The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

147 Manifestation II When my body volted awake , the first thing I noticed was the rough ground beneath me damp earth and scattered leaves pressing against my skin .

lot again , I thought as panic rose in my chest .

1 blinked rapidly as the towering trees around me blurred into my view .

I was in the forest again , no doubt .

I scrambled into a seating position , the dried leaves beneath me crinkling with my frantic movement .

My hands flew to my hair , clutching at the strands tightly as my fingers trembled .

My eyes darted around the clearing , trying to piece together the puzzle of how I had ended up here- again , My breathing was shallow and uneven .

Why how ? I stammered under my breath , my voice cracking with disbelief .

My chest heaved as I spun , searching for any clue that might ground me in reality .

A voice interrupted my spiralling thoughts .

Youre awake I whirled toward the sound , startled , my heart pounding like a drum .

Leaning casually against a nearby tree , his arms crossed , stood Lenny .

He had a calm , concerned , almost amused expression on his face .

* Lenny ? * I called out shakily .

What what are you doing here ? He pushed off the tree and walked over to where I was .

I could ask you the same thing , he said , offering his hand , but Im not interested in explanations right now , he added flatly , cutting off any excuse I might want to give .

I stared at his outstretched hand before tentatively placing my hand on his .

My fingers felt cold and stiff as he helped me to my feet and held me for a few seconds as I swayed slightly , still disoriented .

The last night shift patrol team found you out here , he continued in a clipped but not unkind tone .

Thankfully , they brought it to my attention before anyone else saw .

Were fortunate its still dawn and most of the pack is asleep .

You can sneak back into the pack house without questions .

His tone brooked no room for argument , so I nodded mutely .

Feeling my cheeks redden as I avoided his gaze .

Can you walk on your own ? Do you want me to hold you or carry you ? he asked .

I can walk I said quickly , although I still felt slightly dizzy .

Lets go then , he said , motioning me to follow .
