Contract With Alpha Logan

Chapter 94

Katy POV

my well- My pulse pounded sickeningly fast. Now I understood why Beau came to visit me last night. He wasn’t there to ask about being. He was there to keep me occupied while the witch cast a spell on Ace. Beau was keeping an eye on me. My gaze went to him and I found him looking amusedly at Ace, who was now sitting on a chair, looking like a caged tiger.

“What do you want to say, Katy?” King Soren asked with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

“Once a contestant wins a task, what is her motivation to carry on for the next task?” I asked.

“This competition is to marry Alpha Ace, so that’s your motivation,” King Soren said.

“No,” I shook my head. “There should be small rewards at the end of every task for the winner.”

Some girls immediately snickered.

“Such an attention grabber!”

“She thinks she’ll win?”

“What a pathetic woman!”

“How desperate!”

This was the time to put her down and weaken her a little because if I didn’t, I would lose my upper hand. “Don’t you tell me about my class, Luce,” I said in a lethally calm voice. “My brother, Alpha Logan, and my sister–in–law, Luna Kylie, control two large packs of North America.
