The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 51

51 The Dark One’s revelation … 

Lyla 

I stared at him , my eyebrows crunching into a frown .

“ The Dark One ? As in the Dark One that fought with Werewolves a long time ago and the Moon.

Goddess sent a Moonsinger to stop him ? You ? ” I burst out into laughter , holding my sides as my body shook .

“ C’mon Xander ! ” I said with teary eyes , still laughing .

“ If you wanted to make me scared , your could have just said so but actually calling yourself the ‘ Dark One ‘ .

That’s not possible .

I mean , if you were , I’d be dead by now , right ? ” 

He was watching me with an amused expression , as a tender smile tugged at the corner of his mouth .

“ That’s because I love you , Lyla .

I wasn’t joking when I told you the first time .

I’ve loved you in many lives before this .

” 

“ Stop , Xander … you’re scaring me now .

” 

th 

He shook his head and continued .

“ There’s a connection between us and I know you felt it from 

moment I walked into your classroom , he paused , his eyes darkening .

“ We’ve been tied to each other for longer than you can imagine .

And each time , ” he sighed , wistfully , “ It’s the same fate brings us together , although I must this was the easiest part so far .

You look exactly like her … hands , lips , eyes and that body … ” his gaze left my face flickering all over my body .

I’ve waited all these years for you … ” 

I swallowed hard .

“ Waited all these years for me ? How ? ” 

“ You’re the reincarnation of my first lover – Neriah , a sad smile tugged at his lips .

“ We were so much in love until your Moon Goddess became so dramatic and turned her against me … ” he exhaled deeply .

“ But I waited , just like I promised , all these years , through Moonsingers of course until you came and I know this time it’ll be different , right ? I can feel it .

” 

The amusement on my face drained as I searched his eyes , realizing with growing dread that he wasn’t joking .

Fear began to creep up my spine .

If he was the Dark One , it means he sent those Ferals who tried to kill me .

“ You’re the Moonsinger , Lyla ! ” he continued “ This is not how I planned for you to know of course .

Usually , you’re much stronger than this without almost any defect ,” he stated “ And will announce yourself but , never in a million years did I think so much power would rest on the shoulders of a Nineteen – year – old .

” 

“ That’s because I’m not anything , I shifted closer to the door .

He was delusional .

“ I don’t know so inuch about the Moonsinger but what I do know is they’re powerful bunches who have led our warriors to war against you and ki … ” I trailed off , the realization of the entire situation hitting me now .

“ Anyways ” I continued hastily .

I’m not the Moonsinger and I’m definitely not her reincarnation .

” 

“ You’re ! ” he said his tone brooking no argument .

His hand went into hie nasket and from there he nulled out a locket onened it and need it to

me .

I took the locket from him , alarm bells ringing in my head as I tried to look for a way to get 

away 

from this psycho .

As to if what he was saying was true or false , I had no idea .

I gazed at the fading picture of a woman in the locket .

Aside from two prominent strips of her hair which looked like they were grey since the picture was in black and white , she looked nothing like me .

I handed the locket back to him , shaking my head .

“ You’ve really gotten me confused with someone else .

That’s not me .

” 

“ I knew you were going to say that ,” he chuckled softly , his gaze on me was still soft .

Reaching for the pigeonhole in the car , he pulled it open and from there brought out a picture which he handed to me again .

“ Thankfully , the humans have a lot of fun machines .

I took this to some picture place and they had this printed into what she would look like today .

Go ahead , and take a look .

” 

I nodded and turned the picture gasping as I saw myself stare back at me .

The same silver streak on my hair , the same eyes , nose , and lips , only she looked happier than I had eyer been in my entire life .

“ She … she does look like me ,” I risked a small laugh “ But it could only be a coincidence and nothing more .

I am not who you’re looking for .

” 

He gives me a small contemplative before he nods and shrugs .

“ Fine , let’s say you’re not her but you’re a Moonsinger Lyla , you’re supposed to kill me and save your kind .

You know that don’t you ? ” 

“ About the Moonsinger ? ” I nodded “ But anything aside that , again , you’re wrong .

I do not have any power whatsoever .

I don’t even have a wolf , Xander .

You are wrong about me .

” 

“ The orb , ” he continued quietly “ Whenever you’re in your heat , your power become more prominent .

