The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 166

166 Harvest Moon Festival Arrival Day … Miriam My heart swelled with pride as I stood near the edge of the training arena , watching Lyla read the itinerary .

Her poise and confidence reminded me so much of the life I once had .

The youth I thought would never end .

Now watching Lyla my child , grow into a better version of everything I was , made my eyes red with unshed tears .

I had thought having the baby would ruin my life forever , but now Im glad I did and listened to keep my baby .

She was the best decision I ever made .

Today was the first day of the Harvest Moon Festival .

Not only were packs arriving in their pairs : and numbers , but every hand was on deck to ensure the festival went well .

Mother Liora had entrusted Lyla with the significant task of managing all the young apprentices that had come to the pack .

Their job was to ensure the festival arena remained free from dark energy .

Lyla finished reading .

Her voice was firm but kind .

Make sure to double check every corner of the arena , she instructed .

We cant afford even a hint of negativity seeping into this celebration and Ferals .

The apprentices nodded earnestly , some already dispersing to their assigned areas .

Lyla then turned to me , practically bouncing on her toes as her eyes sparkled with excitement .

Nan … Im going to the gates , she said .

Nathan should be here any minute now , and I want to be the first person to welcome him .

Without waiting for more than my acknowledging nod , she darted away , leaving me to handle the rest of the delegation .

I watched her disappearing back , a fond smile on my face when suddenly , a voice came to me from behind .

What is that girl doing wearing the white pearl ? the voice asked .

It was Terra .

They selected Terra , like the other priestesses , to attend the Harvest Moon Festival , representing the current ailing Wisewoman .

Her presence here should fill me with joy but more than anyone , Ive been dreading this confrontation .

Also , as I have stopped talking with Mother Liora , this was her doing .

She must have briefed everything on Terra .

What were you thinking , Miriam ? she followed up without waiting for me to answer her first question .

We need to talk about that white pearl around the Moonsingers neck The smile on my face faded as I sighed heavily .

Not now , Terra , I said in a low voice , glancing around to ensure no one was listening .
