Contract With Alpha Logan

Chapter 109
Katy POV
King Soren's anger erupted like a dormant volcano. His eyes, that were once as gentle as tranquil waters, were stormy as he glared at Cassie. "I didn't know that you were plotting so much under my nose. I trusted you so much and you've broken my trust!" He looked... hurt. "Guards! Arrest Queen Cassie for treason!"
"Treason?" Cassie stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief. "My king, this is preposterous. How have I committed treason?"
"You went against the future Alpha of the Viking pack. That is treason. You colluded with someone else to bring him down. That is treason. You disrespected the ancient tradition of the pack and tried to change its natural path. That is the greatest
treason!"
"My king-" she cried. "All the allegations are untrue!"
King Soren disregarded her pleas. He snapped his head towards Luce and Beau. "From this day onwards, you both will no longer be a part of the Viking pack. You are expelled and now regarded as our enemies. If you dare to step into this pack's territory, you will be thrown in the dungeons!"
"Fa-father!" Luce rasped as she fell on her knees. "Please, just listen to me..." Her chin quivered as she clasped her hands in front of her king. Beau stood behind her, looking like he had seen a ghost.
"No!" Soren growled, his eyes flashing amber. "Get out of this pack. You will go empty-handed, without a single cent or scrap of fabric. You will be disowned and lose all rights to this pack, starting from today."
Luce was stunned. She sat there motionless, her heart pounding. The weight of her father's decision pressed on her soul like a heavy anvil, leaving her dazed. She was like a figure standing in the hurricane of her own design. For years she had calculated, colluded, and schemed to remove Ace from the Viking pack. She went all evil and cast a spell on him.
All her plans came down crashing just like her.
I felt bad for her, not because of her malicious intentions, but because of her inability to understand Beau. He was infidel to her, and she wanted to make him the Alpha of the pack. Did she ever wonder if his promiscuity led him to reject her in favor of someone else? And then what would have happened? The ruling family would've been wiped out just like that.
Soren stepped back. "Guards, take Luce and Beau out of the pack now! And take Diana under arrest."
"Noooo!" Diana shrieked. "Beau! Beau! What is this? You said you'll make me the Luna of the pack." She rushed to him and grabbed Beau's collar as Luce watched her. "Make this stop! You said-"
Beau pushed her down with a snarl. "Shut the f*ck up, bi*ch!" Without looking at Luce, he stormed out of the field with guards following him. Luce continued to sit there, stunned as hell.
I had always thought that King Soren was a kind ruler with a heart of gold. But I guess I hadn't seen his fierce side. He didn't spare anyone. He would have spared his wife, but for the pack, he showed how just he was. It was sort of an eye-opener for me. King Soren conveyed to everyone in his pack that no one was above loyalty to the pack. Betrayal comes with a high cost - disaster.
As if he wasn't over, he turned to Rebecca. This time, his face twisted with anger. "You fooled the entire pack by faking your age. Not only that, you enticed Luce's husband to win the Selection. And now when you lost, you accused Katy of rigging the competition. Had Alpha Logan not pointed out this to me, I would have never come across your deceit. Hence, I, Alpha Soren, announce a war over your pack!"
Rebecca's mo*th fell open as her lips trembled as if she wanted to speak something, but words couldn't escape her mo*th. "Guards!" he shouted. "Throw her out of the pack with all her belongings!"
Two guards came and picked her up in the air with her upper arms. She screamed and shouted and struggled against the guards, asking the king to spare her and her father, but King Soren's stony face was enough to show that he would never go back on his decision.
"Alpha Logan, I would like to talk to you in private!" King Soren's voice broke my reverie. He looked at me and I saw a flicker of emotions passing through them, like he was tired of this nonsense, like he wanted to just get out of it.

Chapter 109
"My king-" Cassie cried. "Please listen to me."
But Soren circled past her and walked towards the castle. Logan and Kylie walked after him. Ace held my hand and tugged me inside. The result of the Selection should have caused celebration in the pack. Instead, a gloom settled over all of us. The air became polluted because of the toxicity of certain selfish individuals.
I knew Luce was in for a horrible life out of this pack. Beau's elder brother was the Alpha of his pack and so Beau was always going to remain at his mercy. He was going to cheat on her every other day, making her life miserable. She would have to endure it because, without Beau, she had nowhere to go. Her father disowned her. Because of lack of money, she was always going to depend on Beau and his family. King Soren's punishment was harsher than simply throwing her in the dungeons. He gave her a lifetime of hell called Beau Jordan.
Rebecca thought that with the queen's support, she could win the competition, but little did she expect the turn of events. Her pack was much smaller than the Viking pack. King Soren's warriors would take it over in less than a day. She had a reason to worry and worry endlessly. Her pack would suffer complete annihilation as a result of her senseless and her entire family would be forced to live as rogues. Whenever an Alpha would seize control of a different pack, the rival Alpha would either be imprisoned or driven out of the pack. There were very few takers of the rogue Alphas.
1 curled my arm around Ace's as I walked with him inside the castle. Although I had this urge to look behind, I restrained myself.
When we reached the library, King Soren sat down on his chair behind a large mahogany desk with his head held in his hands. Ace left me and went to his father. "I'm so sorry..." he said to him, holding his shoulders and leaning towards
him. "I-"
King Soren shook his head. "No, Ace. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have kept
my eyes on my wife and my daughter. But I trusted them blindly." He looked up at his son. "I'm so sorry for what happened to you." His throat bobbed. He looked at Logan and said, "Can you ask Corella to reverse the spell on his asap? It's just too disheartening."
"Of course!" Logan said and took his phone out. He talked to Corella about it. Once he disconnected the call, he said, "I will go with him to his room where Corella will lift the spell, but-" he pursed his lips. "She is demanding a hefty
amount."
King Soren clenched his jaws. "How much?"
"Fifty thousand dollars."
"I'll give," he said without hesitation.
"Cool! Then I'll go with Ace to get the spell out of him!”
As soon as Logan and Ace left, I faced King Soren. His lips curled into a soft smile. "Katy, not only have you won the competition, you've also lifted the veil from some hideous shenanigans in my pack. I'll be forever grateful to you." He took a rough breath. "Tomorrow is the blood moon. You will wed Ace tomorrow
night."
My jaw dropped as surprise surged through me. "Tomorrow?"
Kylie squealed and hugged me tightly. "Yay! I knew it!"

I giggled as tears threatened to blur
my vision. "Are you sure?" I asked him, because he had given so many rulings against his family. I was sure that he must be emotionally drained. The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!

"I could never be so sure in my life, Katy," he replied. "There's no other way to rectify this mess, apart from getting Ace married to his mate." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
"Thank you," I said as I let my tears fall. "Thank you so much!"
He chuckled. "No. It is all thanks to you, my
dear."
I swallowed thickly as my throat choked with emotions. "What about Queen
Cassie and Luce?"
His face turned stone cold. "Nothing. Forget them, and I don't want to hear about
them. Is that clear?"
I froze as his alpha aura spilled out. "Yes."

He softened the next moment,
stabbing his fingers in his hair. "Luna
Kylie,” he said. "Please take Katy back NO to her room. She must be exhausted.
And I insist you stay for her wedding tomorrow." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
"Yes! I will not miss it for the world!" Kylie squealed again.
We both bowed to him and instead of going to my room, we went to Ace's room.
