The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

173 Im done listening to you … Lyla I stumbled backwards , trying to process what I was seeing .

Cassidy closed the door behind him , a triumphant expression on her face .

I told you , Lyla , that you shouldnt mess with me , now youll know what it feels like to take my things away ! Cassidy had a satisfied glint in her eyes as she came to stand beside Xander who had his usual quiet air about him .

One would think he is harmless .

Every nerve in my body was pounding with fear .

The pieces started falling into place the mysterious attacks , the strange calm that had settled over the territory .

It had all been leading to this moment .

Plus , Xanders threat , the last time when I had gone into a coma .

This event was perfect .

The priestesses were here , and every Alpha , both werewolf and Lycan , representing all the packs by the sea , was present .

The full moon the same Gemini moon that I had awakened his powers years back would come out today .

Everything was perfect , and Cassidy … was his henchman .

You got that last part wrong , Lyla , Xander chuckled shaking his head reading my thoughts .

Shes too dumb to be a henchman .

She came to me for something entirely different and shes a perfect vessel for little errands like this , so why not ? Tell her , Cass .

Cassidy smiled and came forward .

You were proving too stubborn and the only way to get Ramsey to myself is to have you killed .

Since you still have your powers as a Moonsinger … I dont have any power left as a Moonsinger .

He took all of it away , I protested , taking another step backwards .

You dont have to lie about that , Lyla .

Though its a rare sight , almost rare that a Moonsinger still has remnants of its powers left after I take it and I must blame Miriam that darned Sigma .

If you had completed the ritual , I wouldnt be doing this with you if she hadnt shown up at that moment .

We would have been enjoying a peaceful world .

Nanny had nothing to do with your inadequacies , I retorted .

He continued in his manner , ignoring what I said completely .

Youre the first Moonsinger to retain her powers after that ritual still .

Xander laughed , his laughter echoing throughout the room .

I told you from the first day that youre special Lyla .

More special than you know .

That power inside you ? Its been waiting for this moment .

Waiting for me .

I havent finished ; Cassidy said tersely .

As it seemed I was taking centre stage .
