The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 31

31 The girl who disowned her 

parents … 

Lyla 

Sunlight streamed through the curtains , casting a warm glow across my bedroom .

I stirred , my eyes fluttering open as I gradually came to consciousness .

For a moment , I lay still , enjoying the comfort of my bed and the peaceful quiet of the morning .

It had been weeks since I’d last set foot in school and today will mark my long – awaited return .

I stretched lazily , feeling the dull ache on my back .

Although I had healed completely , I still felt an occasional twinge on my back .

I trudged to the mirror in my room and stood before it , gazing at the girl who stared back at me .

The girl who left school all those weeks ago was not the same one preparing to return .

A soft knock sounded on my door before it was pushed open .

When I turned , it was my Nanny , Miriam at the door .

Her eyes widened when she saw me and 

immediately , she rushed to where I stood .

“ Lyla dear , are you sure you should be standing ? Remember … ” 

“ I’m fine , Nan ! ” I replied with a smile “ Honestly , I am .

I feel better than I have in days plus I’ll be going to school today and if I ever need to catch up on school work , I have to resume today .

” 

“ Your health comes first , Lyla , ” she sighed steering to the bed “ How about you resume next week ? I already spoke with your teachers and a lot of them are willing to let you retake most of the tests done in your absence .

” 

“ That’s why I need to go to school , today .

I cannot miss another of those mid – term tests , remember our exams are around the corner , ther a lot for me to catch up with .

” 

“ Fine! ” she sighed patting my hand gently “ But how are you feeling … ” she paused as if contemplating if she should ask me or not .

“ When you first arrived , you looked so … sad , broken , worn out and maybe it’s just my imagination or I am worrying but … what happened when you got home ? Do you think you can tell me 

now ? ”

.

“ I already told you , Nan ! ” I rose from my bed and crossed the room to my reading table , stuffing my school bag with books .

“ I disgraced my parents at the Gala and I decided to disown them to save them from 

further embarrassment .

End of story .

” 

“ You already told me that , but how did you get injured ? ” 

I had deliberately skipped that part because for me to be in the Northern Forest which was far away from home , I must have been on my way to the White Mountains .

But I didn’t want to keep the truth away from Miriam .

She was my best friend and we always tell each other stuff .

Still , would she believe me 

told her I had found my 

mate and he was the Lycan Leader ? 

“ I’ll tell you later ! ” I gave her an apologetic smile “ When I’m ready and that’s because I do not want to lie to you , so , please don’t press any further .

” 

“ Fine ! ” she sighed rising from the bed too .

“ Hurry up then , we don’t want to be late for school today .

” 

An hour later , I came out of the shower and reached for my phone , intending to check for any messages

from Nathan but my heart sank slightly as I saw he still 

hadn’t read my text since last night .

We’ve been in constant communication since I left 

Blue Ridge but for some reason , he has been silent since yesterday .

“ Odd ! ” I thought to myself wondering what could have happened .

Maybe he was busy with Pack Patrol or his Alpha training and hasn’t had time for his phone .

Pushing aside every worrying thought , I moved over to my wardrobe , pausing as I considered what to wear .

Today , I wanted to make a statement – I felt free for the first time in years and I’ve done something a lot of done – I disowned my teenagers wish they could h parents .

A smile settled on my face as I rummaged through my clothes , rejecting the baggy sweaters , oversized hoodies and jeans I’d once hidden behind .

Instead , I selected a fitted black leather jacket with silver zippers glinting in the morning light .

I paired it with dark wash skinny jeans that hugged my curves accentuating my lean figure .

31 The girl who disowned her parents … 

For my top , I chose a deep crimson blouse with a subtle V – neck , that hinted at my cleavage .

The fabric was soft against my skin , reminding me of the newfound confidence I carried within .

I turned my attention to my long chestnut hair , gazing at the prominent Silver stripe on the hair .

It has always been a source of ridicule from my classmates because of how weird I always looked with it .

I’d often kept it pulled back in a messy bun or hidden under a beanie but not today .

I took my time , carefully straightening each strand until it fell in glossy waves over my shoulders .

I proceeded to apply a light layer of makeup , nothing .

too dramatic but just enough to enhance my natural look .

By the time I was done , barely recognized the girl staring back at me .

