The Alpha's Fated Outcast Rise Of The Moonsinger novel Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Final sacrifice or not...

Lyla

Our warriors immediately formed a protective circle around me while Ramsey came to stand next to me.

I pushed through them until I stood in front of the line, staring at the hideous form that was Xander.

"Or I can make it easier for you. Surrender, and I’ll ensure you die peacefully."

"Even if I die, Lyla, I’d just be reincarnated with the next Moonsinger. I’ll find a better form and..."

"Not if I die with you," I said quietly.

"What?" Killian, one of the Elite Warriors, rushed to me. "You cannot do that."

I ignored him and continued staring at the Dark One who seemed to be a loss for words. He didn’t expect me to say what I just said.

"You will risk your life and the lives of your babies, you’ll risk putting your mate in perpetual grief for the rest of his life? Cassidy is still out there somewhere, and I know men, they never forget the women they’ve been with. She’ll replace you faster than..."

"If it kills you," I cut him off again, giving him a blank stare. "If it removes you finally from this world, I am willing to do it. You deceived, Neriah. You spun the truth to suit you. You gave yourself to darkness, and when you were caught, you lied about everything because of your greed. I believe the Moon Goddess to be merciful. She wouldn’t hurt you if she didn’t think you did something wrong."

"Well!" he made a sound that sounded like a chuckle. "But one thing is true, Lyla, you cannot survive without me. If I die, you die."

He made a casual gesture and sent half of the warriors who had formed a protective circle around me flying through the air like leaves in a hurricane.

"Oh, Xander," I smiled. "The prophecy must be fulfilled," I said, as I walked towards him with unhurried confidence, feeling Ramsey walk next to me. "The Moonsinger’s sacrifice will end your tyranny and finally restore order to our world. I’ll make sure you never have the power to remake the world as you want."

"You’re making a mistake, Lyla," I heard uncertainty in his voice. "I know you love your children, wouldn’t you rather give one to me? The one with the Dark energy. Everyone survives, I get my form and go my way."

"Over my dead body," I said quietly. "My children would not be used as sacrificial objects. Neriah, despite all her foolishness, didn’t allow you to do that, and you hated her for that, didn’t you? Isn’t it convenient that you tried to turn me against the world and everyone who has ever loved me? You made me feel unloved, useless... just like what you did to Neriah."

"Don’t put that on me, Lyla. It was the truth. I didn’t have to do anything special. Your world is filled with people who are more monsters than I’d ever be."

I nodded. "True! But that’s the order of life. This is what it means to be a werewolf and a Lycan. This is what it means to be normal."

"And you’d rather have a system that humiliates a young girl for years because she’s different and still expect that young girl to save them? Is that the world you want to leave behind, Lyla? A world where an Omega is treated as..."

"That is who we are," I interrupted him. "Even the humans do it. The higher your hierarchy, the more benefits you can enjoy. The lower you are down the food chain, the more disadvantages you’d have. However, this is too much talking now. The only thing I am ready to do right now is end you." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

He laughed. "Such fire! I’ve missed that about you, Lyla. But you misunderstand your role here. You’re not meant to fight me – you’re meant to join me, and if you won’t do that willingly, then I’ll make you do it."

"Never."

"Then you’ll die trying to stop me. And your precious mate will watch every moment of it."

As he said the words, he raised his hands and unleashed a wave of pure darkness that crashed into me. I staggered backwards with Ramsey breaking my fall. He had already transformed into his war form, standing nearly eight feet tall now.

"Are you alright?" he growled.

I nodded, and he launched himself at Xander with speed. Xander caught him mid-leap with his tendrils of shadow and hurled him into one of the tents that were set up.

"Ramsey!" I screamed, recovering quickly enough to send spirals of blue flame towards Xander, but he deflected them easily, his darkness was swallowing each vault. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Nanny, Terra, and Circe move behind Xander.

It seemed they were trying to replicate the ritual circle, which would open a portal for Xander’s demise. Since we couldn’t go to the ritual ground, which we honestly thought would be the case.

That we would be able to convince Xander enough to run after us to that marking, by this time, Ramsey had rolled to his feet, shaking off the impact. Blood matted his fur where something had cut him, but he barely noticed.

He circled Xander like a predator, looking for an opening.
