I hissed.
“We love you!”
Katy giggled.
“What Katy said,”
Ace smiled. Unbeknownst, his hand went to her back, and he rubbed it lightly as if it was natural.
Hmmm…
Grandfather Hanks entered the kitchen with a twinkle in his eyes. I got up to bow to him. He said, “Kylie, you don’t have to bow to me every time you see me, okay?”
He went to sit beside Ace and Ace immediately straightened up.
I don’t know what I mumbled, but I nodded and sat down. We all had our breakfast in silence for a few minutes when I spoke up. “Logan, where is Alpha Liam right now?”
He paused eating, and stared at me. “He is lodged in our dungeons. And today will be his first torture session. Why?”
I realized everyone was now looking at me. Taking a ragged breath in, I looked at Grandfather. “I want to file a case against Graham in the High Council,”
I said. “He and Zoe murdered my father. How soon can I do that?”
Grandfather placed his fork and spoon on the table as he rested back on the chair. “Kylie, you’ve just come back after a dangerous battle in which four packs were involved. Take some rest.”
I shook my head. “I can’t. Graham should be punished for what he did to me. So please tell me what I can do?”
“Well, technically, you can file the case anytime soon. But-“
he leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table and steepling his fingers below his chin. “You don’t have any evidence against Graham. You can’t do a thing if you don’t have evidence. If you cannot prove that he is guilty of murder, then the Council will ban you from filing any case for one year.”
A knot twisted in my stomach. I bit my l*p and started chewing it.
He continued, “So you better be sure of filing a case against him. Zoe is also at large. She is crucial to the case. Without her, how are you going to prove it?”
Kylie POV
I licked my l*ps. “That’s why I want Liam to stay in his senses,”
I said, turning towards Logan. “If you’ll torture him, he will lose it. And I need him to speak against Graham in the High Council. Even without Zoe, we can win this case.”
He shook his head. “Kylie, if you want, I will spare him for a few days. But what makes you think he will accept his crime?”
“Logan is right,”
grandfather supported him. “Liam will never confess to his crime, because that would mean that he would be thrown in the dungeons of the High Council, and the dungeons of the High Council are notorious for their hellish conditions. Nothing you can even think of. As a matter of fact, if his case is not proven, we will have to grant him freedom.”
I gasped. “No! Please don’t do that.”
Grandfather exhaled roughly. “Those are the laws, Kylie. My hands are tied. So whatever you do, do it with caution.”
I pursed my l*ps, feeling defeated already. Logan brought his hand and placed it on my thigh beneath the table. “Don’t worry, love. We’ll find something against Graham.”
“Have you sent wolves to hunt her?”
I asked him.
Ace intervened, “Yes, Luna Kylie. I have sent my wolves everywhere to hunt her, but she is still at large. However it is early and she could be hiding anywhere.”
Is it possible that she has gone into the human world?”
Katy mused.
I shook my head. “I highly doubt that. She is pregnant, without money, and she is at the risk of being identified and killed. The human towns are very far. She won’t venture on that side.”
“You can’t be sure about that snake!”
Katy snapped. “I hope I catch her before you guys catch her. I swear, I’m going to make her pay for her sins like hell!”
Even though Katy looked furious, I couldn’t help a feeling of warmth surging through my chest. She was my best friend and now my sister-in-law, and now she supported me with full might.
“Enough tiger!”
Ace chided her. “You’ll get to play with your prize after I’ve caught her.”
I chuckled. I think Ace was into Kylie more than he cared to admit it.
“Anyway,”
Logan interrupted the conversation. “So about the honeymoon.”
“Oh! Where are you going for it?”
Grandfather asked, and I blushed again. “Why don’t you go to our island in the Mediterranean? If you want, I can also let you go to our Bahamas island, which I bought for your grandma.”
My eyebrows shot to the hairline. Grandfather had bought an island for his wife? And this family had an island in the Mediterranean?
Logan shook his head. “I am taking my Kylie to a secret hideaway and she has agreed for two days.”
“I didn’t agree with it at all!”
I whined.
“Now, don’t lie, love,”
Logan exclaimed. “You just agreed. Didn’t she, Katy?”
“Yes, she agreed!”
Katy nodded vehemently.
“What Katy says,”
Ace said, sighing and looking at her with puppy eyes even though no one asked for his opinjon.
As soon as breakfast was over, Logan and Ace went to the office while I went back to the bedroom with Katy. I took her hand in mine and made her sit on the bed. “You better tell me what is going on between you and Ace,”
enquired, curiosity killing me.
She blushed and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. “It’s nothing…”
“It can’t be anything!”
I said, exasperated. “Why are you hiding it?”
She lowered her head and fidgeted with her fingers. I curled my fingers beneath her chin, forcing her to lift her face. Her eyes were red as tears pooled. “Katy?”
I hugged her immediately. “Tell me everything. Please.”
I rubbed her back gently until she settled down.
When he pulled away from me, she took a deep breath in. “Ace’s parents are against this marriage.”
“Whoa! Why? Does Logan know about it?”
Her words took me by surprise. She was the daughter of the most powerful Alpha in North America, granddaughter of the Head of the Elder Council and Ace’s parents didn’t see that?
She shook her head. “Please don’t tell him anything.”
Wiping her tears, she looked away. “His mother wants him to marry their business partner’s daughter. He has refused to marry her, though.”
I blinked at her with my mind stuttering. “Excuse me, but your brother is wealthier than God. I mean, if this is about money, then you are way more richer than Ace.”
“I wish it was about money. There’s something I can’t put my finger on, but I don’t care.”
This was the first time Katy had opened up with me. I didn’t ask her more questions because I didn’t want to push her and make her feel uncomfortable. “Okay, so do you want me to deal with it?”
“Hell no!”
she snapped. “At least not now.”
