Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 16

*****Erika's POV*****

"I need you to cheer up and come celebrate your single hood, and the strength for overcoming it all. Also, for your soon to be position as the Alpha of Iron Claw

pack." He said, patting my back encouragingly.

"Yes, father. I'll be out soon. I just need to remain alone for a while."

He sighed, looking at my face. "You sure you'll be fine?"

"I'll be fine, father."

"Why can't you just be fine now?" He raised a disproving brow at me.

"Father, bad things just happened to me. I need time to get them off my mind so I can concentrate on ruling as Alpha when it's time. Better to be distracted now by memories than to be distracted later on as an Alpha." I tried to reason with him.

He nodded softly, "I understand. Anyone in your shoes would need time to piece themselves back together." He said, showing his unwavering support, and that melted my heart.

I moved closer to wrap my hands around him. "Thank you father, you're the best"

"Anytime, my little Alpha." He kissed my brows and stood up to leave. "I should get going"

"Any thing important for the day?" I took in his height.

My father was a really tall Alpha. His presence was imposing and he commanded attention wherever he went.

I was proud of him and how far he was taking this pack.

I hoped when it's my turn, I'd be able to do better.

"Yes, I have two very important meetings. One with the Elders of the pack and second one, I'll be hosting some neighboring Alphas"

Immediately concerned, I faced him. "Any war from enemy packs?"

"No, not at all. They are the Eastern Alphas, we just want to think of the region and how to increase security and just general welfare discussion about the East region" He explained.

"Are you sure?" I asked with a narrowed gaze.

"Yes, don't worry. I'll be fine." He patted my head and proceeded to the door. "I'll
