The Alpha's Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger by Ejiofor Dorcas

120 All the Moonsingers…

Nathan

I’ve thought about a thousand ways to finally tell Lyla how I feel about it.

In one scenario there would be flowers, lots of flowers, in another, a single stem of flower between my lips, dressed up to the nines, with soft music playing in the background and a thousand more scenarios I’d looked up from the internet.

But to think I decided to skip confessing my feelings, skip dating and jump straight into asking her to marry me…in a dingy, motel room that doesn’t sound half as bad only that she stiffened in my embrace.

“Nathan…”

“I’m serious,” I said, hoping my voice was steady. “If you were my Luna, whoever did this wouldn’t have the guts to do it. No one would dare touch you. No one would have the power to hurt you like this again. I could protect you in every way possible.”

She stared at me, her eyes widening with surprise.

Ragnar was spurring me on and I knew it was now or never. I don’t know if I will ever have this kind of opportunity again, so I am putting all my eggs in one basket.

“Just listen to me,” I said quietly “And you don’t have to say anything right now,” I added gently, placing a hand on her cheek. “Just think about it. Please.”

She nodded slowly, turning her gaze from me. “Okay,” she whispered. “I’ll think about it.”

I smiled faintly, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “That’s all I ask.”

We sat in silence until my phone rang. It was Lenny.

I stepped away from Lyla, lifting the phone to my ear.
