Then she drew in a deep breath .
“ You are blessed with a rare gift , L … 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 ims ,” 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 iming to be a Moonsinger just because of some ability
“ She did not show up iming anything , ” Ramsey’s voice rang outced 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

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 thates to your heart .
I nced nervously at Nathan who nodded to me from where he sat before closing my eyes .
I tried to recreate the melody that hade 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 fromughing 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
your
“ 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 .
I
“ 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 disyed 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 tough .
Suddenly , the Moon Priestess raised her hand silencing the room .
“ Enough .
There is an exnation for this .
”
She turned to me , her expression unreadable .
“ Your powers have been taken from you .
