Contract With Alpha Logan novel Chapter 1

Kylie POV

“You are gorgeous, Zoe!” my husband said.

Not to me. To Zoe Muller.

Everyone was stealing glances at me as awkwardness blanketed the air while I watched them with stunned expression.

“You don’t look good, Luna Kylie,” Ginger said as she passed me a glass of lemonade. “Please have this.”

How could I look good? My heart shed silent tears because my husband and mate, Alpha Graham, was dancing with Zoe Muller who was his high school sweetheart and daughter of his father’s Beta.

Zoe giggled. Her eyes found me and she smirked as Graham pulled her into a tight embrace and kissed her lips, murmuring sweet nothings. It should have been me dancing with him because it was our two-year marriage anniversary, but ever since Zoe had come back in his life ten days ago, I was beginning to get dangerously sidelined. Zoe was Graham’s first love. And she had returned.

“Thanks Ginger,” I said, trying to will myself not to let tears fall out.

When Graham’s father, Alpha Johan, urged him to get married, his first choice was obviously Zoe. But she refused him at that point in time, saying that she was in love with Alpha Liam of the Brownfur pack. She broke up with Graham and went into the arms of Alpha Liam.

At that time, I had just finished college. A vivacious twenty-two-year-old me sensed Alpha Graham as my mate in a small party, which my father threw for my success. Alpha Johan was ecstatic, and so was my father.

I, Kylie Kennedy, heir of the Nightbloom pack, married my mate, Graham Silas, heir of the Lunar pack. Ever since, I helped him to grow his pack and his business. Since I was a business major, I saw every flaw in the business of the Lunar pack, rectified it and it yielded fantastic results. A year after our marriage, my father passed away, and as a result, our pack merged with the Lunar pack.

As soon as Graham became the Alpha of the Lunar pack about two months ago, after his father died, Zoe returned to him. Until then, Graham’s love for me was unconditional.

Graham's invitation to neighboring Alphas, Lunas, and Betas for our two-year anniversary was not merely a celebration, but a deliberate move to make a statement that Zoe was on his side and he was giving her importance over me.

“Goddess, I missed you so much, Graham,” Zoe said with tears in her eyes. “Now that I am here, it is difficult to stay a moment without you.” She rested her head on his chest as he stroked her back and she glanced at me.

“I want to fix this as much as you want, Zoe,” he signed.

My cheeks heated with the humiliation at his words. What was he going to fix? Clenching my jaws, I steeled myself and rose to my feet. This had to be nipped now, else this was going to become a huge issue in my life—a life I had so beautifully built for myself.

I walked to them and with a smile, said, “Well, this is going to be very hard for you, Zoe, but as you can see, Alpha Graham is my mate and husband. Unfortunately, there’s no room for a third person in this marriage. My recommendation is for you to work on resolving the issues you have with Alpha Liam.” I turned my face to Graham and added, “Isn’t that right, love?” I would not get humiliated in front of so many people.

Zoe’s mouth dropped to the floor. She let out a loud cry as tears rolled out of her eyes and then ran out of the gathering.
