55 The awakening song … 

Lyla 

A few minutes later I was dressed in the ceremonial outfit .

The clothes looked unexpectedly good on me .

I met Xander at the bottom of the stairs , his eyes glowing with adoration as I came down .

“ You look so beautiful ! ” he sighed , reaching for my hand .

I smiled at him and allowed him to lead me towards his car .

We drove in silence .

I was trying to formulate an escape plan by trying to remember the road , using houses , trees or whatever my brain can remember as landmarks .

Finally , we arrived at what looked like an abandoned warehouse .

He guided me towards a hidden entrance and we started descending into what looked like an underground tunnel .

The walls were lined with flickering torches .

The air was damp and thick with an unfamiliar scent that made my skin crawl .

As we walked deeper into the tunnel , my anxiety grew .

I had no idea was awaited me at the end of this path but strangely , every step felt familiar .

Like , I’ve done this before .

You know that hazy feeling you get but your brain cannot remember ? Yes ! That’s the onc .

When we finally emerged from the tunnel , my eyes widened in shock .

The space we had entered was large , like an underground Cathedral .

The ceiling stretched high above , disappearing into .

darkness and it was filled with more people than I could count .

They all seemed to notice Xander’s presence at once because they suddenly turned and in unison bowed their heads in reverence , but none of them paid me any attention which I liked or maybe not .

They were humans clearly , and I was hoping I could get them to help me but … their loyalty was to someone else already .

I leaned toward Xander .

“ Who are all these people ? ” I whispered , my curiosity getting the better of me .

“ They’re recruits , ” Xander explained softly , with pride in his eyes and his hand resting on the small of my back .

“ They’re humans willing to join me in creating a new world .

But they can’t fully join yet .

I mean , they’ll go through training like the ones before them but they cannot transform yet .

Only you can give them the ability to shift into their wolf forms .

” 

My heart pounded in my chest .

Xander wanted to make humans , Wolves ? Was that even possible ? 

– 

* If Werewolves can take up their nature become humans , they can also become your kind , ” he explained as if sensing my doubt .

“ But out of all the mythical creatures , why did you choose us ? I mean , you could have gone for Vampires … ” 

“ Too messy ! ” he scoffed .

“ They have a lot of allergies and are not easily adaptable .

Perhaps we can admit them in our new world but I intend to wipe them off the face of the earth .

It’s no use .

” 

55 The awakening song … 

I swallowed hard .

“ You … You want to kill the vampires ? ” 

He nodded .

“ And every other creature that is not Werewolves or on the brighter side , we could admit them into the new world but that’s yet to be seen .

You know , Werewolves have the balance I want and need from Mythical creatures .

They’re closer to the Moon Goddess and easier to be turned into anything .

Once they become like the Ferals , you’d see , they will never need the Moon Goddess ever again and I will reign supreme .

# 

I didn’t respond , I didn’t know what to say .

My mind was reeling from all the information .

Thousands of humans waiting to be changed into werewolves and then wiping the entire 

mythical world .

I didn’t need anyone to tell me that it would create an unbalance in the universe but the man beside me , didn’t seem to be considering that and he didn’t look like he cared either .

We reached the end of the hall and turned into a long corridor , walking until we came to a heavy set of doors .

Xander pushed them open , revealing a Moonlit clearing .

Immediately , I saw the clearing , I panicked .

This must be the site of the ceremony Xander had spoken of .

The full moon hung low and heavy in the sky as if , if I stood on my toes , I could really touch it – bathing everything in its silver glow .

There was a circle of standing stones with one large stone in the middle of it that looked like it could fit in two people .

The surfaces of the standing stones were etched with symbols , I didn’t recognise but somehow felt I should .

“ Beautiful , isn’t it ? ” Xander murmured , his eyes fixed on the moon above .

“ It’s called the Astral Moon or as the Humans call it – the Gemini Moon .

The perfect setting for our union .

” 

My heart was pounding so loud , I could hear it .

