The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

139 Whispers … Lyla Two days later … Tyla Lyla Lyla … I stirred as my eyes fluttered open , still heavy with sleep .

I wanted to open my eyes and ask who was calling and what the person wanted but my mouth felt too heavy .

Tyl Lyla Ayla … The voice came again , this time , more insistent than the first time , Grumbling , I swung my legs off the edge of my bed and rose , my bare feet against the cold floor , sending me cold tremors .

The voice came again , more insistent than before and I followed after it .

My mind was too foggy as if I was trapped in a dream but that was real .

I followed after the sound of the voice , half asleep , half awake running into the wall severally as the voice continued beckoning me Each time I hesitated , the voice called again , urging me forward .

Iyla … I felt my hand push a door and the crisp night air greeted me like a cold embrace .

I stepped into the darkness .

… too bright ! I murmured trying to move away from the bright light that shone on my face .

I threw a lazy hand over my face , wondering why my bed was hard .

… close the blinds , its too bright ! I cried again with my eyes tightly shut .

But nothing happened , the light was still on my face .

Sighing .

I opened my eyes , blinking rapidly as the harsh sunlight assaulted my vision .

I turned my head to the side , expecting to see the maid that was bent on disturbing my sleep but all I saw were trees with daylight filtering through their branches .

This wasnt my room at White Moon Pack .

Still feeling drowsy and irritated , I touched the bed , only to realize I was lying on the ground , the earth beneath me was damp and cool .

Blinking rapidly I was fully awake now ; this wasnt my room or even near the pack house , I was in the middle of what seemed to be a forest .

I started hearing hot and heavy breathing above me .

When I looked up , a scream tore through my throat , spreading through the forest as my body jerked backwards instinctively .

My heart leapt into my throat as I dragged my body away from it .

The wolf cocked its head , and then in an instant , its form shifted and transformed .

Where the wolf once stood , was Nanny , in a kneeling position .

Her expression was calm but filled with concern .

Its just me , she said softly , holding up her hands in a soothing gesture .

I forgot I hadnt transformed back .

10 Whispers looked around me How did I get here ? * I was about to ask you the same thing , she said quietly .

I was out for a run this morning and found you here .

I thought you came out for a walk too or something and fainted or fell asleep in the process She glanced at my dishevelled appearance and added You look like you just fought a rogue .

Are you alright dear ? I looked down shocked .

My body was caked in dirt , leaves tangled in my hair , and my clothes were torn and muddy .

L … I dont remember What do you mean you dont remember ? Nanny asked , staring at me intently .

You dont have to lie , I wont tell anyone I saw you here .

I swear I dont .

I looked around the forest and shivered , not from cold but from a strange sense of displacement .

Something felt off , but I couldnt pinpoint what exactly .

Nanny stared at me for a few seconds then removed the shawl she had on and draped it over my shoulders .

Dont think too much of it .

I told Mother Liora that the medicine was too strong , and it may cause one to lose the sense of time .

Come , we need to return to the pack house , youre not supposed to be out here in the cold like this , Unable to say anything , I nodded and allowed her to guide me back to the pack house .

As we approached , servants were running in and out of the pack house with Nathan pacing like a caged Tiger on the porch .

He had several lines of worry etched deeply on his forehead .

The High Priestess stood beside him too , her expression was grim .

me .

On Miss ! one of the maids that serves me suddenly exclaimed in relief and rushed towards me .

cue , Nathan and the priestesss heads snapped up simultaneously .

Both of them rushed to me .

Lyla ! Nathan gathered me in his arms , hugging me so tight that I felt my bones would break .

Where have you been ? he asked as he pulled back , tugging a stray strand away from my face .

How are you like this ? he asked , his eyes examining my appearance .

Were you attacked by Ferals ? Are you hurt ? Alpha Nathan , Nanny suddenly interjected , pulling me away from him and to her side .

We went for a walk and she was caught in a thicket but shes fine .

Nothing to worry a Caught in a thicket ? What were you doing watching her walk into a thicket ? Why did you allow her to go for a walk ? Nathan fumed , his eyes flashing dangerously at Nanny .

Fresh air is good for Lyla and I know because I am … Nanny trailed off , I could tell she hadnt been pleased with Nathans tone earlier .

Ive been taking care of her since she was a baby and I know exactly how she recovers .

Not by letting her walk into the forest with Ferals on the rage .

What if … Thats enough , Alpha , Mother Liora interrupted Nathan , placing a hand gently on his arm .

I dont see any scratch on her body , shes fine and you should trust Nanny , shes closer to her than any of us , she wont purposely put her in harms way .

150 Whispers ..

inore morning walks .

If you want to walk that badly , you should have woken me up Im line ; I flashed him an uneasy smile .

He nodded exhaling as he tried to rein in his emotions .

Mother Liora placed a hand on his arm again and said .

She should go inside and rest ? I nodded , grateful for the distraction as I followed Nanny into the house .
