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 sent me the 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 misguided me with the help of an omega. I wondered if it was Luce who had omitted me from 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 l*ps curled up, but he didn’t come towards me. There were about a dozen girls milling in front of him, each vying for his attention, which made me jealous.

“Hi!” A soft voice beside me broke my reverie. I turned to find a tall and lanky girl looking at me with 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

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
