"I wasn't really joking about the outfit," he toldhonestly, halfway to Mom and Dad's.

"You're worried about first impressions, huh?' Cause showing up with fogged windows and musse hair is probably worse than the 'I'm sorry, I just can't take my eyes off your daughter' impression." "You're an evil woman." I shrugged. "Should have thought about that before you bit me, because now I'm your evil woman." His grin stretched his entire face and sparkled in his eyes. "Yeah, you are." As we finally made it to the house, almost twenty minutes late, Chase was waiting on the stairs. He took one look at us and grinned.
"Pay up, twins. They are definitely good and mated!" I smacked him, knowing my face was turning all sorts of red. "Chase!" "Chase Michael Westin, you stop embarrassing your sister," my mother scolded as she cto greet us. One look and she started smiling as tears fell from her eyes.
"Mom," I said, hugging her.
She reached out, grabbed Patrick, and pulled him into the hug, too. "My little girl. All grown up and mated." Letting him go, she took my face in her hands. "You're happy?" Chapter 190 "My pups just keep multiplying around here. This is definitely cause for celebration." She linked her arm through Patrick's and escorted him to the back of the house where all my family waited, as I followed, making the announcement for us and introducing her newest son, even though everyone of course already knew him. "Pumpkin, this is what you wanted, right?" Dad pulledaside and asked, as if it mattered in a room full of wolf shifters..
I nodded. "Yes, Daddy." He sighed sadly. "Can't say I was ready for this one, but I know Patrick O'Connell to be a good and fair man. He'll be a strong mate for you." "He is a strong mate for me." He sighed. "What happened to asking for permission first? What is it with my children acting on impulse for such a big decision?" Patrick cto stand by my side. "It may seem fast to you all, but she putthrough hell getting here. It definitely wasn't on impulse." The others laughed and my dad shook my mate's hand. I knew everything was going to be okay. Patrick, as I knew he would, fit seamlessly into my family. There was no awkwardness. He was immediately included into the typical sibling teasing and he seemed to take it in stride. The fact that they had all grown close through my hiding days helped, I'm certain. As far as my siblings were concerned, he had already been included as family even before they knew he was my mate. My heart was full.

"I'm really happy for you, E," Lily told me. "He's a really great guy." "He is, and I'm sorry I didn't confide in you two sooner about him. I was just so freaked out and overwhelmed."
"In hindsight, we should have known.
I mean, all the signs were right there screaming at us, we were just too distracted to put the pieces together," Kelsey said. Chapter 190
"Kyle's sending out the official notice tonight. He's notifying our pack, plus the Irish Clan, out of respect. Then Grand Council and the three packs will be notified later this week. We'll do the official acceptance at the pack meeting next weekend, and Kyle already said he could join us in the pack run Saturday night." I paused and bit my lip. "Is it weird that I'm nervous about that?" "Patrick's already run with our pack, E. What's to be nervous about?" Lily asked.
"I don't know. It just feels different, more real somehow this time."
"Well, I'm looking forward to it. I can't believe how long it's been since I last went for a run. The weird part is that usually i'd be crawling out of my skin by now, but I haven't even felt the itch to shift since this little one surprised us. So this weekend should be fun," Kelsey confessed, rubbing her protruding belly. I (0)
