    Chapter 83


    Kylie POV


    For the entire week, I was at the edge. Logan had taken me to the pack house, where he would


    often train the senior pack members. The young pups were trained by Beta Ace. Logan asked me if


    I wanted to join him for training. Though I was reluctant, training provided me with the much-needed


    focus. I was in constant touch with Shir and Fenris about thetest developments in my pack. Shir


    had also posted a few spies who were working with the spies of the Nord pack.


    On Friday, after an intense training at the pack house, I was drying myself after a bath when I


    received a call from Logan. He had already gone to the office and informed me he would bete


    because he had to tour the pack’s territory.


    “Hey!” I breathed.


    “Got an email from the High Council,” he said with utter calm in his voice.


    My heart raced in my chest. “And?”


    “They’ve issued a fresh date. We have to be there the day after tomorrow.”


    “Great!” Goosebumps crawled all over my skin. This was going to be the end of the case.


    “We’ll start tomorrow evening. Gramps has asked us to stay with him for the night.”


    “Oh, sure,” I breathed. “Can we take Katy with us? She needs a change of environment.”


    “Why?” he asked, his voice filled with suspicion.


    I let out a nervous chuckle. “She’s bored!”


    I could practically hear the roll of his eyes in his snort. “That girl needs to find her mate soon, or I’ll


    choose one for her.”


    “Hey, don’t you say that for my BF!” I chided him. “Else you’ll be sleeping on the couch in the main


    hall today!”


    “What? I am your husband!” He protested.


    “And she’s my best friend. Your bestie is more important than your husband, because only she


    bears all your nonsense and gossip.”


    He sighed and chuckled. “If I am sleeping on the couch, you will sleep there too.” N?velDrama.Org ? content.


    1 grinned. “That can be arranged.”


    I slipped in my denims and went to Katy’s room. She was still sleeping. I shook her, and she


    snapped awake like she just had a crazy dream. When she looked at me, she glowered. “Kylie!


    What the f uck!” She pulled theforter over her and went back to sleep.


    “Do you want toe with me to Grandfather’s ce?” I asked.


    Slowly, she pulled herforter down and opened one eye. “When are you going?”


    I grinned because my doubts were confirmed. She needed a change. “In two days.”


    “I will. At least Ace won’t be on the edge when I am with gramps and you guys,” she said and went


    back to sleep.


    The next day, I had prepared every document I could to solidify my case. I was at my wit’s end


    when Logan was driving me to the High Council. Katy was in our car and Ace couldn’te, but he


    was extremely angry about her leaving. I heard them fighting in her room the day before. He had


    warned her that if he smelled any other wolf on her he was going to kill him.

    When we arrived at the High Council, I saw gramps waiting for us. He hugged Katy and then me.


    “You girls are my favorite in this world,” he said with a smile as he circled each arm on our


    shoulders and guided us into his home.


    “Gramps, I wanted to talk about tomorrow’s case,” I said in a hushed voice.


    He shook his head. “No, Kylie, I won’t talk to you about it. We are going to spend one evening


    without talking about Graham or Zoe, okay?”


    I pursed my lips and nodded because I knew he wouldn’t encourage me. It was a lovely evening


    with him. I didn’t know that he was a superb cook and Logan was a bad one. Logan helped Gramps


    by sc atte ring everything around him. Gramps would chide him and weughed.


    Next day, when we reached the High council’s headquarters, Zoe was standing in the parking lot


    with Asher, smoking a cigarette, talking in hushed tones. She red at me as I got out and walked


    in along with Logan. “Bit ch!” she muttered. I didn’t even acknowledge her presence.


    Graham was sitting inside the foyer. As soon as he saw me, he shifted in his chair. “You are the


    most vindictive woman on this,” he hissed. “I hope you are thrown in the dungeons and


    tortured to hell!”


    In a sh of a second, Logan was on his throat, gripping his neck with his hands. “I told you to


    behavest time!” he growled in an animalistic voice.


    “Leave me!” Graham said in a choked voice, his hands shooting to Logan’s wrists. “You are in the


    High Council. I will file a case against you!”


    I rushed to Logan and pulled him away. “Logan, please love.” He seemed to calm down and


    removed his hands from Graham’s throat. As Graham rubbed his throat while ring at us, I tugged


    Logan back to the chair.


    Zoe entered the foyer, along with Asher. She halted as soon as her eyes pinned me. “You know


    what?” she said as she sassily walked to Graham. “I can see that this case is open and shut. You


    have no evidence against me or Graham. You are simply fooling everyone around you. Such an


    attention seeker. Tsk, tsk. Maybe, you should join a nursery school. But I don’t think you’ll ever


    witness another beautiful sunrise again, as darkness will engulf your life from this day forward!”


    I narrowed my eyes. “Excellent description of my days. You’ve really excelled in drama, haven’t


    you? Otherwise, how could you convince Graham that you are carrying his pup when the pup is


    Liam’s?” Her face turned sour, but I ignored her and said to Graham, “Have you got the paternity


    test done?” Graham clenched his jaws, and I knew I had done my job well. They were both riled up.


    We were called inside the main hall for the next hearing. As usual, Elder Hanks was sitting in the


    center, nked by others. I bowed to them before taking my seat.


    “Luna Kylie,” Elder Hanks said, as he flipped through the pages in front of him. “You have filed a


    case against Alpha Graha and Zoe Mueller for killing your father.” He looked at me through his


    eyesses. “Do you have any proof?”


    “Elder Hanks, when I was captured by Alpha Liam in the erstwhile Brownfur pack, Zoe had


    confessed to her crime. I didn’t even know that my father was killed because I was always under the


    impression that he died of a heart attack.” A lump formed in my throat, remembering my father. I


    swallowed it and continued. “She said that she killed him in collusion with Alpha Graham, who was


    my husband at that time.”


    “This is pure malice, Elder Hanks,” Zoe cried. “I am giving birth to a new life. How can I even think


    of taking away a life? Kylie Kennedy has no limit when ites to ming her former husband.”
