The Alpha's Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger. Chapter 424: Not all heroes

Lyla

I could feel myself growing weaker.

Delia was half-suspended in the air now, with her eyes closed and both hands turned up to the sky as though she was in a trance.

Around her, I spotted Seliora, the vampire guy and three other people watching her with admiration in their eyes. They must be the remainder of Xander's children.

I tried to stop singing, but Delia was feeding on my power, and my mouth seed to have gone out of control. A tear rolled down my cheeks as I dropped my head, but as soon as I did that, sothing caught in my line of vision.

I saw Nanny charging towards , like how she had years ago. A small smile spread on my lip, and I found myself murmuring,

"Mum!"

This ti, she wasn't alone. Behind her were Ramsey and Kyren, all charging towards .

Relief flooded through as I saw them. They were alive. They had escaped, and they had co for .

But I could feel the weakness spreading through every part of my body. My vision was growing dim around the edges, and I could feel my consciousness starting to slip away.

You can't give up now, Nyris's voice suddenly cut through the fog in my mind. You need to save your children.

Hearing Nyris's voice seed to wake up. The last ti I'd heard her speak to in my consciousness was before I'd had her killed.

But she was right.

I couldn't give in to the weakness now.

After that single thought, I saw myself shifting into Nyris. And in the next minute, Nyris took over.

Nyris lifted her face towards the sky and howled as if she were sounding a war cry.

The transformation broke my connection with Delia, sending the siren-Lycan hybrid to the ground.

I launched myself at the nearest of Delia's followers, my fangs finding the throat of a robed figure before they could react. These creatures had threatened my children. They had used to try to resurrect the monster who had once nearly destroyed everything I loved.

They would pay for that mistake.

Around , the battle was raging. Ramsey had shifted to his Lycan, so had Kyren and Nanny her wolf. The three of them fought through the throng, destroying as they fought their way to .

Unlike last ti, when Xander had to depend on the Ferals to fight, now we had a mix of hybrid creatures in thousands. I saw Delia's sibling, the vampire, darting from one point to another, heading straight for Ramsey.

Just as he was about to leap on Ramsey, soone charged into him.

When I looked in that direction, I saw warriors from White Mountains and other warriors from Hollow Kin. Their presence eased the fight for us. Kyren and Ramsey had bloodstains all over their fur, but they kept fighting.

Nanny managed to scramble to where I was and quickly shifted into her human form. She cradled Nyris, sobbing into her neck.

"Lyla, this is dangerous for the baby. You must find a way to shift back into your human form."

I wanted to tell her that I didn't intentionally, but another set of hybrids launched themselves at us. The fighting was growing heated, and as much as I hated to admit it, we were losing.

Suddenly, I heard a loud ringing in my ears, and Nyris fell to the ground, groaning. When I looked up, it was Delia, standing a few feet from with a smug look on her face. "What do you think you're doing, Lyla? You're bound to ."

She flipped her hands to the floor, and my body followed the movent, and I landed on the ground, breaking the fall with my side. Nanny noticed it and instantly tackled Delia to the ground.

I rolled on the ground, trying to catch my breath. As I was still Nyris, I was limited.

While I lay on the ground watching, I saw one of the hybrids jumping at Elias from behind, and as he turned to fight it off, three more charged at him. They managed to subdue him, and one of them, the one who seed to be of a vampire descent, sank his teeth into Elias's throat.

Elias struggled for a few minutes, and then I saw the light go out of his eyes.

A howl filled with rage tore from my throat, and I saw myself shifting into my human form. I threw myself at the vampire, sending spirals of blue light at him until his face turned green. I grabbed the next hybrid, twisting its neck and tossing it to the side.

A loud crash sounded behind , and when I turned, I saw it was Nanny being hurled away by Delia. Delia stood facing now.

"What is this, Lyla?" she chuckled. "The blood oath has been completed, you have now beco…" before she could finish her sentence, Ramsey ramd into her, throwing her across the other side of the clearing.

Our n were thinning. Delia's armies were stronger and had more numbers than ours.

"Lyla!" Ramsey's voice cut through my thoughts as he rushed towards . "Darling," he exhaled deeply, placing his forehead on mine. "I'm sorry for not being with you sooner. Are you hurt?"

Tears welled up in my eyes. "I'm fine now that I know you're fine."

"We need to get you out of here!" he sai,d reaching for my hands.

Before I could protest, we were being surrounded. Kyren, Miriam and the rest of our warriors were pushed together until it was just a handful of us in the middle, and Delia's people, like sand, gathered around us.

Kyren had shifted back to his human form, and he was panting hard. "We need to retreat now. There's no way we can defeat this number, and they're stronger than any of us."

"Are you just realising that?" Seliora chuckled as she stared at us. "You don't stand a chance. Lyla has completed the blood oath, and soon the effect will take place. She would kill you all with her song. She has beco one of us."

"I can never be one of you!" I cried out in fury.

"Oh, but you are, darling," Seliora said with a hard stare. "You have bound yourself to every one of us here. Your thoughts are our thoughts. Oh, there's also a way to get out of it."

As Seliora spoke, her eyes settled on Kyren. "You know that, don't you? Why don't you tell them?"

Ramsey turned to Kyren. "What is the way?"

"It's too dangerous," Kyren sighed. "No, I don't want to say it out loud."

"Just say it anyway!" I shouted, feeling my body heating up. My vision was blackening at the edges, and just a second ago, the urge to sing teased at my brain.

"It requires a sacrifice. You must die with them, by singing the last Moonsong that can reset the tiline. But it cos with a price. You must erase yourself from mory."

"What?" I shuddered. "That is the way?" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fıre·net

"The only way. You've taken the blood oath, Lyla. It ans that when the potency takes effect, you will do whatever they ask you to do. Your powers would be used to destroy…"

"Enough!" Ramsey growled. "Enough, Kyren. Is this a ploy to kill my wife? Is this a joint effort from Hollow Kin to deprive of my joy? No… that won't happen."

"Ramsey, I know you're not in your right mind, but I am only speaking the truth. We underestimated everything, and it led us here. Lyla has already taken the oath; there's no turning back now. She'll have to die."
