Graham POV
With Zoe back in my arms, I breathed relief. Though it felt he“, Kylie’s absence was gnawing at my soul. The void that had formed in my heart w
not filling up. It was rotting up.
I picked up Zoe in my arms and took her to the room. She had curled her arms around my neck as she rested her head on my shoulder. I set her on her feet in the room and said, “Take a bath and then we’ll talk about what to
do next p>
She smiled through her tears and nodded. “I love you, Alpha Graham p>
I wanted to say the same to her, but I refrained because suddenly I realized I didn’t love her. Now, I needed her to give birth to my pup. I needed this heir badly because only my heir would consolidate my position in my pack.
Zoe returned after taking a bath, wrapped in a towel. As she lay down next to me, I didn’t immediately have s*x with her, even though she presented herself to me. All I did was to sleep beside her. We didn’t discuss our future plans at all. Kylie had threatened me she would expose my crime. What could I do to stop her from doing it? She had no evidence, and I was sure that she wouldn’t file a case against me in the Head Council. In the meantime, had to keep Zoe’s presence a secret. If my enemy came to know about her, they would do anything to take her away. I wondered if I should mark her?
The next day when I was in the office, contemplating my next move, Zoe came. “Alpha Graham, can I talk to you in private p>
I gestured Asher to leave. As soon as he left and closed the door behind him, Zoe sat at the table and said, “Alpha Graham, can you give me ten thousand dollars p>
I frowned. “Why?” –
She fidgeted with her fingers and looked away. “Kylie and Alpha Logan are after me. Alpha Logan’thinks it was me who had kidnapped Kylie, but-” she shook her head as tears rolled out of her eyes. “I didn’t do it. It was Alpha Liam who captured both of us. Remember, I called you about it p>
I nodded. “How did you get a mobile to call from the dungeons?” I asked.
Her face fell flat for a moment. She recovered immediately and said, “We weren’t in the dungeons. Alpha Liam
had lodged us in a guest room. A guard lent it to me for only a few minutes.” She quickly changed the subject. “So, will you give me money p>
“You didn’t state the purpose p>
She took a deep breath in. “I want to stay hidden in the human world for a few days until this chaos is over p>
I narrowed my eyes at her. She wanted to run away? Had it been Kylie, she would have stayed with me to handle the chaos. “I’m sorry, Zoe,” I said. “You will remain in my house and won’t be allowed to step outside it until you’ve given birth to my pup p>
Her mouth fell to the floor. “But, Alpha Graham p>
“There won’t be any more discussion on this. You may leave!” I growled.
She sniffled. “You’ve changed p>
Suddenly, the door opened and Asher walked in with a paper in his hand. He looked like he had seen a ghost. “You have to see this!” he said and placed the paper in front of me p>
I picked it up to read, and the blood drained from my face. It was a copy of the case that Kylie had fil me, Zoe, and Alpha Liam in the Head Council for the murder of her father. “F**k!” I rasped.

“What’s wrong, Alpha Graham?” Zoe asked. I slipped the paper towards her. When she read it, she paled. “It is it is p>
“It is what it is!” I said as I rubbed my face with my hands. “But why does it have Alpha Liam’s name also?” I asked.
Zoe clenched her teeth. “I–I don’t know!” she blabbered. “Maybe she wants to exact revenge on him!” She put the paper back on the table. “Alpha Graham, let’s just run away. This is bad news p>
“No!” I shouted. “If we run, it will look like we have committed the crime. The Head Council will send its hounds to sniff us and get us back. Kylie doesn’t have any evidence and so we will face this together p>
“But Alpha Graham-” Zoe whined. She seemed a lot more panicky than I could understand.
“That’s it!” I slapped the table. She has no evidence. Kylie is doing this just to avenge us. She is jealous and still can’t stop thinking about me. Once our innocence is established, she will bear the consequences of the council.

And as for us-” I chuckled. “I will marry you and induct you officially in my pack p>
“Oh!” Zoe exclaimed, looking happy for the first time.
I turned to look at Asher. “When do we have to go to the Head Council?” I asked.
“Next week p>
“Great. Until then, let’s just rest and focus on the pack. And let Kylie do whatever she wants.” I relaxed and sat back in the chair. Kylie was so going to lose this.
I had to keep Zoe’s presence a secret for a week before we went to the Head Council and so I barred her from meeting anyone and also coming out of our room. I assigned only one maid for her who was taking care of her. In that one week, she simply rested and ate and offered herself several times to me. At least, now I was feeling better. I had heard nothing from my spies about Kylie’s movements, and so I was sure that she could not gather any evidence against us.
I felt a major confidence boost. Kylie was a fool. Just to avenge me, she had filed a case. She was going to fall flat on her face and I couldn’t wait to see that. Once we will be acquitted, I was going to sue her for framing me in a fake case and then I would demand hefty money in compensation. One that would make Alpha Logan a pauper.
