Contract With Alpha Logan

Chapter 91 Katy POV The garden was transformed into a magical venue. There were lanterns and fairy lights strung among the branches of the trees, casting a warm glow on the people beneath them. Soft music played in the background as a gentle breeze ruffled my dark hair which I had left open. Right in the center of the garden was a spacious dance floor. It was surrounded by tables draped in a fine fabric with candles and flowers adorning the centers. Soft laughter and chatter filled the space. I noticed an omega with a tray of wine and picked up a glass. As I sipped my wine, I scanned the guests and my eyes landed on a beautifully decorated arch under which the king and queen were standing along with Ace and one other man, who I assumed was Luce's husband-the wolf who would get the position of Alpha if Ace gave it up.

Ace and Luce had a strong resemblance. Since I had already seen her in pictures shown by Ace, I could recognize her immediately. It was apparent that she had sentthe wrong invite because of the way she looked surprised at seeing me. Two things were clear. One, Luce was aware that I was Ace's mate, otherwise she wouldn't have misguidedwith the help of an omega. I wondered if it was Luce who had omittedfrom the invitation list. And two, her husband was involved in it with her..

Both were consumed by ambition. They were willing to betray even their own kin in their quest to rule the Viking pack. It was appalling, but after what Kylie had gone through, my experience with such people had enriched.

My eyes locked with Ace's and excitement buzzed through me. His I*ps curled up, but he didn't ctowards me. There were about a dozen girls milling in front of him, each vying for his attention, which madejealous. "Hi!" A soft voice besidebroke my reverie. I turned to find a tall and lanky girl looking atwith curiosity.

"Hi!" She gave a soft smile. "I know you. You are Alpha Logan's sister and Luna Kylie's sister-in-law." I shrugged, smiling back at her proudly.

"I'm Alicia Carter, daughter of the New Moon pack's Alpha. She extended her hand to me. As we shook hands, she remarked, “I've heard so much about Luna Kylie. Because of her, my father had to do away with two of his mistresses!" She laughed and I couldn't help but laugh with her. “It's great to have someone rational to talk to here." "I am lost here," I said to her. "Why?" 1/3 Alicia sighed. "The girls out here are so damn mean it's suffocating. I seriously don't want to be a part of this Selection. I already have a mate but my father pushedto chere. Well, I'll just get eliminated in the first round!" She pointed to the group of girls standing in front of Ace. "That is the meanest group. Be aware of them. They will do anything to win this competition!" She jerked her chin to a girl in the center of that group. "And that's Rebecca-queen's favorite and Luce's best friend. The queen is going to make sure that she wins!" I was about to say something when the emcee of the ceremony announced, "Ladies, ladies and ladies! We welcyou to the Bride Selection for the Alpha of the Viking pack. Tonight, our future Alpha, Ace Norton, will dance with all the contestants one by one. You have to dance with him and then introduce yourself. The groom will choose the first girl to dance with." Excitement was palpable after the announcement as everyone clapped. All the girls looked at Ace with anticipation. Disregarding everyone, Ace walked straight to me.

My heart raced like a hummingbird as I watched him walking towith predator intensity. I heard a soft squeak from Alicia. She giggled when Ace extended his hand to me. As soon as I placed my hand on his, he pulledto his chest. I gasped, planting my hand on his chest to balance myself. Ace grasped my waist and ledto the dance floor.

The music started, and we started dancing. Our steps together were more like dialogues without words. Our dance was like an unspoken bond that was tying us together. I was so focused on him, I didn't look elsewhere.

The music cto an abrupt halt, and we both snapped back to reality. My cheeks heated when I saw the king and queen staring at me.

Ace held my hand and tookto his parents, where I introduced myself. His father welcomedwarmly, but his mother and sister were stoic. His sister said, "I don't remember your non the list, Katy. Did you chere by mistake? I hope you haven't lost your way." Sgirls around us snickered, others stifled laughter.

I felt Ace's anger through our bond. Before he could speak, I said, "Thanks for your excellent hospitality, Luce. Plus, I'm here because I got an invitation and my name's on your list. You might wanna take a look at your memory. Anyway, did I miss the part where insulting guests beca sign of good hosting?" Silence followed as Luce's face turned sour. From the corner of my eye, I saw her husband's I*ps thinning in tension. I didn't give her a chance to reply tobecause I turned to leave.

The evening went on as he danced with every girl with a bored expression. A few tripped, and it was apparent they wanted to beliminated.

“Hi!" she said, swaying her red wine glass. “You're quite chatty." I cocked my eyebrow at her audacity.

"You shouldn't have talked to Luce like that,” she said, her glass tilting dangerously. "Apologize to her." "Mind your own business," I retorted in a low but dangerous voice. I was already on the edge and my wolf, Ara, wanted to kill her already.

Rebecca's face twisted in anger and in rage. Suddenly, she threw the red wine in her glass on me. Girls around us gasped as Rebecca going to be your punishment for today!" I poked my tongue in my chee as her eyes widened in dish.

I chuckled, "Stupid. Throwing red wine on a red dress won't make any know't difference, you know? But red wine on a stain on the bodice of her dress. "This is going to stay. Forever." white dress?"/waved at the I She looked like she could kill me, but she clenched her fists and pivoted to leave.

"You're awesome!" Alicia said, trying her best to not laugh.
