The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 258 258: The truth about Corvus II...

I stared at him trying to understand what he meant.

"My grandfathers? The mastermind behind ritual?"

He nodded with a sly smile. "I discovered it too late, Neriah. I was a loyal servant, and I did everything by the book, but I discovered that my sister was one of the Omegas who was sacrificed."

He paused as pain flitted through his eyes. "I betrayed my people that night. I broke the oath and burned down the temple where the rituals were being performed, killing everyone inside – warriors, priests and the Alpha of the Northern Forest's younger brother…" he turned to me "Your father's brother and your uncle."

"So this is why my father has been hunting you all these years? For revenge?"

He laughed. "That's far from it, Neriah. He doesn't want me for revenge, he wants to protect you. You're the last piece of the curse."

"Last piece of the curse? What are you talking about? What do you mean?"

"You were born under the Blood Moon – the same celestial cycle that marks the Omegas destined for the forbidden ritual. So for the first time, the daughter of an Alpha is born with pheromones.

"Is that why my pheromones are so uncontrollable?" I asked him, though I was speaking to myself more. "Is this why my father has never truly loved me – because from the moment I was born, I was meant to be a sacrifice? The whole marriage arrangement with Rian is for what then?"

"A cover-up!" Corvus replied.

"A cover-up, for what?"

"The Lycan Leader isn't offering an alliance, Neriah. He's offering you as a gift to the dark gods to strengthen the Lycan bloodline and the so-called power of the White Moon Throne."

"And my father knew?" I whispered the question, hoping I would be told it was a mistake and my dad had no idea that this was happening.
