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

164 Voice in my head…

Nathan

I stormed out of the living room towards the entrance of the Alpha building and I shoved the door open, barely restraining myself from slamming the door. Anger–pure rage coursed through my veins like molten, making my hands shake at my sides and my jaw tighten.

“The audacity.” I growled under my breath. Luna Vanessa’s presumptuous suggestion that I marry Clarissa still rang in my cars. Even though it was being reechoed in my mind, each word sounded

like an insult.

“How dare she? How dare Luna Vanessa suggest I marry Clarissa? Reminding me of my status as a Beta Wolf like I’m some common Omega she can command at will!”

Ragnar rumbled in disagreement. “Luna Vanessa didn’t mean it that way. I’m sure she only wants you to marry Clarisis to strengthen your title and the pack. Having an Alpha wife has a lot of advantages and it would mean that your children…”

“Can you stop the nonsense you’re going on about? What about Lyla? She’s agreed to marry us, Ragnar. Did you forget? She’s also the daughter of the Alpha… what are worrying about now?”

“Is she really?” Ragnar sighed. “I just feel strange these days, Nathan. I feel that Lyla may not be the one for us, and maybe we’re forcing things. I wish you’d just sit back and think things through. That would do so much for us than blindly accepting everything, don’t you think? I know she confessed she wants to marry us, but… it feels like she’s doing it out of compulsion.”

“Shut up, Ragnar!” I bristled, feeling my anger heightening. “And no talks about that. I’ve everything for this pack. My loyalty, my strength, my life–everything! And now, you all want to deny me of the one thing I want the most and barter me off like a prize?” I raked my hand through my hair, tugging at my strands. “Does anyone care to consider my feelings? I love Lyla… so fucking much, and I want to be with her.”

“No one is disputing that, Nathan,” Ragnar sighed. “A few years ago, I could see the passion, the intensity of the love you had for Lyla, but… maybe things have changed.”

A slight pause…..

“What if you no longer love her like before and you’re doing this to teach Ramsey a lesson or maybe it’s something else… infatuation or a feeling of indebtedness because of how she helped you through your mother’s death? Maybe if you look closely enough, you’d discover that… you don’t really love Lyla like you think, and you’re doing this because you feel responsible for her.”

thundered. “Shut up this moment, Ragnar! How dare you question my
