The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 53

53 Revelations and confrontations … 

Lyla 

I pressed against the door as panic clawed in my throat .

I reached for the doorknob again , yanking it furiously .

“ Just let me go , Xander .

I’ll think about your offer and … ” 

“ You won’t ! ” he gave me a sad smile .

“ You can’t wait to leave here , I can see it in your eyes .

” 

I back to the door and began pounding , screaming with all my might as tears streamed down my face .

“ You’ll hurt yourself ,” he said behind me .

“ Just let me go ! ” I cried , turning to face him again .

“ Please ! Please , let me go ! I don’t part of anything .

I am not who you want .

I just want a normal life ! I want to go back to my normal , boring life ! ” 

But he remained silent … through all of my tantrums , repeated knocking on the door , calling out to anyone – even Mr Dupree ; watching me with an expression mingled with sadness and frustration .

Eventually , my strength gave our 

I collapsed onto the floor , my body heaving with sobs as I 

buried my face in my hands , feeling defeated .

“ I don’t want this , I choked out between gasps .

“ I’ve suffered more than anyone to go back to this life , Xander .

Please … just let me go .

I promise , not even a word to Nanny .

It’ll be a secret 

between us .

” 

He came and knelt beside me , close but not touching .

“ Lyla ! ” he whispered .

“ You’re special … too special to have a normal life .

Someone like you … because of what you are … normality was never

an option .

” 

I shook my head , too tired to argue anymore .

Too broken to fight .

My body trembled as I felt him gently lift me from the floor , carrying me in his arms like a bride – like I was something precious , I was too weak to resist … and somehow , my broken heart wanted this but with a different person , 1 

I wished more than anything that right now , this was Ramsey … holding onto me , telling me not to go .

I sighed as he deposited me onto the bed with care like I was a newborn .

He reached for a soft towel inside a bowl of warm water by the bed and began to clean my tear – stained face with such tenderness that I felt my resolve wavering .

His touch was achingly familiar , a reminder of the man I thought I knew the man I had begun to love .

Carefully , he continued cleaning the rest of my body.

His touch was so intentional , so caring that my heart ached in confusion .

How could he be the monster they claimed he was and yet treat me with such kindness ? 

The fight had drained out of me .

Maybe , this wasn’t a bad idea after all .

I mean , I didn’t know so much about the bad blood between him and the Moon Goddess , all the history books were always scanty and the people who did know preferred not to talk about it .

53 Revelations and confrontations … 

I had an advantage here … he loved me or so he claimed but he liked me to an extent where I know he won’t randomly kill me at least .

So , perhaps if I play along … then everything will be fine .

” 

“ Maybe , I should stop fighting you ….

” I murmured gazing at him .

“ I’ll stop fighting you .

“ You’re not going to kill me , after all , are you ? ” 

He paused , a soft smile touching his lips as he sighed with relief .

“ I had never thought of hurting you … not even when you killed me .

That’s how much I love you and … ” 

Before he could finish , there was a knock at the door .

My heart lurched as I heard the familiar sound .

The door creaked open and Mr Dupree stepped inside , holding Xander’s phone in his hand .

“ Master ,” he said quietly .

“ She’s been calling nonstop ; you need to answer or she’ll begin to 

worry ! 

Xander nodded and took the phone , ignoring the call as he turned to Dupree .

“ Apologize to 

her ! ( 2 

Dupree paused for a minute and turned to him , a surprised look on his face .

“ What do you mean ? ” he asked .

“ You made her scared the other nights and then the injury at the Northern Forests , I told you it was too deep .

It still aches her occasionally .

You should apologize to her for that .

” 

“ But … ” Mr Dupree began to say but with one look on Xander’s face , he turned to me , a cold smile glittering in his eyes .

“ I’m sorry , Miss .

It won’t happen again .

I will no longer come to you in your dream .

“ You can do that ? ” I asked eyeing him .

“ It’s one of my many specialities , he gave me an evil grin .

I control the dream world … I feed on your thoughts and fuel your weaknesses and insecurities .

