The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 159

159 My child is not a mistake ! High Priestess Liora No ! Miriam shrieked .

We cant let her know .

She said frantically .

Shes so tender hearted , Mother .

Shes suffered so much already , spent her entire teenage age dealing with her pheromones , and now that she has her life figured out a bit , I wouldnt want to wear her out by telling her that shes abnormal again ! Then what do you suggest we do , Miriam ? We have to stop her wolf from manifesting Miriam replied , pushing herself to her feet , her fists clenched .

Im going to stop it .

What do you mean ? I rose to my feet .

Im going to clamp her wolf , she replied , her voice shaking from desperation .

Theres a way I could use those pearls I once had .

Itll suppress the wolf and would stop her from manifesting , and she wont even know .

Restricting a two tailed wolf with a pearl has always ended in disaster .

When confined , their power becomes uncontrollable .

Is that what you want for Lyla ? Its the only way to protect her , Miriam shouted , her voice cracking .

If the Lycans discover what she is , theyll kill her without considering her powers as a Moonsinger .

Do you understand me ? Theyll kill her , Mother Liora ! I shook my head , trying to calm her down .

Things may change , Miriam .

Right now , shes doing good , helping the warriors , and Im sure her wolf has been the one responsible for everything she has done so far because her powers as a Moonsinger were taken away .

Its no longer there .

Perhaps … No ! Miriam interrupted me , her face flushed with anger .

You dont understand .

Shes my daughter ! My child ! I know whats best for her not you , not anyone else .

I sighed .

Its fine , do whatever you want .

Youve always been this way This way ? she huffed .

Yes , Miriam … I was growing annoyed .

Youre being reckless again .

You always have been headstrong .

This isnt a choice you can make for her ! Miriam scoffed bitterly , her lips curling into a hollow smile .

Reckless ? Yes .

Maybe I am , and I dont regret it .

It is my recklessness that got me reunited with my child … youre not a mother ; you cannot know what it means to stay powerless , knowing your child is within your grasp , watching her call another woman mother and knowing you have limitations , but I choose this life .

Better this than slaving away at the temple doing nothing .

Miriam , watch your words ! I chided her .

Leaving the temple leaving all of this behind was the best thing I ever did .

You dont get to 1/3 159 My child is not a mistaket Your carelessness , your curiosity , caused all of this .

Because of you , I snapped , my voice rising .

You released something into this world that should never have been .

You birthed a power far worse than the Dark One .

Miriam froze , her breath catching as new tears rolled down her face .

This time , her expression .

was more broken than angry .

How dare you ? She whispered hoarsely .

Do you think I wanted this ? That I chose this ? I fell in love , Mother Liora .

I fell in love with a man who loved me back .

Oh , please ! I scoffed .

He rejected you ; he wanted nothing to do with you and your child .

You broke his family .

* HE LOVED ME ! She yelled , poking her chest with her index finger .

And so dearly .

He loved our child , too .

Thats not what the stories say , I returned , meeting her gaze .

This illusion you have created about love , Miriam … you think because the women at the temple dont have mates nor ever became mothers , we do not know what it means to love ? Do you know how many nights I spent berating myself for everything that happened to you ? How hard was it for us to continue our duties after you left ? How difficult it was to go against our oaths … we lied for you , Miriam … seven women , including myself … paid the penance by lying because we couldnt afford to

let one mistake define you .

My child is not a mistake ! she retorted fiercely .

She is ! I fired back .

You should never have slept with him .

This is a punishment from the goddess , and you must bear it .

You must accept that your child … I will not accept anything , she cut me short .

If the Moon Goddess wanted me to serve her , why did she give me these feelings ? Why did she give us the ability to love ? Why did she make me love him ? She sits there , folds her hands and does nothing .

My child is the Moonsinger and not what she wants it to be .

You had the silver mark , Miriam , and you met with another man that had the mark of the sun .

What were you expecting ? The moon goddess is not to be blamed .

She doesnt make Two tailed wolves .

That is the product of your indiscretions .

Youre supposed to be hers and hers alone … but failed .

Let her deal with it then ! Miriam shouted back .

If she wants to punish me , let her punish me and leave my child alone .

I am at fault … she didnt beg to be born .

Let her come on to me like a woman to woman , and well settle .

Stop , Miriam , I yelled .

Stop saying vain words .

I will … she said coldly .

And I hope shes not deaf and hears everything I will say .

I will never become a High Priestess … Miriam ! I would never serve her .

Ill do as I please .

Let men touch me as they want , desecrate this body 11:56 (2 159 My child is not a mistake ! I would never serve her .

Ill do as I please .

Let men touch me as they want , desecrate this body .

to my pleasure .

If she touches my child … if she makes her suffer once more from her ridiculous experiments , then Ill make sure I use the powers inside me for my pleasure .

Ill gladly do so , even if it means joining hands with the Dark One .

Ill take revenge ! I trembled .

Miriam … take back your words ! She ignored me , and came to where I was , her eyes were glittering with rage .

Well , Mother Liora … I will not sit back and watch her mistreat my baby again .

Ill fight back With that , she stormed towards the door .

With one hand on the handle , she looked back over her shoulder , pure defiance in her gaze .

Dont expect me for evening devotion , and you can ask the moon goddess to bring your food , make your bathe and change your sheets because I wont .

Goodnight ! she spat before slamming the door behind her .

I stood still for a long moment , staring at the closed door .

The conversation I just had now pressing into me like an invisible stone on my chest .

With a deep breath , I sank back into my chair , rubbing my temples as though trying to ward off an impending headache .

chair , rubbing my temples as though trying to Moon Goddess , I whispered under my breath .

Forgive her , guide me ; this path is dark indeed .
