The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

82 So , I choose …

Lyla .

All the Alphas sat frozen in their chair as my mother paraded her baby bump now , caressing it gently as she fixed each of them a glare .

“ I found out that I was pregnant with a child six months ago .

I and Logan were of course excited because we’d been trying for all these years and were suddenly blessed .

He’s our gift and Logan’s true heir .

”

Alpha Calder rose to his feet , bowing slightly to my mother as he addressed the council .

“ Although this news is not new to me , Luna Vanessa as Alpha Logan told me some months back I want to offer my congratulations .

”

“ Thank you , Alpha Calder .

” My mother murmured as she turned to the rest of the Alphas , eyes

beaming with pride .

Quietly , each of them took turns to congratulate my mother before Alpha Calder continued speaking .

“ Again , Luna Vanessa , how can we be so sure that it’s a boy ? ”

“ Because the Pack Healers have confirmed .

I’m having a boy .

Logan has an heir now and all I have to do is to take reins of the affairs of the pack and when he comes of age , I hand everything over

to him .

”

The Alphas all shifted uncomfortably as they glanced at each other .

I sneaked a gaze at Nathan .

He looked relaxed , even his father too … they didn’t seem to be affected by the circus happening

in the hall at the moment .

Lenny too , whose presence you could almost miss wasn’t saying anything .

Like Nathan , he just sat there observing .

“ Mother ! ” I ventured .

“ I know you have the interest of the pack to heart but we must obey the instructions left by father .

If he wanted the newborn baby to succeed him , he would have

mentioned it .

I know father and I know how meticulous he is and … ”

My mother’s face had turned ashen .

She stared at me as if she had just seen a ghost , that was when I understood the gravity of what I was saying .

It felt like I was already taking sides with Nathan .

I was giving the council more leverage for a refusal .
