The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 196

196 The breaking point … Lyla to If anyone thinks I am calmly processing the revelation that Nanny is my mother , let me assure you I AM NOT ! I havent reached that level of maturity yet , nor do I care to pretend otherwise .

I am furious ! Every nerve in my body is burning with anger , it seems like all the tiny molecules that make up every part of me is boiling so much that Im practically laden with the anger I feel .

Forget everything I told you earlier about calmly arriving at the temple , being gently ushered in by Terra , Nannys best friend and politely asking Nanny if shes , my mother .

That scenario ? Thats a lie ! A fickle mirage , a façade that will never happen .

The truth is , I am the highest level of pissed livid should fit it more .

I am not riding in a taxi to Golden Gates Pack because I cant afford such luxury .

Instead , Im stuck on a crowded train to Golden Gates , doing everything I can to keep my anger in check .

But its hard .

Especially with the mother and son sitting next to me , giggling and showering each other with loud , exaggerated kisses .

Their happiness feels like salt in an open wound , a painful reminder of everything Ive never had and will likely never get .

As soon as I reached it , I stormed into the temple , my heart was pounding with rage and heartbreak .

The temple was quiet , serene as it always seemed in the stories , Nanny had told me .

I followed the faint hum of voices echoing through the halls , leading me to the courtyard where a group of women sat in a circle , laughing at something .

My eyes went wild as I scanned their faces , searching for my target .

I finally found her .

She was sitting amid the circle of women , laughing , carefree , as if she hadnt just destroyed her daughters entire world .

It infuriated me .

My rage pushed me .

I marched forward and it didnt help that I had heels on , so I practically sounded like a baby thunder roaring .

The women turned to me , most of them looked familiar 1 had seen them at the Harvest Moon Festival .

Most of them looked startled but at this point , I didnt care I reached Nanny and grabbed her arm , yanking her to her feet , and tightening my hold on her .

She looked both surprised and I 10-26 196 The breaking point ….

Is it true ? I barked ; my voice was trembling with fury .

Her face contorted with confusion as she searched my face not before looking around warily , as if she wished this was not happening right here in the presence of the other women .

Lyla , what … IS IT TRUE ? I shouted .

All these years … all this time … why didnt you tell me ? The courtyard fell silent , the other women were staring curiously at us .
