"I got a tattoo. It was bleeding a little, Kyle apparently smelled it, he freaked out, we talked. I told him sthings I had never told anyone before. It got pretty emotional. And he, he kissed me." I paused just in tto see the man attempt to hide the smile on his face, like he wasn't surprised at "my admission at all.

I was running hto pack my things and get the hell out of here when I ran into Mike and Ted. They were rambling on about sCouncil and care, well Mike didn't. Ted tried to talk him down.
Anyway, he shifted in front of me. I really freaked at that point!" command to leavealone, but they didn't "Why is that, Kelsey? I mean, since we're getting things out in the open, we all know you're a shifter, so why go to such great lengths to deny it?" I started crying, and Kyle burst through the door.
"Dad, that's enough." "Out, Kyle, this doesn't concern you." "Yes, it does, and you of all people know that." "Son, out. Kelsey asked to talk, and we are only talking. You know I would never hurt her." I felt a similar flow of what I knew now was alpha power, only stronger than anything I'd ever felt from Kyle. It not only gavegoosebumps but madeshiver just a little. I could see it made Kyle furious, but he turned and left the room without another word.
Jason Westin sat down and pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. It was such a Kyle move it madesmile.
24.9% "I'm sorry about that, Ms. Adams, please go on. We can cback to my question later. Mike shifted in front of you?" "Right, so I turned and ran back toward headquarters and when Kyle showed up I tried to wave him off. Mike was in wolf form and chasing after me, but instead of listening he changed too and they fought, but only for a minute." "I really freaked out then and ran hto leave, but Kyle, Elise, and Lily showed up at my house before I could get packed and out the door. I tried to hide. I even shifted into wolf form but had to reign it back when Elise cinto my den and my wolf saw her as a threat. And I guess that's why I
wanted to talk to you. Kyle explained sthings, so did the girls, but↑1 know there's a lot more they aren't tellingyet, and that's okay, they gavemore than enough to take in." "I sighed, feeling a headache coming on from all that had happened in one day.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No one's cright out and said anything, but I know you and Kyle have been protectingfrom the pack. My mom toldto never trust a wolf, to steer clear and run far far away from any I cin contact with. I don't understand why she never toldthe truth about what I am and I'll never know because she died a long tago. But I know there are certain pack protocols. And while they didn't spell it out or say anything about it to me, I know how it felt when Lily and Elise cdown into my den. My territory. They are my friends and I wanted to rip their throats out. For sreason, my wolf doesn't respond the sto Kyle, but she sees the girls as threats even when I know they aren't. And that gotthinking. This is your territory, sir." The tears were free flowing now. "Why didn't you attack me? Why didn't you makeleave? Why didn't you say anything? And I'm so sorry. I'm so very sorry. They tellI'm not supposed to look you directly in the eye as it's a sign of disrespect. If that's disrespectful, I cannot even begin to imagine the level of disrespect it must be for a lone wolf liketo settle into pack territory without acknowledgment, but I swear to you, sir, I never meant any disrespect. I had no idea you people even existed, not like that, not shifters." He caround the desk and pulledto a stand and silently huggedclose.
It wasn't the sas when Kyle had comforted me, but it was nice and remindedof my own father. He letjust cry in his arms until the sobs subsided.
"You're right, Kelsey, I should have cto you. But at first, we were all so shocked with your arrival that we hesitated and waited for you to cto us. After a few weeks, and with you working at the Westin Foundation, it was clear to my children that something was wrong. They assuredyou were no threat to us, and I know they were right. Kyle petitioned the Pack Council himself on your behalf to let you stay and leave you in peace. He's been watching over you, both against possible threats, such as Mike, and waiting for the tyou were ready to open up about who you are. And who are you, Kelsey Adams? Where did you cfrom? I'll be honest, the curiosity of that has been what's kept you alive the most. Even after what, two years now? Even so the pack as a whole is still completely infatuated with the mysterious little lone she-wolf living amongst us who didn't seem to know she was a wolf at all."
