113 Doomed !!! Lyla "No," I said carefully.
Except for the attack by Feral wolves years ago, I haven't met anyone like that.
"You were attacked by Ferals ? the Priestess arched her brow" And nothing unusual has happened since then? " " No.
"I lied again.
She studiedfor a moment, her eyes seeming to look right through.
For a soul - stopping second, I was certain she would callout on my lie.
But then she nodded slowly repeating her earlier statement.
"The Dark One is the only one with the ability to completely strip a Moonsinger of her powers, " she said almost to herself.
"Interesting.
Nathan stepped closer to me, his hand brushing against mine.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
“It means," the priestess replied.
"That Lyla might have met the Dark One somehow and maybe she didn't know and gods help us, if he took her powers then we're in for a bumpy ride.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt" Elder Eldric, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
"What bumpy ride? Explain ! " She turned to address the council.
"The Dark One doesn't just steal powers.
He collects them.
Removes them strategically.
Always with a purpose and with Lyla being Neriah's reincarnation - she was the most powerful Moonsinger ever lived I can't help but wonder that there's more to it than what we're just seeing " I fought to keep my expression neutral.
My heart was racing and my brain w running in circles, trying to figure out when Xander had taken my powers.
Was it that night of the ceremony? That was the only twe did something that madefeel strange.
I opened my mouth to tell them the truth but Nanny's warning rang in my mind Jus had parted ways and she went to her pack she had warned: Read the latest and free at before we "Don't let anyone know you're the Moonsinger and if they manage to find out, don't ever let them know about Xander.
It'll do you more harm than good.
"We need to understand what happened, the priestess continued.
"Every detail could be crucial.
Nathan squeezed my hands, a gesture of support.
But to me, it felt like another form of another reason to keep my secrets to myself.
pressure, "I'm telling you everything I know," I said quietly.
"The Feral attack.
Nothing more.
The Moon Priestess didn't look convinced, but she didn't press further.
Instead, she turned to the council.
"We must prepare her with or without her powers right now she's vulnerable.
" "And why should that be our responsibility ?" The elder who was a woman asked .
" She lost her powers... she has a pack, I'm sure they can make provisions for her to be safe.
Because of her, 11.
34 113 Doomed !!! now we are doomed entirely.
"Elder Mira ! " Ramsey growled, his eyes flashing with annoyance.
"What is wrong with everyone.
today? We weren't doomed before the Moonsinger showed up, what has changed? "Everything.
"Elder Mira sighed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm" "At least we had hopes that once we find the Moonsinger, everything would be fine.
She or he would lead our warriors and conquer the Dark One to fight those dreadful Ferals.
Do you know how people will panic if they hear that our so-called saviour does not have powers anymore? Do you know the implication?" "This is not tto panic, Ramsey gritted his teeth .
"It is," Elder Mira scoffed.
"We are doomed, Lycan Leader.
You heard the High Priestess, no one can defeat the Feral except with the help of the Moonsinger.
Isn't it concerning to you all ? Or am I the only one who sees a bleak future?" “There is no bleak future, Elder Mira, the priestess said quietly.
"I know you're afraid but there is no bleak future.
Although I cannot reveal everything, the Moonsinger will get her powers back.
Now, if you all will excuse us, I need to have a word with the Lycan Leader and the Moonsinger privately.
The council exchanged puzzled looks before one by one, they rose to their feet and started leaving.
When the hall was empty, Ramsey cdown from his seat and walked towards us.
His gaze rested for a second onand Nathan's joined hands before resting on Priestess. "You wanted to see me?" Ramsey asked.
"Yes, Alpha," she nodded.
"I see that you and ' Alpha Nathan are connected to Lyla that's why I allowed you two to stay.
The thing is, I think Lyla is worried about coming clean with everyone present, I hope this is a better approach .
