Chapter 6
Kylie POV
Alpha Logan’s words hit ime like a bolt of lightning, causing me to gasp aloud. I chuckled nervously. “I’m not sure that I can go with you tomorrow morning. My husband would never allow me.”
Without budging from his place, in a dead calm voice, he said, “Then you don’t know me.”
My m*uth opened and closed rapidly, resembling the gasping of a fish out of water. I didn’t know how to react to that, because I was sure that Graham wouldn’t allow me. As a matter of fact, he must be stewing right now beside Zoe. Which husband would want their wife alone with another Alpha?
“Let’s go back to the party, Luna Kylie,” Alpha Logan said, offering me his arm. When I hesitated, he raised an eyebrow. “I know my manners, Luna Kylie. A gentleman escorts his woman to the ball like this. I’m sorry that your husband has lost his manners in his mistress’s pussy.”
Goddess. His lewd words made my cheeks heat. I blushed hard. I took his arm immediately, and we walked back to the party. Obviously, everyone was looking at me. I thanked him and left his side to mingle with others. As the Luna of my pack, it was my duty to welcome everyone. I glanced at Graham and Zoe who were shooting glares at me, but I avoided both of them.
Seeing me alone, a few unmarried Alphas and Betas approached me. Usually, they maintained distance, but not today. I felt a surge of confidence running through my veins.
“Luna Kylie,” said the youngest of them. “You look stunning”
“Thanks,” I politely dipped my chin a little.
“Have you considered coming over to my pack?” he asked. “We are hosting the Moonlit Revelries next week.”
I knew what Moonlit Revelries were. They were informal gatherings where the pack members socialized, danced and enjoyed each other’s company under the moonlight. All packs held it and it was popular amongst the young wolves. An invitation to this event meant he was interested in me beyond just flirting.
“I’m not sure,” I said, as my gaze darted to Alpha Logan. Why was he looking so pissed off? “But I’ll let you know in advance
if I come.”
“Great!” the young Alpha chirped. “So tonight, can I have the honor to dance with you first?”

“She will dance with me,” Alpha Graham’s chilled command cast a silence upon the group. Surprise flitted through me because this was unlike Graham. Zoe seemed to have him glued to her hip, and now he expected me to join him on the dance floor? I wanted to refuse, but that would make me look horrible. So, I accepted his command. After all, I had to see the expression on Zoe’s face also.
“Thanks Grahamn. I’d hoped you would ask me,” I said with a subtle hint to him and the audience that conveyed he was standing with his mistress.
He took my hand and tugged me to the dance floor. He grabbed my hand, pulled me closer to his b*dy, and nodded at the musicians. As soon as the musicians started playing the orch*st ra. Every step he took echoed his aggression, but I matched his
pace. My eyes went to Zoe, who was standing at the edge of the dance floor, her expression bitter, her eyes speaking of revenge. Graham pulled me very close, pressing me against his b*dy. The damn mate attraction worked and my b*dy reacted to his pull. I let out a soft breath of calmness. “You look beautiful tonight, Kylie,” he said, as the music slowed down.
“Thanks, Graham.” I said with a confident smile.
Chapter 6
“What did Alpha Logan talk to you about?”
Oh, so that was what he was concerned about. “Nothing much,” I shrugged. “The Golden Gate project,” I lied. Alpha Logan didn’t even mention anything about it.
“I see…” Graham continued to dance with me a little more and then left to go back to Zoe. I shook my head when he wiped her tears and k*ssed her cheek, as if trying to appease her.
I lost my appetite seeing them, and after a few minutes, I walked out of the ballroom. Why was I feeling someone’s gaze making a hole in my back? When I turned to look over my shoulder, I saw Alpha Logan staring at me intensely.
Next morning, I woke up early at 5AM, feeling tense. So I went early for my training session to loosen my tense muscles. I had called Shir. Thankfully, there was no one else there. After an intense workout of an hour, Shir said, “Luna, your mind is elsewhere.” I hadn’t been able to block several of his attacks and ended up getting bruised on my thighs and back.
I took a deep breath in. “Shir,” I whispered, leaning in closer, “there’s some you must promise not to divulge it, alright?”
incredibly important I need to tell you, but
He rubbed sweat with a hand towel as a crease formed between his brows. “Sure Luna.”
I looked around and lowered my voice. “How many pack members do we have from the Nightbloom pack in the Lunar pack?”
“About eighty.”
I nodded slowly. “I am planning to reclaim my pack. To reclaim my pack from Alpha Graham. I require your assistance. So, along with a few others, you have to carefully watch Zoe. Are we on the same page?”
Shir gave me a look of horror. “B–but Luna
“You don’t trust me, do you?” I narrowed my eyes. “You are from the Nighbloom pack and I would have been your Alpha, right?”
“I trust you implicitly, Luna Kylie,” he assured. “But this is unheard of. You might get.. killed.”
“I know,” I sighed. “But I’m trying for the best. So keep a watch.”
He remained quiet me for a long time and then said, “I will always be with you”
“Great! That means a lot.” I needed an ally, and Shir was the best I had. He was just too loyal to me, even though he kept a low profile.
Confidently I walked back to the house, where I went straight to the kitchen and poured some orange juice for myself. It was 6:30AM, and I had to get dressed quickly.
Oh, look who’s there?” I rolled my eyes at Zoe’s sharp tone. She came to stand in front of me and poured orange juice for herself. In a low–cut silk lingerie, she displayed her cleavage fully. “I didn’t know that you would turn into a whore so soon,” she said to me and sipped her juice.
Anger bubbled inside me. “Mind your language, Zoe. I’m still your Luna,” I snapped.
“What were you doing with Alpha Logan/in the room upstairs last night? Making new friends or trying to climb the social ladder?” she sneered.
