The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 47

47 Breaking free ….

Lyla 

I stood , stunned at Nanny’s words , trying to process her demand to break up with Xander .

It made me speechless but only for a moment .

Then slowly , a laugh bubbled up from my chest as I crossed my arms .

“ Break up with him ? ” I repeated .

“ You have no right to tell me that .

You cannot ask me to break up with him .

There’s no reason for that .

” 

“ It’s for your own 

good , Lyla ! ” Nanny sighed .

“ You’ll thank me later , I promise you .

” 

“ No ! ” I scoffed .

“ Who do you think you are to make such decisions for me ? My mother ? ” 

I paused , trying to fight the tears at the back of my throat .

“ Newsflash : You’re not .

I’ll be twenty soon .

I’m an adult and I can make decisions about who I date or who not to date .

” 

Nanny clenched her teeth , her fists tightening at her sides .

“ Well , young lady you’re still 19.

And you’re living under my roof , cating the food I put on the table .

I take care of you ; I buy every fucking thing you need .

That’s the least you owe me , to do as you’re told .

” 

The curse word hung in the air between us .

In all the years we’ve been living together , I’ve never heard her use foul language .

I knew I should back down by now but I was too angry to care about anything else .

“ No ! ” I shot back .

“ What I owe you is gratitude for taking care of me all these years not blind obedience for the future .

You’re just jealous .

You hate that I’ve broken free , that I’ve finally gotten away from the chains of our family and our laws that held me bound all these years .

Well , guess what ? I’m going to live my life on my terms , whether you approve of it or not .

And if you’re so tired of fending for me , maybe I’ll just leave ” 

Nanny chuckled dryly .

“ Jealous of you ? For what reason , Lyla ? What about you triggers jealousy ? The fact that your father rejected you and doesn’t give a fuck about you .

You think this is about being jealous ? ” 

She shook her head , her voice growing stronger as she continued .

“ A relationship that makes you skip school , submit assignments late , go to class late , skip classes and Moon knows what else that’s not the good kind , Lyla .

You’re supposed to be winning together and not slinking into this … this … ” she trailed off shaking her head .

“ Since you met that boy , Xander , everything about you has changed .

You dress more ….

seductively , keep late nights , lied to me consistently about school work when you were barely getting anything done and how many days have you taken off from the café ? You’ve been neglecting everything you’ve worked for , everything we’ve worked for .

Lyla , I need you to come to your senses , something is suspicious about all of this and the mark … ” she trailed off again .

I rolled my eyes .

“ You’re so dramatic .

“ I am trying to protect you ! ” she velled .

“ And don’t think I haven’t noticed the sex toys in your

room .

I’m trying , Lyla … I’ve convinced myself that you missed out on a lot of things as a teenager and this is just a phase but let’s face it , Lyla … I’m sick of doing this .

You have to grow up and I mean it .

This is not the pack house where you had everyone at your beck and call … here you have to work really hard to get anything you want and that means you have to do good in 

school .

” 

“ You’ve been snooping through my stuff ? ” I screamed , taking a step towards her .

* Something is wrong , I can feel it .

Something about Xander doesn’t feel right and my instincts never lie .

Why didn’t he show up at the beginning of the school year which is the right time for students to transfer ? He shows up in the middle of the year , and just likes you like that ? Do you think this is what love looks like ? You’re throwing your life away for a boy you barely know ! For a boy who had done nothing but drag you down .

Take it from me , Lyla … it never ends well ! ” a 

I felt my face flush with anger .

“ I don’t need your protection ! ” I snapped .

“ You’re just mad because I’m not your little puppet anymore .

Do you think you can control me just because you’ve looked after me all these years ? Well , I don’t need you ! ” z 

Nanny’s face went pale , her hands trembled as she struggled to contain her emotions.

For a moment , she looked so small , so defeated and I felt almost a pang of guilt .

Almost .

“ You know what ? ” I snapped .

“ I think I’ve overstayed my welcome .

” 

With that , I turned on my heel and stormed up the stairs , my heart pounding furiously in my chest .

