Chapter 50
Kylie POV
When Katy told me that Alpha Logan would fight my case, I was honestly surprised because he had never ever mentioned it to me before. A trickle of nervousness entered my ch*st , but it whooshed out the moment a whisper in my mind sounded, ‘Let him! That was Coral. I swear my wolf chose the strangest of the times to surface. She receded immediately after that, leaving me dumbstruck. But I trusted Coral and so I shoved that little piece of anxiety as I reached the Council Hall.
Elder Lester’s question caught Graham off guard, but he quickly responded, “Because she’s not only my mate, but also my wife.”
“Would you like to counteract his argument, Luna Kylie?” Elder Lester asked me.
Alpha Logan pressed my thigh, and I confidently said, “I would like Alpha Logan to speak on my behalf.”
“Interesting,” Elder Hanks muttered and nodded. “Please proceed.”
Alpha Logan got up and buttoned his shirt. He walked in front of the tables and asked his first question to Graham, “We heard you brought another woman in your life, despite having a wife. Is that true?”
Graham appeared shell-shocked when I announced that Alpha Logan would speak on my behalf. He gritted his teeth at Alpha Logan’s question. He glanced at me and I knew he couldn’t deny the truth. “Yes, but-”
“Please let me do all the talking and you answer the questions,” Alpha Logan cut him off. “What is her name?”
Graham’s hand curled in anger. “Zoe Muller.”
“So when you brought Zoe, did your wife ask you to send her back to her parents?” Alpha Logan continued.
“Yes, she did.”
“But you
you didn’t. Why?”
“Because Zoe was pregnant with my pup!” Graham growled. “And I need an heir for my pack. Every pack looks at their Alpha for an heir. Kylie couldn’t provide it.”

“You mean Zoe was pregnant with your pup before you brought her to your home?” Logan asked, raising an
eyebrow.
Graham blinked his eyes and stuttered, “N-no.” He said, as if he was unsure, which was pretty interesting.
“So basically you didn’t know that Zoe would get pregnant with your pup and you brought her home? You cheated on your wife and mate with Zoe and then made her pregnant, right?”

“This is preposterous!” Graham shouted. He was getting riled up by Logan’s line of questioning. “I didn’t cheat on my wife. Zoe, my childhood sweetheart, reached out to me for help because she was being abused by her husband, Alpha Liam. I couldn’t bear to see her like that, so I brought her to stay with us. She needed all the love and care after the trauma she went through. I provided her with that. Kylie just got jealous when I had no intentions of leaving her.”
Alpha Logan scratched his eyebrow. “If introducing another woman into your marriage with your mate is not considered cheating; then what would be your definition of cheating? You made the other woman pregnant, gave her more importance than your wife and you say that you didn’t cheat? Amazing,” he remarked. “The truth is, you wanted Zoe, but you couldn’t leave Kylie. Why couldn’t you leave Kylie?”
“Because my wolf wanted her!” he shouted. “I know many Alphas who have more than two she-wolves to appease their desires. It is nothing new!”
“But is there any Alpha who has cheated on their mate? Because most here have chosen mates,” Alpha Logan. asked. He narrowed his eyes. “And I can’t believe what you are saying. You are practically announcing in the Head Elder Council that just because you have Alpha status, you can practice polygamy.” He picked up a piece of paper from our table and shoved it in his hand. “Read the rules, Alpha Graham. Polygamy was banned a hundred. years back!”
As Graham read the paper, he paled.
But Alpha Logan was on fire. “You mentioned earlier that Kylie couldn’t provide you with an heir.” He picked up my medical report and handed it to him. “According to the pack laws, a Luna has to undergo medical tests every year to see if she is fit to lead the pack. In the last medical test Kylie underwent about a month ago, it was proven that she has a healthy b*dy and can bear children, but you forgot a vital part.”
Graham scrunched his eyebrows as he glared at Alpha Logan. “I have forgotten nothing.”
“You have,” Alpha Logan insisted. “Just after you got married to Kylie, you insisted she take an anti-pregnancy shot.”

Graham stood there, gaping in shock. My fertility shot was a big secret, and I had no idea why he insisted at that time. He insisted that I keep it a secret from the pack members, as they eagerly anticipated the arrival of an heir. The thought of their Alpha being against the pregnancy would fill them with dread.
There was a pin drop silence, growing thick with tension.
Graham said, “But that shot was only for two years. And she’s lying. She wanted it, not me.”
“That’s right. The shot’s period was for two years,” Alpha Logan chuckled. “And you brought Zoe into your life on your second wedding anniversary.” He picked up another paper and gave it to him. “This is your consent for the
shot.”
Graham snapped his m*uth shut so hard that it was a wonder his fangs didn’t crac k. He snapped his eyes towards me, his gaze filled with anger and accusation, as if questioning how I could betray him and reveal the secret to the Head Council. But he didn’t realize that all was fair in love and war. And this was war.
Alpha Logan continued, “Kylie didn’t become pregnant because of this. So your argument that she couldn’t produce you an heir is baseless.” He sighed. “Your arguments are flimsy, if anything else. At first, you said that you brought Zoe into your marriage because she was abused. If she was abused, then you could have cared for her and returned her to her parents or you could have talked to her husband, Alpha Liam, and arranged for a separation. Why didn’t you return her?”
Graham opened his m*uth and then shut it again. His fists clenched on his side, but he couldn’t counter that
argument.
So Alpha Logan added, “Instead, you did the same with your wife. You abused Kylie by cheating with Zoe, but because-and I quote this, ‘Your wolf wanted her, you couldn’t leave Kylie. Don’t you think that is a severe form
of abuse?”
“I never abused Kylie!” Graham gritted.
“Oh, you did. But we’ll come to that later,” Alpha Logan snapped. “You said that you wanted to keep Zoe because you wanted an heir. But we’ve already established that even Kylie could bear your heir.” He took a deep breath and crossed his arms across his ch*st . “The only conclusion that can be inferred from this is that you did it all on purpose, thinking that your Luna would adjust to your debauchery.”
“Shut the f u k up!” Graham yelled, losing control. “She is my mate and my Luna, and that is a fact that no one can deny.” He turned to look at the Elders. “Kylie bears my mark and I demand the Head Council that I take her back with me to my pack. This kind of situation has never arisen and it will set a disgusting precedent amongst

the werewolves. I have the support of the majority of the Alphas, which means we can get
