The Alpha's Fated Outcast Rise Of The Moonsinger novel Chapter 79

79 Nathan will not be the Alpha… 

Lyla 

I made my way back to the car deciding if I should be happy or angry. 

When I reached the car, Nathan was exactly where I’d left him, pacing, his face tight with 

concern. 

When I looked up and saw the concern in his eyes, I knew it was enough to soothe the storm 

inside me. 

“Are you okay?” he was by my side in seconds, brushing a gentle hand over my shoulder. 

“Yes,” I murmured forcing a smile, looking down. I wasn’t going to let Lenny’s words stir up old memories or pain. “Just ghosts from my past trying to haunt me.” 

Nathan pulled me close, pressing a kiss to my temple. “Was Ramsey there? I won’t let him hurt you anymore.” 

I leaned into his embrace, my hand tightening beside me. “No, he wasn’t. Lenny had a message 

from him.” 

“A message?” Nathan pulled back staring at me curiously. “What kind of message?” 

From the corner of my eyes, I saw Beta Jeremy emerge from the council hall, a frown on his face as he approached us. “All the Alphas are seated and waiting for both of you.” 

My heart lurched at the information. Soon, I would have to face them, have to formally give up my claim to leadership of my father’s pack. Perhaps my father would have made me his heir if I had been normal. 

It should have been the most important thing on my mind, but all I could think about was the words Lenny had told me about Ramsey. 

“We’ll join the council, shortly Father,” Nathan responded turning his attention to me. “What message, Lyla?” 

“You cannot keep the Alphas waiting because of ninny emotional problems like this,” Jeremy exploded, his eyes darting towards me with malice. “Most of them would want to return to their packs today so…” 

“Then you can start the meeting without us,” Nathan didn’t allow his father to finish before he interrupted. “She’s in no state to waltz in there and perform the rites or whatever it is that she 

would do. For Moon’s sake…” 

“And we should stop the meeting because of her?” Jeremy scoffed, looking at his son with 

disbelief. 

“We’ll join the council in a few minutes!” Nathan said quietly but firmly “But the council is free to leave if they so choose.” 

His father stared at him for a few minutes. He pointed at him, opening his mouth to say 

something but decided against it. With one last hump, he turned on his heel and went inside the

hall. 

79 Nathan will not be the Alpha… 

“Perhaps, we should join them. It’ll be rude to keep them waiting,” I suggested staring at his father’s retreating. 

“An extra minute will not kill them,” Nathan said quickly “Now tell me the message.” 

I inhaled deeply. “He wanted to meet with me. Lenny told me that everything he did, was because he was desperate to find me.” 

Nathan nodded, taking a step back and running both hands through his hair. “And do you want to see him?” 

I eyed him warily. “C’mon, Nathan,” I scoffed. “What do you take me for? I refused outrightly. I’m not Ramsey’s plaything. He cannot have me whenever it pleases him. So, I won’t be going. Let’s go in now!” 

“That’s more like it,” A smile appeared on Nathan’s face. “Though I must recommend his 

confidence.” 

“Believe me, Ramsey is nothing but a jerk and a big one at that.” 

Nathan flashed me another smile, his hand finding mine. “C’mon, let’s go!“. 

We started towards the hall when we stepped in, I gasped with surprise. Not only was it beautiful you could see years of history have been preserved despite repeated renovations. The wall was adorned with tapestries from every legendary pack leader. There was even an empty spot with my father’s name below. 

I pushed back the surge of sadness that filled me… so my dad was truly dead. 

Nathan and I walked side by side until we came to stand in the middle of the hall. Nathan squeezed my shoulders comfortingly and then went to take his position next to his father. 

The faces of the six Alphas present were all cold and steely with each Alpha’s Beta seated directly behind them, the arrangement formed a half–circle.
