112 Split – second decision … 

Lyla co 

Silence fell over the council hall .

My knees nearly buckled .

“ Taken ? ” Nathan asked .

“ How is that possible ? ” 

The priest touched my face gently .

There are ancient magics at work here .

Someone – or something – has stripped you of your abilities .

” 

The Trinax , I realized .

“ When it grabbed me … ” 

“ It is not possible , the priestess shook her head .

“ Yes , the Trinax are creatures of dark magic that haunt the sleep world and our mind .

They create a world where they constantly push you 

who into thinking of failures or the things that can or could have happened that’s why anyone stares at the face of a Trinax longer than 10 seconds will go mad but they cannot take away the power of a Moonsinger .

” 

Ramsey’s grandfather scoffed .

“ Convenient excuse .

Look , from all the history books I’ve read , the Moonsinger is always someone so elegant , adept in fighting and perfect in all their ways , not her … she’s a deviant to begin with if she cannot control herself then … ” 

“ ELDER ELDRIC ” Ramsey’s voice rang out in annoyance silencing his grandfather .

“ How can you be so crass in your speech ? If not for anything … but for the sake of the dignity of this council , you should show some respect to the daughter of the you .

an who risked his life to s 

His grandfather mumbled something but didn’t say anything else .

My fists clenched to my sides , anger and humiliation bubbling within me .

But Nathan stepped forward , with a commanding 

tone .

“ She is the Moonsinger .

Whether her powers are active or not we shouldn’t look down at her without first knowing the cause .

He turned to the Priestess .

“ If it’s not the Trinax then who could have taken the powers away ? ” 

“ Can we close the meeting at least ? ” Elder Thorne spoke suddenly .

“ We’re not about to listen to a question and answer session wh 

we have other things to do .

Couldn’t the Moon Goddess have given us a Lycan as a Moonsinger ? She keeps skipping us and appointing these 

werewolves .

” 

My ears burned red with embarrassment as I stared at the “ ty of Cassidy’s father .

“ Who knows , you might have displayed such fine powers because of the fear .

If I had a Feral and a Trinax attacking from all sides , I’m sure I’d have ten times my strength now ,” he added with a scoff .

The rest of the Elders shared mocking laughter .

I lowered my head , trying to fight the tears that gathered at the corner of my eyes now .

“ Elder Thorne ,” Ramsey said in an unmistakably cold tone .

“ You’re suspended from the council until further notice .

Have your subordinate replace vou during meetings .

If I see vou an inch

within the council hall , I’ll make sure you’re stripped of all your titles entirely ” 

Silence reigned in the hall , partly because of how quiet Ramsey had given the order .

He didn’t even raise his voice but you could see the seriousness on his face and heart it in his tone .

“ You can’t dismiss me , Lycan Leader , Elder Thorne rose to his feet .

“ Aside from the fact that this council cannot function without me , I am to be your father – in – law .

Is this how you plan to treat 

Lycans were audacious creatures .

I don’t think anyone had ever challenged my father openly as they were doing to Ramsey .

“ I’ll give you until sixty seconds to leave with your dignity , Ramsey continued quietly “ Or I’ll have you thrown away ” 

“ Why ? ” Elder Thorne smirked his eyes flitting between me and Ramsey “ Is that how much the deviant pleases you that you’re now favouring her over me ? A mere werewolf without a wolf ? ” 

“ Elder Thorne , that’s enough , Lenny who had been standing quietly beside Ramsey came forward and walked towards his .

“ Leave ! ” 

“ If anyone should leave then it should be our Lycan Leader and not me ,” Elder Thorne continued .

“ He fought with a werewolf over a woman at the funeral , he has constantly looked down on our traditions , kept my daughter waiting for four years and … ” 

“ That’s enough … ” Lenny growled and motioned to the guards standing at the entrance of the 

hall .

When they came closer to him , Elder Thorne swatted their hands away declaring he would leave by himself .

All the while , none of the other Elders said a word , if anything they were quict .

After Elder Thorne was removed , Ramsey turned to the Priestess , “ Please tell us , how did she lose her power ? ” 

“ The Dark One is the only person with the ability and skills to shut down her powers more like numbing .

I heard one time that he can extract a portion of a Moonsinger’s power and use it against them , in the process , he might also lock off their energy points .

” 

I swallowed hard .

“ I also realized when she walked into the room at first that she’s a reincarnation of the first Moonsinger , the priestess added .

“ That happened centuries ago ,” one of the Elders , a woman suddenly spoke .

I noticed she was silent the entire time and didn’t join the men when they were laughing and making jokes .

“ How can you be certain ? ” 

“ I am the High priestess of the Moon Goddess and for every High Priestess that passes away , the new High Priestess would be bestowed with all the memories of the former one .

That is , what happened over 100 years before me and being a Sigma wolf makes it easier .

The Elder nodded .

“ So , you’re saying she’s a reincarnation of the first Moonsinger ? ” Nathari asked .

112 Split – second decision ….

“ Yes , her name was Neriah .

She was the only child of her family and Alpha Thriad and the one who released the powers of the Dark One , unknowingly of course because of how trickish he was .

He was able to convince her to do it .

They were on the verge of getting joined and mated .

for life when the Moon Goddess intervened .

” 

“ Should we be worried that she’s the reincarnation ? Ramsey asked , leaning forward , his voice was tinged with worry .

“ Every Moonsinger is a reincarnation of the past one and not the one from years ago which is confusing to me .

The last Moonsinger was a man – a general of the fourth ranks from the packs across the sea , the Priestess said .

Was he the man I used to see myself as in my dreams ? I wondered silently .

The priestess came to me again , leaning forward as her piercing eyes studied me intently .

“ Have you had an encounter with the Dark One himself ? ” she asked .

The hall fell silent .

I could feel the weight of everyone’s expectations pressing down on me .

The council members watched me closely , their gazes intense and searching .

Nathan came forward and stood nearby .

His presence was both comforting and suffocating .

I hesitated .

I knew the truth my encounter with the Dark One – Xander was something I had kept hidden for years .

But given the way everyone was acting , the suspicion and pressure surrounding me .

I made a split decision
