Kylie POV
To say that I was excited was an understatement. I got ready in a record of twenty minutes. As I collected my hair up to secure a scrunchie, I walked to the desk where all my documents were. Everything was placed nicely and in a folder. My lips curled up because I knew it was Alpha Logan who did it.
He was downstairs talking to some of his wolves, who he wanted to accompany. Katy had already declared that she was going to go with me and that’s why Beta Ace had to go with us. I rushed downstairs with a bag that had all my documents.
Alpha Logan’s face beamed when he looked at me. I hurried to him and, as if on instinct, he enveloped me in his arms. Kissing the crown of my head, he said, “Ready?” I nodded as his gaze roamed to the tape that was on my forehead. The injury that Graham had given was still healing. A muscle feathered in his jaw and his eyes darkened.
“We are getting late!” Katy rushed her. I chuckled because I remembered what she said to me in the morning during breakfast. “I can’t wait to see you marry my brother p>
Alpha Logan released a rough exhale and, holding my hand, walked to where our cars were on the porch.
We went over the documents thoroughly, looking for a loophole or anything we might have missed, but everything was prim and proper. “I hope the Head Council listens to me before giving their verdict,” I said.
“I’m sure they will,” he replied, squeezing my hand.
“If this verdict passes, it is going to give hope to so many abused women,” I said, scratching my shoulder. It was itching so badly.
He replied, “Not only that-” Suddenly the car screeched to a halt. “What’s wrong?” he growled at the driver.
“Beta Ace asked all of us to stop,” he said, looking behind at the caravan of six cars with us.
From the corner of my vision, I saw Beta Ace running towards our car. We had stopped in the middle of nowhere on the highway that led to the Head Council. On one side there were vast plains that sloped up into hills, and on the other side was a deep valley.

Alpha Logan pulled down the glass. “What happened, Ace?” he asked, his brows drawn into a slash.
“My spies informed me that there is a large group of rogues waiting to ambush us,” he said, his chest rising and falling.
Alpha Logan’s eyes widened in complete shock. “Rogues in a large group? That’s ridiculous. And why are they waiting to ambush us p>
I, too, was taken aback. It made little sense. My stomach knotted. This was absolutely crazy. Who were these rogues and why were they standing in our way? If we got late for the hearing of our case, I would lose my last chance at freedom.
In a split second, Alpha Logan got out of the car. “I am shifting and taking Kylie with me. You come with me, along with Katy p>
“What about the rest of our warriors?” he asked.
“All of them are coming with us. What is the point of information from our spies if we don’t use it to our advantage? We’ll have to take a shortcut to the council. Just park the cars on the side p>
Everything was done so swiftly that within the next fifteen minutes, we were traversing our way towards the council through the plains and forests. I sat on Alpha Logan’s wolf while Katy sat on Ace’s wolf. She wanted to run in her wolf form, but Ace growled at her and forced her to mount him. Our warriors followed us closely.
It wasn’t a surprise that in wolf forms we reached earlier than the scheduled time. Alpha Logan and the other wolves ran inside to the room to shift and wear clothes after I dismounted him.
However, what I saw there was absolutely unexpected. A substantial number of Alphas and Lunas were gathered outside the council’s building.
As Katy came to stand beside me, she said, “How come we have so much audience? Don’t tell me they all have heard the rumor p>
I saw that a lot of Lunas had gathered and were already talking amongst themselves. Then there was a group who were Lunas and Alphas who were at the far end and were in a heated conversation. I knew some of the Lunas and Alphas, having met them at several parties. They stole glances at me, some filled with pity, some with humor and some with hope.
My eyes searched for one wolf who mattered. And I found him. He was standing with Zoe next to him, his face

murderous when our eyes met. When my gaze shifted to Zoe, I saw a funny expression on her face. Like she had
seen a ghost instead of me.
Suddenly, one of the Lunas came rushing to me. She was timid and wore a long-sleeved shirt with trousers. Hiding behind glasses, she looked so pale that my heart went out for her. She smiled nervously, looking behind her as if scared. “Luna Kylie, I am Luna Jean from the Cobalt pack. Your case has become so popular that we all are here to listen to the final verdict p>
My heart thundered in my chest. Everyone knew? Oh, my goddess.
She pointed at the Alphas and the Lunas. “We were all called by Alpha Graham. He wants to make it an example. While most of the Alphas are with him, most of the Lunas are with you. This is going to be a momentary decision, Luna Kylie. My best wishes to you!” Saying that she hugged me and hurriedly went away. I stared after her back,
bamboozled.
“Wow! The nerve of this bas ta r d!” Katy growled, looking at Graham, “And see how that bitc h is standing right
next to him p>
Realization hit me. He wanted to humiliate me in front of everyone. And I knew that if the decision came against me, he was going to drag me back to his pack. A shudder ran down my body and I broke in a cold sweat.
“Kylie!” Katy grabbed my upper arm. “Stop shaking. This is all a ploy to make you nervous p>
I clenched my teeth to stop myself. “Where’s Alpha Logan p>
“He has gone straight inside after changing. He can’t come to you, but he will sit next to you as your counsel. How else do you think he could stay with you p>
“Oh!” I rasped, surprise splashing over me. I didn’t know that. I thought I would fight my case. “And you and Ace must be his assistants?” I asked. She shrugged, and I giggled as warmth spread in my chest.
An announcement on the speaker sounded. “Only those who are fighting the case will enter the supreme. Council Hall. Others can see it happening on the screen in the main hall that is on the first floor. I advise you all to move to the first floor while the petitioner and respondent will come straight to the Council Hall p>
A murmur started as some Lunas looked at me before leaving the place. Along with Katy, I walked to the Council Hall where I saw that all the Elders were seated. Right in the middle was Elder Lester Hanks. He stared at me for a moment, pushed his glasses up and went back to reading his papers.

I went to sit along with Alpha Logan, Beta Ace and Katy. My head turned to the left to see that Graham was sitting with Asher, Graham’s sour demeanor was evident from the scowl on his face. I stifled a laugh because it seemed. Zoe wasn’t allowed to come.
Elder Lester Hanks started. “You want to separate from your mate and husband, Alpha Graham Silas p>
“Yes, Elder Hanks,” I replied.
Then he asked Graham, “Do you agree to this separation p>
“Absolutely not!” he exclaimed. “I want her back p>
