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

Chapter 133

133 Pessimist stuck in the past….

Lyla

I lay sprawled on the cold floor, its chill seeping into my bones as I stared into the darkness that shrouded the room like a cloak.

I don’t know how long I’ve been here; all I remember was meeting Xander in the room of my former house and then opening my eyes to this darkness. How had I ended up here again? How had I come back to the human world so fast?

Was this a dream?

I didn’t think so, because I’ve been sleeping and waking up and doing everything I would normally in real life and Xander feels so real too. I sighed, stretching lazily, not bothering to cover up the threadbare blanket I was given.

I lay quietly, thinking about what kind of food would be served to me later tonight, my inability to do anything but just wait was making me ravenous. Suddenly, the voice that wouldn’t leave me alone filtered into my consciousness again.

“Lyla.”

I didn’t move, I didn’t react. The voice as always would start with a low murmur that would gradually increase in volume and intensity. It was neither male nor female, neither young nor old

just a sound that seemed to come from somewhere within me.

“Lyla, “it said. Then again. “Lyla.”

“What?” I sighed with irritation. “If someone doesn’t want to answer you, you should take it as a hint and leave them alone. Can you just leave me the fuck alone? Please!”

There was a slight pause from its end. For a moment, I thought it had disappeared but then it came again.

“I know being alone and in this void is making you irritable, so, I’m going to let that slide this

once.”

I ignored it, turning my head slightly to the side. The chill from the cold floor seeped into my cheek, grounding me in the emptiness I now called my existence.

“Lyla, you need to listen to me,” the voice insisted.

“Go away,” I muttered hoarsely.

“No, I won’t,” the voice snapped. “We have to find a way out of here before it’s not too late.

I scoffed, my lips curling into a dry laugh. “Too late?” I repeated bitterly. “It’s already too late. Xander has me, there’s nothing I can do. There is no escape.”
