The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

158 She has a wolf .

High Priestess Liora Heavy silence pressed in onafter Alpha Ramsey and Lyla left .

| settled into my chair with a sigh , my gaze drifting to the small hearth as the flames flickered and danced .

My twas near , and | knew that much , but the world | would leave behind was so messy .

And all of it was my fault .

Maybe if | had been thorough and tough with Miriam , if | had put my feet down and not allowed myself to be

blinded by my love for her, Lyla wouldnt have happened if | had guided her right .

Was | grateful to the Moon Goddess for giving us a Moonsinger ? Yes ! But who knew that Miriams mistake would

have this repercussion ? | knew there would be a repercussion of ssort ... she was , after all , supposed to be

High Priestess afterand had the silver mark , but nothing had preparedfor this .

If Lyla had an ordinary wolf , it would have been different | wouldnt have worried , but the two tailed wolf ... | felt

the hairs at the back of my neck rise in fear , and immediately , | muttered a prayer to calm my weak heart .

Lyla that girl there was so much more happening now than | could comprehend , and the visions were becoming

frequent these days .

The soft creak of the door startledwhen Miriam entered , holding a tray of food .

| studied her for a moment .

Her movements were mechanical , almost robotic , as she set the tray down on the table in my room .

Something was wrong with her .

Ah, Miriam , just in time, | chirped , trying to dispel the sad aura around her .

Could set it down here , | pointed to the small stool near my bed .

you She complied without saying a word as she placed the tray on the small table beside my bed .

Then, she poureda cup of tea , opened the plates for, and set out the cutlery .

Though she was moving with deliberate care , | didnt miss how her hands trembled .

She did not even attempt to chat withlike before .

When she finished setting my table , she returned to the window and stared absently .

Miriam | called out to her costle Te comething wrong ? She didnt answer .

Her shoulders were hunched slightly in defiance , and her fingers were curled into the fabric of her skirts she

used to do that a lot as a child .

Whenever she was sad and wanted to cry so badly , she would try to hold back .

Miriam , | pressed again , trying to be firmer this t.

Is something wrong ? Lyla looked fine when she cto seea moment ago .

| thought that would make you happy .

given that youve barely left her side for nearly three days .

still, she remained mute .

Is this about what | told you ? You dont have to givea response now ; theres plenty of t, you know , and

it shouldnt worry you too much .

Still, no response .

Minutes passed , and the room continued to be filled with Miriams sadness .

| waited patiently .

| had learned long ago that the only way to get her to open up to you is to be silent .

It works most times , though .

Finally , a sharp sniffle broke the silence .

Miriam turned around slowly , tears streaming down her face .

Her chin quivered as she looked at, her eyes brimming with tears and despair .

The last tshe had cried this much was after the birth of her daughter , and she had beggedto allow her

to hold her for only five seconds .

The other priestesses and the midwife who had helped us beggednot to, but | gave in .

| couldnt stand her crying even now ... Though she was older ... her tears broke my heart and plungedinto a

state of despair .

Lyla ... she cried .

She has a wolf , Mother .

Lyla ... has a wolf The room seemed to still .

| closed my eyes briefly , exhaling deeply .

| feared as much .

Miriam turned to, shocked .

You knew ? | suspected , | replied quietly , And I told you from the beginning that there was more than one entity

inside her .

She fulfils the prophecy and the first Moonsinger in 10,000 years .

Shes always been different .

She crumbled to the ground , covering her face as she continued sobbing .

No ...no, no.

It cant be .

Its not fair .

| rose from my chair, groaning as my joints protested .

| crossed the room to where Miriam was , kneeling beside her .

Listen to, Miriam .

Now is not the tto be weak .

You knew , as did | that Lyla was special , and now that everything has played out , we have no choice but to face

it headlong .

158 She has a woll Her sobs quicted as she sat back on her heels , looking up atwith red rimmed eyes .

No ... no, she cant be .

She cant be that child .

My gaze softened .

Youve seen them yourself .

Now , we must let her know the full extent .

of her powers and the dangers .

| am also willing to bet she was the wolf that helped Alpha Ramsey and his warriors take down the Ferals today .

Today ? Miriam turned to.

Yes , | nodded , sinking into the space beside her .

Ramsey chere a few minutes ago to askto look for the two tailed wolf that had helped them .

Miriam hesitated , her expression flickering with guilt .

[

think so too .

Ive been watching her for days now .

What do you mean ? She keeps leaving the house in the middle of the night and wakes up in the forest .

One t, | followed her wolf and stayed out of sight , of course , but | saw it | saw her fighting those Ferals .

Shes gone out like that about three times , and today Im sure she went out again .

Im certain of that .

Did she tell you ? | asked .

No , she shook her head .

When | went to her room earlier to clean up and change the sheets , | saw she tried to hide her clothes under the

bed .

They were soiled and torn , and there was a feral bite on her ankle .

She must have gotten it when her wolf was fighting earlier .

Then its true .

Shes already manifested , | nodded with a grim expression .

And shes been fighting .

Do you think she knows she has a wolf ? Her powers as a Moonsinger would try to suppress her, so she might

not know shes been going out every night .

Yeah .

Well , we need to let her know , Miriam .

She needs to understand what she has and who she is ..

A two tailed wolf was rare , powerful and unpredictable .
