Chapter 78


    Graham POV


    With Zoe back in my arms, I breathed relief. Though it felt he“, Kylie’s absence was gnawing at my


    soul. The void that had formed in my heart w


    not filling up. It was rotting up.


    I picked up Zoe in my arms and took her to the room. She had curled her arms around my neck as


    she rested her head on my shoulder. I set her on her feet in the room and said, “Take a bath and


    then we’ll talk about what to


    do next.”


    She smiled through her tears and nodded. “I love you, Alpha Graham.”


    I wanted to say the same to her, but I refrained because suddenly I realized I didn’t love her. Now, I


    needed her to give birth to my pup. I needed this heir badly because only my heir would consolidate


    my position in my pack.


    Zoe returned after taking a bath, wrapped in a towel. As shey down next to me, I didn’t


    immediately have s*x with her, even though she presented herself to me. All I did was to sleep


    beside her. We didn’t discuss our future ns at all. Kylie had threatened me she would expose my


    crime. What could I do to stop her from doing it? She had no evidence, and I was sure that she


    wouldn’t file a case against me in the Head Council. In the meantime, had to keep Zoe’s presence a


    secret. If my enemy came to know about her, they would do anything to take her away. I wondered


    if I should mark her?


    The next day when I was in the office, contemting my next move, Zoe came. “Alpha Graham,


    can I talk to you in private?”


    I gestured Asher to leave. As soon as he left and closed the door behind him, Zoe sat at the table


    and said, “Alpha Graham, can you give me ten thousand dors?”


    I frowned. “Why?” –


    She fidgeted with her fingers and looked away. “Kylie and Alpha Logan are after me. Alpha


    Logan’thinks it was me who had kidnapped Kylie, but-” she shook her head as tears rolled out of


    her eyes. “I didn’t do it. It was Alpha Liam who captured both of us. Remember, I called you about


    it?”


    I nodded. “How did you get a mobile to call from the dungeons?” I asked.


    Her face fell t for a moment. She recovered immediately and said, “We weren’t in the dungeons.


    Alpha Liam


    had lodged us in a guest room. A guard lent it to me for only a few minutes.” She quickly changed


    the subject. “So, will you give me money?”


    “You didn’t state the purpose.”


    She took a deep breath in. “I want to stay hidden in the human world for a few days until this chaos


    is over.”


    I narrowed my eyes at her. She wanted to run away? Had it been Kylie, she would have stayed with


    me to handle the chaos. “I’m sorry, Zoe,” I said. “You will remain in my house and won’t be allowed


    to step outside it until you’ve given birth to my pup.”


    Her mouth fell to the floor. “But, Alpha Graham-”


    “There won’t be any more discussion on this. You may leave!” I growled.


    She sniffled. “You’ve changed.”


    Suddenly, the door opened and Asher walked in with a paper in his hand. He looked like he had


    seen a ghost. “You have to see this!” he said and ced the paper in front of me..


    N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    I picked it up to read, and the blood drained from my face. It was a copy of the case that Kylie had fil


    me, Zoe, and Alpha Liam in the Head Council for the murder of her father. “F**k!” I rasped.


    against


    “What’s wrong, Alpha Graham?” Zoe asked. I slipped the paper towards her. When she read it, she


    paled. “It is it is-”


    “It is what it is!” I said as I rubbed my face with my hands. “But why does it have Alpha Liam’s name


    also?” I asked.


    Zoe clenched her teeth. “I–I don’t know!” she bbered. “Maybe she wants to exact revenge on


    him!” She put the paper back on the table. “Alpha Graham, let’s just run away. This is bad news.”


    “No!” I shouted. “If we run, it will look like we havemitted the crime. The Head Council will send


    its hounds to sniff us and get us back. Kylie doesn’t have any evidence and so we will face this


    together!”


    “But Alpha Graham-” Zoe whined. She seemed a lot more panicky than I could understand.


    “That’s it!” I pped the table. She has no evidence. Kylie is doing this just to avenge us. She is


    jealous and still can’t stop thinking about me. Once our innocence is established, she will bear the


    consequences of the council.


    2/3


    And as for us-” I chuckled. “I will marry you and induct you officially in my pack.”


    “Oh!” Zoe eximed, looking happy for the first time.


    I turned to look at Asher. “When do we have to go to the Head Council?” I asked.


    “Next week.”


    “Great. Until then, let’s just rest and focus on the pack. And let Kylie do whatever she wants.” I


    rxed and sat back in the chair. Kylie was so going to lose this.


    I had to keep Zoe’s presence a secret for a week before we went to the Head Council and so I


    barred her from meeting anyone and alsoing out of our room. I assigned only one maid for her


    who was taking care of her. In that one week, she simply rested and ate and offered herself several


    times to me. At least, now I was feeling better. I had heard nothing from my spies about Kylie’s


    movements, and so I was sure that she could not gather any evidence against us.


    I felt a major confidence boost. Kylie was a fool. Just to avenge me, she had filed a case. She was


    going to fall t on her face and I couldn’t wait to see that. Once we will be acquitted, I was going to


    sue her for framing me in a fake case and then I would demand hefty money inpensation. One


    that would make Alpha Logan a pauper.