All those times you touched the orb , I could feel it – your strength … everything you will become once you learn how to use them and … ” 

I held up my hands as if I could physically push away his words .

“ Okay , I’m going to stop you right there , Xander ,” I interrupted him .

“ Just stop saying this nonsense , you’re scaring me now .

This ….

this isn’t real .

You’re messing with me … ” 

But his expression did not waiver .

“ It’s true , Lyla .

That night in the forest , when the Ferals surrounded you … you shouted , didn’t you ? And they weakened .

That was your voice , your power as a Moonsinger .

You don’t even know what you’re capable of .

” 

“ And I don’t want to know ! ” I laughed dryly .

“ I told you I left Blue Ridge Pack for good and I mean it .

You know what , Nanny was right .

If I wanted to 

cut off entirely from my kind , I shouldn’t bet 

a human and … just take me dating a Were ….

or whatever it is you are .

I should have stuck to 

home , okay ? I want to go home .

” 

“ It was no coincidence that those wolves weakened .

It was you , Lyla … you must step up and take your place .

Running away from your problem won’t fix anything for you .

“ I should be the judge of that , I said my voice trembling .

“ I am not going to be a party to history 

that doesn’t concern me My heat is because I do not have a wolf and is not tied to any 

The Dark One’s revelation … 

diabolical thing , you hear .

” 

“ Lyla ! ” he tried to reach for my hand but I shrugged him off .

“ Why did you approach me in the first place , then ? ” I scoffed .

“ Ideally , we’re supposed to be fighting each other .

If you’re really the Dark One like you claim , we shouldn’t be sitting this close to each other having this conversation .

Did you know this and approached me ? ” 

“ Lyla ! ” 

“ Oh wait ! ” I scoffed .

“ You tried to kill me .

You sent that Trinax – Mr Dupree to have me killed for what I know nothing about ? ” 

“ It’s to put a mark on you ! ” he said quietly.

“ I would never kill you and believe me , even if I wanted to … it’s the easiest thing to do .

You’re not like your kind … you’re … weaker but I can help you .

I can teach you how to use those powers and make something out of yourself .

” 

“ If there is any power inside me … please take it .

Is there a way , a means I can transfer them to you ? ” I asked , tears springing to the corner of my eyes .

“ You do not love me , Xander … all these months you pretended just because you think I am someone – a ghost from your past and because I have powers of some sort .

” 

“ Lyla , you’re getting all of these wrong ” anger flashed in his eyes .

“ You would have had this reaction if I had told you from the first day that you’re a Moonsinger … ” 

“ I am not a Moonsinger ! ” I yelled .

“ I am not whatever you think I am .

My name is Lyla , a wolfless deviant who now identifies as human .

I am not who you’re seeking for .

Now open the door , I 

want to leave .

” 

“ You said you were going to stay at mine , his brows furrowed .

“ It’s barely 24 hours and you want to leave already ? ” 

“ Because you’re acting creepy and I can’t be around this .

I want to go home ! 

“ Why ? ” he scoffed , running a hand through his hair as if he was getting agitated .

“ Have I done anything to threaten you before ? I’ve never hurt you and I won’t now .

What’s so different ? What’s changed ? ” 

I didn’t answer him , I reached across from him and opened the door lock before leaning back to open my door but it wouldn’t budge .

“ Xander , please open the door .

” 

“ Relax and let’s talk about it .

Nothing has changed .

” 

“ Everything has ! ” I burst out , my chest heaving from both fear and panic .

“ You’re telling me you’re the Dark One , that I’m some Moonsinger with powers that do not exist .

I don’t want this – I never asked for this ! So , just let me 

e go .

“ Lyla ! ” he sighed softly , his voice tinged with regret .

“ I knew things would change once you found out but I also hoped you’d understand and see that I won’t hurt you despite being a threat to me .

But you leave me with no other choice .

” 

I was too angry to be scared now .

“ What do you mean ? ”

51 The Dark One’s revelation ….

He sighed , his expression turning sombre .

Before I could react , he flicked his wrist and a small , flickering blue flame appeared in his palm , casting an eerie glow in the car .

My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at the flame .

“ Whatever it is you’re doing , Xander … stop ! ” 

But before I could move again , he hurled the flame towards me , blinding me .

And then … darkness .
