The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

185 Wedding revelations … Nathan I stood before the full length mirror in my room adjusting the embroidery on my ceremonial joining outfit .

The deep crimson and gold of the fabric the pack colours shimmered under the soft light 1 couldnt believe I was the groom and the soon to be mated Alpha , My hands trembled slightly as I adjusted the cuffs and worked on the fastenings .

It still felt so surreal that I would be marrying Lyla today .

However , the excitement I had still warred with a speck of doubt .

Everything was going way smoother than I had anticipated .

Luna Vanessa had approved using the best halls in the pack since she was in charge of Welfare .

Not just that , she had quickly and efficiently organized the hall , the decoration , the food … all in less than 48 hours .

Her role had fastened the preparation and made everything easy for us .

She had gone a step further to send out invitations to various packs and told them that since we were all trying to recover from the Feral attack , they should only send their gifts and blessings and not bother coming .

Despite this , my father has been silent since we returned from the Harvest Moon .

He was one of the few people who hadnt bothered to congratulate me after Lyla accepted to marry me .

Instead , the moment wed arrived , he handed in his resignation as the packs acting Beta without any tangible reason .

Not only that , he had gone out of his way to avoid any interaction with me despite living under the same roof .

The rift between us was widening every day , so much that I didnt know how to mend it .

Suddenly , the door to my room creaked open , startling me .

I turned , expecting one of the Betas under probation who was assisting me for the time being , but I froze when I saw my father .

Dad ? I murmured under my breath .

He was dressed in a formal attire .

His blue eyes which mirrored mine were hard and unreadable as he stepped into the room , closing the door softly behind him .

It had been so long since I had seen him in anything other than casual clothes that it took a moment to process .

Do you need any help ? Are you ready ? He asked .

Yes , I replied , even though a dozen questions burned on the tip of my tongue .

I voiced them in my heart instead .

Why are you here ? Are you going to support me , or is this another lecture ? But before I could speak them out , he spoke again .

Ill be officiating the ceremony , thats why Im here ; he said flatly .

I wanted to badly ask why because my father who had been conspicuously absent from every 185 Wedding revelations preparation had suddenly decided to take the central role in the wedding .

I opened my mouth , then closed it , unsure of how to respond .

I see .

I said finally , nodding stiffly .

We were quiet for a moment before he turned toward the door .

Ill ask them to bring the car to the front of the house .

A moment later , we arrived at the wedding venue .

It was the largest hall in the pack and was located at a very easy location .

The hall was only used for big occasions like weddings between important pack members or annual inter pack meetings .

Else that , it was rarely used but was maintained regularly .

As I alighted from the car , I spotted a lot of pack members dressed beautifully with smiles on their faces .

When they saw me , they all bowed in my direction and I acknowledged their greetings immediately .

Even though I wasnt as amazing as Alpha Logan who had been one of the best Alphas the pack .

has ever produced , I was grateful that the people loved me and were beginning to get used to my leadership .

Immediately I went around , greeting the Core Alphas of the Southern Region .

They were gathered together as always talking and laughing amongst themselves .

As I walked over to them , they clasped my hands , accepting my greeting with smiles .

Best wishes , Nathan , Alpha Calder said clasping my hand firmly .

May your union bring strength to your pack , Alpha Renwick added .

Are you looking forward to your wedding night ? Alpha Grant teased , getting a red face from me .

Oh ! he laughed heartily turning to the other Alphas .

Its true then .

True ? I tried to fight the redness in my ears .

What is true ? Alpha Renwick speculated that youre still a virgin and we doubted it because all the women love you .

But youve confirmed it .

Thats not true , I narrowed my gaze at them .

Ive been with many women , My statement drew another amusing snicker from the Alphas as Alpha Renwick snapped his hand at them .

You all owe me a thousand each .

Transfer only he added .

I moved away from them going to greet some of the Elders of the pack .

By the time it was time for the ceremony to begin , the knot of nervousness that had lodged in my chest since last night , loosened .

I gasped in shock when I entered the hall .

The setting was breathtaking : rows of white chairs draped in soft silks of red golden- the pack colours glowed under lit lanterns hanging overhead each table .

The screen covering the roof allowed the mid morning sun to filter into the hall , filling the hall with light .

The makeshift altar was decorated with cascading flowers .

Everywhere was so 185 Wedding revelations beautiful .

I was glad .

Finally , I took my position at the altar , the Moon Priest who would be joining us officially stood to one side and my father stood to the other side holding the microphone .

My father nodded to the band at one corner and they slowly started playing the marching in tune .

Before my father turned to the audience .

Please rise , the bride is here .

All eyes turned toward the entrance as everyone rose in unison .

My breath caught in my throat as Lyla came into my line of view .

She was dressed in the vintage wedding gown Luna Vanessa had used during her time .

It was a simple , gold colour gown yet elegant and it hugged her frame as if it was made with her in mind .

The flowing fabric caught the light with every step she took .

Her hair was styled to perfection with a faint glimmer of gold added to it .

But nothing could compare to her expression .

Lyla was so beautiful that tears pricked at the corner of my eyes but that was what surprised me .

She was on her mothers arm Luna Vanessas arms .

Despite the smiles both women had on their faces , they didnt bother to hide their strained history or rather , Luna Vanessa didnt bother to hide it .

My eyes scanned the crowd for signs of Nanny , hoping she would be there , but she was nowhere to be found .

I wondered what Lyla would do when she discovered she wasnt here .

Especially after promising she would come .

She was supposed to come earlier though but she had called me a yesterday to tell me she would come today .

I searched the room again , scanning each face … Instead , I saw unexpected guests , Luna Vanessas brothers the Alpha of Shadow Moon Pack .

An influential and powerful Alpha from the West and The Alpha of the Western Hill Pack .

The presence of such powerful figures set alarm bells ringing in my mind but I pushed the thoughts aside , maybe I was overthinking .

I focused solely on Lyla who was at the altar now .

I smiled at her and reached out to take her from her mother , instead , of releasing her , Luna Vanessa tightened her grip and turned both of them to face the crowd .

I didnt miss the satisfied smile on her face .

* Honored guests , Alphas of the South and visitors from every part of the world .

My name is Luna Vanessa Skye Woodland , the widow of Alpha Logan Woodland and I regret but I cannot approve this union ! A stunned silence fell over the hall .

My stomach dropped , I knew it .

I had a feeling some sort of drama would happen .

185 Wedding revelations .

initial shock to register , she continued .

According to our laws , the firstborn daughter of an Alpha who has no male heir is to be married to an Alpha Regent , ensuring the stability and strength of the lineage .

This is our tradition , our law .

The silence grew heavier .

My hands clenched at my sides , as my jaw tightened .

I glanced at Lyla , who looked stricken , her lips were parted as though she wanted to protest .

Then Luna Vanessa turned to Lyla , her lips were curled , into a faint , triumphant smile .

Lyla is Alpha Logans bastard .

And unless weve decided to allow bastard children to ascend as Lunas , I cannot and will not approve of this union .

I call on the powers of the seven core Alphas of the South and the representative of the West to bear me witness and not permit this marriage to proceed .
