The Alpha's Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger. Chapter 215 215: Visions and revelations

Lyla

"From death to life, from dark to light,

Reclaim your place, reclaim your might,

The seal is broken, barriers fall,

Answer now your destiny's call.

Arise, arise, no longer wait,

Embrace again your forr state,

Through moon and song and will combine,

Your power, no longer confined."

I stared at the screen of Ramsey's phone, my voice echoing back at through the video. The lody was haunting and filled with so much energy that it sent chills up my spine. I watched myself sing, my entire body was illuminated in a soft, ethereal glow. Even hearing the singing now, I recognized the familiar surge of power that accompanied it – sothing I hadn't experienced, since that fateful day I was supposed to take the blood oath with Xander.

"I…" I trailed off, my fingers trembling slightly as I looked up at Ramsey. Sha clouded my features. Did he think I was stupid? Or mad or both? I handed his phone back to him, lowering my gaze again.

"How is this possible?" I murmured. "The last ti sothing like this happened was during the blood oath ceremony with Xander – the Dark One."

Ramsey arched his brow in confusion. "Blood oath ceremony, what do you an?"

I wrangled my fingers; this was the first ti I realised that I hadn't spoken about the ti I spent apart from Ramsey. All those four years without seeing him. Now that we're together, I should open up.

"I once dated, Xander…" I started, afraid to look at him. I wanted to stop, because what man would tolerate being given details about his woman with another man but sohow, I couldn't bring myself to do it.

"I didn't know he was the dark one and it was the year I left Blue Ridge. We started, dating, he was good to and all that. One ti, I ran away from ho and was with him and his father – not his real father," I added quickly "It was a Trinax posing as his father – Mr Dupree. It was during one of those tis that he revealed himself to and forced to open the portals to help him retrieve his power."

I sneaked a look at Ramsey. He had a calm expression on his face.

"That night, we were at so place at an abandoned warehouse and underneath, there were a lot of people, mostly human and we went behind the hall, there were standing stones…"

"Standing stones?" Ramsey's voice was filled with wonder. "Standing stones?" he repeated.

I nodded. "About five of them or so plus another stone in. the middle of the standing stones. It was huge and could fit in two people at the sa ti. Sohow, with Xander's help, of course, I was able to bring these stones alive and, in the process, released his power that had been trapped. The last process was binding myself to him through the blood oath. Nanny showed up at that ti and we didn't complete it."

"So, during the process you sang?" he asked, his features were still calm.

"Yes!" I nodded. "He gave a scrap of paper with a few words on it. I looked at the words and sohow, it was as if I knew the lyrics and I started singing, as I sang, that thing right here in the video," I pointed at his phone. "Started swirling around my body and it connected and him…"

"Wow!" he said after a minute with a chuckle. "I'm not sure you understand the significance of a standing stone, Lyla. He was trying to perform a sacrifice and perhaps later we would try to find the location of these standing stones. We need to retrieve them and bring them back to White Moon."

I looked up at him, confused. "What do you an?"

"The standing stone and the platform in the middle have been used for ages to perform simple rituals, during the harvest moon and Moon Priestesses and Priests in those days used it as a healing portal for soone who is sick, to communicate with the moon goddess. It's life extended in a way. That was why you were able to give him what he lost."

I nodded.

"Maybe this is a sign, Lyla. Maybe your powers are coming back."

I shook my head in disbelief. "No, it's impossible. Mother Liora said so herself and back when I still had my wolf inside of … wait!" my eyes glowed with excitent. "I heard my wolf's voice for the first ti, the morning after we…" my cheeks redeened.

"After we made love?" Ramsey supplied.

I nodded. "I missed a turn and walked into the Northern forest. I heard my wolf speak and now that we've been intimate again, all of these things are happening, maybe it's all tied together."

"It is!" Ramsey nodded. "I started having visions after I beca intimate with you and whenever I get overwheld with seeing the sa scene in my dream over and over again, I just need to be with another woman and it stops for about a week."

"Wow!" our gaze t and we burst out laughing. "We truly are fated to each other, Ramsey. Why did it take us so long to be together?"

"Because I was a coward," he said softly, reaching for my fingers and nibbling on them. "Now, I know what I must do."

"I think it's ti I take that trip to the Northern Forest to search for Neriah's sword. Maybe my powers just need an existing power to co alive again but then…" a frown crossed my features. "Nanny once said having a wolf and Moonsinging ability cannot coexist. Sothing about them clashing or sowhat."

Ramsey crossed his arms, his eyes glazing thoughtfully. "There are a lot of variables these days, Lyla. When I started having those visions of dying and being in a field filled with dead people, I t a Moon Priest and with his help, I was able to realize that I may be connected to you in more ways than one. He was also the reason and Cassidy didn't get married imdiately."

"Yeah, Lenny told , sothing about a breach and disaster, no?"

Ramsey laughed. "It was all a ruse. He wanted to preserve the connection I had with you. For so reason – which he didn't tell , he said I should never marry Cassidy and I should avoid it all cost. When the whole thing happened and it was clear I would still end up with Cassidy and I went to him he said I would never marry her. At least not in this lifeti."

"Wow!"

"Yes," he nodded tracing patterns on my arm. Things are shifting, maybe the presence of your wolf is triggering sothing and your powers as a Moonsinger are coming back naturally."

I swallowed hard. I wanted to believe him, but hope was a dangerous thing. I don't know," I admitted.

Ramsey reached out and pulled into a warm embrace, his chin resting on top of my head. "Don't think too much about it right now," he murmured against my hair. "Just take it one step at a ti."

I nodded against his chest. As I pulled back, I watched him reach for his phone to delete the video but I reached out, stopping him. "No. Keep it. Just for now. I like it."

He arched a brow but didn't argue, slipping the phone back on the nightstand. Our eyes t again, and sothing unspoken passed between us. Before I could stop myself, I leaned in, and we t in a slow, gentle kiss.

His warmth enveloped , the taste of him sending a rush of heat through my body. His hand ran through my naked form, kneading my mounds, pressing himself to .

But just as things began to escalate, I pulled away, my breath coming fast as I rembered sothing that had been nagging in my mind. "Wait," I whispered. "I need to ask you sothing."

His eyes had darkened with longing. He reached out for , trying to pull close to himself. "Can't it wait?" he murmured reclaiming my lips. "I have this wonderful idea…"

"Ramsey!" I chuckled wiggling away from his hold. "Rember we're saving our strength for the council tomorrow."

He groaned, running his hand through his tousled hair but he nodded. "Go on."

I took a deep breath. "Nyris told sothing about you trying to claim Xander's vision as your own." I hesitated. "How did you know about that?"

His expression shifted imdiately, his eyes darting away as if it was searching for an escape route. He opened his mouth, then closed it, as if debating whether to tell . I pressed on.

"Don't you dare change the topic? Please, tell … please."

After a long pause, he exhaled heavily. "In the first year after you left for the human world, right after I started having those visions, there was another form – A man who fits the exact description you, Nathan and Mother Liora had described to as the Dark one. He would always say the sa thing to right before I fell dead, that I would fail in this life too, just as I had always failed before."
