The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 60

60 Evil is coming …

Miriam ( Nanny )

Hours later , as the excitement died down , I met Mother Liora .

I wanted to ask her about the real reason I was here but as soon as I opened my mouth , she raised her hand to stop me .

“ Tomorrow , Miriam , ” She said softly “ I have a feeling you haven’t come with good news .

Whatever it is , it can wait until morning .

I’ll be

more receptive then .

Rest tonight , dear .

”

I nodded , though anxiety gnawed at me .

I had wanted to tell Liora everything but it would have

to wait .

Later that night , I made my way to my old room , the one I had gotten after I became a ‘ Moon Devotee ! The room was still unoccupied after all these years and I wondered why .

Sinking into the bed , I stared up at the ceiling a soft smile playing on my lips .

When I was younger , I would lay awake on this bed every night trying to imagine myself as Mother Liora , carrying out duties and being responsible for the whole Temple and all the affairs of the Goddess … back then , I would feel thrilled and anxious at the same time .

I had wanted to

explore the world … to see life outside the temple .

We never had opportunities like that except it was for a function , even so , only a few of us were selected to attend .

To think that I’ve been so immersed in life outside the Temple all these years and all I wanted to do now was to come back here and never leave .

The door creaked open softly and a figure stepped inside .

I sat up , recognizing her instantly .

“ Terra ,” I whispered .

“You’re late ! ”

Back then , Terra would sneak into my room every night after the evening prayers and sneak out before dawn .

She never liked the girl that she had to share a bunk with after I left .

“ I used to cover the distance from the dormitories to this place in 10 minutes back then , now I do it in 30 ,” she whizzed dropping on the bed .

“ I’m old , my friend .

In case you haven’t noticed.

”

“ A few grey hairs don’t qualify as old , Terra ,” I laughed lying down beside her .

“ Those human ment would go crazy if they ever saw you and your curves .

”

“ Human men ? ” she propped herself up with her elbows , her eyes widening with curiosity .

“ How do you know that ? ”

“ That’s where I live ,” I chuckled copying her position .

“ I came from here to this place but that’s a story for another day .

Tell me , what’s been going on since I left .
