The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 330

Chapter 330: Unexpected News

I paced my room like a prisoner counting steps.

Each step was filled with anxiety as I wondered if we could make it through this war without Lyla discovering the truth. The weight of the truth – Mother Liora's last words pressed down on me as the day went by, making each breath feel like a struggle.

One hand clutched my robe tight around my chest, and the other was pressed against my temple like it could hold my thoughts together. But they were spilling anyway—memories, guilt, dread—all of it.

It has been calm and quiet for nearly a week now, but the clouds of war were gathering, and for all my ability to see, I didn't know if this was the final war or if there was more. Nothing was clear these days.

What if we didn't survive this? What will happen if Lyla never knew? Would our armies be able to fight the Dark Forces?"

My stomach twisted, and I hated myself for thinking it, but some part of me wanted the truth buried forever. It was safer that way, simpler, and kinder.

The door opened without a knock. Only one person would enter my bedroom with such familiarity.

"Have you told Lyla yet?" Terra asked, her tone making it clear this wasn't a question but an accusation.

"Good morning, Terra. Did you sleep well?" I tried to smile.

"We won't have that luxury to greet each other in the future if the right thing is not done, Miriam. Have you told her?" she repeated again.

I resumed my pacing, avoiding her gaze. "This isn't the right time."

"And when exactly will be the right time, Miriam?" Terra closed the door firmly behind her. "After the Dark One has returned with a new host? After more lives are lost?"

"Maybe we're overthinking this thing."

"Don't do that." Terra's voice cut like a blade. "Don't give me one more excuse, Miriam. You've had days, weeks, months, and years. You grew up with this girl. Did you need Mother Liora to say it before you'd believe it?"

"You think I don't know that?" I snapped, turning to face her. "You think this doesn't bother me every second I look at her?"

"Then why haven't you said anything?"
