The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 187 187 The truth of her birth I Lyla Ive been called wolfless, a deviant, and every other thing all my life but never a murderer! The word rang a hateful echo that refused to fade.

My hands trembled as I clenched them into fists at my sides.

Ive had enough! I cried out.

My tears were flowing freely now, streaking down my callinga murderer.

I havent killed anyone.

I am not a monster mother or the Woman face.

Stop I gazed at Luna Vanessa, my who I had always believed was my mother.

Her expression was concealed with disdain, and her lips were pressed into a thin line.

But I wanted to try one last time.

Maybe she had been so angry and had spoken out of it.

Are you even my mother? Youve hatedfor as long as I can remember.

Why? What did I ever do to you to deserve this? Nathan stiffened, his hand immediately reaching for me.

This isnt the tor place, Lyla.

We just need to get the joining ceremony back on track, thats all.

No! I shouted, shaking his hand off mine, as my voice rose with desperation.

Were going to talk about this now.

Tellthe truth, I turned to Luna Vanessa again.

She rose from her seat and sauntered to where I was .

Despite her unbelievably big stomach, she moved with the gait and speed of a wild cat.

No! she spat when she reached me.

I never wanted you in the first place.

I am not your mother.

I never was and I never wanted to be.

Her words hitlike physical blows, each one stealing my breath.

I staggered backwards, my wedding dress rustling against the ground.

What are you saying? I whispered.

Youre lying ...

you must be lying Your father, she continued, her voice dripping with bitterness, Was on a mission when he met her met her, She laughed, but the sound held no warmth.

He couldnt keep it in his pants, and you were the result of that affair.

Thats not true, tears seeped into my mouth.

I turned to face Nathan .

Shes lying right? Nathan avoided my gaze, looking elsewhere but at me.

I turned and scanned the faces of the Alphas in the room, all of them had their gazes elsewhere but me.

They all knew.

Wow! I laughed, hysterics already teasing at the edge of my sanity.

You all knew? Even you, Nathan .

You knew I was Alpha Logans bastard and no one was kind enough to tell me.

All these years, Ive thought something was wrong With me, that I was the problem, that it was my i but to think my existence has been a lie in itself.

I kept quiet all these years because of your father.

She showed up at our door one day, barely a TL LIJ.

187 The truth of her birth i you in.

I did it to keep my marriage, my hand my mate because I loved Logan so much that I was willing to raise another womans child and let you callmother.

You could have refused ! I screeched as my chest heaved with tears .

You could have insisted.

Why did you make it lifes mission to punishall these years? Two adults ctogether and acted recklessly, why do I have to suffer for it, tell me? Because you killed my son ! her eyes turned into hot coals as she neared me.

You killed my son, Lyla Woodland, a tear rolled down her check.

You took my joy away.

How can I spare you? Vanessa! Beta Jeremy sighed.

It was a mistake.

None of it was her fault.

She just had her wolf, she was out of control.

I turned to him, my eyes darting between thein as I tried to understand what they were talking about.

I had a wolf? I walked to Beta Jeremy.

I dont understand, who did I kill? Why hasnt anyone told the girl? Its been nine years already.

This is so pathetic, one of the strange looking men huffed.

Then snapped his fingers at me, riveting my attention to him.

Listen here, Leila ... when you were 14, you got your wolf and went on a rage.

You attacked the Omegas in the pack house, chased the warriors and then stomped on baby Todd, your brother What! the blood drained from my face.

L... I cant remember.

Of course, you wont ! Luna Vanessa snickered.

Your witch of a mother took your memories away that is why you have no recollection.

* Please! Nathan rose to his feet.

Thats enough, you guys.

Youre confusing her all the more.

Please ... let her go, we can cross examine her another day Im afraid we do not have that luxury, Alpha Nathan , one of the men said with a satisfied smirk.

Nine years ago, when Lyla killed the Alpha heir and the rightful heir to the throne.