Without stopping to think , I grabbed a small bag from my closet and began shoving clothes into it , ignoring the tears stinging my eyes .

I wasn’t going to let Nanny or anyone control me again .

When I came back downstairs , Nanny was standing by the door .

When she saw me , her eyes widened with fear , her earlier anger replaced by desperation .

“ What are you doing ? ” she asked .

“ Leaving ! ” I replied moving to the door .

“ I think I’ve been a burden to you for so long .

I’ll just try and figure out what to do with the rest of my life .

“ Lyla please ! ” she begged , reaching out to hold me , but I shrugged her off .

“ Don’t do this .

We can talk about it .

Just … just calm down and think this through .

” 

“ There’s nothing to talk about , ” I threw her a cold stare .

“ In fact , I’m done talking , ” I added , not sparing her a second glance as I opened the door and stepped outside .

“ Where will you go ? Nanny cried , following me as I strode down the road .

“ Lyla , please ! You’re not thinking straight ! ” 

I ignored her and continued walking .

“ Lyla please ! ” Nanny’s voice cracked but my heart was already hardened .

I’ll have to figure out my life now .

I marched down the street , refusing to turn back .

When I was a few blocks away , I pulled out my phone and called for a taxi .

Within minutes , a car pulled up and I threw my back into the backseat , sliding in without hesitation .

As the car drove away , I looked back one last time , seeing Nanny standing in the

doorway , sobbing silently .

But I didn’t feel guilty .

Not anymore .

I was free .

I pulled up at Xander’s house a few moments later .

It was as I remembered it sleck , modern and always a little too perfect .

After I paid the driver , I stood on the sidewalk for some minutes , silently regretting why I had left the house .

Maybe I had been too hasty in my decision .

What if Xander turned me away ? What if his father refused to let me stay ? He was the only person I knew in this world I didn’t have friends .

Before I could lose my nerve , I marched up to the front door and rang the bell .

Seconds later , the door swung open to reveal Mr Dupree .

His eyes took in my appearance and without saying a word , he retreated into the house .

A second later , Xander was standing in front of me .

“ Lyla ? ” he said , his eyes wide with surprise .

“ What are you doing here ? Is everything okay ? Did I miss out on a date ? ” 

The sight of him , made something inside me shift and suddenly , I was in his arms , sobbing into his chest .

He held me close , murmuring soothing words as he guided me inside .

When my tears finally subsided , I looked up to replace him looking at me with worry .

“ Hey , babe , ” he murmured , kissing the top of my head .

“ What happened ? What’s going on ? ” 

I melted into his embrace again , burying my face in his chest as I let out a shaky breath .

“ I had a fight with Nanny , ” I muttered .

He raised an eyebrow .

“ A fight ? About what ?? 

I shrugged , trying to make it sound normal .

“ She doesn’t like you , ” I said quietly .

“ You were right , telling her about our relationship will make it worse .

She found out today and she wasn’t happy about it .

She asked me to break up with you .

She thinks I’ve changed because of you ! ” 

He chuckled , an amused glint in his eyes as he pulled me into his lap , pressing tiny kisses on my exposed shoulder .

“ Well , of course , you’ve changed ,” he said .

“ You’re finally becoming your own person , Lyla .

She doesn’t want to lose control of you .

That’s Sigma Wolves for you !” 

“ Sigma Wolves ? ” I arched a brow at him .

“ No ! Nanny is an Omega ! ” 

He just smiled , wiping my eyes with his hand .

“ You’re welcome to say here , forever , if you want .

” “ Really ? ” I shifted from his lap to the couch , looking towards the kitchen where I had seen his father go in .

“ Won’t you ask your dad first ? He’s supposed to … ” 

He placed his index finger on my lips , before the rest of the words came out .

“ Don’t worry , he won’t mind .

“ Still … 1 stuttered .

“ Dad ! ” he suddenly yelled , his gaze on me .

“ Is it okay for Lyla to stay with us until , when she’s tired of staying ? ” he asked .

“ Yes ! ” Mr Dupree’s voice came from the kitchen .
