The Alpha's Fated Outcast Rise Of The Moonsinger novel Chapter 402

Lyla

The moment my eyelids shut, the kitchen around me faded away, and I found myself standing with Nymeris.

Since her death, I could no longer communicate as effectively as I did when she was here, so each time she had important information to pass to me, I went to her instead.

And since I cannot shift because of the babies, too, this was a better solution.

Nymeris's world was filled with swirling mists and the soft glow of moonlight that seemed to come from everywhere and nowhere at once.

"What's wrong?" I asked her as she stood before me

'Danger is coming Lyla,' Nymeris said. 'Multiple supernatural signatures are moving with coordinated purpose. They're not random attackers, this is a planned assault.'

"How many?" I asked, hoping my racing heart won't jump out of my chest.

'At least seven, possibly more. The same corrupted scent we detected at the crime scene, but stronger now. More focused.'

"The same creatures that killed those people?"

'Yes. And they're specifically targeting this location. This isn't a coincidence, Lyla. Someone told them exactly where to find us.'

If these creatures were the same ones responsible for the killings, and if they were now targeting our temporary safe house, it meant someone had betrayed our location.

Someone who knew exactly where we were staying.

"How long do we have?" I asked.

'A few minutes at most, though the attack on this house won't happen right away. They would try to attack humans at a social gathering and put more fear in the hearts of the people to cause confusion in the hearts of the human and make them put their trust in these individuals rather than in their government."

"Can you identify what they are at least?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Nymeris's form flickered with agitation. "That's what disturbs me most. The supernatural signature is Lycan, along with other random supernatural creatures, but it has been twisted somehow. Like someone took werewolf essence and perverted it with something else, something that shouldn't exist in our realm."

"Something from the Dark One's magic?"

"Possibly, but this feels different. Older. More primal. Whatever created these things has been planning this for a very long time."

"What do we do?"

"Alert the others immediately. Kyren and the Hollow Kin members are powerful enough to handle these creatures, but they need to know what's coming. The element of surprise is the only advantage these attackers have; take that away, and they become manageable."

"Will they be able to protect anyone from dying?" I asked.

"They'll be at more advantage if they try to evacuate the people before these attacks begin. These creatures want to become visible to humans for the first time. Before now, they were operating in the dark. Now they know you're here. These creatures were specifically created to breach supernatural defences. The wards will slow them down, not stop them."

I felt my consciousness returning slowly "Nymeris, is there anything else I need to know?"

"Be very careful who you trust, Lyla."

I opened my eyes, returning to where Ramsey, Kyren, and Elias were still standing in the kitchen. They all had concerned expressions as they stared at me.

"Hey, are you alright?" Ramsey asked me, and he was already by my side.

"There's going to be an attack soon," I said breathlessly. "Seven or more creatures with the same corrupted supernatural signature from the crime scene. They'll be at a social gathering with lots of humans."

"Your wolf told you this?" he asked.

I nodded. "She says they know that we live here but will not attack for now."

Kyren turned to Elias immediately. "Emergency protocol seven. Contact the other council members immediately and have them establish a protective perimeter around the property. After that, send out a scout team immediately. Three squads. One to the edge of the human border. The second to any social gathering being held now and the third to Delia."

"Delia?" Elias blinked. "The siren. I thought we're not minding her for now."