Logan was devasted, and so was his wife, our sister.

As stated in our laws, she was to be killed and sentenced to death ... The man paused and the other man picked up from where he stopped.

But Lylas mother begged and managed to convince Logan somehow to spare his daughters life.

Of course, he loved Lyla ... was his favourite child back then... Always ignoring Clarissa! Luna Vanessa pitched in.

So, he refused to allow Lyla to be killed.

A petition was raised against him, and taken to the Alpha Council which is presided by the packs of the West. The presiding Alpha back then was lenient and decided to find a fair and easier means to satisfy both grieving couples.

Lyla would not have an inheritance in her fathers house, plus since there was no heir and no sign of another one coming because, after Todds birth, the pack doctors instructed her never to get pregnant again due to complications, an Alpha heir was chosen ... In return, after seven years, the Alpha heir would wed, Clarissa, in other to ensure the 187 The truth of her birth i continuity of Alpha Logans bloodline and to keep the Alpha title in the family.

Seven years passed and the treaty was not talked about or discussed.

All attempts to connect with Alpha Logan proved abortive, he ignored us.

I dont know whatever treaty you signed with Alpha Logan, and respectfully, I wasnt informed.

I have no intentions of marrying a woman I dont love.

You dont understand, I love Lyla ... I want to be with her.

My mother, my voice cracked, as I forced the words out ignoring Nathan .

Do you have any information about her? Is she still alive? A cruel smile twisted her lips as she nodded.

Your mother has been with you all this time, Lyla, she paused as if waiting for the words to sink into my brain.

Its Miriam.

Miriam ? I repeated.

She nodded.

Or is it Nanny? Shes your mother, Lyla ... the slut Sigma who tried to steal my from me.

My knees gave out, and this tI sank to the floor, unable to hold myself up any longer.

Nanny the woman who had raised me, cared for me, lovedwhen no one else had was my real mother.

How could you? I wailed as my heart kept breaking with equal parts heartbreak and rage.

How could you letlive in this house, thinking I didnt belong when she was right there ? Because I didnt want you to know.

It was easier this way.

She agreed to stay quiet, to be your disrupt our lives.

She gave up her place as your mother for Nanny, because she didnt want to your sake.

And for mine.

My chest was tight.

Every part of my body trembled as I tried to process the additional shocking revelations coming in parts.

You lied to me, I choked out.

All of you lied to me.

Luna Vanessas expression hardened once more .

What would you have done with the truth, Lyla ? It wouldnt have changed anything.

You would still be a bastard, an unwanted child in this pack.

The words pierced my heart, reopening wounds I hadnt realized I carried.

I pushed myself to my feet, though my legs were shaky, but I managed to stand .

Youve succeeded Mo... Luna Vanessa, I sniffed back tears.

Youve brokenin ways I would never mend.

I hope your revenge is exactly how you wanted you waited until khad a chance to be happy and then took the happiness away from me. All Ive ever wanted was to feel like I belonged, like was loved.

Youve made sure I never had that.

Luna Vanessa didnt respond.

Lyla, please! Nathan cto me.

I know its too much to bear but, can you pause minute ... for a Theres no pausing, Nathan, tears blocked my vision.

I cant trust you ... I cant marry you ...

a waa alandad with k 187 The truth of her birth i place...if you lovedas much as you claim, you would have said something.

Do you know how foolish it feels like walking around like an ignorant fool, having people laugh and snicker behind my back... I know ... a tear rolled down Nathans cheek. And Im sorry.

Please, Lyla... please.

I shook my head.

Theyre going to make you choose, Nathan .

You heard the men.

Personally, I think you should do what they want you to do.

Lyla ...

please! he tried to hold but I swatted his hand away.

Stay away from me, Nathan .

I hate you! I turned on my heel, my chest heaving with the effort of holding back sobs.

I needed to find Nanny ... I needed answers.
