111 Your powers have been taken away from you .

Lylaxe 

Then she drew in a deep breath .

“ You are blessed with a rare gift , Lyla … you’re the first Moonsinger after 10,000 years and seeing you finally means my time is near .

I’ve waited for you so long ” 

I stiffened as I stared at the Moon Priestess .

Did she just confess that she was 10,000 years old ? 

“ Your voice has the power to calm Ferals – one of the Dark One’s minions that took our form .

They’re dangerous , lethal and cannot be killed by even the strongest of Lycan 

unless you 

them first .

” ” 

“ O – Okay ? ” I nodded trying to act very surprised .

I couldn’t let her know I already knew .

weaken 

“ You also can heal the gravest of wounds , revive and give life but most importantly , you were created to destroy the Dark One .

” 

“ The Dark One ? ” I whispered .

Before the priestess could answer , a Moon Priest stepped forward from the shadows .

“ These are bold claims ,” he said , then turned to the council “ And this is not the first time in our 10,000 years wait that someone had shown up claiming to be a Moonsinger just because of some ability 

“ She did not show up claiming anything , ” Ramsey’s voice rang out laced with irritation .

“ She was forced here , there’s a big difference .

Besides , does she look like she wants to be here ? ” 

First , he stopped the council from kidnapping me and now he was defending me in the open ? What was Ramsey up to ? 

“ I apologize , ” the priest bowed his head “ Perhaps , a demonstration from her would 

claim .

prove the 

“ Of course ,” the Moon Priestess nodded then turned to me .

“ I heard you stopped some Feral wolves without hurting people , so I’m sure your power is under control .

Would you please hum for us ? Not sing … just light humming and any melody that comes to your heart .

I glanced nervously at Nathan who nodded to me from where he sat before closing my eyes .

I tried to recreate the melody that had come so naturally that night with Xander but nothing happened .

No silver light , no strange feeling just my cracking , dry voice .

The Moon Priest came forward .

His expression was kind but firm .

“ I’ll guide you .

You may not know yet how to harness your abilities , but I will help you tap into them .

Will you try ? ” 

I hesitated but nodded .

“ I’ll try 

The priest asked me to stand at the centre of the hall .

“ Close your eyes , ” he instructed .

“ Focus on the feeling you had when you calmed the Ferals .

Remember the light , the hum within you .

” 

I wanted to remind them that all I had done was scream not sing .

Who recounted the story to them for fuck’s sake ?

111 Your powers have been taken away from you : 

Still , I closed my eyes , my heart racing .

I squeezed them shut , trying to recall the surge of energy I had felt two days ago and at that stone with Xander .

Maybe if I try to remember the stone , or wait , the lyrics to the song ….

“ Now ,” the priest said , his voice steady .

“ Hum .

Let your melody flow ” 

I managed to get one of the standing stones into my mind and opened my mouth , came out .

I frowned , trying again , but the connection I had felt before was gone .

The murmurs in the room grew louder .

but по sound

I cracked an eyelid to see Nathan holding back a smile , I had to lower my head , biting on my lips to stop myself from laughing too .

This looked more awkward than that night , Xander had asked me to sing to those stones .

“ If humming feels unnatural , try singing , we will try to stop you so you won’t hurt anyone in the room , the Moon Priest instructed .

“ Focus on your healing energy .

Feel the resonance within

“ She just discovered she was a Moonsinger two days ago ? ” Ramsey’s voice rang out again .

“ How would she know what song to sino ? Or what to hum ? ” 

“ It is not taught to anyone , Lycan Leader ,” the Moon Priestess who has been quite suddenly answered .

“ It is a gift and we don’t know the words or lyrics as you might say .

The only person 

that might know is the Dark One .

” 

Makes sense since he gave me that scrap of paper .

Maybe that’s what I need .

“ You see , the first time I sang , there was this crap of paper , Xander … ” I trailed off , realizing I was about to tell these people that I once dated the Dark One .

“ What was that ?” the Moon Priest asked staring at me .

“ Nothing .

” I shook my head closing my eyes .

“ I’ll try to sing ” I pushed harder , my face scrunching with effort to remember the words but no melody came to my heart and nothing happened .

“ Perhaps something simpler , the Priest suggested .

“Just try to summon the light we heard .

about , the one you used directly on the Trinax .

” 

I nodded and tried again , awkwardly throwing my hands in the air like I saw Xander do but nothing happened not even a spark .

Or should I tell them about the stones ? There was something about it that must have helped me spark my powers .

Elder Eldric , Ramsey’s grandfather rose from his seat, a furious expression on his face .

“ Is this some kind of joke ? ” he demanded , “ We were told you displayed extraordinary powers now she can’t even produce a simple hum ? ” 

and 

I was feeling frustrated now .

“ I don’t understand ,” I said , my voice cracking .

“ It worked two days ago and all I did was scream .

I didn’t sing or anything ” 

Ramsey’s grandfather shook his head with disdain .

“ This is a waste of time .

Clearly , we’ve been deceived .

Ramsey growled low in his throat , immediately silencing the murmurs in the hall .

“ She’s not

lying .

She is a Moonsinger and I saw it myself ! ” 

My chest tightened as doubt crept in .

I had for the longest time prayed and wished not to be burdened with whatever the powers were but now , I wanted it .

So , had I imagined it ? Was the power just a fluke ? 

“ Then let her prove it to us .

” One of the elders shouted .

“ Maybe she needs a reenactment of what happened .

Since she’s just discovering the power , she hasn’t learnt mastery of it yet ,” Ramsey defended me again .

.

“ Are you saying we go look for Feral wolves all because she wants to make an experiment ? ” Cassidy’s father asked making the others to laugh .

Suddenly , the Moon Priestess raised her hand silencing the room .

“ Enough .

There is an explanation for this .

” 

She turned to me , her expression unreadable .

“ Your powers have been taken from you .
