Chapter 20
Logan POV
My chest felt like it was being hit by a tsunami of anger when I saw Kylie embracing Shir. A growl so loud escaped my throat that the windows and doors started shaking. As my claws slipped out, I clenched my hands into tight fists, feeling the painful sensation of my claws digging into my palm.
“What is going on?” I asked, glaring at Shir and then at Fenris. Both of them jumped out of their skin at my roar. How could my mate hug a gamma from her pack? She was unmarked, stunning, gorgeous, delicate; mesmerizing… and I had already seen that several Alphas and Betas crowded her in the last ball just to befriend her. I was sure that Shir was also trying to woo her.
“Alpha Logan.” Shir practically rasped. He looked nervously towards Kylie and said, “We were just talking about Luna Kylie’s next strategies.”
“By hugging her?” I spat, stalking closer, ready to kill him any time.
Shir moved away from her and gave me a bewildered look.
Before I could murder him, Kylie intervened, “Alpha Logan, Shir and Fenris are mates. They’ve just marked each other. There’s no need to be so upset.”
I was stumped. All my anger vanished immediately and my b*dy relaxed. But still they were men and my wolf didn’t like men around her. I walked closer to her and grabbed her waist, pulling her next to me on an impulse. While she blushed, Fenris and Shir’s mouths dropped as surprise washed over them. Their eyes flickered back and forth between her and me. She pressed her hands against my chest as if trying to push me, but her feeble attempts to go away from me were useless as I tightened my hold on her waist and stood there to show the two wolves that she was mine.
Shir coughed to suppress his chuckle. “I think now you have to tell me what is going on, Luna Kylie.”
I raised my eyebrow as I turned my face to her. Though I couldn’t reveal that she was my mate, did she not tell them about. the contract she signed? That practically made her my woman.
She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear as her eyes lifted to me. I gave her a questioning look. She took a deep breath and gave Shir a sheepish look. “I have signed a contract to be Alpha Logan’s Luna for a year after breaking ties with Alpha
Graham.
For the second time, their mouths dropped as I looked proudly at them with a smug smile. Yes, she belonged to me.
“But boys,” Kylie added. “Anything discussed within these walls will be kept confidential. I hope you understand.”
At first, Shir darted a nervous look at Fenris, and then he shot a look at me. “I’d like to know more details,” he replied with a smile that clearly said that he liked the idea.
“Yes, we both would like to know about it,” Fenris added, crossing his arms across his chest, grinning at us. “Honestly, this news is so good that I feel like celebrating!”
Kylie burst into a laughter and I turned my head to admire her beautiful face while her laughter echoed through the room like temple bells. “You know, you should laugh more,” I said in a low, husky voice. “It looks good on you.”
“OMG!” a voice from the door startled us. “What the hell!” It was my sister who came into the room with eyes wide like saucers. Her gaze went to where I was holding Kylie and her mouth dropped, too. “Care to tell me about this situation?” she said, waving her hand towards us.
I rolled my eyes at her dramatics. Kylie giggled. “It’s nothing much,” she said to her.
1/2
“Really?” Katy grabbed her hand and pulled her away from me. I loved my sister, but I absolutely hated this. Still, I gritted my teeth and let her take Kylie from me. They both sat on the couch while Shir and Fenris sat opposite to them.
Out of nowhere, my Beta, Ace, walked in too. Ace bowed to me and exchanged a glance with Katy. It was odd to see that she stiffened. “Alpha, there’s an important call from the Alpha of the Norse Pack. He wants to speak with you urgently.”
My brows furrowed. The Norse pack, near the Brownfur pack, was ruled by my cousin, Alpha Jared. “I’ll call him back in an hour,” I said, not wanting to leave my mate in the company of two wolves.
“Sure,” Ace said, just standing there, taking up the whole doorway.
Great. Now all of them were going to know the secret. I hoped Kylie didn’t feel uncomfortable sharing it with them.
“So, tell me about it,” Katy chirped.
Kylie blushed again like a beautiful red rose and if these people weren’t here, I would have whisked her away somewhere to steal a k*ss. She explained to them about the so–called situation and, at the end of it, Katy was almost jumping. “I knew it! I f**king knew it!” she exclaimed.
I was surprised because all the time I thought she would kill me if I approached Kylie at college.
“Goddess! I am so happy!” she giggled. “Finally, my vagabond brother wants to settle, and who can be better than you?” She squealed and hugged Kylie tightly.
Kylie gave her bestie a big hug, and it made my heart feel warm to see the two most cherished women in my life together. Kylie looked so happy that I wanted to freeze this moment forever.
For t
the next half an hour, they excitedly talked and made a vow to keep the contract a secret.
Katy’s phone buzzed, and she rushed out with Ace following her. Fenris and Shir also went away to the guest rooms. This time when Fenris tried to hug Kylie, I glared at him so hard that he clenched his fists and bowed to her with a tight–lipped
smile. Better.
Once they had all left, she asked, “Alpha Logan, what was your real reason for visiting me? I know you’re supposed to be in your office now.”
“Kylie,” I said in all seriousness. “I wanted to ask you about something for a long time, but I was waiting for the right
moment.”
She gulped. “Sure.”
“Why can’t my wolf, sense your wolf?”
Kylie froze.
