Chapter 68
Zoe POV
My mouth dropped open in shock as I blinked in shock staring at Beta Nico. “What are you saying?” I rasped. “How is this possible?”
Beta Nico was pretty shaken up. “I don’t know Luna Zoe,” he said with a hint of irritation. “I think you led him to our pack.”
“Me?” I snapped my head at Liam who narrowed his eyes at me. “Your Beta is talking bullshit! Why will I lead Alpha Logan to us?”
Kylie interjected, “You tried to seduce Alpha Logan when he visited the Lunar pack. I saw how you went to his room in nothing but a bikini top and cut–off shorts. He later told me you told him how much better you are in bed as compared to me.”
“You bloody slut!” Alpha Liam hissed.
If I was shocked by what Nico had just said, Kylie’s words brought a different terror to my chest. Liam doubted me uselessly. “Liam, I went there to stop him from taking Kylie! Why don’t you understand she is creating animosity between us?”
Liam stepped forward and slapped me again on the face. I screamed as I fell on the floor, sliding to hit the table behind me. “Ahhh!” I cried as my forehead hit the corner and blood oozed out. Stars burst into my vision and before I could get up, Liam was throttling my neck.
“Bloody whore! I knew I was never enough for you. Why did you go to seduce Alpha Logan?” he said through clenched teeth.
I caught his wrist to remove his hand from my neck, but he was too strong for me. “Liam,” I sputtered as I struggled to breathe. “It… It was all part of the plan.”
“Alpha Liam!” Nico shouted and pulled him back.
Crawling and gasping for air, I struggled to get back on my feet. I had crafted such a beautiful plan to get three packs under us, along with Liam, but Liam doubted me. I sat on my knees and said to him, “For the last two years, we’ve been working in tandem. This is our chance. Let’s not allow jealousy to ruin our efforts. We are so close to achieving what we always wanted.”
For the last two years, ever since Kylie was married to Graham, I had only one thing in mind–how to get the Lunar and the Nightbloom pack under us. When Graham proposed to me, I believed I would marry him. However, during a casual visit with my friend to the Brownfur pack, I unexpectedly found my mate, Liam. It was natural that I married him.
Graham also found his mate and married her. However, when I came to know that Kylie was the only heir of the Nightbloom pack and that after her marriage, her pack would be merged with Graham’s pack, an idea cropped up. Along with Liam, I went to a witch to buy a love spell and use it on Graham to seduce him, but he fell for me when I gave him a sob story.
I thought Kylie would be submissive, but she came out to be a strong Luna. Ripped with jealousy, I entered their marriage, and the rest was history. I was sure that eventually Graham would throw her in the dungeons, and I’ll get the pack easily, but the bitc*h cleverly escaped. Not only that, she got the Head Council to pass a law for herself and married Alpha Logan.
When she came to take her pack back, I slyly lured her out of the pack’s territory and into my own.
And now she was scheming again.
“Please Liam,” I breathed as I got up. “This is not the time to be angry. I do not know how Alpha Logan is here, but we have to combat him.”
“How are we going to do that?” he hissed. “Our pack is outnumbered by the vast amount of warriors he has.”
“I’ll call Graham and ask him to help us!” I suggested.
“How are you going to do that?” Liam asked. “You have returned to the Brownfur pack!”
“Wait and watch!” I said, as I took my phone out and dialed Graham’s number.
He picked the phone on the first ring. “Zoe, where are you? Fuck, girl! I’ve been searching for you everywhere.
And what about Kylie? Have you killed her?”
I rolled my eyes, but I had to play my part. “Graham!” I said in a timid voice. “She tried to kill me. I led her away from your pack but-” I sobbed.
“But what?” Graham shouted in panic.
“But now Alpha Liam has imprisoned both of us.”
I could tell he froze because of the pause in his voice. “Can you save me?” I cried.
“I am coming, baby!” he rasped. “I’ll be right there.”
Suddenly Kylie shouted, “She is wrong, Graham! Zoe has held me captive!”
I signaled to Beta Nico, who rushed to her and slammed his hand on her mouth. “Shut up!” he hissed.
“Is that Kylie?” Graham asked, surprised.
“Yes, we both are held captives by Alpha Liam. But Graham, I heard that Alpha Logan has attacked the Brownfur pack. He will kill me for sure when he overtakes this pack. Please save me,” I started crying.
“Don’t cry, Zoe!” Graham rasped. “This is all because of that bit*ch, Kylie. I will attack Alpha Logan’s warriors from behind. I’ll be there in less than an hour, okay? Then I’ll kill Liam and take you from there. But before that, I’ll kill Kylie!”
“Okay… I love you!” I disconnected the call and looked at my husband smugly. Wiping my fake tears, I said, “See, that was easy? Alpha Logan won’t even know what hit him from behind. And when Graham comes here to save me, kill him. We’ll emerge victorious.”
“What are we going to do with her?” he asked, jerking his head towards Kylie.
“We will use her as a bargaining chip, my dear hubby. She will be our trump card in case things go wrong.”
For the first time, Liam’s lips lifted into a smile. He came to me and kis*sed me on my lips. “Sorry, I doubted you, Zoe. Come on, we have to kill people.”
I chuckled against his mouth, feeling happy. Before leaving, I looked at Kylie and winked at her. She just glared at
me as I closed the door. I instructed guards to not allow her to leave the room until further orders.
When we came out, I saw everyone was running helter–skelter. Warriors were shouting to go to the borders where Alpha Logan had attacked. Goddess, how much I hated that wolf. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“He has breached our west perimeter!” said Nico. “I am going there, but Alpha Liam, go to the north, towards the main gate. That’s where most of the fight is taking place.”
I said, “I’ll join you!” Both Liam and I shifted into our wolves and ran towards the main gate.
The area was chaotic. There were so many warriors from the Nord pack that I was aghast. We had to stall them until Graham attacked them from behind. Our warriors were falling, one by one. There was no sign of Alpha Logan. I wished he hadn’t entered the main pack. I mind–linked Liam and said, ‘Do you see Alpha Logan?‘
‘No,‘ he replied as he sank his fangs into a werewolf. ‘But I heard he killed ten of my wolves before running towards the west.‘
‘Go to the west, Liam!‘ I shouted. ‘He might be rushing to save Kylie!‘
Twenty minutes after Liam left, a warrior informed me that Alpha Graham and his warriors had attacked the Nord pack from behind. Victory was right there. All I had to do was wait for Graham to defeat the Nords and reach me. Then I would kill him easily because he was wolf–less.
