Graham POV
The weight of depression settled upon me after our return from the High Council. I couldn’t help thinking about my wife, my mate and my Luna, who I had lost in a span of less than a month. Everything felt incorrect.
“What are you thinking, Alpha Graham?” Zoe said as she came to sit right in front of me between my knees and handed me a glass of wine. “Please don’t torture yourself.”
I closed my eyes and tipped my head up. What had I done? Kylie was my mate, bestowed to me by the Moon Goddess. She was the one person who understood me so well. My wolf was aligned with hers. The moment she rejected me, he whimpered in pain and receded. I called him so many times, but he didn’t wake up. He needed his mate and accused me constantly of pushing her away. I suppressed him because I was in love with Zoe.
I wished for his quick healing because if he didn’t recover soon, my pack members might view me with disdain and potentially revolt against my leadership.
Zoe wasn’t my mate, but I loved her intensely. I had known her since our childhood. It felt right to take her back. when she returned to me after being abused by Alpha Liam. However, seeing her in front of me now only filled me with despair and bitterness.
I remembered the day I got married to Kylie. Zoe had come to me and asked me to force Kylie to take an anti- pregnancy shot. She said, “I might reject Alpha Liam and return to you, Graham. Please don’t have pups with her and taint our beautiful love.” And like a fool, I made Kylie take the anti-pregnancy shot. The trust in her eyes when she took that shot, shattered me from inside and my wolf hated it. I resented Zoe for making me do it.
I sipped wine as my heart twisted once more for the want of my mate.
It was all going so well.
Zoe was happy with me, and she never once forced me to reject Kylie. If Kylie had understood my needs, she wouldn’t have grown distant. I was so thrilled about Zoe’s pregnancy that I completely forgot about Kylie’s nearing end to her anti-pregnancy shot.
Why didn’t I have Sx with her? Had I impregnated Kylie, she would have been expecting my pup, and I would have effortlessly sailed through this turbulent phase. I would have been expecting two pups by now. 1/3 Emergency calls onlyMom Chapter 57 101079% 18:45 Zoe took my hand and placed it on her belly. “You have a bright future ahead. We will give birth to our pup. Stop thinking about Kylie. She has ruined your life, and she made you look like a fool in front of all the Alphas and the Lunas.” Our pup. It sounded good, but come to think of it-I had Sx with Zoe for no more than ten days when she announced she was pregnant. But that was possible, right? That brought me to my next source of anxiety. Kylie was of Alpha bloodline. Since I was also an Alpha and her mate, our pup would have been extremely strong. But Zoe was from Beta bloodline, which meant that our pup would not be as strong. Pups of chosen mates were never that strong. I gritted my teeth, thinking that I lost a golden chance along with a golden mate.
Kylie was so good when it came to pack’s business. She had all the finances in control and pack members loved her. In contrast, Zoe was only interested in me and her pregnancy. I remember her giving a party to the omegas but that was just one time. After that, her interest waned. She was only interested in shopping for more jewelry and dresses for herself. And of course, parting her thighs for me whenever I wanted. I really liked how she was ready to have S*x with me every time I demanded.
I gulped the wine in my glass and looked at Zoe. Suddenly, I realized she wasn’t even as beautiful as Kylie. Taking a ragged breath in, I said, “Refill this.”
Zoe took the crystal from me and refilled it. As she gave it to me, she sat beside me. Her fingers went to my shoulders, and she started massaging them. “Alpha Graham, you have everything with you. Why are you so bothered? You are still the Alpha of your pack. You will soon become the father of a pup, and you have me. Nothing is lost.”
I had all that, but I lost all my reputation. Because of Kylie, a new thing was going to crop up. More females would demand separation from their Alphas and that meant that those Alphas would hate me for not being able. to control my Luna.
My eyes went to Zoe, and I wondered how she would be as my Luna? The idea repulsed me so much that I felt like puking. I rubbed my chest. I thought my life was perfect with both my mate and girlfriend, but it suddenly took a dark and ugly twist.
While Kylie was now with Alpha Logan, who had the strongest pack in North America, what was I left with? Zoe? She didn’t even come with the inheritance. She was no comparison to my mate. But what my mate did to me was beyond imagination. I tried to control Kylie in every possible way, but with her intelligence, she slipped and
took control of her life.
The idea of beating her was the furthest thing from my mind, but I was fueled by my jealousy, and Zoe believed it was the only means to bring her back to me. No, it only pushed her away.

I stabbed my fingers in my hair. How could I think that Kylie, who was an Alpha, would submit to my extreme
measures?
“Alpha Graham,” Zoe cooed, and I gnashed my teeth.
“Get out!” I growled at her.
She winced. Her eyes filled with tears. “Alpha Graham, are you regretting me?” When I didn’t reply, she added, “There’s something I like to tell you to get control of the situation.”
My eyes narrowed on her. “Control the situation? You mean get Kylie back?” That was impossible because Kylie was with Alpha Logan, who was not only stronger than me, but had more money than G o d.
She looked hurt. “No, not that. Beta Asher was telling me you both have joint accounts,” she said in a low voice.
I stared at her for a moment, and then the realization hit me. “F u c k!”
She nodded knowingly. “It’s high time you remove her name from the account because she practically owns half the money. Since she didn’t demand alimony or ask to divide the pack, it will work to our advantage.”
Zoe was not as intelligent as Kylie, but she had shown her shrewdness in the past, and this was just another example of her cleverness. I sucked in sharp air and rushed to my office to do the needful because I would not give Kylie a penny that belonged to me.
With enthusiasm, I typed on my computer, but what unfolded next left me shocked.
