The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

50 Lyla’s discovery …

Lyla

A while later , I was done dressing up .

I went down the stairs checking my phone to see if there were messages for me but there were none – not even from Nanny .

I opened my chat with Nathan , my last message was still unread and it’s been 8 months now .

Was he angry with me ? Did I do something ?

Just as I reached the bottom step , my ears picked up the sound of raised voices coming from behind the room next to the staircase making me freeze .

I wanted to walk past or just go to

the kind that you

my room when I heard Xander’s voice .

It was filled with rage – didn’t need to see it to confirm because you could feel it .

That was strange , in our three months of dating , he had never lost his temper , what could be wrong ?

Curious , I crept towards the source of the noise , pressing myself against the door .

I didn’t need to strain my ears too much because Xander was actually yelling .

“ I didn’t ask you to do that ! ” he shouted .

“ Why did you do it ? Do know how scared she must have

been ?

My breath caught in my throat .

Were they talking about me ?

Xander continued , his tone rising with each word .

“ If not for her unique abilities , she wouldn’t have been able to withstand that .

She could have died ! ”

My brows furrowed as I tried to piece together what he was talking about .

Unique abilities ? Withstand what ? Who was he talking about ? My mind raced , trying to make sense of what I was hearing .

Another voice responded , sounding low and suppressed but equally angry .

It was Mr Dupree .

“ This is taking too long .

We should have settled all of this a while ago and moved on to more important things .

”

Settled what ? I wondered , getting more confused .

“ This is just like before , Mr Dupree continued “ You’re veering off course again .

“ I’m in control , ” Xander shot back .

“ I know what I’m doing !

I heard Mr Dupree scoff .

“ In control ? But you’re lodged between her legs all the time .

, even

You’re much more than this

blood ran cold , my breath catching in my

and

a loud thud echoed through the room , as if something or someone crashed against a piece of furniture , followed by someone being hit and then

screaming at me to run … suddenly ,
