The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 393 - 393: Plans over dinner...

Lyla

By the time Kyren and his men finally left their rooms and came downstairs, it was night already, and dinner was ready.

The dining room was dimly lit with lantern-style sconces that cast soft amber shadows across the long dining table. A fireplace crackled in the far corner, offering some warmth to the unusually chilly evening. Eleven members of the Hollow Kin filled the left side of the table while Kyren, ever fashionably out of place, sat at the head, draped in a sleek black dinner jacket, somehow looking both regal and annoyed.

Ramsey sat to my left, his hand casually brushing against mine beneath the table. Nanny, straight-backed and suspicious as always, flanked my right like an overprotective lioness, her eyes scanning every bite and gesture I made.

We ate in relative silence, and I was glad about that. I didn't want to be forced into small talk about anything. Besides that, I noticed Kyren didn't look happy.

Earlier, Ramsey had told me he'd been horrified when he was told he'd have to share a room with someone. We only had eight rooms available. Ramsey and I would stay in one, and since Nanny couldn't stay with a man in any of the rooms, she had to retain hers.

The people from Hollow Kin had no other choice but to stay two in a room. It was either that or staying in a hotel, and Kyren felt that hotels would not provide the kind of privacy they wanted.

Most of the Hollow Kin members had changed from their weird cloaks to regular clothes now, and they looked different and younger than before.

"That was a good meal," one of the council members said with a small smile. "Did you make it yourself, Luna Lyla?"

Before I could respond, Nanny beat me to it. "Of course not. We have hired a kitchen to provide meals for the duration of your stay. Luna Lyla is pregnant and should not be making food for anyone, let alone a large group like yours."

The man stared at Nanny quietly, then chuckled. "I didn't ask that with malicious intent, High Priestess. I was curious to know how she managed. I am sorry if it came out that way."

"I think you must have mistaken my reply and a reaction to whatever trigger you think you sent. I assure you, I didn't think you were asking with malicious intent."

The man stared at Nanny for a minute before looking away. I reached for my glass of water, taking a sip to hide the laughter that bubbled to my throat.
