150 Maybe its fate … Nathan We arrived at the pack house an hourter .
rissa had fallen asleep at some point , so I had to take her straight to the Alpha house .
As soon as I walked through the gates of the Alpha house , I saw Luna Vanessa pacing the front of the house while my father hovered nearby helplessly .
Alpha ! the guard on duty called out , announcing my presence as he bowed to me .
Oh ! Luna Vanessa took in shaky breaths , holding her chest .
She nearly fell if my father had not held her .
Is she dead ? Of course not ! I chuckled .
She twisted her ankle , but shes fine now .
She even slept off .
Will you show me her room so I can put her down ? Luna Vanessa nodded , gathering herself as she led the way to rissas room .
I adjusted the nket around rissas shoulders , positioning her injured leg between two pillows before I moved away from her .
Her breathing was steady now , the earlier pain on her face had now turned to fatigue .
I watched her a moment longer to make sure she was settled and wouldnt move her feet too much before quietly leaving her room .
As I came out , I saw her mother pacing outside her room , thumping at her chest , one hand rubbing tenaciously on her baby bump .
As soon as she saw me , she reached for my hands .
Thank you so much , Nathan .
I feared the worst .
She left the house before dawn saying she was going for a run , but when she wasnting back or taking my mind link , I feared the worse .
I covered her hands with mine , giving her a assuring smile .
One day , she would be my mother inw .
I have to treat her well .
Dont worry , Luna … shell be fine , okay ? Just have a healer look at the leg once shes woken .
I will , she nodded , shing me another smile filled with gratitude .
Since bing an Alpha , this was practically my first interaction with her .
Thank you again .
I nodded and watched as she entered her daughters room if only she treated L the same way as rissa … a lot of things might have been avoided .
As I stepped out of the Alpha house , I saw my father waiting for me at the bottom of the steps , arms crossed and a stern expression on his face .
Morning , Alpha , he said in a clipped tone .
What did I say about informing of your whereabouts before leaving the house ? Do you think youre invincible ? It was just going to be a quick run , and you were sleeping .
I didnt want to wake you .
Dont give me that bullshit , Alpha Nathan , he bristled .
It was always the way he insists on calling me by my title whenever he was angry at me that 23:32 0 1/3 < 150 Maybe its fate … Before youre the Alpha , youre first my son and I ought to know when youre about to do something stupid .
You clearly sealed that forest and asked no one to go there for a run because of Feral attacks and yet you break the order first .
Do you think being an Alpha means not doing things the right way ? All thanks to breaking that order .
I saved rissa .
Maybe its fate .
Fate , my ass ! he spat .
She must have seen you going there and followed suit … he lowered his voice , his eyes darting to the door .
You know how she has always been with you .
I told you severally that the girl … Dad ! I cut him short , raising my hand .
Thats enough .
She doesnt like me in the way you think .
Shes what … 19 , 20 ? We all grew up together as kids .
Its normal for her to see me as her big brother .
My father red at me , clucking his tongue as he shook his head .
If I hadnt been there when you were born , I would have thought you were switched at the hospital , or worse , that you fell on your head .
Shes been bringing you food every morning , hanging around the house every evening waiting for your return and you think shes doing this because she thinks youre her big brother ? I sighed .
Fine , how does that concern what happened this morning ? Im sure if I ignore her , shell stop eventually .
The point is , you must try to stop putting yourself in danger .
You dont know whos watching you .
Teenagers , whenever they have a crush , they lose their reason .
I will not be responsible for another misfortune .
So , no more runs in that forest ? Is that clear ? I rolled my eyes .
Yes , Alpha Jeremy .
Any other thing ? He smacked my head .
Im still your father .
Respect me ! Okay , Dad .
Sorry , Dad .
I said teasingly , moving away from his hand before he could hit me again .
We walked out of the Alpha house and started towards the pack office building .
First item on your schedule for today is the Beta selection interview/ meeting .
Youve postponed the Beta selection interview twice already , and the council expects your decision this week .
We need to get our reports in and do other important things .
I groaned .
Were still talking about this ? I thought we agreed that youd stay on as my Beta until the Feral situation is under control .
My father raised an eyebrow , shooting me a re .
That was the n , yes .
But Im tired , Nathan .
Tired of wearing two hats and unable to treat you like my son .
Being your Beta is constraining me from disciplining you .
Do you know how frustrating it was to juggle this role and deal with you vanishing for two days without notice ? The usation hung in the air , and I couldnt help but chuckle .
I scratched the back of my neck , guilt creeping in .
Are we still on to that ? I mumbled .
I told you after the meeting , I stayed an extra two days at White Moon Pack because of L .
Thanks to 23:32 2/3 < 150 Maybe its fate … me , she came out of thea .
We already talked about this .
He scoffed .
You do what you want because you think Ill always be here to clean up after you .
Well , let me tell you something , Nathan : my patience is running out .
The chances of me ending up in the dungeon for beating you The Alpha of Blue Ridge pack are higher than me being kil by a Feral .
