The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

The ceremonial preparation ….

.

bn

When I woke again , I was still at Xander’s house and had lost track of time .

My eyes slowly opened , adjusting to the dim lighting of the room , my body was too weak to move , too weak to fight anymore .

Although Xander was not in the room with me , I could feel his presence .

I noticed the soft towel resting on the chair beside my bed .

“ How long have I been out ? ” I murmured to myself trying to sit up .

What was I supposed to do now ?

My mind replayed the events of the last few hours , trying to make sense of everything .

Xander’s

but wanted confession about being the Dark One , his insistence that he didn’t want my powers

me how could any of this be real ? And yet , deep down , some p

– of me felt there was an

element of truth in it all .

I closed my eyes , willing myself to stay calm .

There had to be a way out of this .

There had to be some way I could escape and return to the life I had once known , even if it meant running forever .

But just as the thought crossed my mind , the door creaked open and Xander stepped inside , his face unreadable .

He had on something that looked like Ceremonial attire .

The rich fabric was embroidered with intricate red patterns that seemed to shimmer and move in the dim light .

“ You won’t leave , Lyla ,” he said quietly as if reading my thoughts .

“ Not until you understand who you really are … and why we were always meant to be together .

”

He approached my bed , carrying something in his arms that he set on the space beside me on the bed .

“ If you had drank the Chamomile tea , you would have felt better than you are now .

What do you take me for , Lyla ? ” he scoffed , shaking his head .

How did he know that I didn’t drink the tea ?

“ You think I’m some weak , magical being with a little power here and there .

I’ve told you severally , if I wanted to force you to do whatever I want , it’s the easiest thing to do but I don’t force anyone and certainly not the woman I love .

“ But here I am being held in your house ! ” I fired back weakly , “ Some love , Xander ! ”

“ Because you left me with no other choice and I’m tired of explaining myself over and over again to you .

All these months , I’ve been nothing but a solid ground for you and this is how you choose to repay me ? ”

“ I guess we’re not meant to be even in this life too ! ” I snickered .

“ You cannot force me to accept your nature .

I liked you as Xander – I might have even loved you but this ! ” I shook my head “ I didn’t sign up for any of it .
