The Alpha's Fated Outcast Rise Of The Moonsinger novel Chapter 215

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 former 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 me through the video. The melody 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 – something 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. Shame 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 time something 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 mean?"

I wrangled my fingers; this was the first time I realised that I hadn't spoken about the time 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 somehow, 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 me and all that. One time, I ran away from home 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 times that he revealed himself to me and forced me 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 some 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 same time. Somehow, 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 time and we didn't complete it."

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

"Yes!" I nodded. "He gave me a scrap of paper with a few words on it. I looked at the words and somehow, 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 me 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 mean?"

"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 someone 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.
