The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

47 Breaking free ….

Lyla

I stood , stunned at Nanny’s words , trying to process her demand to break up with Xander .

It made me speechless but only for a moment .

Then slowly , a laugh bubbled up from my chest as I crossed my arms .

“ Break up with him ? ” I repeated .

“ You have no right to tell me that .

You cannot ask me to break up with him .

There’s no reason for that .

”

“ It’s for your own

good , Lyla ! ” Nanny sighed .

“ You’ll thank me later , I promise you .

”

“ No ! ” I scoffed .

“ Who do you think you are to make such decisions for me ? My mother ? ”

I paused , trying to fight the tears at the back of my throat .

“ Newsflash : You’re not .

I’ll be twenty soon .

I’m an adult and I can make decisions about who I date or who not to date .

”

Nanny clenched her teeth , her fists tightening at her sides .

“ Well , young lady you’re still 19.

And you’re living under my roof , cating the food I put on the table .

I take care of you ; I buy every fucking thing you need .

That’s the least you owe me , to do as you’re told .

”

The curse word hung in the air between us .

In all the years we’ve been living together , I’ve never heard her use foul language .

I knew I should back down by now but I was too angry to care about anything else .

“ No ! ” I shot back .

“ What I owe you is gratitude for taking care of me all these years not blind obedience for the future .

You’re just jealous .

You hate that I’ve broken free , that I’ve finally gotten away from the chains of our family and our laws that held me bound all these years .

Well , guess what ? I’m going to live my life on my terms , whether you approve of it or not .

And if you’re so tired of fending for me , maybe I’ll just leave ”

Nanny chuckled dryly .

“ Jealous of you ? For what reason , Lyla ? What about you triggers jealousy ? The fact that your father rejected you and doesn’t give a fuck about you .

You think this is about being jealous ? ”

She shook her head , her voice growing stronger as she continued .
