29 Keeping up with the Tanners … 

Nathan 

I trudged up the path to my house , my muscles aching from the long patrol with Alpha Logan .

I stopped halfway to reply to Lyla’s text .

It’s been more than a week since she left and we’ve talked every day since then .

Mostly texting and occasional video calls but I was glad she was doing well .

* evel 

I was processing my application to request a pass to the human world , once that comes through , I could go every weekend to visit her and rn before the beginning of the new week .

No one would notice I ever left .

As I reached the front door of my house , a familiar scent wafted through the air , making me pause .

The sweet aroma of curry stew filled my nostrils , a scent I hadn’t perceived in months .

My stomach rumbled in response – I would not be having pancakes for dinner again and a smile crept across my face as I rushed 

inside .

“ Dad ? ” I called out , grinning as I followed the

tantalizing aroma to the kitchen .

There , standing at 

the stove with an apron tied around his waist , was 110 father – the Beta of the Blue Ridge pack – feremy Tanner and the busiest Betal’ve ever know .

“ Dad ! ” I called out again , the smile on my face widening as I crossed the kitchen in two long strides and enveloped him in a tight hug 

“ Nath ! ” My father called out with a chuckle “ You’re back earlier than I expected I wanted to finish this before you came home .

How was patrol ? ” 

“ It was fine , Dad , but I missed 

You said you’ll be 

home by next week .

What are 

doing here ? ” 

“ Then should I go back ? ” he a : hed his brow at me , an amused glint in his eyes .

“ I missed you too , son , that’s why I came back and I was worried you were not eating .

I wasn’t wrong though … there’s no single food in the fridge ? What have you been living on ? ” 

He turned back to the pot , stirring it once more before placing the lid on it .

“ I decided to make your favourite tonight .

You’ve been working so hard and I figured you deserved something other than pancakes ” 

I smiled , feeling a lump form in my throat .

My father

and I were buddies and it’s surprising to me because we always clashed but since he started going on multiple missions , I began to value the little time he spent at home .

“ Thank you , Dad .

I promise I’ll learn how to cook .

” 

“ That’s a future impossible tense , Nathan but I’ll be rooting for you .

Go and take a bath .

The food is ready .

” 

I nodded and skipped out of the kitchen .

A few minutes later , I came down , in my Pajamas with my hair slightly wet and a towel around my neck to mop up the draining water from it .

‘ My dad was setting the table .

Ispite having one of 

the cosiest and most beautiful dining areas in the pack , we seldom ate there.

We preferred the small eating area in the kitchen .

“ C’mon , Nathan ! ” My father grumbled “ Why didn’t you dry your hair ? If it’s wet , it’ll break and become bristle .

I can’t believe a boy your age makes no effort on his 

appearance .

” 

“ The hair can wait , Dad , ” I rolled my eyes .

“ I’m starving and I’m not a boy .

I’m a man now .

” 

I settled on one of the chairs in the kitchen ignoring

dad who came up behind me and started drying off my wet hair using the towel around my neck .

After another few minutes of complaining about not taking myself seriously , dinner was finally served .

I took a bite and closed my eyes in bliss savoring the 

taste .

“ How is it ? ” my dad asked 

“ It tastes and smells amazing as usual .

Thank you , dad ! ” 

He huffed “ I’ve always been a good cook .

Would have ended up owning one of the finest restaurants in the 

ities .

“ You should consider that as a retirement plan ! ” I teased “ That’s if you don’t bring a woman home before then .

” 

He laughed .

“ Why are you forcing me to date , Nathan ? If anything , … I should be asking you … why don’t you have a girlfriend ? Don’t tell me you’re still a virgin .

I lost my virginity when I was 14 ,” he retorted .

“ That’s not what everyone says but … ” I shrugged my shoulders dramatically “ I believe you .

” 

29 Keeping up with the Tannors … 

We shared another round of laughter and continued eating .

Halfway , I looked up at him again .

“ I thought the diplomatic mission to the Southern packs would span until three months .

It’s not even two 

months yet ? ” I asked .

“ I wrapped things up early .

” He responded , filling up my empty glass of wine .

“ To say the truth , those Southern 

Packs are the easiest bunch I’ve ever worked with .

I’ve 

never signed treaties and collations so fast as I did with them.

They made my work easier and their 

women … ” he winked at me .

“ Ohhhh … ” I laughed “ I was begi 

g to wonder why you were suddenly glowing .

That explains things .

” 

“ So tell me ,” my father finally finished his food .

“ What’s been going on while I’ve been away ? But before that … how was your program abroad ? I’m sorry I couldn’t attend the graduation ? ” 

“ It’s fine Dad ! ” I nodded smiling at him “ The last one you attended , you nearly ruined a lot of relationships but it went fine and now , I’m back to Blue Ridge for good and yes , I’ve been taking all of my Alpha classes .

” 

“ Good , I’m so proud of you and everything you’ve

achieved , ” he nodded with approval .

“ So , bring me up to date ? I heard there was a Gala and a bit of chaos .

What happened ? ” 

I sighed , poking at my food , deciding what part to tell him before looking up .

“ There’s been chaos alright , and Lyla came back … Well , came and then left again .

” 

My father’s eyes widened with shock .

“ Really ? Why did 

she leave ? ” 

“ Same issue .

She had a huge fight with her parents and she cut herself off from everyone .

Masked her scent .

and her Pack mark .

This time and , she’s not coming 

back .

” 

“ Damn ! ” my dad shook his head , “ That’s so sad .

I still think Logan is overreacting with you know … what happens to her every month .

There are a lot of technological advancements these days that can help 

with that .

” 

“ Tell me about it ! ” I shook my head and pushed my plate away suddenly losing appetite .

“ And then she was arrested on the other of the Lycan Leader , attacked by a Feral and nearly died … She’s been through so much , so it’s understandable if she doesn’t want to be in our

world again .

” 

My father nodded ; his brow furrowed with concern .

“ Sometimes , I used to wonder what I would do , maybe put myself in Alpha Logan’s shoes and wonder what I would do if you were born with any … defects ,” He swallowed .

“ I don’t think I can ever abandon my child , worse as it is .

And I know you care about her a great deal .

” 

I swallowed hard , trying to push down the emotions rising in my chest .

“ She’s my best friend Dad – my only friend .

” 

We both fell into a comfortable 

nce for a moment .

I 

knew my father was waiting for me to tell him more 

and then offer comfort .

He never pushed too hard with 

my emotions and always waited for me to talk .

He 

would simply offer support even when he didn’t 

understand .

“ Anyways ,” I said after a while , forcing a smile .

“ I’m guessing you’ll attend the council meeting tomorrow since you’re here ? ” 

Before my father could respond , a loud knock sounded at the door , startling both of us .

We exchanged puzzled glances – 

“ Are you expecting anyone ? ” I asked my dad as the knock came again , firmer than before .

“ Nope ! You ? ” 

“ No ! ” I shook my head , wondering who could be talking 

on the Pack’s Beta’s door by this time .

“ I’ll get it , ” My father said rising from the table .

I 

watched him go , a strange feeling settling in the pit of my stomach .

A moment later , my father returned but his face was pale with shock .

Behind him stood none other than Alpha Ramsey – the Lycan Leader .
