I turned to look at him enthusiastically. As the Luna of the pack, he came to me with a request to join him for dinner that we were hosting for Alpha Logan. “Yes, Graham,”
I asked as I wore my earring. He was just wearing training shorts, and he looked so handsome with those chiseled muscles. Had it been a normal day, I would have ended up having sex with him right now, but the bond inside me was turning into a festering wound. The attraction was slowly ebbing.
He took a ragged breath in. “Tomorrow, Alpha Logan is going to be here. I want Zoe to attend all the functions with me and not you.”
Dumbfounded, I stared at him. “What do you mean? I’m your Luna. She is your mistress!”
He shifted on his feet uncomfortably. “But Zoe is pregnant with my pup. Now I want her representation to be more prominent in the pack than yours. Moreover, it’ll be a ball. Who are you going to go with? I will be with Zoe and so it will be very awkward for you.”
Saying that, he shook his head. “You can’t come.”
And he simply walked out of the room.
I clenched my fists as frustration rose. No way I was going to lose this opportunity. I needed someone to take me to the ball.
Zoe was slowly clawing her way into my pack. If she went to the ball with Graham, I was officially over. I went downstairs to have breakfast when I heard a conversation between Zoe and an omega.
“Miss Zoe,”
she said as she served her breakfast. “The beautician is here to see you.”
“Oh, okay Nancy. Ask her to go to my room.”
“But you are so beautiful already, Miss Zoe,”
Nancy chuckled as she buttered her.
Zoe laughed. “Alpha Logan is the strongest Alpha. After all, your Alpha asked me last night to be present with him the entire time when Alpha Logan is here. I have to make a good impression. Don’t I?”
“Of course,”
Nancy replied. “It’s nice to have to have you back, Miss Zoe.”
My heart thundered. So Zoe knew yesterday and Graham informed me today? He was making me so insignificant with every minute. This situation demanded my patience and intelligence. I stifled my rage and returned to my room and called Gamma Shir.
“Luna Kylie?”
“Shir, do you know the program for tomorrow?”
I asked at the risk of sounding pitiful because as a Luna I should know about it. But what was the point in hiding my situation from Shir?
After a hesitant pause, he said, “Yes.”
“Good, I want you to accompany me to the ball.”
I disconnected the call, not wanting to hear his gasps of surprise. And then I went to my wardrobe where I chose the best silk gown I owned. If I had to make an impression and save my face, this was essential.
The next morning, as I peered out my window, I watched in astonishment as a convoy of ten sleek, black cars pulled into our driveway. Dozens of warriors in black uniform got down and rushed to the Rolls Royce that was in the middle. I stopped breathing when I saw Alpha Logan stepping out of the car.
With dark hair and a face so perfectly chiseled, he towered above all of them. More handsome than Adonis, Alpha Logan possessed a dominant aura and demeanor. It was like his presence sucked up all the surrounding air. He lowered his sunglasses and looked up. At me. Our gazes locked, my green ones meeting his hazel ones. I drew in a sharp breath feeling uncomfortable.
“Alpha Logan!”
Graham greeted him, and I quickly hid behind the curtain. I could feel my heart racing, its beat thundering in my ears, as if trying to break free from its confines like a caged bird.
“Alpha Graham,”
Alpha Logan greeted him back in a deep baritone voice.
“Meet Zoe,”
Graham said. My cheeks reddened with shame.
“Where’s your Luna?”
Alpha Logan asked.
I think Graham was startled by his question. “She—she’s unwell.”
“And so you’ve got your mistress to welcome me?”
Logan growled. “Despite knowing that she is below my status? Are you insulting me?”
Alpha Graham knew that some Alphas liked to stick with protocols. He gulped. “Alpha Logan, I—”
“I don’t have time!”
Alpha Logan cut him off. “I want to meet the person behind the Golden Gate project and then I’ll leave as soon as possible.”
I was behind the project’s Golden Gate. A shudder ran down my body. Did I do anything wrong? It was a project where I had identified what was the best wheat variety that could be grown in our pack’s territory and encouraged the pack members to grow it. Our wolves had benefited immensely out of that project because the project was a mega success and brought in a lot of money, boosting our economy.
I peeped from my window to see them, but I only saw a very embarrassed Zoe standing outside with the warriors as both the Alphas went in. A smile spread across my face inadvertently. Finally, Zoe knew her place. Right?
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 accompany 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 plan.
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 black 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 accompany me, it’ll be a disaster for you. So, I’ll walk in and you can come later?”
Shir seemed to relax 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 necklace and matching earrings which was a gift from Graham on our last 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 necklace 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 to come 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 black shoes, he looked easily the most handsome wolf. The circle of warriors around him looked impenetrable. 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.
