The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger -
Chapter 132
132 Reuniting with the Dark One … Ramsey Ive never trusted in the supernatural .
I was not a big believer of the Moon Goddess nor the Universe but I could feel an unease settle all over my body , spreading to every part of my body .
I didnt know if it was the stillness of the evening or the way that it seemed like the wind wasnt moving but something didnt feel right .
I could sense it .
Where I stood at the lakes bank , my gaze alternating between Lyla and Miriam as they stood .
Knee deep in the shimmering water .
The evening had grown darker , the moon casting its pale glow over the surface of the lake .
The High Priestess had stopped chanting and the lake was too quiet .
Lenny moved closer to me ; his voice low as he muttered .
I just received word from one of the Generals , that one of the Werewolf Pack is under attack by Ferals .
Although theyre doing everything to quell it , its getting severe .
I nodded absently , still gazing at the two figures in the lake .
How far is the Werewolf pack from us ? About two hours , Lenny replied .
Send them some reinforcements .
Those warriors with those weapons from Blue Ridge should be among too .
Just a few of them reach out to Alpha Nathan in the morning requesting for more warriors that can operate the weapons .
Okay ? He nodded and returned to his former position as he prepared to send the mindlink .
I turned my attention back to the figures in the lake .
From where I stood , I could see Lylas face clearly and suddenly , I noticed her expression was what it was moments ago .
Her brows were furrowed , her lips quivering and her hands clutching Miriams was filled with desperation .
Even Miriam who seemed composed at first , looked strained .
Her eyes were tightly shut , and her body was trembling slightly as if she was caught in a nightmare .
My stomach churned with unease as I approached the priestess .
Something is wrong .
They look .
terrified , The priestess turned toward him.
What do you mean ? Look at her at both of them , I said gesturing toward Lyla .
Her face is twisted in fear and Miriam doesnt look any better .
This isnt normal right ? The priestess studied them for a moment , her lips pressed into a thin line .
I can see it doo , she finally admitted .
But dont worry , they must have encountered a distant memory .
The cleansing process often brings to light shadows of the past .
Her words did little to ease my growing alarm .
I continued watching anxiously .
In the next instance , Lyla began to cry .
Tears rolled silently down her cheeks ; her body trembled with an unspoken anguish .
Priestess , I snapped Look shes crying .
I told you something is wrong .
The High Priestesss calm façade faltered .
She moved closer to the edge of the water , her brows ewed in concentration .
This is unusual , she muttered , almost to herself .
Then do something I demanded , my tone rising .
Theyre clearly in danger .
Do something Les came to me , silently tapping on my shoulders .
When I turned to him , he shook his head and indicated that I shouldnt say anything else .
Sighing .
I moved away from the priestess and began to pace as I watched the priestess .
The tears on Lytas face were coming in torrents , and Miriam was shivering too .
The priestess began to mutter something , her hands moved in intricate patterns over the lake .
The air around us thickened , charging with energy that made the hair on my neck stand up .
Suddenly .
Miriams eyes flew open , wide with terror .
She stumbled backwards , removing her band from Lylas hand .
Her chest was heaving as if shed just completed a marathon .
Her breath was coming in ragged gasps , fear was etched on every line of her face .
She waded through the water nosily and fell on the bank of the lake , shivering .
Shes shes in her memories she gasped , her voice was high pitched and frantic .
I dont know how but the Dark One is there with here too .
Hes in our old house and … Her speech was not only disjointed but also , she was speaking too fast , making it difficult for us to understand her words .
What ? I barked , stepping toward her .
Slow down ! Talk to me ! speak clearly ! She clutched her chest : her breathing was erratic .
She tried again but her words came out jumbled and incoherent mixed with panic .
Inside the lake , Lyla still stood there unmoving as tears continued to stream down her face .
Her eyes were still firmly shut .
Miriam , I snapped with a firm but unkind tone .
Calm down and tell us what you saw .
Hysterics wont help us to solve anything .
Can you do that for me ? She swallowed hard ; her fingers were trembling so much that they gripped the edge of her gown until her knuckles turned white .
Its him .
she managed .
The Dark somehow found his way into her memories and in the house , we used to live in .
The was there , it seems , waiting for her .
Its so really ….
this is not fiction .
of course , I know ! the high priestess sighed , rubbing a hand on her temple .
My eyes darted back to Lyla who was still standing there motionless .
Her tears refused to stop , if anything , they seemed to increase .
You have to do something , Priestess , I tried to control the fearful tremors coursing through my body .
She hasnt moved .
Shes been like that for too long .
Do something , please ! The High priestess grunted and entered the water .
She waded gently to where Lyla was , her hands hovering just above her shoulders as she spoke softly , urging her to open her eyes .
Lyla , the priestess called gently , her voice was filled with authority .
Come back .
Open your eyes .
132 Reuniting with the Dark Ong … murmuring a series of incantations .
Still , there was no reaction .
The lake remained still , as though it too were holding its breath .
Minutes stretched into an hour , Lyla hadnt moved .
The tears kept falling , her face was pale and damp in the moonlight ..
Miriam sat on the bank of the lake , her arms wrapped tightly around herself as she rocked back and forth crying softly .
Whats happening ? I demanded hotly my voice breaking with frustration .
I hated being unable to do anything but to stand there and watch .
Why isnt it working ? The High Priestess turned to me after a while , her face etched with worry .
I think shes trapped , she admitted .
Stuck in her memories .
And if Miriam is right , the Dark One is the one manipulating all of this .
My blood ran cold .
What does that mean ? It means , the priestess said slowly he has taken control and might be blocking her from returning .
She must come back to us , its dangerous .
Dangerous ? My heart was pounding so wildly in my chest that I could hear the beating .
Fine , theres something we can do at least ? Tell me … what is it ? Ill do anything Miriam looked up , her face streaked with tears .
You have to try again , Mother , she pleaded , her voice was hoarse .
Ive seen what he can do first hand and shes powerless in that state .
Please ….
do something .
Dont leave her there with him ! The priestess nodded , her lips pressing together in determination .
She knelt by the waters edge , her hands outstretched as she began another incantation .
The words came faster this time , more urgent , her voice was rising and falling like the waves .
Miriam moved towards Lyla again closing her eyes as she attempted to reconnect with her .
Her breathing quickened and when her eyes snapped open again , she broke into a fresh sob and began to shake Lyla .
Lyla … please baby , come back … please … Stop that ! the Priestess chided her .
Thats dangerous .
What did see ? you Nothing ! Miriam cried .
I cant see anything .
Our link is blocked .
Hes too strong .
As if to confirm what she was saying , Lylas body suddenly fell into the water with a loud splash .
Without thinking , I jumped into the lake and swam towards her .
Miriam was too flustered , the High priestess seemed confused .
I grabbed Lylas hand , pulling her face upward as I checked her heartbeat .
It was still beating alright but I waited through the water , carrying her with me .
Help the Priestess and Miriam , ready the car , were going back to … There is no time , I heard the priestess shout weakly .
We have to try to wake her up .
If the Dark One gets to her she would be trapped until he releases her , by then , itll be too late .
Hes going to cultivate her power and use her just like he wanted with Nerlah .
We must try to wake her up .

think , I couldnt breathe … I could feel tears forming at the corner of my eyes , as the memories of a similar scene flitted into my mind .
My grandfather , running with my mother in his arms , into the pack house , shouting for a healer and my mother dying two seconds later in his arms .
Please , No ! a sob broke from the back of my throat as my throat constricted .
I cant lose , Lyla … please … you have to survive , please … Comment
