150 Maybe its fate … Nathan We arrived at the pack house an hour later .

Clarissa had fallen asleep at some point , so I had to take her straight to the Alpha house .

As soon as I walked through the gates of the Alpha house , I saw Luna Vanessa pacing the front of the house while my father hovered nearby helplessly .

Alpha ! the guard on duty called out , announcing my presence as he bowed to me .

Oh ! Luna Vanessa took in shaky breaths , holding her chest .

She nearly fell if my father had not held her .

Is she dead ? Of course not ! I chuckled .

She twisted her ankle , but shes fine now .

She even slept off .

Will you show me her room so I can put her down ? Luna Vanessa nodded , gathering herself as she led the way to Clarissas room .

I adjusted the blanket around Clarissas shoulders , positioning her injured leg between two pillows before I moved away from her .

Her breathing was steady now , the earlier pain on her face had now turned to fatigue .

I watched her a moment longer to make sure she was settled and wouldnt move her feet too much before quietly leaving her room .

As I came out , I saw her mother pacing outside her room , thumping at her chest , one hand rubbing tenaciously on her baby bump .

As soon as she saw me , she reached for my hands .

Thank you so much , Nathan .

I feared the worst .

She left the house before dawn saying she was going for a run , but when she wasnt coming back or taking my mind link , I feared the worse .

I covered her hands with mine , giving her a assuring smile .

One day , she would be my mother in law .

I have to treat her well .

Dont worry , Luna … shell be fine , okay ? Just have a healer look at the leg once shes woken .

I will , she nodded , flashing me another smile filled with gratitude .

Since becoming an Alpha , this was practically my first interaction with her .

Thank you again .

I nodded and watched as she entered her daughters room if only she treated Lyla the same way as Clarissa … a lot of things might have been avoided .

As I stepped out of the Alpha house , I saw my father waiting for me at the bottom of the steps , arms crossed and a stern expression on his face .

Morning , Alpha , he said in a clipped tone .

What did I say about informing of your whereabouts before leaving the house ? Do you think youre invincible ? It was just going to be a quick run , and you were sleeping .

I didnt want to wake you .

Dont give me that bullshit , Alpha Nathan , he bristled .

It was always the way he insists on calling me by my title whenever he was angry at me that 23:32 0 1/3 < 150 Maybe its fate … Before youre the Alpha , youre first my son and I ought to know when youre about to do something stupid .

You clearly sealed that forest and asked no one to go there for a run because of Feral attacks and yet you break the order first .

Do you think being an Alpha means not doing things the right way ? All thanks to breaking that order .

I saved Clarissa .

Maybe its fate .

Fate , my ass ! he spat .

She must have seen you going there and followed suit … he lowered his voice , his eyes darting to the door .

You know how she has always been with you .

I told you severally that the girl … Dad ! I cut him short , raising my hand .

Thats enough .

She doesnt like me in the way you think .

Shes what … 19 , 20 ? We all grew up together as kids .

Its normal for her to see me as her big brother .

My father glared at me , clucking his tongue as he shook his head .

If I hadnt been there when you were born , I would have thought you were switched at the hospital , or worse , that you fell on your head .

Shes been bringing you food every morning , hanging around the house every evening waiting for your return and you think shes doing this because she thinks youre her big brother ? I sighed .

Fine , how does that concern what happened this morning ? Im sure if I ignore her , shell stop eventually .

The point is , you must try to stop putting yourself in danger .

You dont know whos watching you .

Teenagers , whenever they have a crush , they lose their reason .

I will not be responsible for another misfortune .

So , no more runs in that forest ? Is that clear ? I rolled my eyes .

Yes , Alpha Jeremy .

Any other thing ? He smacked my head .

Im still your father .

Respect me ! Okay , Dad .

Sorry , Dad .

I said teasingly , moving away from his hand before he could hit me again .

We walked out of the Alpha house and started towards the pack office building .

First item on your schedule for today is the Beta selection interview/ meeting .

Youve postponed the Beta selection interview twice already , and the council expects your decision this week .

We need to get our reports in and do other important things .

I groaned .

Were still talking about this ? I thought we agreed that youd stay on as my Beta until the Feral situation is under control .

My father raised an eyebrow , shooting me a glare .

That was the plan , yes .

But Im tired , Nathan .

Tired of wearing two hats and unable to treat you like my son .

Being your Beta is constraining me from disciplining you .

Do you know how frustrating it was to juggle this role and deal with you vanishing for two days without notice ? The accusation hung in the air , and I couldnt help but chuckle .

I scratched the back of my neck , guilt creeping in .

Are we still on to that ? I mumbled .

I told you after the meeting , I stayed an extra two days at White Moon Pack because of Lyla .

Thanks to 23:32 2/3 < 150 Maybe its fate … me , she came out of the coma .

We already talked about this .

He scoffed .

You do what you want because you think Ill always be here to clean up after you .

Well , let me tell you something , Nathan : my patience is running out .

The chances of me ending up in the dungeon for beating you The Alpha of Blue Ridge pack are higher than me being kil by a Feral .
