The Alpha's Fated Outcast Rise Of The Moonsinger novel Chapter 211

Lyla

My chest tightened. "You can see the future?"

To me, Nanny has always been, Nanny – the woman who spoiled me silly and loves me more than my mother. I've never associated her with anything so spiritual as this. Even having this conversation with her right now, felt strange to me.

"In a way!" she muttered quietly. "It's just clairvoyance for important things that want to happen and if I'm bonded to someone, it's very easy for me to know when something wants to happen to that person."

"Then you knew everything that was going to happen to me? Did you see them beforehand? Why didn't you tell me that I'll be dumped on my wedding day and…"

She reached out and touched my hand, stopping me. "I can't…" she murmured.

"What do you mean? You just said…"

"You're blocked off of everyone, Lyla. I can't bond with you to that level to be able to have visions about you. The only time I can see what goes on with you is through some sort of ritual that saps energy and is very tedious, other than that, I can't," she shrugged.

"Not even a thing?"

"Not even a thing." She nodded. "Even Terra, who can read people's thoughts if she wants to, says you're blocked off. I thought it was just me but it's the same for everyone. But I think, Mother Liora did have a glimpse because when I went to the temple, way before we came back during that time you had the thing with…" she gave me a known look. "You know who…"

I nodded. She was talking about Xander.

"She already knew of everything that would happen and about the stars on your spine. Still, she couldn't bond herself to you in a way that would help her sense you. But we think the only people who can do that is…" she lowered her voice, sneaking a glance at Beta Jeremy who was swirling his drink in the air with a faraway look in his eyes.

"Nathan and Ramsey."

"Both of them?"

"Yes, but the one you've been most intimate with. The only reason why Mother Liora had allowed Nathan to help you when you you were trapped was because he didn't have deep emotional ties to you as Ramsey…"

I scoffed. "What are you talking about, Nathan loves me. He would kill for me."

Nanny shrugged. "I don't know, dear. I'm only repeating what Mother Liora told me. I couldn't succeed because I had a deeper emotional bind with you. I am your mother and…" she trailed off again, averting her gaze.

It felt so strange for her to say those words and I could feel awkwardness creeping in. Quickly, I changed the topic.

"So, you saved, Mother Liora that day of the Harvest Moon?"

"Yes," she said breathlessly. "But it only delayed the inevitable."

"Still, it must be so sad knowing that she would die… I'm so sorry, Nan," I murmured.

She shook her head. "It's fine, baby." Though she sounded nonchalant, I didn't miss the sadness in her voice. "She was very old, Lyla – very much. She's seen plenty of Lycan Leaders - she saw the three Lycan Leaders from White Lake Pack, saw Ramsey's father when he was the Lycan Leader and then coronated Ramsey too. She outlived her predecessor."

"You were close to her, Nanny," I continued softly. "It must still hurt."

"Well, it does," she shrugged "But the truth is, I already cried when I saw the vision and mourned in my own way but right now, I don't feel grief. Not yet at least but I know it will come. For now, it's … numbness."

I nodded but wasn't comfortable with how Nanny was trying to be casual about the whole thing. I also saw the sorrow in her eyes and I knew she was trying to be brave again.

"Don't worry, she lived a full life and served her purpose. But thank you, baby, for your comforting words," she added as if to justify her casual words.

My mind went back to the bottle of anti-depressant I'd found among her belongings. Was this one of the signs? I mean, I've had it rough a lot of times growing up but for some reason, I always managed to recover quickly – all thanks to Nanny, of course. So, I didn't experience full-blown depression.

Beta Jeremy immediately rose from his seat, his tone was cold. "Nathan, don't forget you're married. You can't just order your ex-fiancee to your bedroom." _{freёwebnoѵel.com}
