The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 151

151 You will not marry , Lyla .

Nathan D I chuckled , unable to suppress my amusement .

Dad , youre so dramatic .

I 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 time you 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 , I 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 time in handing me a stack of files that required urgent attention .

For the next few hours , I 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 I usually preferred , but I knew this was part of my role as Alpha .

When I was done , my father gathered the signed files for documentation and was almost leaving the office when he paused at the door .

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

Miriam called earlier .

Miriam ? I arched a brow without lifting my head .

Lylas Nanny .

My head shot up as I rose from my seat , anxiety filling me up .

What ? Why didnt you tell me sooner ? Is Lyla , okay ? I 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 I had felt from being reached out to moments ago gave way to frustration .

As I began pacing the room .

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

I could feel it .

Why didnt she tell me sooner ? Instead , they leave me in 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 I stopped pacing .

When I looked up , I saw my father watching me with amusement and exasperation on his face .

After a moment , he spoke again .

His voice was quieter .

Is that how much you like her ? What ? I 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 gave me a contemplative stare and came forward , 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 ? I sighed before nodding slowly .

I get it .

But theres something you should know .

My father raised an eyebrow .

What is it ? Although I had promised to keep our relationship under wraps for now but I felt I needed to tell my father so he would understand why I always wanted to be with her .

I took a deep breath , deciding it was time to come clean .

Well , I proposed to Lyla , and she accepted .

Shes going to be my Luna .

The silence after that announcement was deafening .

My father stared at me ; 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 … I beg you , Nath … you must listen to me now .

Just this once .

Whatever feeling you have for Lyla must die .

Forget about your future with her .

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

Didnt you just hear me say I 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 time .

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

Youll realize in time that feelings change and , who knows , your fated mate might come along .

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

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

Either her or no one else .

Ive repeatedly said I 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 ME ! my father yelled .

Realizing what he did , he exhaled , rubbing his temples before facing me again .

This isnt about me , Nathan .

There are so many things thats at play here .

I like it when youre happy and I 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 me .

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

Dont play coy , Dad .

I know Lylas mom is Miriam and has always been for the longest time .

I also know that you once dated her .

I 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 between me and 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 … I 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 I will not approve of your joining .

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

I will not be a party to your marriage .

My jaw tightened ; Ragnar was already stirring restlessly within me .

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 .

I cant explain it fully , not yet .

But trust me when I say this is for your own good .

Let her go , Nathan .

Please … he tried to touch me but I moved away from his reach .

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

I want to be alone .
