Chapter 43 "So, tellwhy you think you're sevil werewolf? Cause I know you, Kels. There's nothing evil about you." A tear slid down her cheek.
"I've never told anyone what happened that night." "Can you trustenough to tell me?" She was quiet and I didn't think she was going to tell me. Then she surprisedby speaking. "Two wolves cin the night. My father woke up and tried to hide my mother andwhile he fought them off, but they were too fast, too strong for him, and they took him down before we could get away. I remember crying and wanting to scream for him, but my mother hushedand wrappedin her arms and draggedout the back door. We almost made it to the woods behind our house when we heard them coming around the corner. They attacked my mother from behind.
Her screams and the sight of all that blood gushing from her still haunt my dreams every single night. Something distracted them and they left for just a minute. She yelled forrun, but I couldn't just leave here lying there. I started to cry and she beggedto leave her, but I stayed. I didn't know what to do or where to go. She pushed herself up to sit with her back, raw from the attack, up against a tree. I know she must have been in pain, but all she cared about was me. I laid my head in her lap and she stroked my hair and beggedto leave. When we heard the wolves coming back, she got frantic and demanded I go. 'Kelsey, run. Run baby, and don't look back. Don't ever look back....' Those were her last words to me. I got up and started to run. One of the wolves chased me, but even then, I was fast, but I tripped and turned to face him, scrambling backwards. He lunged for me, snapping his jaws and clamping down on my leg. He took a big chunk of it and I screamed and kicked out, connecting with his nose. He howled and stumbled back. It was enough forto get up and run. I ran and ran and never looked back. While running, I started feeling cold then my entire body started itching." I couldn't believe what she was telling me. I knew what she was about to say. What she was describing. But how was that possible? "I remember screaming, but I don't really remember it hurting. The next thing I knew I was on all fours, running even faster through the woods. I woke up the next morning, naked, lying next to a road. I was miles away from my house. I was in such shock and they said I lost so much blood that I blocked out a lot of the following days. I think they keptheavily drugged while in the hospital. I had my first three skin grafts before I left the hospital. I was put in foster care, but even though I was young, I knew I could never let anyone know how they had turnedinto a beast, a monster." 13:55 Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games 20.1% Chapter 43 I reached out and gently wiped her tears away. I wanted to grab her and pull her into my arms and just hold her. But even that simple touch broughta little peace. I didn't want to freak her out knowing how fragile she was in that moment, but I needed to feel her, to assure myself and my wolf that our mate was okay. I was thankful she did not shrink away from my touch.
"How old were you?" "Twelve." "Twelve? Jesus, Kelsey, I've never heard of any shifter changing that young, and all alone. I can't imagine how scared you must have been, and how lonely your world has been since then. But, baby, I can only imagine the stress of that night caused your wolf to cout sooner than it should to protect you. To the best of my knowledge, it's impossible to change someone with a bite the way movies and books depict. You're either born with a wolf or you're not. Most shifters don't change for the first tuntil somewhere between 18-20 years old, and it's not uncommon for it to be as late as about 25. For a long time, I wondered if maybe you were just late changing, but then your wolf showed in the woods, and I could tell in your eyes that it wasn't unfamiliar, like your first time."
"You knew it wasthat night? How?" The content).novelenglish.net! "Kels, I'd know your scent anywhere. There's a lot about wolf shifters that you need to know about, and I promise you, you are a wolf shifter. There's a lot about pack life and protocol that you need to know too. It's going to be a lot to take in, and I don't want to stress you out or overwhelm you anymore than you already are." I remembered something that had bothered bothand my dad about her, "Kelsey, do you know what pack you cfrom? Do you remember anything at all about them? It's the one thing that Dad and I have struggled with the most. Why would any pack allow such a young pup to go through life alone?" I (0) (0)
