The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

136 Balance is a myth … Ramsey We arrived at White Lake Pack a few minutes later .

Elder Thorne had come out to welcome us and immediately offered to take Nathan to where Lyla was .

I and the priestess followed behind walking at a normal pace when I saw her slow down and wait for me until we were walking side by side .

eyes glazing You remind me so much of your parents , Lycan Leader , she said softly , her eyes wistfully as she gave me a small smile .

I turned to her , momentarily surprised that she was bringing my parents up suddenly .

You knew my parents ? I asked .

She nodded , her smile growing into a wide grin now .

Who didnt ? she chuckled .

I knew them very well : they were extraordinary and one of the best couples our world has ever seen .

They were brave , loyal and deeply in love .

They had one of the most intense mate bonds Ive ever seen despite being born into different worlds .

They existed peacefully and we all knew they would never be able to survive without each other .

On the day of their Joining Ceremony , their wish was to die together .

I let out a bitter laugh as my steps slowed .

Brave , loyal and deeply in love , I repeated sarcastically .

If they were so obsessed with each other , why did they even bother to have a child ? I clearly was a hassle to them or an inconvenience , they couldnt have birthed me at all because I never meant anything to them .

The priestess sighed .

Life is rarely fair , she said gently .

No matter how much we wish it were otherwise , it never is .

Balance is a myth we tell ourselves to make sense of the chaos .

Im sure your parents loved you in their own way , but their love for each other was so overwhelming that it consumed everything else .

Nothing is ever truly even Ive seen how parents obessess with their children .

They want to spend every waking moment with them but I didnt have that luxury .

I was raised by nannies and maids and the Butler .

Whenever my dad was not working , he was always with my mom … they did everything together -the only time they were my parents was during compulsory family events and my mom … would brush my head and give me a smile then complains to the maids that I looked thin or the clothes I had on wasnt the right size and that was all .

And my dad … I trailed off with a scoff .

Hell pat me on my shoulders and say Thats my boy .

Lennys mother would not let him leave the house to play without dressing him with all the safety gadgets in the world .

She would cook for him , pack his food she wasnt a great cook and she was my mothers Beta but she never allowed her busy schedule to be in the way of taking care of her son .
