79 Nathan will not be the Alpha …

Lyla

I made my way back to the car deciding if I should be happy or angry .

When I reached the car , Nathan was exactly where I’d left him , pacing , his face tight with

concern .

When I looked up and saw the concern in his eyes , I knew it was enough to soothe the storm

inside me .

“ Are you okay ? ” he was by my side in seconds , brushing a gentle hand over my shoulder .

“ Yes , ” I murmured forcing a smile , looking down .

I wasn’t going to let Lenny’s words stir up old memories or pain .

“ Just ghosts from my past trying to haunt me .

Nathan pulled me close , pressing a kiss to my temple .

“ Was Ramsey there ? I won’t let him hurt you anymore .

I leaned into his embrace , my hand tightening beside me .

“ No , he wasn’t .

Lenny had a message

from him .

“ A message ? ” Nathan pulled back staring at me curiously .

“ What kind of message ? ”

From the corner of my eyes , I saw Beta Jeremy emerge from the council hall , a frown on his face as he approached us .

“ All the Alphas are seated and waiting for both of you .

My heart lurched at the information .

Soon , I would have to face them , have to formally give up my claim to leadership of my father’s pack .

Perhaps my father would have made me his heir if I had been normal .

It should have been the most important thing on my mind , but all I could think about was the words Lenny had told me about Ramsey .
