The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

87 You killed , Dad …

Lyla

I stretched lazily like a cat , yawning as I pulled myself into a sitting position .

This was probably one of the best sleeps I’ve had in years .

Last night after the meeting , I wanted to go home – back to the Packhouse , but Nathan had insisted I sleep over at theirs .

He was worried that my mother might get provoked if she saw me there in the morning .

Beta Jeremy barely said a word to us when I followed them into the Beta house .

After we had freshened up and I and Nathan were getting ready for bed , he came into the room and asked Nathan to come and share his bed with him .

Despite all of Nathan’s pleas that he was going to take the couch in his room , his father had refused .

Pulling back the covers , I slipped out of bed and padded to the window , pulling the curtain aside to take in the view .

The sun had just begun to rise , illuminating the green stretches of land that was Blue Ridge Pack .

The morning dew sparkled on the grass like scattered diamonds while a whisp of mist rolled out from the mountains in the distance .

The sight was so beautiful that I just stood there staring at

it … not thinking … just staring .

I was

so lost in it that I didn’t hear Nathan approach until I heard his voice .

“ Enjoying the view ? ”

I jumped slightly , turning to see him leaning against the doorframe , a soft smile on his face .

“ What are you looking at ? ” he asked again , stepping inside , as his gaze shifted from me to the beautiful landscape beyond the window .

A smile tugged at my lips as I pointed toward the scenery .

“ I didn’t know it was this beautiful ,” I admitted softly .

“ I mean , I’ve lived here for most of my life but somehow … ” I trailed off , unable to

describe how different everything looked now , as if my four years away had given me new eyes to see the beauty , I’d taken for granted before .

Nathan nodded and came to stand beside me , close enough that our hands brushed against each other .

I remembered what his father had told me last night and I wondered if it was true .

If Nathan felt something more than friendship for me .

“ You should see it in spring ” he sighed softly , with a wistful smile on his face .

“ It’s much more beautiful .

And I think it has its own quiet strength .

The kind you don’t always notice but can always feel .

I guess it’s easy to overlook … until you need it .

Turning me away from the scenery , I faced him .

“ So , what’s your schedule like today ? Your first day as an Alpha .

”

He sighed , “ I’ll be busy for most of the days this week but my father said the workload will not be tiring .

I’ll be at the Alpha Office in the Pack’s Central Building later on .

There’s a lot to sort