Grabbing my backpack , I made my way downstairs .

As I entered the kitchen , my Nanny looked up from the pot she had on the stove , nearly dropping the spoon she had in her hand .

“ Moons ! ” she gasped , her eyes wide “ Lyla ? Is that you ? ” 

I couldn’t help but chuckle , feeling at ease at her

reaction .

“ Yes , Nan … it’s me .

” 

She shook her head , a smile spreading across her face .

“ You look … different and in a good way .

Grown up .

I hardly recognized you .

“ .

“ Thank you , ” I replied .

“ I think it’s time I stop looking like the girl with the world’s burden on her shoulders .

I disowned my parents , what is the worst that can happen to me now ? ” 

“ Well , your new look suits you but … don’t you think it’s a bit too much ? Are you comfortable like that ? ” 

I stared at my outfit risking a laugh .

“ This is the most comfortable that I have ever been and today is the day I stop hiding , ” I added grabbing a slice of toast from the counter and an apple .

“ I’ll meet you at the café after school , ” I called behind my back before slipping out of 

the house .

Twenty minutes later , I wanted the ground to open and swallow me .

Everyone was staring at me … not in the humankind of ‘ She’s hot ‘ or ‘ Who’s that girl ‘ kind of way but in the ‘ What did she do ? ‘ 

Still , I marched forward .

Everything had changed since that day since my father had found me soaking wet

in my school corridor , humiliated by my classmates .

I had faced dangers , far greater than school bullies .

I had found my mate , even if he had turned out to be cold and cruel .

I had stood up to my family and had liberated myself from them .

And today , I was going to liberate myself from the foment of my classmates .

I took a deep breath as I approached the school gates , with my head held high I strolled into the building .

Whispers followed me as I walked down the hallway to my locker , some people pointed at me , while others gawked openly .

“ Is that Lyla ? The freak ? ” they whispered .

“ The girl who was always hiding in corners and crying in the bathroom ? ” 

I grabbed a few books for the morning lesson and continued to my class – let them stare , I thought .

I was used to it already .

I had just settled on my desk at the back of the glass , ignoring all the whispers around me , when Mrs Caldwell , our English AP teacher arrived .

She cleared her throat , silencing the chatter .

“ Alright class … ah ! Lvla ! ” she said with a genuine smile on her

face when she spotted me “ Are you back ? We called 

your guardian and she said you had something urgent to go do at home .

” 

“ Yes ma’am ,” I nodded flashing her a smile “ I’m glad to be back .

Sorry , I left without any prior notice .

” 

“ No worries , dear .

I’m glad you’re back .

Anyways ! ” she turned her attention to the class .

“ Today , we’ll be diving into Margaret Atwood’s ‘ The Handmaid’s Tale ‘ and I want us to focus on the themes of power dynamics and societal control .

Who wants to start us off ? ” 

A few hands shot up , but to everyone’s surprise , including my own .

I was among them , for the first time .

Mrs Caldwell’s eyebrows raised slightly as she nodded in my direction .

“ Yes , Lyla ? ” 

I took a deep breath before I spoke .

“ I think one of the most striking aspects of the novel is how the concept .

of freedom , or rather , the lack of it .

The way , the author portrays Gilead’s oppressive regimes shows how easily personal liberties can be stripped away under the guise of protection or societal good .

“ Yeah , and it’s not just about physical freedom .

Mental and emotional control is just as important , ” Jessica one of my classmates added .

“ Excellent points , Lyla and Jessica , ” Mrs Caldwell nodded approvingly .

“ Lyla , would you like to elaborate more on what Jessica said ? ” 

Just as I was about to speak , a knock sounded on the door of the classroom and the student counsellor Ms 

Hayley ushed in a young man .

“ I’m so sorry for interrupting , ” she rushed to the middle of the class with an apologetic smile on her face .

“ We have a transfer student today , let’s welcome 

him … ” 

But it wasn’t the transfer student that caught my eye .

Behind the transfer student , stood a tall , lean man with salt – and – pepper hair and piercing dark eyes , dressed in an impeccable suit , looking completely out of place … R 

He looked strangely familiar , a chill ran down my spine as I continued staring at him , unable to look away .

His lips curled into a smile as our gaze met and held .

Who was he ?
