Contract With Alpha Logan novel Chapter 98

Rebecca POV

Luce Norton was my close friend. Her mother liked me a lot when they had visited my pack. Two years ago, my father had hosted an ally meet in which Alpha Soren was also present. Luce and Beau had accompanied Alpha Soren and his Luna. We both gelled well, and it was then Luce told me about her brother, who would be the future Alpha of the Viking pack.

Ace Norton was the most beautiful wolf I’d ever seen. It was said that the Viking pack wolves were descendants of the Vikings and hence the name. The wolves in this pack were incredibly muscular and attractive, making it impossible for me to resist drooling. However, I had to school myself and my eyes were only on the Luna's position.

Luce gave me first-hand information about the traditional Luna choosing called “Selection” and enrolled me for the competition personally. However, she had also informed me about Katy Hanks and Ace’s interest in her.

I knew who Katy was. She was the sister of the famous Alpha Logan and his Luna, Kylie. If I didn’t do things right, I knew Katy could potentially damage my chances of winning the competition because of her family’s influence. It didn’t help that she was alpha blood and a trained warrior.

I abhorred her for all her qualities and then some more. She was like a thorn in my eye, who I wanted to get rid of asap.

When I heard Luce hadn’t invited her for the competition, I knew why. Luce feared that if Katy married Ace, Ace would undoubtedly become the Alpha of the Viking pack. After all, Katy’s family would have been a powerful alliance. And that’s where Luce’s interest clashed.

Alpha Ace had his eyes on Katy and for my plans to flow smoothly, I suggested Luce to cast a spell on Alpha Ace.

What can I say—the family was foolish enough to cast a spell on him. In fact, Luce was stupid. She was driven by her ambition to take over the Viking pack along with her chosen mate, Beau Jordon. As if I didn’t know.

Until my plans panned out, I had to keep her in my confidence. I constantly filled Luce’s ears with my thoughts, influencing the competition. After it got over, I was going to kick her out like the ass she was.

For the tour of the pack, Luce and I made sure that we sat with Alpha Ace. He was driving the jeep, looking his usual handsome self in his dark shades. I tried to converse with him, but he gave monotonous replies and that got me irritated. Anyway, my focus was to keep him away from Katy.

We stopped in a clearing in the heart of the pack’s territory where I saw that several pack members had gathered to see the potential Lunas, their excitement palpable. I stepped down from the jeep and walked to stand right next to Ace, who clearly was a towering figure of strength and leadership. I flicked my hair and plastered a smile on my face to show them I was going to be their Luna.

From the corner of my eyes, I saw Katy stepping out of the last car and standing with some lowly omega girls. When our gazes met, I snickered. I deserved to be the Luna of the Viking pack. In a show of dominance, I curled my hand around Alpha Ace’s arm and jerked my chin up. The envy on her face was so satisfying.

However, the next moment, Ace removed my hand from his arm and walked to where she was standing. He gazed at her through his shades intensely. The attention of the whole crowd fell on her, and my jealousy flared. I wanted to scratch her face, but Luce stopped me. “Not now, Rebecca,” she whispered. “We’ll punish her later.”

“This is where we gather for ceremonies,” Ace said to the other contestants who had gathered around him. “The Moon Goddess temple is close to here. We honor our ancestors and celebrate our victories.”

Clenching my fists, I walked to where Ace was and pushed the girls around him to reach him.

Suddenly, a spectator who seemed like an omega asked the contestants, “We know that most packs have hierarchy and that is why several packs don’t have very developed societies. What is your take on this?”

Ace smiled and said, “Would any of you like to answer that question?”
