107 Awakening … 

Lyla 

When I opened my eyes , the Ferals lay on the ground writhing .

Even the ones that had pinned Ramsey and Nathan were on the ground too .

Both of them changed into their human forms immediately and Nathan rushed to me , where I was curled up at the base of the tree , shaking with fear .

“ Hey … ” he said placatingly , approaching carefully “ Everything is fine now , okay ? You’re safe .

” 

Alpha Renwick ran towards me , his eyes wide with confusion as his gaze flitted from me to the Ferals writhing on the ground .

“ H – How did you do that ? Don’t tell me … ” 

“ Take everyone back to the pack house ,” Ramsey’s voice stopped him midsentence as he hoisted himself up , wincing with pain .

He was bleeding from his leg and his chest .

He turned to Nathan , who was still kneeling next to me .

He was also bleeding from his neck and his shirt was bloodied .

“ Where is your Gamma ? ” Nathan asked .

I felt him freeze as he turned to Ramsey , his eyes widening with realization .

“ Now that you mentioned it , Cole is supposed to be here .

” Nathan turned to one of the warriors .

“ Where is Gamma Cole ? Why isn’t he here ? ” 

The warriors exchanged uneasy glances with one another and said nothing .

“ Are you both deaf … ” Nathan started screaming but suddenly yelped with pain as his hands went immediately to the wound on his stomach .

Then with a more controlled voice filled with pain , he said through gritted teeth .

“ Answer me this instant ! ” 

“ W – Well , Today is his off day , Alpha … he took his wife on a date to Islands in the West .

He won’t be back until tomorrow .

” 

“ What kind of Gamma leaves his duty post and the pack vulnerable to go on dates ? Is he not aware of his duties ? ” Ramsey asked staring at Nathan with disdain .

“ Is this how you enforce law and order in warriors that did nothing but stare at the Ferals .

” 

your pack ? Little wonder there was no one here to protect use these rookie 

“ Now you want faced Ramsey , 

“ You clearly do not know the consequences , putting the lives of people in danger because you cannot command and you stand before me with pride , asking if I want to lecture you about running a pack .

I could have you removed from that position this instance and put someone more worthy 

to lecture me about running a pack ? ” Nathan had a stiff smile on his face as he 

“ This is my pack … and I will run it the way I fucking please , Nathan said , walking up to Ramsey .

“ And I own you , I own your pack and I own everyone in this world .

It is my responsibility to ensure people leave .

You think being an Alpha is a joke … ” 

107 Awakening ….

Some of the Alphas drew closer , trying to stand between Ramsey and Nathan who looked like they were seconds away from throwing blows .

“ Alpha Nathan , you should taility for this , ehh … the Lycan Leader is right , Alpha Calder murmured trying to pull Nathan back but Nathan shook the man off his arm and advanced towards Ramsey , standing in front of him now .

Though Ramsey was at least three inches taller , at that moment , Nathan seemed bigger .

“ Is this even about my Gamma ? ” Nathan taunted “ Because it sounds like there’s something on your mind that you’d like to say , Lycan Leader .

Don’t let me stop you , go ahead and spill .

.

Ramsey scoffed running a hand through his hair .

“ Your impudence knows no bounds .

I swear by the Moon , I’ll have you sanctioned .

You still this is a joke ? ” 

“ It is you who is the joker because if I remember clearly , everyone here was fighting for their lives .

The warriors are living beings too … and the attack happened suddenly .

Even the most trained of warrior would be flustered and you expect them to stick out their neck for which of the Alphas ? Is it Alpha Calder , Tristan Or maybe you the Lycan Leader ? They were protecting the people that couldn’t fight … ” 

“ Nathan … ” 

Beta Jeremy tried to talk to Nathan but he ignored his father and continued speaking .

“ You call yourself the Lycan Leader who wants to save everyone … bla … blah … bla and yet , you didn’t , instead you were … ” 

“ That’s enough ! ” I rose to my feet, hating how wobbly my legs felt .

“ We should be thankful that no one got hurt at least .

Some of the warriors should remain behind to help us with the weak Ferals while the others should guide everyone to the Packhouse .

” 

Nathan sighed beside me , tearing his gaze away from Ramsey as he turned to me .

“ Are you alright though ? We should go to the Pack Hospital ” 

“ Or your duties as Alpha of Blue Ridge pack .

