The Alpha's Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger. Chapter 94 94: The visit

Nathan

Once Cole left, I returned to the other docunts spread on the round table.

There were appeals, lots of them, mostly from the people in the lower villages, complaints and appointnts that needed my approval. A few minutes later, I was struggling to understand what I was reading because my thoughts kept slipping to Lyla.

The last ti I saw her, she was a girl… but by magic or whatever reason, Lyla had blossod into a beautiful woman with curves that could kill a man and it has killed severally already.

Back in her house in the human world, I had caught a glimpse of the swell of her breast through the flimsy night dress she had on that day. They were big, at least the size of a grape or bigger with fuller and rounder nipples that kept peeking out of the dress, enticing .

Her hips which were round and firm, held a slightly enormous backside that moved whenever she walked and those legs… gosh… those legs – curvy and slender were the major highlights of all my imaginations.

I've imagined her wrapping them around or spreading them wide open… the lower part of my body hardened at the thought making sigh as I dropped the docunts and ran my hands through my hair.

I didn't know how much I could hold on again. My thoughts were going rogue already.

"When do you plan to tell her how you feel?" Ragnar suddenly prodded into my thoughts. i

I groaned, picking up the discarded docunts in front of . " Soon," I muttered. "After her father's burial. She's grieving, dumping my feelings on her would be unfair."

"That's a fresh excuse, Nathan…you're getting better," Ragnar scoffed, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "It's been four years already, just tell her already so I can move on with finding us another mate if she refuses. I really need to be with a woman… I'm running out of patience. I can't believe we're still virgins at this age." He added with a hiss.

I lowered my head guilty. "Technically, we're not," I grumbled.

"Those failed attempts at pleasing yourself with your hand?" he huffed. "I want to see how it feels to be with a real person. I never liked any of those things you do anyways."

"Gosh, you complain too much. Are you getting old already?" I fired at him. "Fine, I'll tell her…"

There was a small pause from his end before his voice filtered into my mind again. "And then, What will you do if she agrees? How do you plan to convince her to stay?"

Before I could answer, a knock interrupted my thoughts and ended the conversation. My father entered, a gentle smile on his face. I grinned back at him.

"Before you ask, she's gone back to the pack house. She's supposed to select a suitable cloth for her father and I sent two warriors with her, in case her mother gets ideas but I doubt she would."

My father said before taking a seat close to .

I laughed. "Thank you for the heads-up. And you're right, I've been holed inside the eting room all day. Life as an Alpha is sure tough."

"But you look surprisingly refreshed for soone who's been in etings all day. I thought I'd catch you dozing or snapping off at soone," my dad said.

I chuckled. "I'm used to sitting in one place for long. Alpha Logan always had attend all those boring etings…" I trailed off as I noticed my father's expression. His eyes dimd and his shoulder slumped slightly as a sorrowful shadow crossed his face.

He looked away from not before I heard his sharp inhale.

"Dad? Are you alright?"

He shook his head, turning to look at now. His eyes were filled with tears, his breath was shaky. "It's so hard with Logan not here," he started, attempting a smile and failing woefully. "He was my best friend, Nath… we fought more than we got along but… he was my friend. Our bond was more than just …" he trailed off staring at his lap.

When he looked up again, I saw the pain in his eyes. He was struggling not to cry.

"You know, it's my fault," he said quietly. "Logan's death – it's on . I should have been there, protecting him like I've always done. If I was there, he wouldn't have…." He trailed off again.

Since Alpha Logan died, my father has not been able to bring himself to say the words. 'Die' or 'Death' It was as if he didn't want to believe it.

"I declined to travel with him. I was angry that you were still locked up in the dungeon and he begged to give him a little ti. He wanted to tell Elder Eldric – The Lycan Leader's grandfather and see if he could use his influence to get you released….I never imagined that would be the last ti I saw him. Now Vanessa is a widow and his daughters are fatherless. They probably hate . As she should, anyways…"

"Dad, no," I said gently. "It's not your fault. Alpha Logan's death was a tragedy. He was a good man and I'm sorry things turned out this way. I'm sure Luna Vanessa and the girls will co around, eventually. You'll see."

He nodded, though he didn't look convinced. He even attempted another smile.

Then he placed a file on my round table. "These are the candidates, I've selected and vetted – four strong options to replace . They're all Beta blood of course… two of them are your cousins from your mom's side and they each have excellent skills in combat and administration."

I stared at the file, then at my father. "Dad, I don't want anyone else as my Beta. I want you."

A sad smile crossed his face. "Do you know, in the old tis, I would have been buried alongside Logan because of our Alpha-Beta bond? Anyways, I can't be your Beta, Ntah. For one thing, I'm your father and I might not be as firm as you need to be." He paused, his voice growing softer. "And one Beta must serve one Alpha. I'm bonded to Logan forever, you and I, we'll never develop another bond and I don't want to serve anyone except, Logan."

Silence filled the eting room, as I absorbed my father's words. After a while, I sighed.

"So, what will you do?"

He shrugged. "I'll do so travelling – maybe to the human world. I hear they have a lot of beautiful sights. And maybe… maybe I'll even date again." He added with a wry smile. "Don't be shocked if I co back with a woman and a child."

I smirked. "Having a sibling has always been a dream for . Please… don't let stop you."

We shared a laugh, easing the tension and sadness in the room.

"Still," I said when the laughter died. "I still want you in my council. As Grand advisor, just like Luna Vanessa."

He considered it for a mont. "I'll think about it, Nathan," he replied with a smile.

Suddenly, the eting room door burst open and my secretary hurried in after a man who was the person that opened the door. He wore a face cap that covered his face. My secretary had a mortified look on her face as she ca forward, panting with fear.

"Alpha, I'm sorry! I told him he needed an appointnt, but he insisted –"

I held up my hand, dismissing her gently. "It's alright. You can go."

She nodded and hurried out of the office. After she left, I turned my attention to the mysterious visitor who stood quietly in the room.

"Identify yourself and state your business," I demanded.

The man stood silently for a long mont, then slowly removed his cap and dark glasses.

My body tensed and I felt my blood run cold as Ramsey's face ca into view.
