The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

46 Being Lyla’s keeper .

Lyla

I hummed softly to an unknown tone as I moved the vacuum cleaner around the carpet in the living room .

It’s been three months since I started dating Xander and the only thing I regretted was not meeting him earlier .

Xander was everything I could ever hope for in a man .

My heat cycles which used to be dreadful were something I looked forward to every month because Xander made it easy .

Today , I and Nanny were spring cleaning and I was alternating between my chores and texting

Xander .

My phone buzzed in my pocket again and I couldn’t help the grin that spread across my face as I fished it out .

Xander’s name was flashed on the screen , accompanied by a message that made my heart flutter .

I set down the vacuum to reply him when Nanny’s voice cut through my reverte .

“ Lyla ! Are you on that phone again ? We’re not finished yet ! ”

I rolled my eyes but quickly tucked the device away .

“ Sorry , just checking the time .

”

She hissed , “ Hurry up with the rug .

There’s still the kitchen to clean .

”

I nodded

and continued cleaning .

At some point , Nanny left me in the living room to the kitchen .

Almost immediately , I fished out my phone from my pocket and tried to text Xander back .

The phone was barely out of my pocket for a minute when without warning , Nanny marched over to me , her face set in a disapproving scowl .

Before I could react , she snatched the phone right out of my hand .

“ Hey ! ” I yelped , my eyes widening in surprise .

Nanny held up the phone , wagging it in front of me .

“ You’re supposed to be cleaning , not glued to this thing ,” she scolded .

“ What could possibly be more important than helping me with the

house ? ”

I rolled my eyes and let out a dramatic sigh .

“ It’s just a text .

I’m almost done anyway ,” I pouted .

“ Don’t give me that look , Nanny warned , pocketing the phone .

“ You can have it back when we’re done .

”

The rest of the cleaning passed in tense silence .

When the house was finally spotless , I sighed .

with relief , my arms aching from all the scrubbing and cleaning .

“ I’m going to freshen up ! ” I announced .

Without wasting time , I headed upstairs to my room .

Once I was done freshening up , I came downstairs , feeling lighter and ready to relax .

But I froze when I got to the top of the stairs , my heart lurched .
