113 Doomed !!! 

Lyla 

“ No , ” I said carefully .

“ Except for the attack by Feral wolves years ago , I haven’t met anyone like 

that .

“ You were attacked by Ferals ? the Priestess arched her brow “ And nothing unusual has happened since then ? ” 

“ No.

” I lied again .

She studied me for a moment , her eyes seeming to look right through me .

For a soul – stopping second , I was certain she would call me out on my lie .

But then she nodded slowly repeating her earlier statement .

“ The Dark One is the only one with the ability to completely strip a Moonsinger of her powers , ” she said almost to herself .

“ Interesting .

” 

Nathan stepped closer to me , his hand brushing against mine .

“ What do you mean ? ” he asked .

“ It means ,” the priestess replied .

“ That Lyla might have met the Dark One somehow and maybe she didn’t know and gods help us , if he took her powers then we’re in for a bumpy ride .

” 

Elder Eldric , who had been silent until now , spoke up .

“ What bumpy ride ? Explain ! ” 

She turned to address the council .

“ The Dark One doesn’t just steal powers .

He collects them .

Removes them strategically .

Always with a purpose and with Lyla being Neriah’s reincarnation – she was the most powerful Moonsinger ever lived I can’t help but wonder that there’s more to it than what we’re just seeing ” 

I fought to keep my expression neutral .

My heart was racing and my brain w 

running in circles , trying to figure out when Xander had taken my powers .

Was it that night of the ceremony ? That was the only time we did something that made me feel strange .

I opened my mouth to tell them the truth but Nanny’s warning rang in my mind .

Jus had parted ways and she went to her pack she had warned me :

before we 

“ Don’t let anyone know you’re the Moonsinger and if they manage to replace out , don’t ever let them know about Xander .

It’ll do you more harm than good .

” 

“ We need to understand what happened , the priestess continued .

“ Every detail could be crucial .

Nathan squeezed my hands , a gesture of support .

But to me , it felt like another form of another reason to keep my secrets to myself .

pressure , 

“ I’m telling you everything I know ,” I said quietly .

“ The Feral attack .

Nothing more .

” 

The Moon Priestess didn’t look convinced , but she didn’t press further .

Instead , she turned to the council .

“ We must prepare her with or without her powers right now she’s vulnerable .

” 

“ And why should that be our responsibility ?” The elder who was a woman asked .

“ She lost her powers … she has a pack , I’m sure they can make provisions for her to be safe .

Because of her ,

now we are doomed entirely .

” 

“ Elder Mira ! ” Ramsey growled , his eyes flashing with annoyance .

“ What is wrong with everyone .

today ? We weren’t doomed before the Moonsinger showed up , what has changed ? ” 

“ Everything .

” Elder Mira sighed .

“ At least we had hopes that once we replace the Moonsinger , everything would be fine .

She or he would lead our warriors and conquer the Dark One to fight those dreadful Ferals .

Do you know how people will panic if they hear that our so – called saviour does not have powers anymore ? Do you know the implication ? ” 

“ This is not time to panic , Ramsey gritted his teeth .

“ It is ,” Elder Mira scoffed .

“ We are doomed , Lycan Leader .

You heard the High Priestess , no one can defeat the Feral except with the help of the Moonsinger .

Isn’t it concerning to you all ? Or am 

I the only one who sees a bleak future ? ” 

“ There is no bleak future , Elder Mira , the priestess said quietly .

“ I know you’re afraid but there is no bleak future .

Although I cannot reveal everything , the Moonsinger will get her powers back .

Now , if you all will excuse us , I need to have a word with the Lycan Leader and the Moonsinger privately .

” 

The council exchanged puzzled looks before one by one , they rose to their feet and started leaving .

When the hall was empty , Ramsey came down from his seat and walked towards us .

His gaze rested for a second on me and Nathan’s joined hands before resting on Priestess .

“ You wanted to see me ? ” Ramsey asked .

“ Yes , Alpha ,” she nodded .

“ I see that you and ‘ Alpha Nathan are connected to Lyla that’s why I allowed you two to stay .

The thing is , I think Lyla is worried about coming clean with everyone present , I hope this is a better approach .

” 

The woman turned kind eyes to me .

“ You’re lying .

” She said flatly .

I froze .

My mouth went dry immediately and my heart resumed its racing .

“ I – I don’t know what you’re talking about ,” I stammered , but my words sounded weak even to my ears .

“ No , the priestess pressed .

“ You know exactly what I’m talking about , Lyla Woodland , ” she chuckled softly .

“ Just like Neriah , you lied about 

history has a way of repeating itself and for theting involved with the Dark One , I guess 

Neriah’s mistakes too .

sake of our world , I hope you do not repeat 

I didn’t say anything , I just shifted my weight from one foot to another .

I needed to be sure that We were both talking about the same thing .

I didn’t want to be thrown under the bus .

“ You have met the Dark One , Lyla .

I can see it in your eyes , in the way you hold yourself .

Stop hiding the truth .

” 

Nathan and Ramsey exchanged concerned glances .

“ Lyla ? ” Nathan’s voice questioning .

was e gentle , 

But I couldn’t answer .

I was frozen , my mind was reeling .

How could the priestess know ? I had been so careful with my responses and my emotions .

“ Let me tell you something again , ” the Moon Priestess continued , her tone dropping further .

11:50 

113 Doomed !!! 

“ Neriah – your reincarnation and the first Moonsinger was a woman of incredible power she was 

the only one that was able to lock down the Dark One and take away a lot of his abilities too which most Moonsingers are not gifted with .

Anyways , one of the ways , the Dark One stripped her of her power was through the most intimate method possible … 

She paused , as if to let the words sink .

… By having sex with her
