The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 178

178 Harvest Moon proposal … Lyla I came awake slowly .

My body ached as if I had carried a thousand bricks .

My head throbbed , my limbs were sore , and my mind was clouded with fragments of memory I couldnt piece together .

The first thing I noticed was that I was in my human form … thank goodness .

The second thing was that I was lying on the ground like before , being cradled in someones arms , My thought went to Xander .

My eyes flew wider in panic as I jerked upright , my breath catching in my Easy came a soothing voice .

I blinked rapidly , trying to focus my hazy vision on the person holding me .

Finally , when it cleared , I saw Nathn .

His blue eyes stared at me calmly .

His lips were curved into a small smile , though this face showed faint traces of concern .

Are you alright ? he asked again .

I nodded , noticing to my dismay that all I had covering my nakedness were my tattered clothes .

However , seeing each others nakedness is common in our world , as not everyone has mastered the art of shifting to their wolf form and returning to their human form without damage to their clothes .

Instinctively , I drew my legs to my chest , wrapping my arms around them as a protective barrier .

Heat rushed to my cheeks as I noticed , Nathan following my movement with his cycs .

Im fine , I finally muttered , my voice hoarse .

Nathan nodded and didnt say any other thing .

It was the ceremonial gown I was supposed to wear for the Harvest Moon Ritual .

Here , he said , handing them to me .

Change into these .

The Harvest Moon rituals have already started .

Theyre trying to be as slow as possible so you can join them .

Without waiting for my response , he stood in one fluid motion and walked a few paces away from me , turning his back to me , to give me privacy .

I hesitated , glancing at the clothes in my lap .

My hands trembled as I touched the fabric , my mind was racing .

The last thing I remembered was Nymeris feeling trapped with everyone in the room and the warriors attempting to catch us .

We had jumped out of the second floor of the pack house .
