The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 244 244: Neriah - Lyla...

Lyla

Okay, this was a bad idea.

Three days ago, right before Ramsey returned from Blue Ridge, I had this brilliant idea on how to help him. I knew Nathan was hell-bent on fighting Ramsey and Ramsey may not go as crazy as him because of me.

So, deciding I would stop being Ramsey's weakness, getting my Moonsinging abilities back would be ideal especially now. At least, with it, I would make sure there are no sudden Feral attacks, making sure Ramsey would concentrate on the war.

Not just that, but we need to convert all the Ferals in the underground cage and make them normal enough to form an army for us. The fight against the Dark One was getting closer each day and I knew it.

So, I and Lenny had turned enemies overnight, giving Ramsey the impression that we suddenly couldn't get along. It was a distraction to make sure Ramsey would not require our presence at the same time.

The plan was simple… take Ramsey's attention away from me, I slip out of the Pack to the Northern Forest find Neriah's sword, then go to Blue Ridge and other Werewolf packs to show them my newfound powers and hope I'd be able to influence them enough to stop the fight.

Most importantly, to change Nathan's heart.

But now standing in the dense Northern Forest, with its heavy silence shrouding it, heavier than I had expected – even though I had prepared for this journey for almost three months now – standing here, I wondered if I had made a terrible mistake.

The towering trees seemed to be watching me with ancient knowing eyes with branches so thick that they created a suffocating darkness that barely allowed any light in. No birds were singing, no rustling leaves, not even the whisper of wind.

Everyone knows that the Northern Forest housed most of the notorious Werecreatures in our world. Ranging from Rogues to Werefoxes and other strays and most recently, Ferals. My heart thundered in my chest as I took a step.

Each step felt like an intrusion into a sanctuary but I had to do this. Sooner or later this had to happen. I continued moving, ignoring the urge to turn back and run back to where I was coming from.

The further I walked into the forest, the more, the path seemed to darken and the path which I used to access the forest seemed to close up from behind. I clutched the satchel strapped to my side and continued walking.

After walking a distance, I paused, looking around. This was the exact spot where I had been attacked by Ferals four years ago. A shiver ran down my spine but I pushed it aside. Crouching to the ground, I opened my satchel.

I could feel my heart pounding wildly in my chest, so much that I was worried it might jump out of my chest any moment now.