I had to replace a way out of his , and fast .

I could .

make out shadows in the bushes surrounding the clearing and I pressed closer to Xander .

“ There’s something in the bush ! ” I whispered .

“ It’s the Ferals – a few of them and their Trinaxes .

They’ll stand as witness to our bond .

Now ! ” he turned to me , taking both of my hands in his .

“ I know this all feels strange but in time you’ll come to realize that doing this is the best decision you’ve ever made .

” 

“ Yeah ! ” I nodded with a strained smile .

“ What will happen afterwards ? ” I asked , looking for a way to delay him while I think of an escape which seemed impossible but I had to try .

“ You never told 

me .

” 

“ I will , after the ceremony .

Now come ! ” he pulled me towards the clearing .

I followed him stiffly .

His grip on me tightened as he led me towards the centre of the stones .

With a flick of his hand , a glowing light appeared lighting all the standing stones , the words on them came alive and the stones emitted a strange hum , an energy that made my skin crawl .

Yet everything felt so familiar .

I was trying to push through the haziness of the familiarity that tugged at my mind as the glow of the light heightened .

With Xander and the Ferals lurking in the bush around us , there seemed to be no way of escape .

( 55 The awakening song … 

We stopped at the very centre of the clearing , the moonlight bathing us in an ethereal glow .

Xander turned to me , his expression soft yet determined .

He removed the outer robe of his clothing , letting it pool at his feet .

Then he came to where I stood and removed my robe , leaving m 

in the slip underneath .

He kissed my shoulders , leaving small bite marks on my neck .

I moaned , suddenly forgetting that I was supposed to be planning my escape .

Here , with the Trinax and the Ferals lurking around in the bush , I felt warmth course through my body … an excitement that I only feel during my heat .

Yet , it wasn’t even my heat .

I turned to him , reaching for his lips .

We kissed with a sense of urgency we’d never used before .

His tongue twirled around mine , his hands fiddling and touching every part of my body and boy ! Xander knew all the sweet spots .

His hands settled on my woman core , rubbing it through the sheer slip .

I arched into his touch , letting him do with my body as he pleased .

After a while of kissing and fondling , he took a step backwards from me .

I was already riled up, panting and wondering why he stopped .

He reached into his pockets and pulled out a small piece of parchment .

“ Before we begin ,” he said , his voice low and hoarse , “ I need you to sing this .

” He handed me the parchment , his fingers lingering for a moment as if reluctant to let go .

I glanced down at the paper .

The words were written in symbols but somehow , I could understand .

I interpreted the first line : 

“ From shadows deep , a whisper calls , 

Ancient power behind stone walls , 

Locked away by time’s decree , 

Now stirring , longing to be free .

” 

Immediately I read the words , they formed a song , and I could almost hear the melody in my heart .

I didn’t know how I knew , but the moment I read the words , it felt as though they 

belonged to me as if they had always been a part of me .

“ What is this ? ” I whispered .

“ It’s a song for the Moonsinger , Xander replied , his eyes glowing faintly in the moonlight .

“ It will help you channel your power .

Your voice can calm the wild and heal the broken .

This song will awaken that part of you .

” 

I stared at the parchment , my hand pounding .

I didn’t want to sing .

I didn’t want to be a part of this .

But as I looked around , surrounded by the 

Tals whose eeric red eyes I could see in the bushes , I realized I had no choice .

If I didn’t do this , who knew what Xander would do next ? 

“ I thought you said it was going to be a union .

Why do I need to sing ? It’s not like we need my power to be joined .

” 

A faint smile appeared on his face as he came to me again , raising my cheeks tenderly .

“ I know we don’t need to but we need to draw power from the Moon to light up that stone … ” he paused an nointed at the middle stone surrounded by the standing stones “ We need to onen in the

world of the ethereal and draw power from the elements .

You and me … so it would be a perfect 

union .

Something was wrong , I could feel it .

This wasn’t right but … I had no choice .

So I nodded , cleared my throat and began to croon the words .
