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

154 Nymeris III

Lyla (Nymeris) POV

Suddenly, Nymeris’s cars twitched. A faint sound a distant scratching had caught her

attention.

Without hesitation, she turned and started running in the direction of the scratch. She tore through the forest with a speed that felt both exhilarating and terrifying. As she ran, trees blurred past us, the wind howling in my ears, and then it was as if I had done

this before.

Fragments of memories flooded into my mind.

–

I saw myself two nights ago, transforming into Nymeris and racing through the forest, my heart pounding with adrenaline. And then, in the end, lying down at the same clearing where she had finally manifested.

My eyes widened in surprise literally as the realization hit me. All those mornings I had woken up in the forest looking like I had just survived a fight, it was because I had come for a run. How was this possible? How could Nymeris transform without me knowing?

“Nymeris,” I called her in my mind, trying to make sense of it. “Those mornings in the forest… it was you?”

“I tried to tell you,” she said in between gasps. “I had no other choice but to do it. Lives had to be saved.”

“Lives? What do you mean? What are you talking about? How can you transform without me knowing? Like there’s no vivid collection except waking up in the morning and finding myself lying now in the forest with my clothes dirtied and scratches all over my arms. Why didn’t you say something, at least? Do you know how worried I was?”

“Because I couldn’t communicate with you, Lyla. For some reason, I was able to act independently of you. Since you are my host, it felt as if I could make decisions to rouse you and transform, and before you ask me, I don’t have an explanation for that.”

“But…”

My question was cut short as Nymeris burst into a clearing. The light from the Moon was fading, and dawn was slowly streaking into the sky. Nymeris paused, her eyes searching the tall trees barely illuminated by the light from the moon.

Her senses were sharpened, and her body tensed immediately as their scent wafted up to us. I gasped with shock when I saw them – Feral wolves, slowing coming out of the
