The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger
Chapter 92

92 What women want ….

Ramsey 

He laughed heartily , tapping my back .

“ Don’t worry , Ramsey , I’m not going anywhere … at least not yet .

Besides , it’ll take more than a little coma to get rid of me .

How have you been ? ” He leaned back and looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes .

“ But tell me , what did I miss while I was lying dead here ? Or have you managed to ruin the whole .

pack in my absence ? ” 

I chuckled .

“ It wasn’t the same without you but I’m glad you’re back … you can appraise it by yourself .

” 

Just then , his expression turned sombre .

He glanced around the room , catching each Elder’s eyes before settling his gaze back on me .

With a deep sigh , he finally spoke , with sadness in his 

voice .

“ I heard that Alpha Logan didn’t make it … ” 

The room fell silent as some of the Elders present lowered their gaze , their faces reflecting sorrow .

My mind flitted back to Lyla and I wondered if she blamed me for her dad’s death .

“ Yes ,” I finally said .

“ Alpha Logan was a fine Alpha and we will all miss him .

His loss will be felt across the South .

” 

My grandfather nodded slowly .

“ I’m alive today because of his bravery , you know … I thought those Ferals got me for good because one minute , one of them was jumping at me and in a blurry , Logan turned into my saviour .

I owe him my life .

So , it’s only right that we honour him in his passing ” 

“ Honor him ? ” Elder Thorne arched his brow .

“ Surely , it’s not what I’m thinking .

” 

“ Yes ! ” my grandfather nodded .

“ We must all attend his funeral .

His pack is a few hours away from White Mountains and it’s a way to console the family and maybe give them closure .

” 

“ I’m afraid , but that cannot be done .

A Lycan attending the funeral of a Werewolf … travelling down to their pack … it’s never done ! 

“ It’s not up for debate , Elder Thorne , My grandfather said firmly , fixing him a cold stare .

When good is done , we should reward it with good .

If we can accept the norms and ways of humans , then why shouldn’t we bend the rules now and again ? ” Then he turned to me .

“ Do you know when the funeral is scheduled ? ” 

“ No ,” I replied .

“ But I can replace out 

“ Eldric ,” Mira started quietly , “ I know you want to repay good but you just woke up , you need to rest before any other thing .

Perhaps we should send delegates , I’m sure it’ll be more appreciated .

” 

“ I can’t believe you’d say that , Mira ,” my grandfather shook his head in disappointment .

“ He was

a father , a husband and an Alpha … he died , protecting me .

I’m sure the chances of him living would have improved greatly had he not stuck out his neck for me .

If that is not enough reason 

to go … then what else ? ” 

“ It is the duty of the people to protect you … Eldric , ” Mira continued stubbornly .

“ And yet they all ran away .

The people who were trained to protect me died within a few minutes of the Feral attack .

You all have no idea what it means to come face to face with a Feral Wolf .

They’re not rogues , they’re stronger , faster and deadlier and somehow with the warriors dead , the elders dead and a score of other Alphas gone , Logan stayed back and fought with me .

He’s not a mere servant … he’s the Alpha Leader of the Werewolf Southern Pack … if we do not show honour at his burial … those werewolves will revolt .

Logan was that important … ” My grandfather said , his features contorted with annoyance .

Taking a deep breath , he continued .

“ This is non – negotiable .

We will go there and pay our respects properly .

Ramsey , send a letter to Blue Ridge , informing them of our desire to attend the funeral and also replace out if they need our help with anything .

” 

“ I will , Grandpa .

” 

I turned to leave when my grandfather’s voice stopped me again .

He motioned for me to wait and turned to the other people in the room .

“ May I have a word with my grandson ? ” 

They nodded and soon left the room .

When we were alone , my grandfather motioned for me to come sit on the space on the bed with him .

“ Just before you came , Thorne was telling me that they’ve appointed a new Alpha for Blue Ridge Pack .

The Beta’s son- Nathan Tanner ?” 

I nodded , wondering what direction the conversation was going .

“ At the burial , you must seek to make friendship with him .

He’s young and would be valuable .

We need those werewolves , Ramsey .

Especially the Werewolves of the South .

Logan was such an organized man and brought a lot of prosperity during his reign , they all listened to him and I’m sure this new Alpha might have the same influence as him … ” 

“ I don’t see why you’re telling me all of this , Grandpa … ” I narrowed my eyes .

“ Did something happen ? ” 

“ The only reason we’ve peacefully co – existed with Werewolves all these years is because we try to treat them as equal , even though they’re not .

Renewing our trade and import alliance with the South would be due at the beginning of next year and we only have a few months left .

With Logan gone … 

“ Are you insinuating that they might try to revolt against us ? ” I scoffed .

“ Is that even possible ? We’re Lycans , grandpa … not some , weak … ” 

“ And they have lots of advantages .

These regions align together faster than a Lycan would .

They have one mind … one goal and if anything , go wrong ….

He trailed off holding my gaze .

“ I am not

about to probe into why you held the Alpha heir who is now the Alpha of Blue Ridge pack but whatever it is , you’ll make amends for it .

Apologize if you must … anything … ” 

I froze , staring at my grandfather , deciding if he was joking or not .

He just woke up today … how did he know all of this ? 

“ The beef I have with Nathan Tanner will not affect anything .

It’s between us .

You don’t have to worry about anything ” 

“ Still , I want you to apologize to him .

You locked him up , unjustly for four years .

He would hold resentments towards you .

Look for anything and force him to sign a treaty with that , legally binding it .

You may think I am overreacting but I’ve been here longer and I know that the first

“ Nathan is not like that , Grandpa but I’ll fix it ” I gave him a reassuring smile .

He nodded but didn’t look convinced .

“ And you’re set to marry the Thorne girl ? I heard from her father that you already have dates picked up and … ” 

“ Grandpa , can you just take a deep breath and rest ? The pack didn’t crumble in your absence .

I tried my best to give it all .

You think I don’t know what’s best for all of us ? ” 

“ That’s not what I mean , Ramsey , the Elders had a lot to complain about .

You turned down a lot of appeals and practically refused to approve funding for a lot of things .

I know you’ve had it rough emotionally since the accident but you need these people more .

Each of them that had been in this room is powerful , you might think they’re just Elders but they can strip you of your 

title in a few minutes .

” 

“ So , I should entertain their frivolities and let them do what they want ? ” 

“ No … you put them down gently .

If they need something , you should never say no and if it’s not worth saying yes to them … then , you look for an alternative , something to trick them into thinking that you care about what they want .

Because they’re all entitled … ” 

“ Fine … ” I said flatly .

“ I’ve heard you .

Any other thing ? ” 

He wanted to say something but at the last minute , he changed his mind , smiling at me .

“ Nothing else .

Every other thing can wait .
