The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

179 Earlier … Nathan I stormed out of the pack house , my frustration bubbling to the surface .

Immediately , I shifted .

Ragnar emerged with practised ease , his dark fur rippling in the moonlight as I caught Lylas scent in the wind .

The trails were fresh , tinged with blood from all the Ferals and Trinax she fought .

I followed her scent through the maze of mingling scents surrounding the White Moon Pack .

My paws pounded against the earth , as I pushed forward .

I tracked her through the territory , following a path that took me toward the White Moon Packs borders .

Almost at the borders , it veered off to the edge of the dense forest surrounding the packs territory .

As I approached the tree line , my hackles rose , indicating that someone was watching me .

I stopped for a moment ; my ears perked as I surveyed the area .

There was nothing … no one except me .

But something felt … off .

Shrugging it off , I prepared to enter the forest , since her scent was stronger in that direction .

Just then , a chilling sensation washed over me .

I wasnt alone .

Ragnar let out a low growl , as he whirled , muscled bunched ready for an attack only to find myself face to face with a familiar figure .

Standing a few yards away was it the same being that had been haunting me for a few months .

now .

Since that incident with Lyla at the White Lake pack .

Not only had I had several encounters with it , but It was also in my head .

Always suggesting devious motives .

All attempts to fight it with resources I know about and heard have proved abortive .

Hissing , I shifted back to my human form , ready for a fight as my expression hardened immediately .

What do you want ? I demanded , glaring at the being .

My voice was laced with irritation .

The being cocked its head , studying me with an unsettling calmness .

Then he approached me , taking measured steps .

I also noticed it had a thoughtful expression on its face .

How long have you known about Lylas wolf ? it asked .

I hissed , stepping around him as I moved toward the forest .

I had no time for games , not with Lylas scent growing fainter by the second plus the Harvest Moon would reach its peak any moment now , I had to reach Lyla first before anything .

As I moved , the being followed after me , clearly unperturbed by my silence .

I didnt know anything about that , it continued , its volce carrying an edge of curiosity .

But your calmness … you knew , didnt you ? I stopped abruptly , spinning to face it .

Why do you care ? It smiled faintly as if it was amused by my hostility .

Because I have Lylas interests at heart , a 179 Earlier … today .

I had instructed them not to harm the priestesses , but merely delay them .

I wasnt expecting a two tailed wolf to tear through them like they were nothing Thats life , I said flatly , as I shrugged and tried to move past it again .

It blocked my path again , forcing me to stop .

Have you made your decision yet ? I let out a frustrated sigh , running a hand through my hair .

Youre Xander , right ? Or is it the Dark One ? I said mockingly .

Listen carefully Im not going to do what you want .

You can ask me a thousand times , but my answer will always be No.

Im not joining your revenge scheme or whatever it is youre doing Xanders lips curled into a grin , his teeth gleaming in the moonlight .

You say that now , he said lightly .

But sooner or later , youll come looking for me .

Not on my life .

Not in this lifetime , I shot back .

His grin widened .

Fine , he shrugged .

You can tell yourself that but when it happens , remember I already told you .

Also , because of how much we share in common , let me tell you something .

His tone shifted to a conspirational glee .

Tonight , Ramsey will make a bold stance .

Hes going to announce to the world that he loves Lyla .

I scoffed .

Ramsey ? He wont .

Please , hes too self conscious to do something like that .

Want to bet ? Xanders smile widened , his eyes glinting with mischief .

I glared at his outstretched him , gritting my teeth in annoyance .

Xander continued .

No matter how hard you try to take Lyla for yourself or claim her , shell never be yours , Nathan .

You will never have her .

But if you join me … he leaned in closer , spreading his hands in magnanimous gesture .

… I would be kind enough to give her to you .

You mean join the suicide pogrom you have going on .

Do you want me to help you steal the power of the White Moon Throne ? You want me to assist you to rule my world and that Ill be under you ? You must be really insane .

If it worked in the past , it wont now … because your ideas are as stupid as you are .

He didnt say anything , he watched me for a minute before sighing .

Nathan , I never said anything about ruling you .

I just want to create a world where everyone is equal .

That is not possible , I said in a steely tone .

Nothing can be equal .

Besides , this clickbait you have going on is really lame .

I thought you had your act together .

I cant wait for Lyla to get back her powers and end you ? I intend not to be ended this time around , he said in a smug tone .

The last time I was ended , I had to wait for 10,000 s .

I cant again .

Anyways , you cannot marry , Lyla .

Your father is against it .

Luna Vanessa is against it .

She clearly suggested you marry her daughter Clarissa .

You will not tell me who to marry , Xander , I continued moving , stopping to sniff the air .

In my human form , I was slower .

179 Earlier … When Lyla finds out you lied to her ? What are you going to do about that ? That day in the room , you lied to her , to cover up the truth … how long … STAY AWAY FROM ME ! I turned to him , shouting .

Leave me alone .

Stop following me around like some deranged gods .

Are you truly the Dark ONE ? Because I can smell your desperation .

from a mile afar .

He paused , staring at me pointedly .

After a few seconds , he disappeared back into the shadows , leaving me alone .

I took a deep breath , shaking off the lingering unease before shifting back to Ragnar , letting hist senses guide me through the forest .

Lylas trail grew stronger , leading me to deeper into the forest .

Eventually , I found her .

She lay at the base of a massive oak tree , still in her wolf form which was sprawled out in exhaustion .

Her chest rose and fell with laboured breath and her white fur was matted with dirt and traces of blood .

Her twin tails were curled around her like a shield .

As I approached her , her ears twitched and she lifted her head weakly to look at me .

I changed back to my human form ; I didnt want to startle her .

Her eyes flashed with recognition when she saw it was me and laid back down .

I knelt beside her , reaching out to stroke her fur gently .

Its okay I murmured , with a low soothing voice .

There were several cuts and bruises all over her body and she seemed to be nursing her hind legs .

In this state , she wont be able to heal , unless she changes back into her human form .

She nuzzled my hand with her nose at some point , staring at me with soulful eyes .

As her breathing slowed , my free hand fished out the vial Nanny had given me .

Carefully , I uncorked it , the sharp scent of herbs wafting into the air .

Carefully , I held it to her mouth .

Drink , I urged softly .

The wolf hesitated , her eyes flicking between the vial and my face .

Then as if understanding my intent , she lapped at the poiton .

I glanced up at the sky , my heart pounding as I watched the moon inch closer to its fullest state .

Please I whispered , Please let it work .

Moments later , the transformation began .

Fur receded , and bones shifted until Lyla lay unconscious in my arms .

When the transformation was complete , I quickly shrugged off my jacket , draping it over her to shield her from the nights chill .

I cradled her carefully , one hand supporting her head as her eyes fluttered open .

For a moment , she gazed up at me with such tenderness that my heart clenched .

After a while , a faint smile appeared on her lips .

Ramsey she whispered .

Thank you .

170 Earlier Before closing her eyes again .

I stared down at her , as a storm of emotions swirled Within me .

[ pulled her closer , trying to ignore the way my chest ached .

Xanders words echoed in my mind .

No matter how much you try to claim Lyla for yourself , youll never truly have her .

But as I held her , I made a silent vow .

I didnt need Xander or his twisted bargains .

Whatever was in front , I would protect Lyla even if it meant knowing she would never choose me .

I would let my heart break into a thousand pieces before I let Ramsey have her .
