The Alpha's Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger by Ejiofor Dorcas

51 The Dark One’s revelation…

Lyla

I stared at him, my eyebrows crunching into a frown.

“The Dark One? As in the Dark One that fought with Werewolves a long time ago and the Moon. Goddess sent a Moonsinger to stop him? You?” I burst out into laughter, holding my sides as my body shook.

“C’mon Xander!” I said with teary eyes, still laughing. “If you wanted to make me scared, your could have just said so but actually calling yourself the ‘Dark One‘. That’s not possible. I mean, if you were, I’d be dead by now, right?”

He was watching me with an amused expression, as a tender smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. “That’s because I love you, Lyla. I wasn’t joking when I told you the first time. I’ve loved you in many lives before this.”

“Stop, Xander… you’re scaring me now.”

moment I walked into your classroom, he paused, his eyes darkening. “We’ve been tied to each other for longer than you can imagine. And each time,” he sighed, wistfully, “It’s the same fate brings us together, although I must this was the easiest part so far. You look exactly like her… hands, lips, eyes and that body…” his gaze left my face flickering all over my body. I’ve waited all these years for you…”

I swallowed hard. “Waited all these years for me? How?”

“You’re the reincarnation of my first lover – Neriah, a sad smile tugged at his lips. “We were so much in love until your Moon Goddess became so dramatic and turned her against me…” he exhaled deeply. “But I waited, just like I promised, all these years, through Moonsingers of course until you came and I know this time it’ll be different, right? I can feel it.”

The amusement on my face drained as I searched his eyes, realizing with growing dread that he wasn’t joking. Fear began to creep up my spine. If he was the Dark One, it means he sent those Ferals who tried to kill me.

“You’re the Moonsinger, Lyla!” he continued “This is not how I planned for you to know of course. Usually, you’re much stronger than this without almost any defect,” he stated “And will announce yourself but, never in a million years did I think so much power would rest on the shoulders of a Nineteen–year–old.”

“That’s because I’m not anything, I shifted closer to the door. He was delusional. “I don’t know so inuch about the Moonsinger but what I do know is they’re powerful bunches who have led our warriors to war against you and ki…” I trailed off, the realization of the entire situation hitting me now. “Anyways” I continued hastily. I’m not the Moonsinger and I’m definitely not her reincarnation.”

“You’re!” he said his tone brooking no argument.
