The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

66 Alpha Heir …

Nathan

I stepped out of the dungeon , the light from the sun momentarily blinding my eyes for the first time in four years forcing me to stumble backwards against the stone wall .

My eyes were already used to years of dim lighting and shadows .

I squinted raising my hand to shield my face , blinking rapidly as my eyes watered from the brightness .

For several minutes , I stood there , letting my vision slowly adjust .

The winds tugged at my clothes as the world gradually came into focus .

I drank in the blue sky , the green grass and the tall trees – I’d forgotten what the world outside looked like , how beautiful it could be .

As my vision finally adapted , I noticed a familiar figure standing a few paces away , leaning against a sleek black car – my father .

Beta Jeremy Tanner stood rigid , his arms crossed over his chest , wearing the stern expression I remembered from my childhood whenever I’d done something particularly disappointing .

father wasn’t here to embrace me or welcome me home with open arms .

No ,

I realized that my he was angry .

Very angry .

I started slowly , towards him , hoping my attempt at a smile was working .

When I got close , he jerked his head toward the car , signalling me to get in .

Without argument , I made my way to the passenger side , my movements were still slightly wobbly .

The interior of the car smelled of leather and the familiar scent of my father’s cologne .

He didn’t say a word to me , he just started the car driving out of the vicinity of the dungeon and started for Blue Ridge Pack .

I stared out of the window , watching the trees without seeing them , a knot had formed in my stomach I was trying to think of something to say , anything to case the tension in the car but my mind was blank .

Finally , unable to take it anymore , I cleared my throat .

“ How have you been , Dad ? ” I asked tentatively watching his profile .

The years had greyed his temples and has carved deeper lines around his mouth .

But he didn’t answer me .

He didn’t even look at me , his eyes were fixed firmly on the road , his hands gripping the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white .

The silence became thicker causing my throat to tighten .

I hadn’t expected a warm reunion but this silent treatment from my father was worse than I could have imagined .

-We continued driving in silence .

I fidgeted in my seat , the anxiety inside me was growing .

building with every second that passed .

I could sense that my father was struggling to contain

his emotions .

Finally , he spoke , his voice was rough with emotion .

“ How could you do that to me , Nathan ? ” he didn’t take his eyes off the road but I could see the muscle working in his jaw .
