse feels strong .

I laughed nervously , looking away .

Thanks for your care , I deflected , hoping to end the scrutiny , but she kept gazing at me .

Nan , its nothing really .

Youve hardly left my side .

If anything , you look like you need to really rest , and you should .

She ignored me as her hands continued to hover all over my body .

After a few minutes , her frown deepened , but she nodded .

Well , I suppose thats good news .

But you still need to take it easy , okay ? I will , I promised quickly , eager to steer the conversation away from me .

Id like to bathe and dress myself this morning .

Im feeling much better .

She stared at me for a few seconds before nodding .

All right , but dont push yourself .

Once she left the room , I hurried to the full length mirror to look at my body , but I was surprised to see that all the scratches and bruises Id sustained earlier had healed .

I look brand new except for the scrape of a Ferals teeth on my ankle .

I smiled to myself.

So , this is what it meant to have a wolf .

As I dressed later , I couldnt stop staring at my reflection .

Getting my wolf had truly changed me , both physically and emotionally .

The silver lines on my hair had faded completely , and I felt a sudden burst of energy , something I could never relate to .

The anxiety that I was just too was now a distant memory , too .

Satisfied , I decided to see Mother Liora first .

Her room was tucked in the far corner of our wing , and when I approached , I noticed the door was slightly ajar .

Getting closer , I caught Ramseys scent , and I froze .

Curious , I crept closer to the door and leaned in as the voices inside reached me .

… it was the most beautiful werewolf Ive ever seen .

It attacked and killed a lot of Ferals .

There were more than two dozen and several Trinaxes , too .

That would explain why weve not sighted any of them for nearly a week now .

Unusual , Mother Liora murmured .

But are you sure it wasnt one of your warriors ? It wasnt , Mother , Ramsey replied , his voice was filled with frustration .

Were Lycans , 36 It wasnt , Mother , Ramsey replied , his voice was filled with frustration .

Were Lycans , not werewolves .

She was a werewolf , and she looked stronger than we were .

She moved twice as fast as a Lycan would and defeated the Ferals .

Can you imagine that ? Something none of us have been able to do since the attacks started , and yet someone .

singlehandedly did it .

Its a shame that she left ; now Im dying to know who she is .

I need to show my gratitude , at least .

I felt my pulse quicken .

I pressed closer , straining to hear .

Did you notice anything else about her aside from your description ? There was a slight pause before Ramsey said animatedly .

She had a forked tail like it was two but attached to one tail .

A two tailed werewolf ? Mother Lioras voice was filled with awe .

Goddess ! Thats a good omen .

Theyre rare … very rare , and a special breed ; we call them a beautiful mistake made by the Moon Goddess because she does not create them in a way .

An unlikely pairing forms them or … she paused .

Im not sure youll understand but that a good sign , Alpha Ramsey Yeah , but is there a way we could find it ? I need to meet her .

What makes you think its a she ? Mother Liora asked .

She came to me , rubbed herself against my leg , purred , more like , Ramsey chuckled .

Can you help me find her ? Im sorry , but there are limits to my powers , and a two tailed wolf cannot be forced to do what it doesnt want to do .

Since she ran away , she doesnt want to be found .

Perhaps next time ? I dont know … I heard Ramsey say .

She just looked so … he trailed off .

I cant stop thinking about her .

I need to meet her .

Alpha , you already have enough womens problems to deal with .

I wouldnt advise you to add another one to it .

Tell him ! I said under my breath .

Taking a deep breath , I opened the door and entered the room .

Both Mother Liora and Ramsey turned , their brows arched in surprise .

Lyla , Mother Liora said , eyes wide .

Youre … awake ?
