Chapter 203 The dinner was my first treally seeing Patrick with my pack. I had seen him with my family and knew he got along famously with them, but what I hadn't realized was that in his hunt to find me, while I was cowardly hiding from him, he seemed to have befriended everyone. I had started to make introductions as people cby to talk to us, but there had been no need.
"Is there anyone here you don't already know?" I finally asked him, literally floored by the realization.
He looked around. "No, I don't think so, why?" "How do you know so many people?" "Love, I spent a lot of taround here looking for you. I wasn't the one hiding, and I wasn't afraid to pull any and all resources offered." As if on cue, Christine cbouncing over to us and threw her arms around Patrick.

Christine just smiled and brushed it off. "Can't tell you how many times she growled atbefore the challenges were over." She was pointing over her shoulder at Kelsey. I was a little taken aback by how nonchalant she was about it. Christine had almost lost her life when she challenged Kelsey. I couldn't believe how casually she tossed that around.
Meanwhile, Kelsey was laughing hysterically. "See, I'm not the only one," she struggled to say. Then her face turned serious and she jumped up, holding her belly, and waddled off in the direction of the bathroom. "Dammit E, you can't makelaugh like that." Lily let out a whoop and my momentary aggression disappeared completely as I joined her.
"You okay, love?" Patrick asked, rubbing my shoulder I nodded, "Yeah. Sorry, Chris. I don't know where that cfrom." "It's okay. Just a mating thing. You're about to go into the challenges, where your mate will be 14:17 Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games 96.7% Chapter 204 threatened. It's only natural, but trust me, I've learned my lesson" She kneeled, krnering herald beneath me, and hared her neck. "Full acceptance and support. Patrick****y, Derm You wouldn't believe the shit he went through to find you, I'm really happy for you both and world never try to cbetween you. Heck, I'd never try to cbetween true mates ever a I knew her words meant to be comforting, but they really had the opposite effect. I felt terrible for everything I put him through and for showing aggression like that. That grow had jest jumped ont of me.
Patrick leaned in and kissed my cheek before whispering in my ear. "You are worth all the shit, and I think it's pretty fecking sexy hearing you growl on my behalf." He winked atand I bothed furiously.
Just as we were about to head outside to kick off the run, Patrick's phone rang, He looked at it with a scowl. I glanced down. Blocked number.
"Hello?" "It's Dave, get somewhere you can talk." My heart dropped into my stomach. Dave. The human. He would only call if there was a problem. Trying not to alarm anyone, I casually stood and took his hand. He tried to tellno, but I glared at him and nodded my head yes. Planting a fake smile on my face to hide my fear, I led him outside and across the street.
"E, Kyle's about to start the run, con. I may not be able to join in the fun, but I'll still be there in spirit," Kelsey said pathetically, still sad about not getting to run.

"It's Dave. We need a safe place to talk."
"Kyle has to get the pack run started, but I'll let him know." She pointed to ΟΠΙ her head and I understood that she would communicate telepathically through their bond so there was no chance of being overheard.
I nodded and picked up the pace as we headed for Kyle's office. As soon as the door was closed behind me, I turned to him. "You're free to talk openly. No one outside of this room will hear anything." 96.8% Chapter 203 "Sorry Dave, but I had to get to someplace safe. Wolf cars and all makes that a little difficult sometimes."
"We're seeing movement heading in your direction. There's a small group from your Clan that entered the USyesterday. Sorry I was tied up and couldn't get away to warn you. They are likely on your doorstep by now," I heard Dave tell him. I didn't need the phone on speaker mode with my wolf ears. It was a benefit and downfall at times. "They aren't my Clan anymore. I am Westin, and I've been expecting them." My heart soared with pride hearing Patrick say that, but fear prickledknowing it was his brother coming to challenge him.
"Okay, good. There's at least one Bulgarian shifter traveling with them. There's also another Bulgarian group currently on a flight to San Francisco. The strange thing about that other one is that it's a group of females." □ (0) (0)
