The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

61 The awakening …

Present Day

Lyla

With trembling hands , I lifted the paper closer and began to croon the words softly , my voice shaky at first .

Suddenly , my voice tuned in with the melody that I should be singing with the song , then a strange sensation began to wash over me .

A warmth spread through my chest , radiating out to my fingertips and toes .

It was as if the song itself was breathing life into me , filling me with energy I’d never felt before .

My voice grew stronger , and I felt myself take my eyes off the paper , lifting my eyes to the sky as the rest of the song rolled onto my tongue .

The more the melody rolled off my mouth , the more exhilarating and terrifying and disconnected I felt from my own body , as though something else was guiding me .

I tried to focus my gaze on Xander who stood in front of me now , his hands placed on the stone in the middle of the standing stones .

“ You see , Lyla ? This is who you are .

This is the power you hold .

Don’t hold back Lyla , let it all

out .

”

I faltered , my voice wavering but the power was too much .

I wanted to stop , but I couldn’t .

The song was pulling me in , deeper and deeper until I felt like I was drowning in the melody .

Xander closed his eyes , head tilted back as the air around us began to shimmer , as I continued singing , a thin thread of silvery light emerged from my chest , it was invisible at first but began to grow stronger with each note .

It passed from me , and hit the stone in the middle of the standing stones , turning it on .

I could see more ancient text written on it .

Then the silvery threat extended to Xander , plunging into his heart causing his body to jerk as if he was struck by lightning .

I wanted to stop ; I was forcing myself to stop but it was impossible now .

More words came to my mouth , I wasn’t even thinking , I couldn’t .

Xander’s skin began to glow from within , I could see the veins in his arms , turning silver as the ground between his cracked .

His body trembled , his head thrown back as he let out a low growl , the sound rumbling deep in his chest .

The power clawed its way out of the depths of his soul , burning through him li wildfire .

His eyes burned bright , glowing with a fierce light , and tendrils of dark energy swirled around him , coiling through the air like snakes .

At the same time , I felt something strange happening to me as well .

I could feel my connection to Xander at the moment intensifying .

The silver threat of energy connected to the stone , binding us together as I sang .
