Chapter 72
Graham POV
After Zoe had called me, I was panicky. She was under so much stress that she was crying. That bastard Liam had kidnapped her as well as Kylie. I wasn’t worried about Kylie. It was Zoe that I wanted to be with. And I wanted to get her out of the Brownfur pack as soon as possible.
Alpha Logan had attacked the Brownfur pack for Kylie, and that sent me into another frenzy of panic. I was sure that once he found the two of them he was going to kill Zoe. I had to save her at all costs. So I commanded all my warriors to attack Alpha Logan’s warriors, but something strange occurred. None of the warriors in the
Nightbloom pack complied with my command. They revolted against me, saying that they were with their real Alpha, Alpha Kylie.
Dread skittered down my spine when I saw them revolting. Asher struggled to keep them under control, but the Nighbloom pack’s higher representation in the Lunar pack made it impossible. We were just outnumbered.
Frustrated as hell, I attacked Alpha Logan with my pack members. They were all taken by surprise. We were slowly winning, but then again, something unwarranted happened. Alpha Jared from the Norse pack attacked us from behind. We were sandwiched between the Nord and the Norse packs and I knew it was impossible to win. Without my wolf, I couldn’t lead my warriors so well and eventually we had to retreat.
Upon my return, I discovered that the majority of my pack’s dwellings were deserted, as Kylie’s pack had already left. It hit me hard, making me feel like I had fallen short in some aspect.
The combination of defeat and retreat ignited a fury within me, intensifying my humiliation. It all happened because of Kylie. Had she not come here and challenged me, Zoe wouldn’t have taken the fall for me.
When Asher later informed me that Alpha Logan had defeated the Brownfur pack and taken Alpha Liam captive,
‘asked, “Where is Zoe?”
Asher shook his head. “No one has seen her. We believe she is still in the dungeons of the Brownfur pack. Oh, now the name Brownfur is officially removed from usage. The name has been changed to the Nightbloom pack by Luna Kylie as a result of her pack members being relocated there.”
I clenched my teeth and let out a frustrated growl. “It has all happened because of her. I want her dead!” I took a ragged breath in and added, “Find Zoe before she falls in the hands of our enemies. She is pregnant with my pup!”
“Alpha Graham,” Asher said. “I heard that Alpha Logan will travel back to his pack today. Maybe we can attack
them?”
I narrowed my eyes. It was a good idea if all my pack members were intact. But now it seemed like a very bad idea. “No, we won’t attack them, but I have something in mind.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Along with Asher and a few of my warriors, I went to the highway from where Kylie and Logan were supposed to travel and blocked it. I needed answers.
They slowed down when they saw us. Alpha Logan and Kylie stepped out of the car, along with Ace and Katy. Some warriors got down and surrounded them for protection.
I wanted to throttle the life out of her, but I clenched my jaws to remain calm.
She came to stand in front of her car along with her husband and crossed her arms across her chest. “What do you want, Graham?” she asked with irritation.
“What do I want?” I hissed. “Where is Zoe? Give me my Zoe. She is pregnant with my pup. You can’t imprison
her!”
“Zoe has escaped,” Kylie said.
My eyes grew wide in disbelief. “Liar! Alpha Liam captured her. The two of you were in the dungeons together when she called me. How could she escape? Alpha Logan attacked the Brownfur pack and I know that you have renamed that pack as the Nightbloom pack. Are you feeling relieved now that you have your pack back and caught Zoe, too? You are such a hypocrite. When you are captured, your husband attacks other packs to free you Then why wouldn’t you free my Zoe? Liam abused her. She is fragile, helpless and pregnant.”
Kylie jerked her head back. Then her face twisted with anger. “When Zoe had that conversation with you on the phone, I was there. And Alpha Liam hadn’t captured her, he had captured me. All this was a wicked scheme of ‘Zoe. Zoe isn’t fragile or helpless! She was never abused by Alpha Liam. In fact, they both wanted to take over the
Lunar and the Nighbloom pack, and so they made a plan to trap you and I.”
“What? How conceited are you?” I shouted with a voice filled with despair. “Now that you have got your pack, your money and a mate, you are robbing me of my happiness!”
The next moment, Alpha Logan was on my throat. “How dare you speak like this with my Luna?” he growled as his muscles bulged. The bastard was too strong for me because I didn’t have my wolf. I
sputtered and coughed I struggled to release my throat from his grasp. Kylie came behind him and murmured something, after which h
left me and stepped back.
Asher held my shoulders as I gasped for breath.
Kylie took Logan back to the car and rubbed his forearm. He visibly calmed down. She turned to look at me and said, “Graham, it is your wish to believe me or not. In reality, Zoe was part of an elaborate plan with her husband to take over our packs. And this all started when my father was killed.”
I flinched upon hearing about her father. “Wh–what do you mean?” I asked in a low voice.
She glared at me for a moment. “I think you know what I mean. After all, it was you who killed my father along with her, didn’t you?”
