94 The visit … 

Nathan 

Once Cole left , I returned to the other documents spread on the round table .

Read the latest and free novels at Narugi.Com

There were appeals , lots of them , mostly from the people in the lower villages , complaints and appointments that needed my approval .

A few minutes later , I was struggling to understand what I was reading because my thoughts kept slipping to Lyla .

The last time I saw her , she was a girl … but by magic or whatever reason , Lyla had blossomed into a beautiful woman with curves that could kill a man and it has killed me severally already .

Back in her house in the human world , I had caught a glimpse of the swell of her breast through the flimsy night dress she had on that day .

They were big , at least the size of a grape or bigger with fuller and rounder nipples that kept peeking out of the dress , enticing me .

of 

Her hips which were round and firm , held a slightly enormous backside that moved whenever she walked and those legs … gosh … those legs – curvy and slender were the major highlights of all my imaginations .

I’ve imagined her wrapping them around me or spreading them wide open … the lower part of my body hardened at the thought making me sigh as I dropped the documents and ran my hands through my hair .

I didn’t know how much I could hold on again .

My thoughts were going rogue already .

“ When do you plan to tell her how you feel ? ” Ragnar suddenly prodded into my thoughts .

it 

I groaned , picking up the discarded documents in front of me .

” Soon , ” I muttered .

“ After her father’s burial .

She’s grieving , dumping my feelings on her would be unfair .

” 

That’s a fresh excuse , Nathan … you’re getting better , ” Ragnar scoffed , his voice dripping with sarcasm .

“ It’s been four years already , just tell her already so I can move on with replaceing us another mate if she refuses .

I really need to be with a woman … I’m running out of patience .

I can’t believe we’re still virgins at this age .

“ He added with a hiss .

I lowered my head guilty .

“ Technically , we’re not , I grumbled .

“ Those failed attempts at pleasing yourself with your hand ? ” he huffed .

I want to see how it feels to be with a real person .

I never liked any of those things you do anyways .

” 

“ Gosh , you complain too much .

Are you getting old already ? ” I fired at him.

“ Fine , I’ll tell her … ” 

There was a small pause from his end before his voice filtered into my mind again .

“ And then , What will you do if she agrees ? How do you plan to convince her to stay ? ” 

Before I could answer , a knock interrupted my thoughts and ended the conversation .

My father entered , a gentle smile on his face .

I grinned back at him .

“ Before you ask , she’s gone back to the pack house .

She’s supposed to select a suitable cloth for her father and I sent two warriors with her , in case her mother gets ideas but I doubt she

would .

” 

My father said before taking a seat close to me .

I laughed .

“ Thank you for the heads – up .

And you’re right , I’ve been holed inside the meeting room all day .

Life as an Alpha is sure tough .

” 

“ But you look surprisingly refreshed for someone who’s been in meetings all day .

I thought I’d catch you dozing or snapping off at someone ,” my dad said .

I chuckled .

“ I’m used to sitting in one place for long .

Alpha Logan always had me attend all those boring meetings … ” I trailed off as I noticed my father’s expression .

His eyes dimmed and his shoulder slumped slightly as a sorrowful shadow crossed his face .

He looked away from me not before I heard his sharp inhale .

* Dad ? Are you alright ? ” 

He shook his head , turning to 

look at me now .

His eyes were filled with tears , his breath was shaky .

“ It’s so hard with Logan not here , ” he started , attempting a smile and failing woefully .

“ He was my best friend , Nath … we fought more than we got along but … he was my friend .

Our bond was more than just … ” he trailed off staring at his lap .

When he looked up again , I saw the pain in his eyes .

He was struggling not to cry .

“ You know , it’s my fault , ” he said quietly .

“ Logan’s death it’s on me .

I should have been there , protecting him like I’ve always done .

If I was there , he wouldn’t have ….

” He trailed off again .

Since Alpha Logan died, my father has not been able to bring himself to say the words .

‘ Die ‘ or “ Death ‘ It was as if he didn’t want to believe it .

“ I declined to travel with him .

I was angry that you were still locked up in the dungeon and he begged me to give him a little time .

He wanted to tell Elder Eldric – The Lycan Leader’s grandfather and see if he could use his influence to get you released ….

I never imagined that would be the last time I saw him .

Now Vanessa is a widow and his daughters are fatherless .

They probably hate me .

As she should , anyways … ” 

“ Dad , no , ” I said gently .

“ It’s not your fault .

Alpha Logan’s death was a tragedy .

He was a good man and I’m sorry things turned out this way .

I’m sure Luna Vanessa and the 

girls will come around , eventually .

You’ll see .

He nodded , though he didn’t look convinced .

He even attempted another smile .

– 

Then he placed a file on my round table .

“ These are the candidates , I’ve selected and vetted four strong options to replace me .

They’re all Beta blood of course … two of them are your cousins from your mom’s side and they each have excellent skills in combat and administration .

” -I stared at the file , then – at – my father .

“ Dad , I don’t want anyone else as my Beta .

I want you ” 

A sad smile crossed his face .

“ Do you know , in the old times , I would have been buried alongside Logan because of our Alpha – Beta bond ? Anyways , I can’t be your Beta , Ntah .

For one thing , I’m your father and I might not be as firm as you need me to be .

” He paused , his voice growing 

I’m handed to

develop another bond and I don’t want to serve anyone except , Logan .

” 

Silence filled the meeting room , as I absorbed my father’s words .

After a while , I sighed .

“ So , what will you do ? ” 

He shrugged .

“ I’ll do some travelling – maybe to the human world .

I hear they have a lot of beautiful sights .

And maybe … maybe I’ll even date again .

” He added with a wry smile .

“ Don’t be shocked if I come back with a woman and a child .

I smirked .

“ Having a sibling has always been a dream for me .

Please … don’t let me stop you .

” 

We shared a laugh , easing the tension and sadness in the room .

“ Still , ” I said when the laughter died .

“ I still want you in my council .

As Grand advisor , just like Luna Vanessa .

He considered it for a moment .

“ I’ll think about it , Nathan , ” he replied with a smile .

Suddenly , the meeting room door burst open and my secretary hurried in after a man who was the person that opened the door .

He wore a face cap that covered his face .

My secretary had a mortified look on her face as she came forward , panting with fear .

* Alpha , I’m sorry ! I told him he needed an appointment , but he insisted 

I held up my hand , dismissing her gently .

“ It’s alright .

You can go .

” 

She nodded and hurried out of the office .

After she left , I turned my attention to the mysterious visitor who stood quietly in the room .

“ Identify yourself and state your business , I demanded .

The man stood silently for a long moment , then slowly removed his cap and dark glasses .

My body tensed and I felt my blood run cold as Ramsey’s face came into view .
