He lifted his hand as if to slap me, but my chest vibrated with a growl because Coral tried to surface in defense. He backed off immediately, his eyes widening in surprise. “Zoe is not in my pack. She escaped a long time back, remember?”
he reiterated.
I snorted. “Then you should feel happy, because if it is proven that I am fabricating the evidence, then I will be punished, not you. Why are you so riled up instead?”
With a frustrated sigh, he pivoted and walked away.
The next hearing was six hours later, during which Alpha Logan and I had our lunch and discussed more. I didn’t see Graham or Asher, but I knew they were lurking around.
When the meeting began, Elder Hanks said, “The pictures are not doctored, Alpha Graham. So it means that Zoe is hiding in your pack and you are lying.”
“No!”
Graham shouted. “This is outrageous! Zoe is not in my pack. You can search my pack’s territory for it!”
“Oh, we searched your territory,”
Elder Hanks said. “While you were over here, we did that. Why do you think we are meeting after six hours?”
Graham gaped, darting his eyes at the other Elders. “And did you find her?”
he asked.
“No, we didn’t,”
he replied.
Graham grinned and relaxed in his chair. “See, I told you she is not in my pack. Now it is proven that Kylie was lying. She is liable for punishment! Punish her!”
I sighed. “Alpha Graham, the reason the Elder Council warriors couldn’t find Zoe in your pack was because-“
I waved at the main door of the council hall. It opened and Zoe walked in, looking like a deer caught in a headlight with Fenris and another warrior holding each of her upper arm.
Graham’s face turned ashen white. He got up from his chair as Zoc approached him, crying and sniffling.
I completed my sentence. “–because my people already caught her when she was fleeing your pack when you called her right after the first hearing today.”
I smiled and added, “This was fun.”
Then I turned towards Elder Hanks, who was actually grinning. “Fenris caught her from the Lunar pack’s border when she was running away. I guess it proves that it was Alpha Graham who was lying and not me.”
Zoe cried loudly and ran to Graham. She wrapped her arms around his waist and cried, “Our baby! She wants to kill our baby.”
I rolled my eyes. Logan placed his hand on my back to calm me.
Graham stared at me with shock and surprise in his eyes. His face was blank and his mind numb. He reached out to his gamma in the morning to plan her escape and hide her in order to frame me for lying.
I was sure he never expected my kick–ass move. Did he think I was here for fun? Well, yes… I was having fun.
Shir and Fenris were with me as always in this.
Alpha Logan had sent his spies everywhere to find Zoe, and his spy network was the best amongst the werewolves’ community. We had the best trackers. Usually, a pack had one or two trackers, but the Nord pack had a wing of trackers in which there were fourteen of them. And all were professionally trained not just in our world, but also in the human world. They had every damn modern gadget for tracking, apart from their fantastic sense of smell. And none of them could pick up Zoe’s scent. So where was she?
The past week, the trackers had spent in all the forests around the area to find her. The only explanation was that she was hiding, and she was hiding well. I called Shir to discuss her and told him my suspicions. He said that he would find out about it. Shir still had some connections in the Lunar pack and that’s what he used. An omega sent us pictures of Zoe in Graham’s house.
Graham.”
I heard Logan laughing quietly as Graham shot a glare at me and Zoe clenched her fists as if ready to attack me. Too bad. They couldn’t. “That money is used for my pack’s benefit. I won’t steal it from my pack members!”
Graham hissed. “You’ve left us in a pathetic condition. Your intentions are wicked. You want to push my pack into a life of poverty.”
I rolled my eyes. These two had really excelled in doing drama. Alpha Graham, I know you can pay that money as fine. And if you were so bothered about your pack, why did you lie?”
“Shut up!”
Zoe cried. “Just shut up! What have we done to you that you have turned into an anaconda?”
I raised my eyebrow and c ocked my head to the side. “Anaconda Baby, you haven’t seen me in full form yet. I’ve been dealing with so many vipers lately, I’ve had to become an anaconda myself. Remember, an anaconda silently slithers through the underbrush with deliberate and calculated movements before attacking its prey. This is just the beginning.”
Zoe’s throat bobbed as we both got locked in a staring contest. Coral growled inside me to unleash her and attack her. Being an alpha wolf, she hated if people stared at her like this. Zoe had to avert her gaze because she visibly winced when my alpha aura spilled out. “Elder Hanks,”
she cried. “Please don’t imprison Alpha Graham. I am pregnant with his pup. Please don’t separate us. He was doing all this just to protect me.”
“Silence!”
Elder Hanks said, bringing the gavel down. “The High Council’s decision will not be challenged!”
