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

The priestess nodded solemnly. “Yes. Every Moonsinger in history, including Neriah, the first Moonsinger. They all at some point were stripped of their abilities, so this is not the first time.”

The elders exchanged nervous glances. “So, how were they able to fight?” Elder Mira asked.

“They all underwent training – serious, vigorous training that made them stronger, stronger than any ordinary Lycan. Most of them gained the strength of a hundred Lycans combined. The Moonsinger before Lyla – the general from across the sea had the strength of a thousand Lycans and that was because of his experience as a warrior coupled with his special gift.”

Everyone in the hall exchanged another round of shocked glances. Even Ramsey looked taken aback.

“But why?” Ramsey asked, his voice cutting through the murmurs. “Why did they all lose their powers? Was the Dark One responsible for that too?”

121 Where is your male, Lyla?

The priestess nodded. “The pattern has been consistent. Due to the nature of how Moonsingers discover their powers, the Dark One always reaches them first. In fact, the birth of a Moosinger slowly awakens the Dark One and when he becomes fully awake, he starts to search for them using his Trinax but that’s a story for another time. Despite all the precautions taken by all High Priestesses, he always manages to reach them before us and by the time we discover them… they’re without their powers.”

“And what does the Dark One do with all these powers he collects?” Ramsey pressed.

“No one knows,” the priestess shook her head. “But what we do know is that the loss doesn’t end their journey as Moonsingers. On the contrary, it’s always the beginning of their journies and now that we have acknowledged that the Moonsinger has been revealed, there’ll be lots of attacks sprinkled now and again.”

“And coincidentally, our Moonsinger is not strong enough to save us,” Elder Thorne smirked.

“I should warn you, Elder Thorne,” the priestess turned to him “You should be mindful of the way you speak to Lyla. The position she holds can almost rival that of

this time around.”

“A pivotal role?” Elder Thorne arched his brow. “What do you mean?”

“The water from the White Lake in your pack would be used to perform a cleansing ritual on the Moonsinger and your soldiers would protect the White Moon Throne and every other pack in the White Moon region. They have been chosen by the Moon Goddess. herself.