” 

“ Mind controlling in the dream world ? ” I huffed .

“ That’s so shallow .

Anyways , I forgive you .

You saved me from the Panther that other day .

Thank you ! ” 

He looked at me for a minute before bowing curtly and stepping out of the room .

As soon as we were alone , Xander turned to me .

“ Don’t trust a Trinax … they’re vengeful creatures … very much .

” 

“ I thought Panthers were ! ” 

“ They’re worse than Panthers .

Remember not to look at his face longer than ten seconds if he ever appears to you in your dream .

He won’t now but he would later .

Let me know if you dream about him .

“ I’m not going to be a snitch between you and one of your generals ! ” I huffed .

“ Can’t you tell if he’s in my dreams ? Surely , you have enough power to do that .

” 

“ I used to have ! ” he gave me a quiet smile , crossing the room to deposit the towel and the bowl on the vanity “ But you took them away .

That was the first thing she did when the Moon Goddess began to poison her heart slowly .

She severed all of our connections .

I couldn’t smell

her her scent … ” 

“ Is that why you used to be super comfortable with me whenever I’m on my heat ? ” I asked my eyes widening with shock .

He nodded , returning to the bed , with a steaming tea cup .

“ Chamomile tea ! ” he said and stretched it before me .

He must have seen the fear in my eyes because he lifted the cup and drank from it .

“ I won’t harm you , Lyla ! ” he said quietly an amused smile on his face .

“ There are no horns on my head … and this is my true form , don’t worry .

Although I’m a lot bigger than this I had to size down to fit a typical human student but I don’t bite .

I won’t hurt you .

” 

Still , I raised the cup to my lips and pretended as I drank it before dropping the cup on the bedside table .

.

“ So , Neriah took your sense of smell ? ” I asked , trying to gather as much information as I could .

“ Yes ! ” he nodded , tugging stray hairs away from my face to the back of my ears .

“ She 

at some point took my vision but during our last fight before well , she killed me weakened me because I cannot die , she gave it back to me .

She said that if she didn’t then it wouldn’t be fair .

” “ Wow ! ” I chuckled raising the cup to my lips again and pretending to sip .

“ That’s a lot to unpack ! ” “ That’s why I needed the Trinax to give you a mark , for easy identification .

I must say the presence of the Ferals at the place where you were when you were healing alarmed you kind but I made sure they didn’t hurt anyone .

” 

“ They did ! ” I countered , remembering the day I was leaving White Moon Pack .

They attacked a lot of people in the lower villages and injured them .

A few people died too .

” 

“ That’s because they attacked first .

Although Ferals are subject to the Trinax’s commands in certain situations they go Feral and cannot be stopped immediately .

Your kind fears what they cannot control .

A wolf lying by itself , not attacking you is no threat .

” 

“ Aren’t those Ferals the wolves you promised a New World , why are they stuck in their wolf form ? That’s too harsh , don’t you think .

” 

He smiled , shaking his head .

“ To transform your kind into a level of bliss and peace , they need to be in their original form but they can transform .

With the power of a Moonsinger who heals … and tames .

You can do that and they would be able to have their human form , while still retaining their Feral Wolve form .

“ And that’s why you need me ? ” 

He didn’t answer immediately , he stared at me for a few seconds before nodding .

“ But I will not force you into whatever you’re not comfortable with .

I do not force anyone , Lyla .

Every of your kind who joined me joined on their own free will .

So , even if you want to or not , it’s fine .

I’m just happy that we’re reunited .

That’s all .

” 

The phone rang again and I stopped speaking as I watched him stare at the screen for a while before raising it to his ear .

“ Hello ! ” 

53 Revelations and confrontations … 

It was Nanny’s voice .

It was tiny but I could tell it was her .

Hope surged through me .

With the strength I didn’t know I still possessed , I lunged forward , screaming .

“ Nanny ! He’s kidnapped me and … ” 

Before I could finish , Xander’s hand shot out .

A burst of blue energy erupted from his palm , engulfing me .

The rest of my words died on my lips , my body went limp and the world faded into black the second time .
