NovelEnglish"I've got it. Lily's been holding back all night, but I can tell she's dying to talk to you." "Well I'm not exactly going to quiz her about you, with you standing right there," Lily grumbled.
I always appreciated Lily Westin's unfiltered honestly "Just letstraighten up, and I'll go for a run." Elise pouted. "I could use a run, too." "Later," Lily told her. "Loverboy, get out and go for your run. We'll take care of clean up, and then I don't have to feel bad about talking about you. So, shoo." I laughed, but looked at Elise honestly. "You sure?" "Yeah, she's like a dog with a bone sometimes. She won't stop till she's satisfied. Maybe we could go for a run later?" She sounded hopeful and little shy asking as she nibbled her bottom lip.

"I won't be long, so grill her quickly." Elise turned red in the face and Lily hooted with laughter as I left them to talk, stripped on my back porch, and ran. The wind in my face from the crisp night air was exactly what I needed to clear my head. It had been a long, hard, emotional day. I'd gone from the lowest point in my life to the greatest moments of my life all within the last twenty-four hours. I didn't want to feel or think anymore, so I gave fully into my wolf and just ran.
Elise Lily started grillingthe moment the door closed behind Patrick. It had been a fun evening. He really was close to my siblings and at times I felt more like the outsider than he did amongst my own family.
You brought that on yourself being a coward, I internally scolded myself. While I was busy ignoring the issue and hiding from him. Patrick had begun making friends and settling into my pack, my family.
"Con, spill it. I can smell that you haven't closed the deal, but you seem closer, happier, than you Chapter 170 did last night, and definitely this morning. What was that all about anyway?" "I made the mistake of telling Kyle I didn't want to take Patrick as a mate, and I don't. At least, I think I don't. I don't right now. I can't. Maybe if Kelsey has a son I'll think differently, but Lil, I'm so scared of losing him." "You mean in the challenges?" I nodded.
"You realize how stupid that sounds, right? With everything you've been through, you're worried about that? Girl, you were kidnapped. Just two days ago, you were being held captive and we didn't know where you were or if we'd ever see you again, and you worry about the fecking challenges?" She was very clearly upset, but her use of the word "fecking" only showcased how close and influential Patrick really was in my family, and it sentinto hysterical giggles.
"This is not funny, E. You don't know how terrified we all were, and that man out there, he brought you back to us. He didn't even wait for reinforcements. He's not a tracker, but he found you. I don't understand why you would put him off after all you've been through." "Wait," I asked, sobering. "Are you lecturing about my responsibility to him? Are you seriously making a claim that I should already have completed the mating bond?" "Yes," Lily said, exasperated and throwing her hands in the air. "That is one fine wolf you have. What on earth are you waiting for? If-no, when-I find my one true mate, you better stand back, because nothing will stopfrom being with him. Nothing." I laughed. Oh, was she going to be in for a rude awakening! "You know, when you meet your one true mate, Lil, I'm going to remind you of this conversation and watch you eat your words. It's just not what you think. On the one hand, Patrick is right here, and he's perfect. He's even trying really hard to be understanding and givetto work stuff out. On the other hand, I feel like, I dunno. Like I thought I would fall in love and it would be magical." "And it's not?" "How do I know?" She looked atlike I was insane.

She still looked atlike I had two heads, but she spoke this time. "I really wish Kelsey were here. She'd have more insight than I do, but E, he is your destiny! Why are you fighting it?" "I don't know."
"When Kyle banished him this morning, you went ent crazy. I meann were like ca-raze zee You were like a rabid beast going off on him." I laughed at her description and threw a pillow off the couch at her head. "I was not."
"Yes, you were. You didn't even realize it. Kyle was terrified of you We all were, Kelsey said there's no way you don't have at least a little were alpha in you, too." (0) (0) Chapter 171 Chapter 171
