51 The Dark One’s revelation …

Lyla

I stared at him , my eyebrows crunching into a frown .

“ The Dark One ? As in the Dark One that fought with Werewolves a long time ago and the Moon.

Goddess sent a Moonsinger to stop him ? You ? ” I burst out into laughter , holding my sides as my body shook .

“ C’mon Xander ! ” I said with teary eyes , still laughing .

“ If you wanted to make me scared , your could have just said so but actually calling yourself the ‘ Dark One ‘ .

That’s not possible .

I mean , if you were , I’d be dead by now , right ? ”

He was watching me with an amused expression , as a tender smile tugged at the corner of his mouth .

“ That’s because I love you , Lyla .

I wasn’t joking when I told you the first time .

I’ve loved you in many lives before this .

“ Stop , Xander … you’re scaring me now .

th

He shook his head and continued .

“ There’s a connection between us and I know you felt it from

moment I walked into your classroom , he paused , his eyes darkening .

“ We’ve been tied to each other for longer than you can imagine .

And each time , ” he sighed , wistfully , “ It’s the same fate brings us together , although I must this was the easiest part so far .

You look exactly like her … hands , lips , eyes and that body … ” his gaze left my face flickering all over my body .

I’ve waited all these years for you … ”

I swallowed hard .

“ Waited all these years for me ? How ? ”

“ You’re the reincarnation of my first lover – Neriah , a sad smile tugged at his lips .

“ We were so much in love until your Moon Goddess became so dramatic and turned her against me … ” he exhaled deeply .

“ But I waited , just like I promised , all these years , through Moonsingers of course until you came and I know this time it’ll be different , right ? I can feel it .

The amusement on my face drained as I searched his eyes , realizing with growing dread that he wasn’t joking .

Fear began to creep up my spine .

If he was the Dark One , it means he sent those Ferals who tried to kill me .

“ You’re the Moonsinger , Lyla ! ” he continued “ This is not how I planned for you to know of course .

Usually , you’re much stronger than this without almost any defect ,” he stated “ And will announce yourself but , never in a million years did I think so much power would rest on the shoulders of a Nineteen – year – old .

“ That’s because I’m not anything , I shifted closer to the door .

He was delusional .

“ I don’t know so inuch about the Moonsinger but what I do know is they’re powerful bunches who have led our warriors to war against you and ki … ” I trailed off , the realization of the entire situation hitting me now .

“ Anyways ” I continued hastily .

I’m not the Moonsinger and I’m definitely not her reincarnation .

“ You’re ! ” he said his tone brooking no argument .
