Chapter 55
Kylie POV
The doctor was attending a g a m m a warrior with multiple injuries. The rogues had slashed his torso, and he was hyperventilating. In contrast, Zoe simply had a tiny wound on her forehead, which was now healing.
“Please, Alpha Graham,” the doctor insisted as he pressed a cloth to the warrior’s torso to stop bleeding. “I have to treat him first, else infection will set in.”
Graham snapped, “My woman is pregnant with my pup and she is injured. You better treat her or I am going to f c k i n g kill you!”
“Alpha Graham,” I retorted. “The warrior’s condition is worse than Zoe’s. She is already healing, but this warrior needs more attention. I hardly see any other bruises on Zoe.” Heck, I had more bruises than her.
“You don’t understand,” Graham shouted. “She is not conscious. She was a victim of this rogue attack.” My eyes went to her. She had opened her eyes partially. “She looks fine. Besides, how can you say she was a victim of the rogue attack? There’s hardly any scratch on her. Where was she when the rogues attacked? Because I didn’t see her anywhere. But Katy saw her sprinting to the back of the building. Did she abandon you?” From the periphery of my vision, I saw some Alphas, Lunas and g a m m a warriors had gathered around us.
Graham’s eyes widened for a second in confusion and then, gritting his teeth, he said, “I don’t want to argue with you. You are just jealous of her. This situation is all your fault because you were dumb, stubborn, and full of yourself. Had you not stirred up this drama of getting separated from me, everyone would have been fine!” He glanced at Alpha Logan and said, “Who knows if he planned this rogue attack?”
I flinched. Graham was accusing him of the rogue attack. I tried to speak, but Alpha Logan beat me to it. “Alpha Graham, if you are saying that I planned this attack, then do you have proof of it?”
Graham looked away, still grinding his teeth.
Alpha Logan continued, “We are standing on the premises of the Elder Head Council and you are defaming me here. Unless you have a proof that I am behind this attack, then I would suggest that you shut the f u c k up else am going to slap another case on you right now for defamation. And you can k*ss goodbye to your fg freedom! Also, don’t you ck in g say a word about my mate! She was forced to take this route only because you pushed her to the edge. But guess what? I am so glad that you drove her away from you. Now she’s mine!”

Graham stared at him with barely controlled rage and I sensed regret all over again. He was about to snap, but at that moment Zoe chose to wake up. “Alpha Graham,” she cried.
“Zoe!” He set her on her feet. She s t a g e r e d a little and clutched his torso as if she’d fall. He wrapped his arms around her. “Are you okay?”
She nodded. Licking her lips, she said in a feeble voice, “I’m fine. Please don’t worry so much about me. I wanted to take part in the battle, but I protected our pup.” Her eyes filled with tears. “How’s your mate? I was so worried about Luna Kylie.”
I stopped the urge to roll my eyes. How did she manage to get tears on demand?
Graham shook his head and k*ssed her. “You are always so concerned about others.” He picked her up in his arms, and after giving me a dirty glare, walked away.
“Huh? That was convenient!” Katy remarked. “After defaming my brother, he just walked away with his lover? B a s t a r d! Can I go and kill him? And that white lotus bitc h! I am extremely sure she’s the one who must have arranged for this rogue attack.” Her claws elongated, and she started going after him.
Ace hurried behind her and grabbed her by her waist. “Katy!” he scolded her. “You are coming with me. Elder Hanks has his SUV parked outside!”
Katy’s remark left me stunned. I don’t know why, but I was also suspecting the same. However, there was no proof. She could have run away to protect her unborn pup.
The people around us began whispering and discussing the situation as they dispersed.
Alpha Logan took my hand in his and muttered, “Let’s get out of here. I’m sure that my grandfather is fuming at
the moment.”
We all went outside the premises and as I walked, I saw several slain rogue wolves amongs t a f e w g am ma warriors that belonged to the Head Council as well. My heart went out for them. The Head Council selected these exceptional warriors from each pack after rigorous training.
Elder Lester Hanks was standing by the door, looking like he could burst any time. “What took you so long?” he growled at Alpha Logan. “Couldn’t you keep the future Luna of the pack safe? She’s bleeding, and she needs treatment right away!”
My cheeks flushed as Alpha Logan looked sheepishly at him. “I had an argument with Alpha Graham.”

“Dam n it!” Elder Hanks snapped. He turned to me and his expressions softened immediately, the wrinkles on his face relaxing. “Kylie, I am so sorry about my grandson. Please sit in the car. I want to take you safely away from here. This place will be renovated, and you are banned from entering here until further notice.”
I chuckled. Like grandfather, like grandson. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Both of them had strong protective instincts about their family. A warm feeling surged through my chest. I sat inside as everyone else started filling the SUV. Alpha Logan was in the driver’s seat. As we drove, Elder Hanks said, “If you don’t buy a helicopter this week, I am going to buy it myself. Then don’t come crying about the model. I don’t like Kylie going around on long journeys like this on the road!”
I stifled my laughter, but Katy burst out laughing while Alpha Logan shook his head. “I’ll buy it this week,” Alpha Logan said.
How much money did these guys exactly have?
“You better buy two!” Elder Hanks said. “I’m old and I can’t ride these SUVs!”
“Yay!” Katy squealed. “Brother, how about we buy an aircraft instead?”
The conversation turned into an argument about what to buy. Ace watched Katy all the while with a shine in his eyes and a silly smile. I really had to ask Katy about him.
“When are you marrying her?” Elder Hanks’ question came out of nowhere, quieting everyone.
“Tomorrow?” Alpha Logan answered.
“No, you will marry her after two moons. That’s when the full moon is,” Elder Hanks said in a firm voice.
“That’s a great idea, gramps!” Katy exclaimed. “We all need time to buy dresses for the wedding. I have to prepare extensively for it and buy Kylie a wedding dress!” She gave me a disapproving look. “You are covered in blood. Blech! Please heal before the wedding.”
And just like that, the whole conversation turned witty. I relaxed and sat back, feeling wonderful. This was what a normal family looked like. My thoughts went back to my father, and I promised him silently that I would do everything to get my pack back. My pack members deserved a lovely life, just like mine. Alpha Logan picked me up in his arms and carried me upstairs to our room.
“I can’t wait for two days, Kylie,” he said, as he kicked the door close with his boots.
