The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

41 Shadows of the past ….

Miriam POV ( Nanny )

I was hunched over a hardcover notebook in my small office at the back of the café .

My brows furrowed in concentration as I jotted down Lyla’s recent symptoms , trying to make sense of the changes I’d been observing .

Since she started getting her pheromones every month , I made it my duty to note down the symptoms and help her prepare for the next month but this month had taken us by surprise .

Read the latest and free novels at

Excessive heat and increased sexual behaviour

I jotted it down checking other cycles to see what was missing .

Today was the first day and she was already showing signs associated with the last day of her heat .

Something was not right .

My pen hovered over the book as I pondered for a moment , trying to figure out if her trip to Blue Ridge Pack was the cause .

Though she had promised to tell me everything about what went down there , 1 wish she would spill already .

I knew something had happened to her and I didn’t know why she wasn’t telling

mc .

A soft knock on the door interrupted my thoughts .

I quickly closed the notebook and pretended to be working with the system in front of me .

Sarah poked her head in .

“ Mrs Grayson ? Miriam ? ” Sarah gave me a baffled expression “ Someone is asking for you at the

counter .

My eyebrows shot up in surprise .

I wasn’t used to visitors – especially the ones asking for me by my name .

I didn’t have any friends in town , nor did I socialize with anyone beyond the café regulars .

Slowly , I dropped the notebook inside the table drawers , locking it before I rose to my

feet .

“ Did the person leave a name or something ? ” I asked , my curiosity growing .

Hoping it was not another batch of Panthers .

I’ve caught several of them this week hovering outside the café .

They were all trying to get information about Lyla .

Thankful for the little skills and knowledge I had , I had sent them home but in bad shape .

I cracked my fingers , stretching my neck as I walked towards the door .

I had to be prepared for anything .

Sarah shrugged .

“ He didn’t give his name .

Just insisted to speak with you .

” .

“ Thank you

you , Sarah ,” I flashed her a smile .

“ I’ll be out in a minute .

A moment later , I made my way to the front .

As I approached the counter , my heart dropped into my stomach .

Standing by the entrance was a man I had hoped to never see again .

He stood there , his eyes darting back and forth from the café , he looked so uncomfortable and out of place .
