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 .
