The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 412 - 412: Revelations...

I balanced a sleeping Emma on one hip and a stack of patrol reports on the other.

The hallways outside the nursery were filled with footsteps as pack staff went about their duties. I heard laughter from somewhere downstairs and more conversations. As always, the kids weren't bothered with things like this.

More than anything, they sleep better with all the noise.

I nudged the nursery door open with my knees. Inside, the light was soft and golden, with a wooden mobile spinning over the crib that held Baby Nathan.

I moved over to the other empty baby cot and laid baby Emma down. She stirred, her mouth puckering before she relaxed again and continued sleeping.

"Boots off for naps," I whispered, because rules mattered even when the boots were small. My mother wouldn't stop drumming it into my ears that the more I repeat these rules, the easier they'll grow up and get used to it.

She wore socks covered in stars. I smiled and tugged a blanket up, settling it around her shoulders. I stood there for a second longer than I needed to, memorising every part of Emma before I moved to Baby Nathan, who was sleeping soundly.

Every day, I try to ignore how much Baby Nathan is becoming his father. More than anything, I dread having the conversation where I'd have to explain to him who his father was and what had happened.

Although I know it would be difficult to eliminate the stigma of being Nathan's mate and Nathan's offspring for me and my son, I've made up my mind that I would never allow my son to go through half of what Lyla went through.

After making sure Baby Nathan was fine, too, I slipped out of the room. As soon as the door closed, my smile faded. It was time to work.

Downstairs, a courier waited at my office door with dust on his shoulders.
