The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 61

61 The awakening … 

Present Day 

Lyla 

With trembling hands , I lifted the paper closer and began to croon the words softly , my voice shaky at first .

Suddenly , my voice tuned in with the melody that I should be singing with the song , then a strange sensation began to wash over me .

A warmth spread through my chest , radiating out to my fingertips and toes .

It was as if the song itself was breathing life into me , filling me with energy I’d never felt before .

My voice grew stronger , and I felt myself take my eyes off the paper , lifting my eyes to the sky as the rest of the song rolled onto my tongue .

The more the melody rolled off my mouth , the more exhilarating and terrifying and disconnected I felt from my own body , as though something else was guiding me .

I tried to focus my gaze on Xander who stood in front of me now , his hands placed on the stone in the middle of the standing stones .

“ You see , Lyla ? This is who you are .

This is the power you hold .

Don’t hold back Lyla , let it all 

out .

” 

I faltered , my voice wavering but the power was too much .

I wanted to stop , but I couldn’t .

The song was pulling me in , deeper and deeper until I felt like I was drowning in the melody .

Xander closed his eyes , head tilted back as the air around us began to shimmer , as I continued singing , a thin thread of silvery light emerged from my chest , it was invisible at first but began to grow stronger with each note .

It passed from me , and hit the stone in the middle of the standing stones , turning it on .

I could see more ancient text written on it .

Then the silvery threat extended to Xander , plunging into his heart causing his body to jerk as if he was struck by lightning .

I wanted to stop ; I was forcing myself to stop but it was impossible now .

More words came to my mouth , I wasn’t even thinking , I couldn’t .

Xander’s skin began to glow from within , I could see the veins in his arms , turning silver as the ground between his cracked .

His body trembled , his head thrown back as he let out a low growl , the sound rumbling deep in his chest .

The power clawed its way out of the depths of his soul , burning through him li wildfire .

His eyes burned bright , glowing with a fierce light , and tendrils of dark energy swirled around him , coiling through the air like snakes .

At the same time , I felt something strange happening to me as well .

I could feel my connection to Xander at the moment intensifying .

The silver threat of energy connected to the stone , binding us together as I sang .

My senses sharpened , my vision became clearer and my hearing too .

I could hear the soft rustle of leaves in the far distance , the whisper of the wind , the faint hum of energy in the air .

My heartbeat slowed and I felt light , almost weightless as if I was just floating above the ground .

61 The awakening … 

knees buckled and he dropped to the ground , his fingers clawing at the earth as he tried to steady himself .

Xander threw back his head , his eyes glowing red , he roared , and the sound echoed through the night , shaking the earth .

Dark spirals of energy shot from his hands , going up to the skies .

The silver thread between us suddenly flared , turning brighter than before for a moment and suddenly , it snapped as if someone had cut it .

I swayed , lifting my hands as the last note of the song faded and everything settled .

I swayed backwards , catching myself before I hit the ground .

I felt so weak so I just stood there , dazed , my heart pounding in my chest my body tingling with energy .

I blinked and slowly everything returned to normal and the glowing redness in Xander’s eyes faded .

Our eyes met and for a brief moment , I saw something in him that I hadn’t been there before .

There were three stars on his forehead .

He staggered towards me ; his eyes filled with 

excitement .

“ Lyla , ” he whispered , his voice filled with awe and wonder .

“ You … you did it .

You gave me back everything .

” 

I looked at him confused ; my throat felt dry as if I had just gone for days without drinking water .

“ What did I give you ? ” I croaked .

“ Everything ” he murmured , reaching for my hand as he pulled me closer .

His voice was soft , but now , there was an edge of command in it .

“ Now , it’s time we take the blood oath , get joined to each other forever .

You’ll stay beside me now and I’ll make you powerful .

” 

My head snapped up ; my heart resumed its pounding as I looked into his eyes .

He pulled out a small silver dagger from within his robe , then took my hand , turning my palm upward .

“ You must mind yourself to me , Lyla .

You must choose me for eternity .

We’ll remain together as 

what we want , he whispered , gently tracing one .

Me and you … We’ll finally shape the world int the line of my hand with his finger .

“ No ! ” I murmured weakly , trying to pull away from him but his grip tightened .

“ It’s the only way , he insisted , his voice filled with a roughness that wasn’t there before .

“ You and I were meant to be together .

I’ve forgiven you for everything you’ve done to me .

Once we do this , you’ll understand everything .

You’ll see .

” 

“ No ! ” I repeated , louder this time , pushing him away from me as I swayed backwards .

“ I don’t want to , Xander ” I slurred .

“ I don’t want to be part of anything .

But he wasn’t listening , he grabbed me anyway , ignoring my futile and weak attempts at fighting him off .

He raised the dagger , and in one fluid motion , slanted it across my palm , making me yelp weakly with pain .

Then he repeated the same thing with himself then let the silver blade clatter to the ground .

He reached for me again , kissing me , running his other hand through my body … despite the pain I felt , despite the weakness in my bones , I reacted to him , instinctively , pressing against him as his tongue swirled through mine .

61 The awakening .

.

After a while, he pulled away from me and then joined our bleeding palms together .

Our blood seeped into each other , mingling with each other .

He took me to the first standing stone and held out our hands now joined together , letting a drop of blood touch the stone .

As soon as it died , it ignited a red thread that spread out to the second standing stone .

We walked to the second standing stone and repeated the same thing .

That was what we did in the next few minutes , walking from one stone to another , waiting until a red thread ignited on them .

Just as we got to the last stone , a loud crash echoed through the hearing .

Two of the Ferals that were standing at the opening , were suddenly hurled into the air .

I jerked my head weakly toward the noise and saw a figure pushing through to where we were .

It was Nanny .

“ Nanny ! ” I cried with tears in my eyes .

At that moment , Xander 

wanted to force me to the last standing stone but I mustered all my strength and kicked him as hard as I could .

I knew he was still weak .

As he doubled in pain , holding his legs , I tried to run towards Nanny .

I was weak , so I couldn’t run as fast as I wanted .

Suddenly , someone blocked my path , when I looked up , it was Mr Dupree .

“ Lyla , we haven’t finished yet , ” he said with a cold smile in my eyes and started changing .

Before he could finish changing , Nanny shouted to me to duck and it did .

She threw a handful of something on him , causing him to shriek falling to the ground immediately .

She crossed him and came to where I was , trying to lift me .

“ Nanny ! ” I trembled , hugging her .

“ Thank you for coming , ” I said .

“ You can thank me later , Lyla .

Now we have to go before it gets serious .

Just as she was done lifting me , The Ferals that had been hiding in the bushes suddenly started coming out , blocking our path .

She tucked me behind her back , reaching out for something in the bag , she slung across her shoulders .

She pulled out a whitish substance and began to rub it all over our bodies .

“ It’s salt ! ” she told me hastily .

“ It’s their biggest aversion .

We just need to make it past them , no matter what , they won’t … ” 

The words were barely finished from her mouth when someone dragged her by her hair , flinging her aside .

When I turned , it was Xander , he had an angry glow in his eyes .
