The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

146 The Manifestation I Lyla I was in the middle of a clearing .

The moon was shining brightly … so bright that if I reached out for it , I would touch it .

The stars shone with such bright intensity that Id never seen before , pulsing with the rhythm of my heartbeat … the forest was quiet except for the quiet chirp of crickets in the distance .

Lyla … A voice called out to me , filling the space with warmth .

For the first time since my second cleansing , I felt at ease .

As if a voice calling my name in the middle of nowhere was the most natural thing Id ever seen like Id been waiting for my whole life without realizing it .

Slowly , I turned towards the source of the voice .

But I saw Mother Liora pouring water over my head in a ceremonial gesture .

Beside her , Nanny clasped my hands so tightly that I could see her veins popping out from under her skin and she had a serene aura around her .

But something was not right .

Something didnt feel right for a moment .

I was standing here and Mother Liora , Nanny and I were standing a short distance away from me , barely acknowledging my presence .

How was I standing in the clearing while simultaneously standing in front of Mother Liora and Nanny ? I squinted , letting the moonlight illuminate the scene just to make sure the person there wasnt me , but then , I saw her clearly … it was me alright .

Similar features , the same dress … everything was the same .

I tried to move forward , to close the gap between the two versions of myself , but I was rooted to the ground .

I opened my mouth to cry out , but no words would come out .

Lyla … The voice called again , closer this time .

I felt a light brush against my leg and when I looked down , blue eyes brilliant and piercing stared back at me .

Hidden in my shadow and from the moons glow was a magnificent wolf .

Her fur shimmered like liquid starlight , tinted with sparkles of silver and gold .

Under the moonlight , she looked nearly white , but on a closer look , she was a paler colour between silver and white .

Her legs were long and elegant , nearly as tall as mine , and her tail was unlike anything I had ever seen it ended in a forked tip , resembling two branches joined into a longer stem .

She was breathtaking .

Ravishingly beautiful probably the most beautiful wolf Id ever seen .

I thought Nannys wolf was beautiful , but this creature was something else entirely .

She was art brought to life as if the Moon Goddess was so intentional in making her .

100 The Mandestation ! The wolf circled my legs , her lithe body brushing against me .

She rubbed herself against mine , nudging my hand with her nose , urging me to touch her .

I stood momentarily watching her , feeling a burst of happiness course through my body .

Never have I felt so connected to something as I did now .
