Contract With Alpha Logan by Misha K
Chapter 33

Kylie POV

Since Zoe had declared that she was unfit for going out the next day, I went on my own. Shir and Fenris also couldn’t accompany me because Graham had asked them to take care of Zoe, which, according to him, was my punishment, but I knew more than that. He was showing me that his men would rather give importance to his mistress than to me.

As the evening drew closer, my nervousness increased. The Elders hadn’t cleared the papers as yet. I was sure that Graham was going to drag me back and this time he was so pissed at me that things would go spiraling down.

Shir informed me Graham had come at 6PM and that he was staying in nice accommodation in a hotel. He didn’t call me once, but he immediately shifted Zoe to his room. Both Shir and Fenris were on guard duty in the hotel. They were to accompany Zoe if she wanted to go out and I heard that she had gone shopping. I should have been used to Graham’s apathy, but because of the damn bond, I felt miserable and I ended up crying at least twice. Maybe my crying was associated with the impending future I was about to get plunged in.

Alpha Logan didn’t come to see me the whole day, and I knew the reason. He didn’t want people to gossip about me and him, especially when Grahamn was in the pack. It would be a lie to say that I didn’t miss him and that I hoped he was here. His hot and cold attitude towards me was fraying my nerves.

you more I wished Coral was here. I reached for her inside. “Coral, you responded to me once. Please come back. I need than I needed you ever. I know you receded because of what Alpha Graham did to us, but I am alone without you. You may take your time to heal. You’ll replace me here when you are back and I am not giving up on you.‘ I sat there for a long time, feeling the pain.

Katy came to see me just an hour before the ball. “Hey, why are you dressed up?” she asked, bewildered, as she switched on the lights of my room. She gasped when she saw my face. “Oh, my God!” She came to me and hugged me. “Why are you crying? Kylie, please don’t cry!”

I lost all control I had on me and sobbed. “Katy, this is going so badly. What should I do?”

“Nothing is going bad!” she assured me, but her words felt hollow. She stroked my back until I stopped crying. Then she cupped my cheeks and said, “Get ready, girl. Brother is coming to escort you to the ball.”

My brows furrowed. “Alpha Logan? Why?” That was the last I expected.

“Well, just get ready. It is important that you go with him.”

I couldn’t understand, but I suddenly felt excited. “Did he say that to you or you are assuming?”

She chuckled. “He said that.”

Motivation to get dressed for him surged through me. Katy grinned and hugged me tightly. “Get dressed fast! He’ll be here in an hour.”

As soon as she left, I couldn’t help but giggle. I ran to the bathroom and washed my face. If this was my last evening with him, then I was going to make it great. I wore the maroon dress Katy had insisted I buy for the ball. Instead of pinning my hair, I left them cascading down my waist. I picked up the deepest shade of maroon lipstick and applied it on my lips and then went on to strap the leather of my high heel nude gladiators.

When I came out of the room, I noticed that Alpha Logan’s room was closed. There was complete silence and so I assumed. he had already left. Katy was wrong. Why would Alpha Logan accompany me? Going to the party all alone was a nightmare. I didn’t want to face Graham and Zoe and get humiliated all over again. Dread ran down my spine. My hands turned clammy as I climbed down the stairs,

The ballroom was on the west side of the manor. I had to cross the garden to reach there. As soon as I stepped out, chilly air

enveloped me. My eyes landed on the stairs of the ballroom. People milled around there, excited and chirpy. For a minute, I had this urge to go back to my room. Suddenly, a warm arm embraced my waist, and I closed my eyes as warmth flooded my chest, dispelling my anxiety.

“I’m sorry, Kylie,” Alpha Logan said. “I wanted to be with you all the time, but I didn’t want to give Graham a chance to make

a show.”

I chuckled and blinked away the tears. He kissed my temple and said, “Come, let’s give them a show.” He gave me his arm. As soon as I curled my arm around his, he tugged me to the ballroom. “And you look beautiful!” In a black tailored suit and hair. combed, he looked like he was walking out of a fashion magazine.

It was a show. Everyone looked at Alpha Logan and me and then at our joined arms as we entered the ballroom. They all bowed to him, parting ways for us to walk. Soft music started flowing.

Murmurs broke around me as to how beautiful we looked as a couple. At the same time, whispers circulated about how quickly I had found myself in Alpha Logan’s bed, causing some to snicker.

My eyes landed on Graham, who was glaring at me. My heart plummeted in my stomach.

But it wasn’t their anger that had me. It was what Zoe was wearing. She was wearing a white bridal dress, and I suppressed a laugh. She was looking like a clown. Did she buy this at the market?

When’I looked at Katy, she just grinned at me and winked. What was the invitation she sent to Graham?

Several pack members gathered around us and Alpha Logan. Shir came to my side and said, “Alpha Graham wants to speak with you.”

“Okay!” I breathed. When I went to Graham, he clearly looked furious. “Kylie,” he said in a tight voice.

“Graham,” I tipped my chin down.

“How dare you enter the ballroom with him?” he hissed. “Did you try to insult me?”

I looked back at Alpha Logan and found him staring at me. Then I turned to Graham and said, “I came with him because my husband had someone else to accompany him.”

He shot his hand towards me and grabbed my upper arm painfully. “Come with me!” he growled and dragged me out of the ballroom. A tremor of shock passed through me.

“What are you doing?” I asked, embarrassed as hell. As I turned my head over my shoulder, I caught sight of Zoe smirking with an evil glint in her eyes.

“I am doing what I should have done long back!” He hissed and dragged me to the omega’s room where Zoe was staying

earlier.
