The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 163 163 Marrying Clarissa.

Nathan Clarissa, I began firmly.

The kiss youre referring to was the Truth and Dare Festival, which was like years ago.

It was a game.

gave you a peck on the forehead, nothing more.

Lyla was there too.

toldyou But you liked me? She cried.

What? I laughed.

Yes, I like you.

We grew up together, its a normal expression isnt it.

Or would you rather I hate you? Her expression darkened.

You dont understand.

I refused my mate because of you.

My feelings for you are stronger than anything Ive ever felt.as My chest tightened.

I opened my mouth to respond, but Clarissa ccloser and reached forbefore I could.

I love you, she burst out.

Ive always loved you.

Ive waited for you all these years, Nathan ; I want to be with you.

Lyla doesnt deserve you; you should be withand not her.

Can you calm down for a second ? I stepped back, feeling suddenly hemmed in with her in my office . Just go to the couch, and we can resolve everything amicably without tension rising My father was right. How had I missed this? How could I not have seen the signs leading to this moment? As I tried to find the correct response, something kind but obvious, Clarissa a again covered the distance between us.

She reached foragain, standing on her toes, putting her hands around my neck, and tuggingtoward her.

Before I could react, she tried pressing her lips to mine.

I jerked back instantly, my hands coming up gently but firmly to push her away.

Please, I begged.

Stop this.

This isnt right.

She broke into tears as she clutched at my shirt.

Im the right one for you, Nathan, she insisted, her voice breaking.

What does Lyla have that I dont ? What do you see in her ? Ive been here all along, Nathan .

Im supporting you through everything ... we were good before Lyla showed up.

Why cant you see me? I am standing right here ... please look at... for once, please, she was crying profusely now.

I was at a loss, struggling to find the right words to lighten the situation without causing more harm. Also, if someone should walk into my office now, they might read a different meaning into the situation, especially since she was this close to me.

Clarissa, please ... I tried again.

I wanted to pry her hands away from my shirt, but I didnt want to hurt her.

Can you just letgo for a minute? Lets talk about it.

Before she could reply, there was a brief knock at the door.

Before it was pushed open, my father entered.

He stood at the doorway for a minute, taking in the scene.

I can cback later, he said, but I cut him short.

No, now is fine! I said quickly.

Clarissa was just leaving.

163 Marrying Clarissa She finally let go of my shirt, quickly wiping her tears.

I was just leaving Without waiting for my dads response, she hurried out of the room, leaving in her wake an uncomfortable silence.

My dad closed the door behind her and turned to me, an unreadable expression on his face .

Theres been a slight change to the logistics for the Harvest Moon and ... What you saw earlier is not what you think? I interrupted him.

She just cin here and started saying. ... Its fine, Nathan ! my father stoppedwith a deep sigh.

I want to say I warned you so badly, but what good will that do? I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling heavily She confessed her feelings for me.

I tried gently letting her down, but she wasnt hearing it.

He crosses his arms, an amused glint flashing in his eyes.

And what are you doing to do about it? Which of the sisters would you choose? Dad, this is not a joke ; Im being serious here.

Of course, I want Lyla ... Ive always did for the longest time.

You think I enjoy everything thats happening? Now, you cannot marry any of them, my father said slowly, the smirk on his lips deepening.

Theyre sisters, and you shouldnt cin between them.

Clarissa is just a teenager; Im sure shell have a change of mind in the near future.

Im positive about that.

This is just a phase and nothing more.

Phase, you say? my dad chuckled.

Okay, I wish you the best of luck then, I dont know the best way to approach this, I admitted .

Shes hurting, and I dont want to make it worse, but I cant encourage this .

I love Lyla ... shes the one I want, and I want her to be my mate My father nodded Since I last confessed my feelings about Lyla and told him about my plans to make her my mate and his vehement refusal, he hadnt said anything toagain.

Then make it clear when you stand.

Although, it wouldnt be a bad idea for both of you to end up together.

But since you prefer the other sister, its tricky, so you must be careful .

And youre th Alpha, sometimes that means making decisions that wont make everyone happy.

You cannot allow this to fester.

I sighed, my fathers words hitting home.

Youre right.

Ill talk to her again, but this time, Ill make sure theres no room for understanding Good, my father said, clappingon the shoulder.

Now, can we go back to reviewing this? he waved the documents her had in his hand.

A long while later, after we were done and my father left the room, I sat back down, trying to think of the easiest ways to deal with Clarissa.

I picked up my phone and dialled Lylas number, needing to hear her voice to remind myself of what truly mattered.

When she answered, her warmth washed overlike a lifeline.

Hey.

I said softly.

I just wanted to hear from you.

163 Marrying Clarissa.

She laughed.

Rough day? I contemplated telling her about Clarissa and the earlier , but I decided against it.

It might be difficult to explain such things over the phone.

You have no idea, I murmured, closing my eyes.

Later that evening, I stood in front of the Alpha building, contemplating if I was making the right decision.

I wanted to solve whatever misunderstanding Clarissa and I had before going to White Moon Pack for the Harvest Moon Festival.

I didnt want to go there with guilt or anything.

I wanted to be able to face Lyla without being on my toes, but standing here now, I felt that my carefully thought out rejection was a mistake.

I couldnt bring myself to go in because it felt wrong.

Taking a deep breath, I decided to leave.

Just as I turned to go, the front door opened, and Luna Vanessa loomed at the door.

I was beginning to wonder if youd ever cin .

Is something wrong, Alpha Nathan ? Do you need my help with anything? she asked.

I turned to her, my face creasing automatically with a smile.

Her stomach had grown more enormous than the last tI saw her.

That would explain why she insisted on not travelling for the Harvest Moon Festival.

None at all, I shook my head, trying to devise a suitable excuse.

I learnt you wont attend the Harvest Moon Festival, so I wanted to check on you.

I didnt want to intrude.

She laughed lightly.

Youre not, Alpha.

Thank you for checking in on me.

The baby would arrive anytsoon.

She said with a smile as she rubbed her engorged stomach.

Thats good then ! I nodded.

Ill just be on my way.

So soon? she exclaimed.

Why dont you cand share a cup of tea with me.

I wanted to refuse, but I decided to humour her a bit when I considered that she would be my future mother in law.

I accepted the invitation and entered.

She busied herself for a few minutes, preparing the tea she brought to the living room on a tray.

She handeda cup and sipped her first, sighing with relish before she looked up at me.

Hows life as an Alpha treating you? Youve managed to lead the pack well , and Im almost regretful that tried to stand in the way of you becoming Alpha; she laughed as if it was fu Its been a whole lot, but thankfully, I have a lot of supportive people behind my back Thats good to know! she nodded. Have you thought about who you want to be your Luna? I choked on my drink, spilling a small amount on my shirt.

Oh ! she hurried, peeling out swipes from the wipe container on the coffee table.

Are you alright? she asked.

Yeah, I nodded, cleaning the tea stains.

She nodded in response and repeated her first question.

Dont think I am nosy, she added, but 0 C 163 Marrying Clarissa She nodded in response and repeated her first question.

Dont think I am nosy, she added, but I was just thinking saltit may marry if youd like tam my daughter Clan'ssaltit may be a surprise, but its the only way to strengthen your reign as an Alpha .

Having a mate with Alpha blood will make your children hybrids a combination of both worlds, and I think it will be a perfect union. Comment
