The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

175 More Truths … Ramsey When Seth and I arrived at the festival grounds , our breaths were heavy , and our muscles were taut with anticipation .

The path leading here had been eerily quiet , except for the distant hum of the festivals .

Overhead , the harvest moon hung low .

It was half now … , but very soon , it would be full .

The festival was in full swing now .

Laughs echoed through the night sky as families gathered around the towering bonfire at the centre of the grounds .

Children ran in circles , their shrieks of joy piercing the air , and couples danced to the rhythm of the soft tune playing in the background .

No one was running away from being attacked , neither were they shouting like they had been a few minutes ago .

If anything , the noise I had heard was from a group of preteens playing in a corner .

Everything was fine .

I dont understand , I muttered , running a hand through my hair as I scanned the crowd , still trying to see if they were distressed or if this was part of some trick .

This doesnt make sense , I muttered again .

Didnt you hear when she said she saw some formless creatures attacking people ? Or was the mistake on my side ? I heard her clearly , I swear or did she say something else , Seth ? Seth adjusted the ceremonial dagger strapped to his waist as he sheathed it again , his brows were furrowed too .

I could tell he was as surprised as I was .

I dont know , Alpha .

I heard Cassidy say people were being attacked and then the shouts and all and also something about the attack .

being her fault .

But theres no sign of panic , no commotion .

If something happened , youd think wed see it by now I nodded , listeless still looking around .

Somethings not right , Seth .

I dont know what to make of all of these .

I just know that Cassidy sounded so certain .

Shes not that kind of person too .

She wouldnt resort to playing games like this , especially at this time .

Plus I know the kind of person she is .

Several pack members passing stopped to greet me with warm smiles and respectful bows , their eyes glowing either with admiration or pride as they stared at me but most of them were from White Moon Pack .

Since it was just the Alphas from other packs that we had invited , I decided to invite everyone from my pack to make my pack to make up for the scanty crowd we had .

I nodded absent mindedly as I turned to walk away .

Suddenly , Lennys voice called out .

When I turned , I saw him running towards me together with three gammas .

He had a surprised .

expression on his face as he came to me .

Alpha , I came as soon as I could .

But … he stopped and looked around .

Everything seems normal .

Your message was so urgent and we also heard screams too .

I didnt expect that it would be this 175 More Truths … My thoughts exactly .

Cassidy ran into my room , a few minutes ago and said they were being attacked .

Something about formless creatures doing the attacks but when we got here there was nothing except people just having the best time of their lives and I just checked , is it possible to get CCTV footage from minutes ago from the security department ? Im sure theres an explanation for this .

I already did that , Lenny replied .

Where is Cassidy ? And Miss Lyla ? One of the Gammas who had come with Lenny was bending now , sniffing something on the ground .

Gammas are known for their excellent tracking skills and their abilities to tell almost any creature apart using their smell or anything at all .

All they needed was just something tiny from the creature and they would be able to identify it .

No strange scents .

No signs of struggle and everything seems normal .

Maybe too normal , Lenny muttered .

Alpha , where is Cassidy and Miss Lyla ? I saw her a few .

hours ago and she mentioned helping the priestesses to prepare for the festival .

Do you know if shes done ? She was with me when Cassidy came … Lenny immediately , wiggled his eyebrow as if to question my motive but I shook my head .

She came for something else entirely .

She sought me first to tell me something when Cassidy came .

And you left both of them together ? Lenny asked , staring at me as if I was a baby .

I froze as it dawned on me .

Cassidy and Lyla , together in one room ? Why didnt I think of it ? Without another word , I turned and started hurrying towards the pack house .

I heard Seth tell the Gammas to stay behind while Lenny followed after me .

In a few strides , I reached the pack house and rushed to my room .

My blood ran cold when the door was open .

Rushing forward , I barged into the room and was surprised to see Cassidy lying .

lifelessly on the floor but there was no sign of Lyla .

Lenny rushed at Cassidy , checking her vitals while I searched around the room .

There was no single trace of Lyla .

I ran towards my closet , opening the drawers.

I was frantic .

I could feel Lax , panting with anxiety as if something had just happened too .

I went around checking the bathroom , at the corners and at every other place that I felt someone could hide but Lyla wasnt there .

I was looking for anything .

Could it be that whatever Cassidy has seen , succeeded in tricking me away from the room before attacking both Cassidy and Lyla ? Did it also take her ? What are you doing ? Lennys voice called out to me .

When I looked up , he was at the entrance of my closet looking at me .

He had a quiet expression on his face .

Im trying to find her , I responded automatically , closing the drawer .

Seriously / Lenny scoffed .

Even if she can fit into your drawer , I dont think she would be bold enough to hide there besides , her scent is everywhere but here .

I know youre panicking … 175 More Truths I am not ! I retorted , glaring at him .

Im just worried .

Fine , youre just worried but you cannot show that you are worried .

Your grandfather is heading here .

I just got a mindlink from Seth and it doesnt look good .

Listen , I also asked some warriors to take Cassidy to the pack hospital .

Her vitals are fine but you cannot mention Lyla .

Itll be suspicious .

Well , I should do something , go find her or something … I murmured .

Im tired of … The words were barely out of my mouth when the door of my room was pushed open and my grandfather stalked in shaking with anger .

Why are you still here ? Here ? I stared at him , confused at what he was raving about .

I dont understand .

I just received an intelligence report that theres a two tailed wolf in the pack house .

An Omega rushed to tell me .

It attacked , Cassidy … Cassidy ? my eyes widened with more surprise .

She didnt look like someone that was attacked by a werewolf .

More than anything , she seemed to have fainted and we already had her taken to the pack hospital .

And the two tailed wolf ? My grandfather bristled , peering at his watch with impatience .

Its almost time before the full moon comes out , if it does with that thing on the prowl then we might as well seek mercy in the hands of those Feral wolves .

No , Pop … I shook my head .

If its the same two tailed I saw then its come to save us … You know the werewolf ? My grandfather stopped me , his tone was filled with disappointment as if I had committed a heinous crime .

Youve been in contact with it and you let it go ? I shrugged .

Yes .

A few days ago , our surveillance caught her fighting and killing a lot of Ferals on our behalf .

Its not dangerous , Pop .

I saw it .

I know … In a flash , my grandfather covered the distance between us and landed a slap on my cheek .

He was vibrating with pure , intense rage and hatred , such that I had never seen before .

I didnt even think he was capable of that sort of violence to me more than anyone .

Its not dangerous ? he shouted Do you know what it did ? I lost everything because of it .

I lost my son my perfect son , right here in this packhouse and you have the guts to sit there and tell me its not dangerous ? Elder Eldric , Lenny came to stand in between us , I think you should walk away , youre too angry to hold this conversation .

Theyve been dead for years , Pop , I gritted my teeth , meeting his gaze coolly Its time you get over it and accept it and they died of a rogue attack .

You cannot blame it … He moved forward , probably to hit me again but thankfully Lenny intercepted it .

You foolish child ! My grandfather shouted .

His voice was thundering through the room now .

Your father and mother were murdered in their sleep by a two tailed wolf they had rescued from execution .

They took pity on it and brought it here , nursed it back to life and what did they
