The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

84 Die and be done with it .

Lyla D

I should get used to disgrace by now but as I walked away feeling the thousand pair of eyes on my back, I knew that I would never get used to this , no matter how much I tried .

Maybe , I should just die and be done with it .

I walked until I could no longer hear the murmurs of those around me or see the pity in their eyes .

I still didn’t stop until I reached a small copse of trees hidden from view .

Only then , did I allow myself to break .

Everything inside me shattered .

The sobs came violently , shaking my entire body .

I pressed my back against a rough tree trunk and slid to the ground .

Not caring about my clothes or dignity as tears dripped down my face in torrents .

My mother’s words kept echoing in my head .

Not my daughter .

Wicked .

Worthless .

Abomination .

I touched my cheek where the slaps had landed , feeling the heat of broken blood vessels beneath my skin .

But the pain paled in comparison to the heartache I felt .

I had known , somewhere deep inside , that choosing Nathan would have consequences .

But this ?

This complete rejection , this public denouncement ? And this was not the first time .

If my mother hated me so much , why did she give birth to me ? What on earth did I do to her to always get this hostile treatment ?

My sobs quietened .

I inhaled and exhaled deeply .

Once I’m done with whatever burial rites they needed me to do for my father , I’ll round them up as fast as I can and head back to my life .

Back in the human world … I mattered , I was an important person .

A valuable member of my work team , a good student at school , a good neighbour and Paul … he …
