NovelEnglishChapter 192 My eyes welled up with tears, first from holding in laughter, then for the sadness I always felt when hearing her childhood stories. Kelsey didn't talk about her foster families often, but when she did it broke my heart for the little girl she had been, and it was often hard to reconcile that little girl to the strong, compassionate, loving woman before me.

When God called Noah for this task, he also called forth many faithful followers. He placed a spirit animal inside each of them to carry his beloved creatures into the new world. With their human minds intact, they lived peacefully on the Ark, for the most part. Our legends say that there was a fight that broke out between a tiger and a lion who was sniffing around a female tiger. The male tiger shifted, to the shock of everyone. They knew their mission was to carry the spirit of the animals into the new world and had thought the shift would be a one-tdeal turning them into animals forever, but God left the free will of their human hosts intact. The people aboard were able to subdue him and he shifted back, naked and vulnerable. That was the start of our kind." "Wait, wait, wait. Are you tellingthat there are others kinds of shifters? I mean, not just wolves?" "Sweetie, for every animal that walks this Earth, at spoint there was at least one male and one female shifter of their kind." "Do they still exist?" "Yes, well, sof them. Wolves are pack animals, so our kind, specifically, have thrived better than most. Some, we fear, are gone entirely. Like the elephant. Seeing their numbers in the wild dwindling, tells us that their shifters are no longer around, or have not found mates if they still exist at all. If they were, they would have stepped in and repopulated." "Wait, what? What do you mean by the shifters would repopulate the animals?" "It's what we were designed for, Kelsey. Ultimately, it's why we were created." "But you had Kyle... and E, the twins, Chase. Are you saying my kid could be an animal instead? Or are all animals actually shifters?" "Our purpose in creation was to ride the Ark to dry land, allow our animal spirits to take over and mate, essentially repopulating the Earth of our animals, and they are animals, Kelsey. Wolves conceived in wolf form have no humanity, they are all animal. It is especially hard on a female shifter and most will choose to give up their humanity to stay with their pups. There are times when Chapter 192 certain animals are called forth to keep their animal-kind from extinction. It is the ultimate sacrifice for any mother," Kelsey was crying, no doubt for the loss of those shifter moms placed in that situation. It had gotten tothe first tI'd heard it too, and I hadn't been pregnant and hormonal at the time.
"When a pup is conceived in wolf form, the female will not change again until the baby is born, and like I said, many never do again. Likewise" my mother reached over and affectionately rubbed Kelsey's belly "when two shifters conceive in human form, a new tiny animal spirit is placed inside that will grow and be nurtured until he or she emerges, usually around the start of adulthood, though as you know that's not always the case. Sturn earlier, slater. Still, while you are pregnant, you will not be capable of shifting. That's just how it is. So no run for you next weekend.
Not having the ability to shift makes prégnant shifters extremely vulnerable and makes their males crazy, so have a little patience with that son of mine."
I smiled and nodded, trying to encourage Kelsey as she tried m absorbing all that Mom had told her. Patrick

I had called and told him I reneged on my challenge with Kyle Westin and had found my one true mate. I've never heard him so angry and was grateful I was half a world away. The words we had parted with would be burned intoforever. He had cutoff, disowned me, and toldto never return to Ireland again. I hadn't confessed that to Elise because in my heart I believed he'd takeback someday. "Da?" I answered.
"Patrick," he replied, followed by a long, awkward silence. He had calledand even though I knew it must be that he had gotten the news of my mating to Elise, I wasn't about to Be I the one to carry the conversation. The announcement had gone out six days earlier. A part ofrejoiced that he had finally reached out, even though I knew that nothing good would cout of it. I also knew it was still too soon, but the part ofthat only ever wanted to please my da, was holding on to the hope that maybe he'd find my mate acceptable and say he was proud of me.
