The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 162

162 After everything weve shared ? Nathan I leaned back in my office chair , phone pressed to my car , with a smile tugging at my lips as Lylas voice filled the room through the phone .

The warmth of her voice was the only antidote to my endless tasks and preparations for the Harvest Moon Festival .

I miss you , Lyla , I said softly , sighing with longing that was becoming hard to suppress … It feels like I havent seen you for ages .

I miss you more , she sighed .

I honestly wanted to return as soon as I recovered , but the High Priestess would not hear a word of it .

She insists I should wait until after the Harvest Moon S Festival , and then I can go with you ! Yeah , I nodded , glancing at the scattered reports on my desk .

You wouldnt miss me if you saw this mountain of work Im buried under .

Everyones running around like their tails are on fire .

Weve enjoyed a week without any Feral threat ; nothing has been sighted since then .

So , were preparing for the festival .

Patrols , food arrangements , the elders seating plan its madness .

Sounds like fun to me , she chuckled .

Its not different here , though .

We had some Priestess from the Moon Temple over yesterday , and Ill be joining them in performing some barricade spells on the borders of the White Moon Pack .

I heard theyve been travelling to packs all over the region .

Yeah , they came to ours last week .

Its temporary .

But you dont have any powers ; how are you helping them ? I wish I knew .

They insisted , and theyve been giving me this weird stare .

One of them outrightly asked me if Nanny was my real mom .

My heart skipped a beat .

I didnt know how long it would take until Nanny revealed the truth to Lyla .

As much as Ive been itching to tell her , it wasnt in my place .

Still , I was getting anxious by the day .

The more Lyla blossomed into a woman , the more she was beginning to look like her mother .

Dont take it to heart … thats how they all are , I finally responded , trying to make light of the situation .

Anyways , you should brace yourself because when you become a Luna … therell be more work for you .

The Elders are trying to pass it into law , something about letting women train and being managed by the Luna of every pack .

They want to ensure everyone can defend themselves against the Feral attack .

Here , children from ages 6 are enrolled on a -training school that teaches basic defence skills and survival .

But dont worry , Im sure itll not be as bad as it was predicted .

Yeah ! I murmured , drawing in a deep sigh .

Hmm ….

are you sure you dont want me to take over as Alpha for a day ? You sound tired , Lyla said .

Tempting offer , but Id rather have you here for other reasons , my voice dropped slightly , < 162 After everything weve shared ? Tempting offer , but Id rather have you here for other reasons , my voice dropped slightly , making Lyla laugh again .