Look around you , Nathan … I’m 

ybe you should do the least shaken or flustered .

Your people need you now not just me .

” 

“ But … ” 

“ No buts , Nathan … after all you were going to accuse … 

A rustling sound from above made me pause as the hair at the back of my neck stood .

Before any of us could react , a white form leapt from the trees , landing a few feet from me .

It was the Trinax .

“ Hurry , take everyone to the Packhouse ,” 

The screaming resumed as everyone started running in the direction of the Packhouse .

I noticed the Alphas did not leave .

Exasperated I turned to them .

“ Go with them , it’s a Trinax … I can handle it .

” 

“ T – Then you’re the Moonsinger ?” Alpha Tristan stuttered , his eyes wide with disbelief .

throwing over my shoulders .

“ No , I’m not .

Now hurry ” 

The rest of the Alphas rushed after the warriors , leaving just me , Nathan and Ramsey behind .

Since they looked like they had no intention to go , I decided not to press them for it .

Crouching , using one of my hands to momentarily block my vision of the Trinax , I whispered to both of 

them .

“ Don’t look at its face , I instructed .

“ You shouldn’t be here , ” I heard Ramsey say .

I turned my eyes for a second to reply to him when the Trinax moved with incredible speed grabbing my hair and pulling me to him .

The pain was so intense that my eyes watered .

“ Lyla ! ” Nathan shouted and rushed towards me but the Trinax flicked his hand , sending Nathan sprawling to the ground as his grip tightened around my skull .

I opened my mouth to scream but no sound came out .

Whatever magic the Trinax was using had rendered me voiceless , trapping my cries within my throat .

“ Let her go ! ” Nathan scrambled to his feet , his movements were sluggish from his earlier injuries .

Ramsey was right behind him , with the remainder of the warrior .

It felt as if the Trinax scoffed .

It raised its free hand and suddenly , an invisible barrier erupted between us and my rescuers .

The warriors slammed into it and were thrown backwards by the magical force .

I struggled in its grip ; my lungs were burning for air .

Through my blurring vision , I saw Ramsey shift back into his Lycan and push past the barrier .

Lycans were immune to a level of magic .

He lunged at the Trinax , aiming for the head again but the Trinax again , was faster .

It snarled and stretched out its free hand , catching Ramsey by the throat .

Ramsey let out a strangled gasp , his face was rapidly turning purple as the creature’s grip tightened , his powerful Lycan thrashing in the Trinaxe’s hold .

My vision was darkening … whatever it was using , was working on me .

I wriggled , twisted and turned , my mind racing with fear and a new course of anger .

Something was stirring inside me again … 

“ No ! ” the word exploded from me in a burst of rage .

I pushed against the Trinax with all iny night , and to my surprise , the creature flew backwards , releasing its hold on me and Ramsey .

A surge of power burst through me like an electric current rushing through my veins .

My eyes turned pure white , glowing with an intensity that illuminated the clearing although it was still day .

Silver – white light emanated from my body , running through my form .

I could feel myself slipping out of control .

Like whatever was in me … was making it impossible for me to act 

on my own accord .

I moved forward , covering the distance between me and the Trinax and grabbed it by its neck and without any force , flung him to the other side of the clearing .

Nathan had long recovered and immediately , reached for one of the swords of the warriors

piercing the sword through their heads , soon a puddle of blood had settled .

The Trinax had recovered , its formless , shapeless face , turning in my direction as it rushed towards me again .

I grabbed it midair , slamming its body to the ground .

Suddenly , it wrenched itself from my grip and disappeared and darted onto one of the trees , disappearing .

The silver – white light surrounding me began to fade , my eyes returned to their normal colour and I swayed on my feet , almost hitting the ground .

“ Lyla ! ” Nathan rushed to catch me , cradling me in his arms , brushing the hair from my face .

“ Lyla , can you hear me ? ” 

His voice was coming from a distance , but seeing his worried face looming over mine … a tenderness washed over me .

I reached out , with my blurring vision stroking his chin .

“ This was nothing … ” I heard myself slurring .

“ I am not a Moonsinger .

Don’t let them take me .

” The last thing I remembered before I slipped into unconsciousness was Nathan shouting at the cards to call the Pack Healer , not for me … 

For Ramsey … 

And I wondered just before the darkness swallowed me , if he was still alive .
