The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

73 A non – present father …

Lyla

In no time , we were tucked in bed .

I held onto him , rubbing his back slowly , hoping he would go back to sleep but the awkwardness had returned .

He was bigger than me and by right , he was supposed to be the one , holding me .

“ The nightmares started in the third year ! ” he said , suddenly breaking the silence .

“ He was getting tired of coming every day and torturing me with all sorts of things and then getting disappointed that I wouldn’t talk ”

He paused and sighed before continuing .

“ He decided to mess with my head .

Wanted to hypnotize me into confessing the address but my will was too strong to break .

I didn’t tell him anything .

”

We fell silent again , with only the sound of our breathing filling the room .

I wanted to ask a lot of questions .

I wanted to know why Ramsey had been looking for me … did he care ? Was it his obsession to turn me into his mistress and sex toy ?

“ But I’ll be fine ! ” Nathan said again .

“ The Pack doctors said it’s the side effect from the hypnotizing drug and I just need to rest plenty .

”

“ I’m glad ! ” I said quietly and the silence returned .

After a while again , Nathan pulled himself from my hand , giving me a teasing look .

“ Aren’t you tired of holding me ? ”

I shook my head , managing a small smile .

“ But let’s switch places .

I will go back to holding you

after a few minutes .

”

He nodded and we switched places .

My head was on his chest , I could hear the erratic beating of his heart .

I could tell he wanted to tell me something but I didn’t know why he was hesitating .

After a while , he nudged me quietly .

“ Are you sleeping ? ” he asked .

“ No ! ” I replied with a deep sigh .

“ You ? ”

“ I can’t sleep ! ” he said .
