Contract With Alpha Logan novel Chapter 3

Kylie POV

Over the next few days, the pains in my belly increased almost every day. The bond inside me was rotting, and I felt less and less attracted to my mate. It had a significant effect on my health. My personal maid, Ana, would bring me juices and exotic food to eat and then force me to eat it.

My mind was a mess. If I left Graham voluntarily, I was sure that he would capture me and throw me in the dungeons or worse, he could expel me from his pack and then I would be termed as a rogue.

As I pondered my options, I focused all my attention on honing my warrior skills. Exercising always brought a sense of accomplishment and a rush of adrenalin. Being an Alpha’s daughter, I was a superior warrior, but I hadn’t practiced in a long time. So when I went to the pack house and entered the warrior training grounds, wolves were surprised.

Gamma Shir was there. He bowed to me and said, “I will be your partner, Luna Kylie.” Gamma Shir was from my pack and had our packs not merged, he would have been my Beta.

Despite all the wounds I had suffered, I deftly dodged every attack from Shir. He was a fast wolf. He lunged at me and landed a flurry of punches on my face, but I stopped his punches with my forearms and kicked him in his belly, sending him flying to the ground. I heard people clapping and cheering. “Go, Luna Kylie, go!”

Shir got up and lunged at me, shifting into his wolf. I narrowed my eyes and waited. Just as he was a few feet away, I gave my skin to Coral. With a loud snarl, she met Shir in the air and slammed him to the ground, her fangs around his neck. Shir submitted to her, and she moved away.

I shifted to my human form, only to see how people were cheering. Gamma Shir was smiling. “That was impressive, Luna Kylie.”

I chuckled, feeling happy after a long time. “I will resume my training from now on,” I informed him.

“Luna Kylie,” a soft and timid voice came from behind.

I gritted my teeth.

“I know your wolf is Alpha, but it would be great if you also help me in training,” Zoe said, her hands clasped in front of her.

“No thanks,” I said and took a gown from the omega, who served all the warriors on the training ground.

Zoe sniffled. “Luna Kylie, don’t be mad at me. I want to do what Alpha Graham has asked me to do. He said that you would be the best person to train with, and so here I am.”

I cocked an eyebrow, aware of the tense silence around us. “Graham asked you?”

“Yes,” she nodded, rounding her eyes.

“But you are Beta’s daughter. You must be very well-trained.”

She down-turned her lips. “I have lost my touch… Alpha Liam used to beat me a lot and never allowed me to go for training.”

I had to marvel at her antics. Did Graham bother to question Alpha Liam about his alleged abuse towards her? I saw no wounds on her ever.

“Please, Luna Kylie. I beg of you,” she said, clasping her hands in front of her. “I know I am just a nobody, but I can’t go against Alpha’s order.”

I clenched my teeth and nodded. If Graham asked her to train with me, could I go against his order?

We stood in front of each other on the training mat. She took her position, and I took mine. As we circled each other, her intense focus made it difficult to believe she required any training. Suddenly, she lunged at me and kicked me hard on my belly. Surprised, I stumbled back. She didn’t give me a chance to recover and swung her leg over my side. I stopped her leg with my forearm and then, in a swift move, ducked and boxed her knee. She yelped as she fell down. With a fierce snarl, she launched herself into the air, aiming a punch directly at my face.

This felt like an attack, not mere training. It was as if she wanted to… kill me. I ducked, but the punch landed on my shoulder, making me hiss in pain. She grinned and then, with full force, swung her leg, aiming at my head. I dodged her, and she stumbled forward. I spun quickly and aimed to elbow the side of her face, but she turned her face and my elbow landed right on her nose. She screamed in pain as blood oozed out of her nose.

The door opened and Graham rushed in. “Zoe, Zoe!”

Tears rolled out. “Graham, she— she forced me to fight with her only to— to do this. Our baby—” she cried.
