Chapter 5


    Kylie POV


    For the whole day, I didn’t meet Alpha Logan because Graham ensured that. Shamelessly, he had


    called Zoe for lunch party and not me. It was evident that he and Zoe weren''t going to let me meet


    Alpha Logan. He didn''t even ask me to apany him in the evening ball that he was giving in


    honor of Alpha Logan in the main hall of the pack house. And so I decided to take things in my own


    hands because this was my only chance. I called Gamma Shir to expedite my n.


    I had had enough and so in the evening I got dressed to crash in the ball. Gamma Shir was there


    waiting for me in the main hall. With his dark hair swept back and ck suit, he looked handsome.


    But he had a nervous disposition, which I could understand because he was defying the Alpha’s


    orders by taking me to the ball and that could attract punishment.


    “You look beautiful, Luna Kylie,” he said with a smile as I curled my arm in his. I smoothed my dress


    and chuckled. “Thanks Shir.” It was time for a showdown.


    He added, “There’s good news for you. Alpha Graham has asked Beta Asher to take you to the


    ball.”


    My eyes widened in surprise for a moment, not because Graham had a change of heart, but


    because of the unexpected twist. I knew this was Graham’s game. Beta Asher never came to me or


    informed me he would take me to the ball. Basically, he would never take me to the ball and then


    Graham could always make an excuse to Alpha Logan that I was not willing.


    “I’d prefer to go with you because I don’t see Beta Asher at all,” I said with a shrug.


    Shir looked at me with eyes full of pity. He patted my hand, “Luna Kylie, don’t worry. I’m there.” I


    knew that he was very loyal to me and that he was taking a risk for my sake.


    As I walked with anticipation, towards the main hall of the pack house, I clutched my gown tightly,


    crumpling it.


    “Shir, here’s the thing,” I said when we were close to the entrance. “You already know that Alpha


    Graham doesn’t want to see me at the ball and if you apany me, it’ll be a disaster for you. So,


    I’ll walk in and you cer?”


    Shir seemed to rx immediately. “Sure, Luna.”


    I chose to wear a golden silk gown for the ball, its fabric shimmering in the light. I paired it with a


    yellow amethyst ne and matching earrings which was a gift from Graham on ourst


    anniversary. I had curled my hair and left them cascading down my back. The dress gave me the


    superior look I wanted, but deep down I was aware my status was that of the pitiful wife who was


    abandoned by her Alpha husband for his mistress.


    I smiled and walked into the main hall, with my chin up, mustering up every bit of courage. As I


    entered, an awkward silence fell in the hall. Everyone looked at me, including Graham, who was


    standing with Zoe. I suppressed a chuckle, seeing her wearing a gaudy hot pink gown, but I


    swallowed the insult down my throat when my eyes fell on her ruby ne Graham gifted me on


    our wedding day.


    As I walked in, an ominous feeling washed over me. Why was I feeling like someone was watching


    me?


    Graham was stunned to see me, but the look on Zoe’s face was precious. She looked like she had


    eaten vinegar. Graham stared at me, ignoring his mistress. I could see admiration and lust in his


    eyes. Zoe grabbed his hand when he started toe towards me. Well, good, because I ignored


    them both, highly aware of the murmurs that started about how Alpha Graham left his gorgeous


    Luna for his mistress.


    I let out a rough exhale and scanned the room for Alpha Logan. And there he was, at the end of the


    hall, staring at me. Wearing gray trousers with a navy buttoned up shirt and ck shoes, he looked


    easily the most handsome wolf. The circle of warriors around him looked imprable. He held a


    crystal of whiskey in his hand. I bowed to him lightly and approached him with a nervous smile. His


    warriors parted for me and I heard audible gasps from the guests, which meant that no one was


    allowed to go near him.


    “Alpha Logan,” I said politely. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Gosh, he was so tall at over six feet and


    I was so short at just five feet four that I had to crane my neck up to see him.


    The louche gave me a lopsided smile. “Believe me, pleasure is all mine, Luna Kylie.”


    I could feel Graham’s eyes boring in my back as jealousy coursed through our dying bond.


    “Did Katy mention about me?”


    “Yes, she did. And I’d like to hear about your problem,” he said.


    “Great!” My cheeks heated with excitement. "Is it possible to have a private conversation with you,


    please?”


    “Sure, there’s a room upstairs reserved for my warriors. We can go there.”


    I was sure that Graham was ring at me as I walked behind Alpha Logan and that he was going to


    detest this meeting. He would demand an exnation and I had already crafted one.


    Five minutester, I was sitting in front of Alpha Logan in a room. He was leaning at the edge of a


    table, swirling his whiskey, his eyes fixed on me.


    Instead of wasting time, I said gently, “I know you were looking for me for the Golden Gate project,


    but I’m going to get to that after I narrate my requirements.”


    He sipped his whiskey while keeping his eyes fixed on me. “I’m listening.”


    “Alpha Logan, you must have heard the rumors already,” I breathed. “I want to get out of my


    marriage, but I want my pack also when Ie out. Can you help me with my case at the Elder


    Council?” After that, I added a little more to my story, which was relevant to my case.


    He cocked his head to the side and smiled. "I can do that, little wolf," he said, "but what will I receive


    in exchange for my favors?”


    My mouth dropped. His yboy reputation screamed in my head. “I—I am sorry, Alpha Logan, but I


    don’t go around jumping in beds. If you like, I canpensate with money after I get my pack


    back.”


    He pushed from the table and walked to me. I got up and craned my neck up to meet his eyes. His


    scent of cedar and musk washed over me like a heady perfume.


    “No, Kylie,” he said in a deep, dark voice. “If I help you, you have to give something in return.


    And…” He lowered his mouth over my ear and whispered. “I want you.”


    Aghast, I jerked my head back. “Alpha Logan!” My hand instinctively shot to the mark on my


    shoulder that was fading these days.


    He stepped back, his intense gaze still on me.


    "I am going to help you get rid of your unfaithful husband and his mistress and also return your


    pack. I’m going to help you make them grovel, but—” His lips curled up. “You have to sign a contract


    with me to be my Luna for a year after that.” He walked to the table and picked up a set of


    documents. Handing them over to me, he asserted, “Read these and sign them by tomorrow


    morning.”


    I was bamboozled. He had the contract ready? “Tomorrow morning?”Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    “Yes, because I’m leaving tomorrow morning. With you.”
