The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 307 307: The War Council

I waited until I was certain Lyla's transport had moved away from the caves. Standing beside me, Caius and Lenny watched silently as the vehicle disappeared around the bend.

"She thinks she can go behind my back again and do stuff," I scoffed, shaking my head.

"You know she's only trying to help," Lenny said with a chuckle. "If I had a mate as steadfast as Lyla, perhaps I wouldn't have my children scattered all over the place. It's hard to cater for more than one woman at a time."

Caius turned to Lenny with an incredulous expression. "I still can't believe you have Baby Mamas. You don't strike me as the kind to..." he trailed off.

"Prostitute?" I finished for him. "The only reason his indiscretions go unnoticed is because he's a man. If he were a woman, he would be a known whore in the White Mountains. Lenny sleeps with anything that emits sexual energy."

Lenny didn't look offended. In fact, he wore a proud smile. "I have six children with four beautiful women. I hate the concept of remaining with one person all my life. Perhaps that's why the Moon Goddess didn't bother mating me."

Caius nodded thoughtfully. "I wish I had a mate too." He straightened his shoulders. "I should go after Lyla now."

I gripped his arm. "Keep her safe," I implored. "She's headstrong and will take unnecessary risks if she thinks it will help, and most importantly, do what I asked you to do."

"Don't worry," Caius assured me. "I won't let anything happen to her, and a few minutes ago, the Sigma fighters from White Moon arrived. They're resting inside the cave. I thought I should let you know."

"Thank you," I nodded.

Caius bowed one last time before diverting through a bushy path that would take him to Lyla in a few minutes.

I couldn't allow her to remain with me. As much as I didn't want to admit it, with Lyla here, I was distracted. Every second was spent worrying about her welfare, and if I must win Nathan, I must remove every emotional attachment that would stop me from doing what should be done.

Lenny and I turned back toward the caves. The moment we entered, I saw that my warriors had already prepared for the war council. They'd cleared a flat surface and laid out maps of the entire terrain. Two dozen of my most trusted fighters stood waiting, their faces grim but determined.

"Gather round," I ordered, approaching the table.

The maps showed White Mountain territory and all surrounding areas. I pointed to the southern border where Nathan's forces were currently camped.

"Nathan expects us to either surrender or make a desperate last stand at our walls," I began. "He doesn't expect us to attack him first."
