Contract With Alpha Logan novel Chapter 96

Katy POV

My stomach knotted with unease as Diana hugged him out of the blue. Ace’s jaws clenched, and he pushed her lightly away from him. Smiling tightly, he nodded. “Let’s have dinner.”

“Oh, come on, Ace,” Luce said. “Why are you so uppity? Diana has won the first, and she is taking what is rightfully hers according to a certain demand in the morning.”

Rebecca and her minions laughed because it was a jab on me. With a tight grip on my wineglass, I focused my attention on Ace since he was my calming presence. Else, I would have gone and ripped Diana’s head off her torso.

Ace offered his arm to her. Diana took it rather pompously and walked under the temporary gazebo that was built in the middle of the garden. He pulled out a chair for her and she sat down. Then he walked to his side and sat. She leaned on the table by crossing her arms on it, showing off her cleavage. A little more leaning would have resulted in her tits spilling out. If given a chance, she could give him a blow job here.

Ace sat rather stiffly as he waited for the servers. He looked at everything and anyone else other than her. That was a relief. As soon as our eyes connected, a smile tugged at his lips.

“You know what?” Diana said to divert his attention towards her.

“What?” he asked with his brows furrowed.

“You look so handsome that I can’t breathe!”

He jerked his head back. “Thanks. You look good too.”

“Just good?” she asked, pouting. “I’ve won the first task. I was bruised and injured, but I did it all for you.”

“Thank you,” he replied nonchalantly. “I hope you are feeling better.”

I laughed on the inside when her face fell at his bland answer.

The server came to pour them wine. I noticed that while everyone else was having dinner, their eyes were on Ace and Diana.

Ace wasn’t speaking at all. It was as if he was waiting for the dinner to get over.

“When will you kiss me?” Diana asked, staring at him intensely.

“She’s such a bitch!” Alicia hissed at my side. “She is trying to show everyone that he will kiss her soon.”

I remained silent and sipped more wine. My instincts depended a lot on what Ace was doing.

And I sipped my wine because this was what I was counting on—Ace’s instincts. I intentionally let Diana win the last match. I let her savor the sweetness of victory and enjoy her moment of triumph, just to see her come crashing down.

Right as she touched Ace’s lips for a kiss, I focused all my energy on tugging at our bond. I felt Ace’s heart stuttering to a stop, and I tugged our bond again. As a result, he pushed Diana away from him, repulsed, like it was torture. His reaction to her kiss was instinctive.

“What? Why?” Diana whined, flustered as hell. “I—”

“You severely injured the omegas and, as a Luna of the pack, you should look after those who are weaker than you,” Ace cut her off in a strict voice.

“But this is a competition!” she argued, still whining.

“Then you should have stopped the moment you defeated the girls in your group, but you continued to pound them.” Ace pointed. “I wouldn’t let any girl with that mentality to be my Luna. You are eliminated.” Saying that, he walked back to his parents. When his gaze fell on me, I beamed. My chest swelled with pride. They could cast a spell on my Ace, but I knew I had faith in my moon bond.

Beau was ashen white as he stared from Diana to Ace to Luce.

Luce started to say something in protest, but King Soren stopped her. He said, “I support Ace’s decision. Miss Diana will be eliminated from the competition.”

Diana let out a loud sob and ran out of the garden, wiping her tears. Luce followed her, but Rebecca stayed back. She stared at me and I returned the favor back.
