The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

141 Do you feel strange ? Lyla After seeing Nathan off.

I returned to my room, my mind still swirling with a lot of questions and conflicting emotions.

I barely had tto settle before Nanny entered, a thoughtful expression on her face Hey I greeted with a smile She barely acknowledged me.

Instead, she walked up toand touched my forehead gently.

Do you feel strange ? Maybe a fever or dizziness? Nope I shook my head.

Why are you asking? She hesitated, as she hovered over me.

Have you been having any unusual dreams lately or feel like you might be coming down with something Nanny I sighed No, Im fine.

Whats going on? She shook her head, forcing a smile.

Nothing dear? On cur there was a knock on my door, the maids had cto informit was tfor my bath but Nanny sent them away, insisting she would help me.

A while later, I was in the tub, sitting quietly while Nanny bathed me.

She seemed preoccupied with something and her movements were careful as if she was afraid to speak.

Nan I turned to look at her over my shoulder.

What is it? She paused, taking in a deep breath as her gaze was fixed on my back.

Finally, she sighed and said, Two of the three stars on your spine are gone.

Theres only one left : I twisted around, as my heart skipped a beat.

Is that ... a good thing? Nanny hesitated, then offereda strained smile, Yes, it is But I didnt miss the flicker of fear in her eyes Han I said pietly, I can handle anything, just tell me, is something wrong? Tellthe truth .

What does the lone star man she wouded my gaze, buying herself with washing my scalp.

Its nothing to worry about.

Youre pet progressing as expected? massuring enough and I could shake the feeling that there was more Her words didit to it but for the sake of my sanity and peace, I decided to let it go After any bath, I sat on the vanity table drying off my hair as Sammy folded the towels beside.

Today she was chadingfor not cleaning off in the bathroom which meant she had a lot going Bot something in the warmth of the room, the scent of lavender lingering from the bath, and the act afternoon sun madefeel an unfamiliar sense of belonging Something in White Moon Doyoneet stranger ? Nan ! I called out to her quietly, watching her from the mirror.

She paused and turned bleak Ves? Ive decided Im not going back to the human world, I said firmly, feeling my heart jolt with fear at the thought that I was uprooting everything to be here.

Her brows arched slightly, other than that, there was no other reaction except her lips curving into an, Oh Yes, I nodded with a smile.

Tve been thinking about everything and with the things I saw that Xander was preparing, I want to stay here and help as much as I can.

At least for now, until the Feral attacks pass or reduce.

After ward, maybe III consider going back but for now ... Im staying She didnt say anything.

Her eyes still held that bleak gaze but I continued anyway, my tone becoming lighter.

The initial tension from my previous announcement was slowly ebbing away.

And besides, I added, my cheeks flushing pink, Nathan proposed to me.

Technically not a proposal in every sense of a proposal but he askedto be his mate officially of course.

So maybe... just maybe I might be staying afterwards.

At that, Nannys eyes widened slightly Im so excited, I continued animatedly.

I mean, can you imagine? Marrying Nathan, becoming his mate.

Spending my life with him.

I laughed Ah... Ive got to admit though, hes an upgrade from all the men Ive been with, How many men have you been with? Nanny retorted without looking up.

She was putting away the washed clothes that cin earlier yesterday.

Ive been meaning to do that but was just too lazy.

Not a lot but with sshitty ones.

Still, Nathan is caring, he gets me, its like marrying your best friend and I feel safe when Im with him, like nothing can go wrong You dont feel that way with Ramsey? Nanny asked straightening the sheets on my bed. That was when I noticed something odd: there was a faint frown on her face.

She didnt look pleased.

Youre not happy about Nathan ? I turned in my chair to face her.

I thought you liked him more and why are we suddenly talking about Ramsey? Lyla, I just wish youd consider a lot of factors before doing anything.

Who you end up with is Important as a Moonsinger.

There are no second chance mates for you like other werewolves.

You can only be with one person for the rest of your life.

I stared at her Nan ! Hes getting married to Cassily Thorne not to mention what Ive suffered from his hand.

Forget all of this kind act that hes putting on ... Ramsey is a different person behind the screen Or maybe youre reacting this way because he wasnt acting the way you wanted and expected. him to do She sighed.

Dont getwrong, Nathan hes perfect but Ramsey is your mate.

Ive learnt so much about what it entails to be a Moonsinger and its beyond what we read in the Do you in fent strange? My heart jolted at her words and immediately I turned away . Dont turn your back on me, Lyla Woodland.

I saw everything, how easy it was for him to take.

your powers away.

How he blockedoff, how ... her voice faltered You dont understand how scared I was..The Dark One, I felt his power... I saw visions, Lyla... she wanted to say something but decided against it. I just need to train, find Neriahs sword in the Northern forests and everything will be alright, I murmured reaching for a face cream.
