The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

151 You will not marry , Lyla .

Nathan D I chuckled , unable to suppress my amusement .

Dad , youre so dramatic .

I didnt know you had this side to you .

Laugh all you want , he shot back , though his lips twitched for a second .

But you need to choose a Beta .

So that by the time you return from one of your escapades and you see your pack in shambles , itll teach you a lesson .

Fine , fine , I nodded .

But you know its up to Ragnar , I said , referencing my wolf .

So far , he doesnt agree with all the candidates weve had .

Its not my fault .

My father muttered something under his breath but let the matter drop since we were already in front of the pack office building .

When we got to my office , my father wasted no time in handing me a stack of files that required urgent attention .

For the next few hours , I worked through the documents , signing and approving where necessary .

While he stood nearby , occasionally explaining key points .

The complexity of the paperwork was a stark contrast to the adrenaline filled moments I usually preferred , but I knew this was part of my role as Alpha .

When I was done , my father gathered the signed files for documentation and was almost leaving the office when he paused at the door .

Oh, I almost forgot , he said , turning back .

Miriam called earlier .

Miriam ? I arched a brow without lifting my head .

Lylas Nanny .

My head shot up as I rose from my seat , anxiety filling me up .

What ? Why didnt you tell me sooner ? Is Lyla , okay ? I forgot , Im sorry , he said .

But relax .

Miriam said shes fine .

She has a slight fever yesterday , but shes recovering now .

They took away her phone and other distractions to ensure she rested properly .

Miriam said Lyla will call you as soon as shes strong enough .

The quick relief I had felt from being reached out to moments ago gave way to frustration .
