Contract With Alpha Logan novel Chapter 4

Kylie POV

Surprise washed over me. I was sure that Alpha Logan would give me an appointment at least two months later, but he was coming here in two days. “That’s lovely news, Katy,” I said, finding myself eager to meet him. “But if he’s meeting Graham, then what is the agenda?” It was apparent that he wasn’t coming to meet me.

“I don’t know, girl,” Katy replied. “He said that he was going to meet Alpha Graham as such and that he will meet you there.”

I stifled a squeal as hopes rose inside me. This was my chance to get my pack back from Graham and exit the marriage gracefully. “Thanks so much, Katy,” I said with a smile. “You don’t know what it means to me.”

“Don’t be stupid!” Katy chided me with banter. “I would have also loved to come, but I have to attend this stupid ball which my Alpha brother has asked me to on his behalf!”

“Why? What about his Luna? She should attend it,” I said.

Katy sighed. “Alpha Logan refuses to get married and tied down to one woman! He is thirty and still waiting for his mate. I’ve asked him several times to take a chosen mate.”

I chuckled. Some people lived up to their reputation. “I see… Well, thanks again, Katy. I would have loved to meet you.”

“Sure girl!” She said enthusiastically. “Catch you later!”

For the first time in a long, things looked up. If he was coming in two days, then I had to prepare everything and tell him in one go. It took me the entire day to jot down my case. Knowing that Ana was the only one who might disturb me in my room, I took advantage of the situation and meticulously prepared my case to present to Alpha Logan. My only worry was how I was going to meet him alone.

I hoped Graham would call me to tell me about Alpha Logan, but he didn’t. It was the next day in the morning he came to my room after training. I had taken a bath and was dressing up when he came. “Kylie,” he said in a clipped voice.

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.”

“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?