Zoe got up and ran to kneel in front of all the Elders. “Please, I beg of you. Leave him. He is innocent. He was doing it for |||

According to the laws, you calla prepant ste-vot My mouth dropped to the floor, bearing another one of her lies. “That’s another biel II ask you to growled. Zoe ignored me and continued. “If anyone is the culprit, it’s her, Kyle. She should be imprisoned. W ke Alpha Graham as a prisoner when all he did was to protect me? And if you don’t agree, take me, not him.”
“Zoe!”
Graham rasped. “No! Come back!”
She started sobbing. “I won’t come back until the council takes its orders back”
Elder Hanks looked at her with exasperation in his eyes, but I knew he had to yield to whatever other Elders demdese few minutes of silence, which was punctuated by Zoe’s s obs, the Elders came to a decision. Elder Hanks parsed his ips and said. “Okay, we are taking her pregnancy into consideration. Alpha Graham won’t be imprisoned but he has to pay a ine of fifty thousand dollars”
Saying that, he brought the gare down. This council meeting is adjourned. We’ll send new diners for the next meeting soon Zoe got up, bowed to the Elders and rushed to Graham. She caught his hand and pulled him out of the main bull barnedy, as if being chased by bats from hell. The Elders also left soon. When I was alone with Logan, he pulled me into a tight embrace. I shook my head. I thought it would get over noding, but Zoe is playing her cards well”
*Zoe is like a wounded hyena. You did great, Kylie,”
he said, kissing the crown of my head. Don’t worry. They are already pretty shaken up. We will take them down in the next hearing I let out a rough exhale. This was a partial win, and I felt good in a long time. My los curled up es next time it will be their last.”
I winked at him, and he grinned. “I swear. Luna Kylie, I am so happy to be on your good side. You are the smartest, susiest and most beautiful woman I’ve ever met.”
“You are biased because I am you mate.”
I said in light banter. “Well, maybe.”
Suddenly, my phone buzzed with a text message. It was from an unknown number. It read: You’ll pay for it. “Who’s it?”
Logan asked with a frown. I chuckled as I messaged back to the unknown number-Bring it on! First, pay the fine
His words caught me off guard. “Care to elaborate?”
“Kylie, let’s not discuss it today,”
he said, as his hands tightened around the wheel. “No, I want to discuss it. It’s better to face it rather than to avoid it.”
C He didn’t reply to me and stayed quiet for a long time. I stared at him and knew that he had blocked his mind. I wanted to pester him, but I decided against it. Katy was his younger sister, and he was very protective of her. I wanted to tell him they were mates, but Katy had asked me not to. How could I betray her trust? After a long silence, he said, “Ace’s parents are different. They come from a long line of royalty. The world has moved forward, but they still like to retain their royal customs and traditions.”
He rolled his eyes. Ace’s move to become my Beta instead of embracing his Alpha status has left them unhappy. Ace was my friend ever since we were in college, and he would often come home with me in summers and winters during vacation. I mean, he wouldn’t even go to his parents’ place, which was weird as s hit. But I never questioned him. I didn’t question him when he showed an interest in being my Beta. It was an honor to have him as my Beta.”
“Whoa! Royalty, huh?”
||| <
be able to survive in that world! Now think, what would happen to Katy? She’s a free bird. And if she takes Ace as her chosen mate, then-“
His shoulders bunched up in tension. “Then she will separate from him in the first month because of his family. My sister is so bubbly and bold. Do you think she’ll be able to cope up?”
“Goddess!”
Disbelief skittered down my spine. “This is insane. Katy has never lived by the rules!”
He shrugged. “That’s why I said-I’m okay until she doesn’t have a romantic feeling for him.”
I snapped my mouth shut and bit my tongue because I wanted to say that the ship had already docked. “It is a very complicated situation with Ace. Sometimes, I feel he is with me because he wants to get away from his parents, but I know soon they will call him to take over as the Alpha of his pack,”
Logan said. “Ace has a younger sister who is married and her husband is ambitious. So I am worried about that part as well. I have told him several times to go to his pack and take over, but he has always declined it politely.”
Da mn. I knew why Ace wasn’t going. He would never leave Katy alone and he didn’t want to take her there with him. Maybe Katy didn’t want to go. There had to be a way to fight this s tupid situation. We arrived at the Nord pack and Katy was thrilled to know that I had won the first round of hearing. “We have to celebrate!”
she chirped. I laughed and squeezed her in a hug. “Not now, Katy, but I promise I will celebrate when I throw that b astard Graham in the dungeons!”
Ace was hovering around and all his concentration was on Katy, “Hey Ace!”
Logan called him. “How about we go for a hunt? Only the top warriors. My wolf wants to come out.”
