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

After Cassidy left, I stood in my room, my hands clenched beside me as anger coursed through my veins.

I was tired of her manipulative threats but at the same time, I seemed to be playing right into her traps. How did it come to this? How had my life taken a turn and was so far out of control?

A tug in my mind interrupted my thoughts. It was Lenny, my Beta trying to reach me through our mindlink.

“What is it, Lenny?” I asked dryly.

“The Elders are in the meeting hall seeking an audience with you. They say it’s urgent.”

“Seriously?” I groaned inwardly, rubbing the back of my neck as I closed my eyes, trying to gather my frayed emotions.

I’ve been hoping I would have a moment of peace today of all days but peace seemed to be an impossible word in my world.

“What do they want to see me for?” I replied, not bothering to hide my annoyance.

“They say it’s urgent, the Gamma Commander is here.”

I scowled. It was never good news with the Elders.

“Fine, I’m on my way,” I muttered ending the link.

I threw on my jacket, taking a deep breath before I left my room, and made my way toward the meeting hall. When I got to the meeting hall, irritation simmered under my skin but I pushed it aside and entered the hall.

Inside, the Elders were already seated around the meeting table, they all had long looks on their faces. I spotted Elder Mira and Elder Thorne Lycan of the White Lake Pack and Cassidy’s

father.

I could sense the tension in the air, something more than the usual politics I was used to. I also noticed that the meeting had only the elders. The members of the council were missing.

I crossed the room and took my seat, not bothering to hide my displeasure. “This better be important,” I said, my voice was filled with exhaustion. “I really need to rest.”

“We wouldn’t have called you if it was important, Alpha,” Elder Mira was the first person to speak. “We received a report from the Gamma Commander early this morning and we thought –you’d like to know.”
