The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 179

179 Earlier … Nathan I stormed out of the pack house , my frustration bubbling to the surface .

Immediately , I shifted .

Ragnar emerged with practised ease , his dark fur rippling in the moonlight as I caught Lylas scent in the wind .

The trails were fresh , tinged with blood from all the Ferals and Trinax she fought .

I followed her scent through the maze of mingling scents surrounding the White Moon Pack .

My paws pounded against the earth , as I pushed forward .

I tracked her through the territory , following a path that took me toward the White Moon Packs borders .

Almost at the borders , it veered off to the edge of the dense forest surrounding the packs territory .

As I approached the tree line , my hackles rose , indicating that someone was watching me .

I stopped for a moment ; my ears perked as I surveyed the area .

There was nothing … no one except me .

But something felt … off .

Shrugging it off , I prepared to enter the forest , since her scent was stronger in that direction .

Just then , a chilling sensation washed over me .

I wasnt alone .

Ragnar let out a low growl , as he whirled , muscled bunched ready for an attack only to find myself face to face with a familiar figure .

Standing a few yards away was it the same being that had been haunting me for a few months .

now .

Since that incident with Lyla at the White Lake pack .

Not only had I had several encounters with it , but It was also in my head .

Always suggesting devious motives .

All attempts to fight it with resources I know about and heard have proved abortive .

Hissing , I shifted back to my human form , ready for a fight as my expression hardened immediately .

What do you want ? I demanded , glaring at the being .

My voice was laced with irritation .

The being cocked its head , studying me with an unsettling calmness .

Then he approached me , taking measured steps .

I also noticed it had a thoughtful expression on its face .

How long have you known about Lylas wolf ? it asked .

I hissed , stepping around him as I moved toward the forest .

I had no time for games , not with Lylas scent growing fainter by the second plus the Harvest Moon would reach its peak any moment now , I had to reach Lyla first before anything .

As I moved , the being followed after me , clearly unperturbed by my silence .

I didnt know anything about that , it continued , its volce carrying an edge of curiosity .

But your calmness … you knew , didnt you ? I stopped abruptly , spinning to face it .
