The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 87

87 You killed , Dad … 

Lyla 

I stretched lazily like a cat , yawning as I pulled myself into a sitting position .

This was probably one of the best sleeps I’ve had in years .

Last night after the meeting , I wanted to go home – back to the Packhouse , but Nathan had insisted I sleep over at theirs .

He was worried that my mother might get provoked if she saw me there in the morning .

Beta Jeremy barely said a word to us when I followed them into the Beta house .

After we had freshened up and I and Nathan were getting ready for bed , he came into the room and asked Nathan to come and share his bed with him .

Despite all of Nathan’s pleas that he was going to take the couch in his room , his father had refused .

Pulling back the covers , I slipped out of bed and padded to the window , pulling the curtain aside to take in the view .

The sun had just begun to rise , illuminating the green stretches of land that was Blue Ridge Pack .

The morning dew sparkled on the grass like scattered diamonds while a whisp of mist rolled out from the mountains in the distance .

The sight was so beautiful that I just stood there staring at 

it … not thinking … just staring .

I was 

so lost in it that I didn’t hear Nathan approach until I heard his voice .

“ Enjoying the view ? ” 

I jumped slightly , turning to see him leaning against the doorframe , a soft smile on his face .

“ What are you looking at ? ” he asked again , stepping inside , as his gaze shifted from me to the beautiful landscape beyond the window .

A smile tugged at my lips as I pointed toward the scenery .

“ I didn’t know it was this beautiful ,” I admitted softly .

“ I mean , I’ve lived here for most of my life but somehow … ” I trailed off , unable to 

describe how different everything looked now , as if my four years away had given me new eyes to see the beauty , I’d taken for granted before .

Nathan nodded and came to stand beside me , close enough that our hands brushed against each other .

I remembered what his father had told me last night and I wondered if it was true .

If Nathan felt something more than friendship for me .

“ You should see it in spring ” he sighed softly , with a wistful smile on his face .

“ It’s much more beautiful .

And I think it has its own quiet strength .

The kind you don’t always notice but can always feel .

I guess it’s easy to overlook … until you need it .

Turning me away from the scenery , I faced him .

“ So , what’s your schedule like today ? Your first day as an Alpha .

” 

He sighed , “ I’ll be busy for most of the days this week but my father said the workload will not be tiring .

I’ll be at the Alpha Office in the Pack’s Central Building later on .

There’s a lot to sort

You killed .

through and to learn about the pack .

Then , I have some meetings with the Pack staff to go over roles and responsibilities .

Then check on systems , protocols to review and lastly , a meeting with 

the Pack Elders .

” 

“ That’s a lot ,” I chuckled , tapping on his shoulders comfortingly .

“ But I’m sure you’ll manage somehow .

You were born for this role .

“ Yeah ! ” he nodded reaching for my hands as he stared at me soulfully .

“ I didn’t think you would choose me yesterday .

Why did you do it ? ” 

I turned away from him , hoping to hide the pain in my eyes .

“ Because it was the right thing to do .

We cannot rule the pack based on sentiments .

I understand my mother’s desires but she’s never been involved in the pack like you have .

I’ll be doing my father a great disservice if I let her come in as a regent .

” 

He didn’t say anything , he just bent his head , pressing tiny kisses on my knuckles .

“ By the way ,” I asked tentatively , biting my lower lip .

“ Are you going to ask my mom and sister to move out of the Alpha building now that you’re Alpha ? ” 

His expression softened .

“ No ,” he replied shaking his head .

“ They’re welcome to stay there for as long as they want .

I’m happy to say here in the Beta Building and I know that place has too many memories , especially for them .

I won’t force them to leave .

” 

“ Nathan … ” 

“ Also , I don’t think I can ever part ways with this house either .

I have most of my best memories here .

I understand how it feels , Lyla besides it’s just a building .

Staying in the Alpha building and out of the building doesn’t make me less of an Alpha .

So… I’m good , really ” 

His words warmed my heart , I couldn’t help but smile .

The Packhouse ( meant mostly for Alphas ) had been home to me too , though it hadn’t felt like it in recent years .

For Nathan to allow my mother and sister to stay showed how much empathy he had .

“ So , yesterday , ” Nathan started saying when a knock sounded at the door .

Pulling away from him , I cleared my throat before calling out .

“ Come in , ” I called .

The door opened to reveal Beta Jeremy .

He was going to say something when he spotted Nathan and paused , his eyes moving between us with suspicion .

His eyes darted to the bed and then 

back to me .

Unable to stop myself , I felt heat rise to my cheeks , even though we hadn’t been doing anything wrong .

I still felt guilty .

Finally , he cleared his throat , turning his attention to Nathan .

“ You told me you were going for a run .

Why are you here ? ” 

“ I am , Nathan said “ I just took a little detour to check on her and know if she slept well .

I literally just came in a few seconds ago .

You’re being so suspicious , Dad .

” 

( 

87 You killed , Dad ….

“ No , I’m not ,” Beta Jeremy replied .

“ You better hurry up with that run … your day begins at 8 and Lyla … ” he turned to me .

“ Your sister Clarissa is here to see you .

She’s waiting downstairs .

” 

I tensed , glancing at Nathan , 

thing I expected to start save me an encouraging nod .

A visit from Clarissa was the last 

thing I expected to start my day with .

She had never been the warmest toward me and with all that had transpired , there was a strong chance our conversation wouldn’t be pleasant .

“ Thank you , Beta Jeremy .

I’ll go and see her now , ” I replied .

Jeremy nodded , giving his son another suspicious stare before he turned and left , leaving the door open .

As soon as he was gone , Nathan reached for my hand , giving it a reassuring squeeze .

“ Do you want me to come with you ? ” 

I looked up at him , grateful for his support as I slowly shook my head .

“ Thank you , Nathan .

She’s my sister and I think … I think I’ll be okay .

” 

A while later , descending the stairs , I found Clarissa waiting at the bottom of it for me .

Her expression was a mixture of impatience and something harder … almost bitter .

I took a deep breath before approaching her , reminding myself to stay calm and take whatever came without getting angry .

“ Hi , Rissa ,” I greeted forcing a smile .

She turned , folding her arms her gaze turning cold , assessing me .

“ Did you come from Nathan’s room ? You spent the night with him ? ” 

“ Yeah , I slept in his room but not with him .

He slept somewhere else , ” I replied wondering why she was concerned about that .

“ Are you staying here now ? ” 

I felt a prickle of discomfort at her probing but I pushed it aside .

“ Yes .

Nathan invited me to stay while things settle .

” 

Her mouth twisted into a bitter smile .

“ Settling ? Is that what we’re calling it ? Do you have any idea what you’ve done , Lyla ? ” 

I felt a pang of guilt at her words but decided not to defend myself too quickly .

“ Rissa , I know things are … complicated .

I’m not here to take anything from you or Mom .

Nathan is just trying to … ” 

“ Trying to what ? ” she interrupted , eyeing me with disdain .

To turn everything upside down ? To throw us out of our own lives ? ” 

“ No one’s throwing you out , ” I replied , keeping my tone cool .

“ Nathan isn’t going to move into the Alpha house as long as you and Mom are there .

He doesn’t want to uproot anyone .

” 

– 

difference ? We 

Clarissa scoffed , narrowing her gaze at me .

“ You think that’s going to make any already lost everything , Lyla .

You took the last thing I had the only stability left .

You killed Dad .

” 

I paused , shocked at her claims .

87 You killed , Dad … 

“ Wh – What do you mean I killed Dad ? How can you accuse me of such absurdity ? ”
