The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

151 You will not marry , Lyla .

Nathan D I chuckled , unable to suppress my amusement .

Dad, youre so tic .

| didnt know you had this side to you .

Laugh all you want, he shot back , though his lips twitched for a second .

But you need to choose a Beta .

So that by the tyou return from one of your escapades and you see your pack in shambles , itll teach you a

lesson .

Fine , fine , I nodded .

But you know its up to Ragnar, | said , referencing my wolf .

So far, he doesnt agree with all the candidates weve had .

Its not my fault .

My father muttered something under his breath but let the matter drop since we were already in front of the

pack office building .

When we got to my office , my father wasted no tin handinga stack of files that required urgent

attention .

For the next few hours , | worked through the documents , signing and approving where necessary .

While he stood nearby , occasionally explaining key points .

The complexity of the paperwork was a stark contrast to the adrenaline filled moments | usually preferred , but |

knew this was part of my role as Alpha .

When | was done , my father gathered the signed files for documentation and was almost leaving the office when

he paused at the door .

Oh, | almost forgot , he said , turning back .

Miriam called earlier .

Miriam ? | arched a brow without lifting my head .

Lylas Nanny .

My head shot up as | rose from my seat , anxiety fillingup .

What ? Why didnt you tellsooner ? Is Lyla , okay ? | forgot , Im sorry , he said .

But relax .

Miriam said shes fine .

She has a slight fever yesterday , but shes recovering now .

They took away her phone and other distractions to ensure she rested properly .

Miriam said Lyla will call you as soon as shes strong enough .

The quick relief | had felt from being reached out to moments ago gave way to frustration .

As | began pacing the room .

Why didnt she take my own calls ? | knew something was wrong .

I could feel it .

Why didnt she tellsooner ? Instead , they leavein suspense , wondering if shes okay .

They probably knew youd have this reaction , but dont worry too much .

Im sure shes fine .

Oh ! I sighed , running a hand through my hair as | stopped pacing .

When | looked up , | saw my father watchingwith amusement and exasperation on his face .

After a moment , he spoke again .

His voice was quieter .

Is that how much you like her ? What ? | scoffed , offended .

Like her ? Dad , I love her .

How can you even ask that ? 23:32 1/3 < 151 You will not marry , Lyla .

He gavea contemplative stare and cforward , placing a hand on my shoulder .

Im not questioning your feelings , son .

But you need to focus on your work .

Youre the Alpha now , and you cant afford to be distracted .

And before you get any ideas , youre not travelling to White Moon Pack .

Else , Ill report you to the council .

Understood ? | sighed before nodding slowly .

I getit.

But theres something you should know .

My father raised an eyebrow .

What is it ? Although | had promised to keep our relationship under wraps for now but I felt | needed to tell my

father so he would understand why | always wanted to be with her .

| took a deep breath , deciding it was tto cclean .

Well, | proposed to Lyla , and she accepted .

Shes going to be my Luna .

The silence after that announcement was deafening .

My father stared at; his face unreadable .

The longer he remained quiet , the more my confidence waned .

Finally , he shook his head .

No.

You cant marry her .

My eyes widened with shock that gave way to anger .

What ? Why not ? Because its not the right choice , he said firmly .

If you wont take my advice for anything after this ... | beg you , Nath ... you must listen tonow .

Just this once .

Whatever feeling you have for Lyla must die .

Forget about your future with her .

@ | stared at him, still trying to wrap my head around what he was saying .

Didnt you just hearsay | love her ? What does it mean to love someone if you have no intention of spending

your life with them ? I love Lyla ... Dad ... so much and for the longest t.

Then you can date her for a few months or whenever .

Youll realize in tthat feelings change and , who knows , your fated mate might calong .

| am not interested in meeting my fated mate , Dad ! my tone rose .

Arent you listening to what Im saying ? | love Lyla to death .

Either her or no one else .

Ive repeatedly said | dont want to meet my mate and Ragnar has accepted Lyla ... he loves her .

Theres no other mate for us .

If you will not approve of our union ... THIS IS NOT ABOUT! my father yelled .

Realizing what he did , he exhaled , rubbing his temples before facingagain .

This isnt about, Nathan .

There are so many things thats at play here .

| like it when youre happy and | know she makes you happy .

Anyone but Lyla .

Is this about what happened between you and Miriam ? His eyes widened as he turned to stare at.

W what are you talking about ? Oh ! | scoffed .

Dont play coy , Dad .

| know Lylas mom is Miriam and has always been for the longest t.

| also know that you once dated her .

| dont know what bad blood you have against her mom , but you cannot take it out on Lyla .

She doesnt even know a thing .

What happened betweenand Miriam was a mistake .

I never meant ... Its fine , Dad .

That was like three years after mom died .

Its okay to want companionship .

Miriam was a single , beautiful woman ... | understand if ... 23:32 2/3 WATCHER STA < 151 You will not marry ,

Lyla .

YOU UNDERSTAND NOTHING !!! he thundered , his chest heaving .

It is more complicated that what you think you saw or heard .

You will break up with Lyla because | will not approve of your joining .

If you disobey... fine , but just know this .

I will not be a party to your marriage .

My jaw tightened ; Ragnar was already stirring restlessly within.

I need a better reason than that, Dad .

Shes my mate and my future Luna .

What or why would you or anyone want to stand the way of that ? His gaze softened , but his tone remained

resolute .

| cant explain it fully , not yet .

But trustwhen | say this is for your own good .

Let her go , Nathan .

Please ... he tried to touchbut | moved away from his reach .

© That will be all, Beta Jeremy , | breathed .

I want to be alone .
