Chapter 50 Elise was already there with the door open, signaling us in. I went straight to my office and quickly changed into human form and into the spare clothes I always kept there. When I cout, Kelsey was already dressed in an outfit I recognized as Elise's.
"Thank you," I mouthed to her.
She gavea quick hug. "You're welcome," she whispered back.
I looked over at Kelsey, new emotions swelling withinat the cocky, knowing smile on her face. "I took it easy on you, you know?" I rolled my eyes. My pride could take the jokes that would knowingly follow, especially with the new pride handed toin the form of my amazing mate, "Please, I threw it when I fell." I saw her face fall into surprise and then morph into fury.

I shook my head as I started leading her out to the parking lot where I knew everyone awaited the final results. "You wish! I gave you that win. It was a sympathy win for your first trunning with a real wolf." Yeah, I knew I was full of shit, but she was too adorable all riled up and furious that I couldn't help myself.
"You are so full of it! If I hadn't checked up coming into town, I'd have finished a full half mile ahead of you, slow poke." We were suddenly within earshot of others and they began laughing their approval of her snide- comments, which made her back off and drop her head in embarrassment.
"Why were there so many people standing around like they were waiting for us anyway?" she dropped her voice and asked cautiously.
"Kels, they've been waiting for two years for you to acknowledge your wolf too. People here are excited to really meet you. They want to know your story and they want to get to know you." And they all really want to know why Dad and I protected you all this time, but I didn't add that part.

I barely saw or spoke to anyone outside the office. How would they even know I existed? Up ahead, I saw people everywhere standing around the parking lot, waiting and watching for us. I didn't want to be the center of attention but I tried not to panic.
I tried to turn back, but Kyle was right there behind me, blocking the way. He took my hand and placed it on his chest.
"Look at me, Kelsey. Just at me," he said in a deep soothing tone.
I did, then remembered I wasn't supposed to.
"I'm not supposed to do that, Kyle. I don't want to screw up in front of everyone. There's so many people out there." "I know, babe, but it's okay. Look at me, just this once." I did as he said, and immediately felt the others begin to melt away in the distance.
"Okay, now just breathe. Feel my heart beat. I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere. This is important, babe, more than you know. I need you to be strong, smile, and just get through this, okay?" I nodded, knowing there really wasn't anything he could ask that I wouldn't do, especially when he kept callingbabe. That was something new, and it madetingly and giddy every the did. I didn't think he really even realized he was saying it, but there was something possessive in the way he spoke it that both my wolf and I really liked.

He was too far away for his scent to fully envelope me, but I could feel the eyes behind us, and I didn't know if it would be okay to sniff him. I giggled a little at the thought. Kind of a hysterical, pathetic noise popped out in the process. And I laughed a little harder with the strange expression he gavefor it.
"What was that?" he asked and I knew he was trying to lighten the mood.
I nudged him. "Don't tease. I'm nervous." san biak mu hutt in a race as badly as you just did should ever be nervous about 23.6%
DEL IL 89%1 anything." He grinned and started to walk off.
"Wait, so now you're admitting I kicked your butt fair and square?" "That is something I will never admit." "Kyle Westin, you did so admit it just now. I totally kicked your ass." I didn't realize we were already outside until the ohhhh's and ahhhh's and laughter began joining in fully.
"Yeah, admit it, Kyle, you got wrecked by a woman!" "I ain't ever seen nobody run faster than Kyle. Wonder what they clocked her at?" "No way Kyle got beat by a girl. He let her win." I knew that last one wasn't true, but I kept my mouth shut and my head down as I followed him through the small gathering as we headed toward his siblings. I had only met Chase and Liam a handful of times over the last two years and didn't really know them, but they were welcfamiliar faces amongst the crowd.
