94 The visit …
Nathan
Once Cole left , I returned to the other documents spread on the round table .
Read thetest and free novels at .Com</a>
There were appeals , lots of them , mostly from the people in the lower viges ,ints and appointments that needed my approval .
A few minutester , I was struggling to understand what I was reading because my thoughts kept slipping to L .
Thest time I saw her , she was a girl … but by magic or whatever reason , L had blossomed into a beautiful woman with curves that could kill a man and it has killed me severally already .
Back in her house in the human world , I had caught a glimpse of the swell of her breast through the flimsy night dress she had on that day .
They were big , at least the size of a grape or bigger with fuller and rounder nipples that kept peeking out of the dress , enticing me .

Her hips which were round and firm , held a slightly enormous backside that moved whenever she walked and those legs … gosh … those legs – curvy and slender were the major highlights of all my imaginations .
I’ve imagined her wrapping them around me or spreading them wide open … the lower part of my body hardened at the thought making me sigh as I dropped the documents and ran my hands through my hair .
I didn’t know how much I could hold on again .
My thoughts were going rogue already .
“ When do you n to tell her how you feel ? ” Ragnar suddenly prodded into my thoughts .
it
I groaned , picking up the discarded documents in front of me .
” Soon , ” I muttered .
“ After her father’s burial .
She’s grieving , dumping my feelings on her would be unfair .
”
That’s a fresh excuse , Nathan … you’re getting better , ” Ragnar scoffed , his voice dripping with sarcasm .
“ It’s been four years already , just tell her already so I can move on with finding us another mate if she refuses .
I really need to be with a woman … I’m running out of patience .
I can’t believe we’re still virgins at this age .
“ He added with a hiss .
I lowered my head guilty .
“ Technically , we’re not , I grumbled .
“ Those failed attempts at pleasing yourself with your hand ? ” he huffed .
I want to see how it feels to be with a real person .
I never liked any of those things you do anyways .
”
“ Gosh , youin too much .
Are you getting old already ? ” I fired at him.
“ Fine , I’ll tell her … ”
There was a small pause from his end before his voice filtered into my mind again .
“ And then , What will you do if she agrees ? How do you n to convince her to stay ? ”
Before I could answer , a knock interrupted my thoughts and ended the conversation .
My father entered , a gentle smile on his face .
I grinned back at him .
“ Before you ask , she’s gone back to the pack house .
She’s supposed to select a suitable cloth for her father and I sent two warriors with her , in case her mother gets ideas but I doubt she

would .
”
My father said before taking a seat close to me .
Iughed .
“ Thank you for the heads – up .
And you’re right , I’ve been holed inside the meeting room all day .
Life as an Alpha is sure tough .
”
“ But you look surprisingly refreshed for someone who’s been in meetings all day .
I thought I’d catch you dozing or snapping off at someone ,” my dad said .
I chuckled .
“ I’m used to sitting in one ce for long .
Alpha Logan always had me attend all those boring meetings … ” I trailed off as I noticed my father’s expression .
His eyes dimmed and his shoulder slumped slightly as a sorrowful shadow crossed his face .
He looked away from me not before I heard his sharp inhale .
* Dad ? Are you alright ? ”
He shook his head , turning to
look at me now .
His eyes were filled with tears , his breath was shaky .
“ It’s so hard with Logan not here , ” he started , attempting a smile and failing woefully .
“ He was my best friend , Nath … we fought more than we got along but … he was my friend .
Our bond was more than just … ” he trailed off staring at hisp .
When he looked up again , I saw the pain in his eyes .
He was struggling not to cry .
“ You know , it’s my fault , ” he said quietly .
“ Logan’s death it’s on me .
I should have been there , protecting him like I’ve always done .
If I was there , he wouldn’t have ….
” He trailed off again .
Since Alpha Logan died, my father has not been able to bring himself to say the words .
‘ Die ‘ or “ Death ‘ It was as if he didn’t want to believe it .
“ I declined to travel with him .
I was angry that you were still locked up in the dungeon and he begged me to give him a little time .
He wanted to tell Elder Eldric – The Lycan Leader’s grandfather and see if he could use his influence to get you released ….
I never imagined that would be thest time I saw him .
Now Vanessa is a widow and his daughters are fatherless .
They probably hate me .
As she should , anyways … ”
“ Dad , no , ” I said gently .
“ It’s not your fault .
Alpha Logan’s death was a tragedy .
He was a good man and I’m sorry things turned out this way .
I’m sure Luna Vanessa and the
girls wille around , eventually .
You’ll see .
He nodded , though he didn’t look convinced .
He even attempted another smile .
–
Then he ced a file on my round table .
“ These are the candidates , I’ve selected and vetted four strong options to rece me .
They’re all Beta blood of course … two of them are your cousins from your mom’s side and they each have excellent skills inbat and administration .
” -I stared at the file , then – at – my father .
“ Dad , I don’t want anyone else as my Beta .
I want you ”
A sad smile crossed his face .
“ Do you know , in the old times , I would have been buried alongside Logan because of our Alpha – Beta bond ? Anyways , I can’t be your Beta , Ntah .
For one thing , I’m your father and I might not be as firm as you need me to be .
” He paused , his voice growing

develop another bond and I don’t want to serve anyone except , Logan .
”
Silence filled the meeting room , as I absorbed my father’s words .
After a while , I sighed .
“ So , what will you do ? ”
He shrugged .
“ I’ll do some travelling – maybe to the human world .
I hear they have a lot of beautiful sights .
And maybe … maybe I’ll even date again .
” He added with a wry smile .
“ Don’t be shocked if Ie back with a woman and a child .

I smirked .
“ Having a sibling has always been a dream for me .
Please … don’t let me stop you .
”
We shared augh , easing the tension and sadness in the room .
“ Still , ” I said when theughter died .
“ I still want you in my council .
As Grand advisor , just like Luna Vanessa .
He considered it for a moment .
“ I’ll think about it , Nathan , ” he replied with a smile .
Suddenly , the meeting room door burst open and my secretary hurried in after a man who was the person that opened the door .
He wore a face cap that covered his face .
My secretary had a mortified look on her face as she came forward , panting with fear .
* Alpha , I’m sorry ! I told him he needed an appointment , but he insisted
I held up my hand , dismissing her gently .
“ It’s alright .
You can go .
”
She nodded and hurried out of the office .
After she left , I turned my attention to the mysterious visitor who stood quietly in the room .
“ Identify yourself and state your business , I demanded .
The man stood silently for a long moment , then slowly removed his cap and dark sses .
My body tensed and I felt my blood run cold as Ramsey’s face came into view .
