The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger -
Chapter 58
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

“ 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 replace 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 replaceing 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 .
These were the Core Alphas of the Southern Region , rulers of the strongest pack , who had governed and guided the region with unity .
But with the help of my father , Blue Ridge Pack , became the cornerstone among them .
Not only were we known for strength and discipline under my late father , but he was a compassionate leader who couldn’t sleep a wink if his people were in trouble .
Growing up , I was forced to learn each of the names of the families of the Alpha and their symbols and colours .

There was Alpha Calder of the Stone Hill Pack , a towering figure known for his fierce loyalty and strength .
Alpha Renwick of the Black River Pack was beside him , his eyes were sharp and lean as his gaze swept around the room occasionally .
Next to him was Alpha Grant of the Iron Ridge Pack , a veteran warrior with deep scars that mapped his face and one eye .
My father used to tell me stories about how gallantly he
fought .
Then there was Alpha Myra of the Silver Moon Pack , her serene , almost regal presence giving her a calm yet dangerous demeanour .

of people would vie for the Alpha Leadership , she murdered all the sons of the families that could become Alpha .
Though she was Alpha Regent until her son came of age , many have rumoured that he did already but she didn’t want to give up her position .
Next to her was Alpha Triston of the Redwood Pack known for his strategic mind and sharp wit and with him was Alpha Rowan of the Firestone Pack .
He was a man of few words but possessed great strength .
Together , they were responsible for the future of the Packs in the Southern Region .
Alpha Renwick cleared his throat and finally rose to his feet , his expression was blank .
“ I won’t waste time with pleasantries ,” he said in a steady voice .
“ We came here to mourn with the family of Alpha Logan and of course appoint the new Alpha but it turns out that we won’t be doing that .
”
He waited , allowing the words to settle on some of the Alphas who turned to him with confusion written boldly on their faces .
“ Yes ! ” he nodded with a deep exhale .
“ It looks like Nathan won’t become the Alpha of Blue Ridge Pack , after all .
