Chapter 68 Kyle sighed and raked his hand through his hair.
"Yes, we did." Jason blew out a deep breath.
"Well, that explains that, but Kelsey, how were you able to pull alpha power that way? I've been in front of sof the most powerful alphas in history and I've never felt anything like that." "I have a theory, Dad..." He nodded for him to continue.
"Kelsey and I, we started bonding before we completed our mating." I know I shouldn't have, but hearing him speak of our mating to his dad madeblush furiously.

"What are the signs of a hond, Mr. Westin? Perhaps feeling your mate's emotions? Knowing his exact location? How about hearing his every thought and being able to communicate telepathically?" His eyes widened. "Yes, all of those things. It starts off mild and grows into what you are describing." Anger flared in me. We were telling him this was happening and he wasn't beli Worse, he seemed to be listening tomore than Kyle.
"Mr. Westin, I get you may not believe me. I'm a nobody." "You are not a nobody, babe." I heard Kyle's words in my head and turned to glare at him for distractingmid rant.
But Kyle is your son. Why would he lie to you? You've groomed him his entire life to run this pack. I would think you would trust him with anything.
I felt a hand on my shoulder and I turned to look at Kyle. "What?" I thought "Kels. I love that you are riled up and ready to cto my defense, but please, "His eyes were pleading with me, Tm the alpha male here. It's my job to protect you, my mate. It is my honor to bear. Please don't take that from me." I nodded and took a step back, not cowering behind him but standing tall in support of him.
His father watched our silent transaction in awe.
"It's true, isn't it? You really have bonded, fully bonded, so quickly?" I let Kyle ned and take control of the situation, but his father's eyes were immediately drawn to me.
"I understand now." "What?" We both asked at the stime.
"I didn't feel it when we spoke the other day. Kelsey, did something happen aside from the obvious, to you this week?" I looked at Kyle for approval before answering. He nodded and smiled, encouragingon.
"Like what exactly?" "It's really hard to tell. You were quite reserved and I felt no authority in you at our last meeting nor any tbefore. But now? Now I feel power pouring off of you demanding attention and control And what you did to Vanessa? Even as Pack Mother you shouldn't have that much power and authority. And she gave allegiance to you right here in my presence." Kyle's sharp intake of breath toldthat was a very bad thing.

"Vanessa. She cto the office ગામડા ΟΥΤ yesterday. She threatened me. ToldI could never have Kyle, that he was hers. It felt like something shapped insideand I saw that she was afraid. My wolf rejoiced over it but I had felt bad when she stormed out of my office. I got angry when I saw her here just now. It felt... similar." I all but whispered. "Please, sit down, both of you. This is very important and something we mustn't share with anyone. I mean anyone. Do you both hear me? If you were anyone else Kelsey I'd have you removed from my territory so fast your head would spin, but I could never do that to Kyle and I strongly feel you are no real threat to us, but if the Grand Council ever hears of your existence, it could mean war. They would stop at nothing to destroy you." "Father!" Kyle started in, but I laid my hand on his arm to silence him.
"So, Elise's theory is right? I have no pack. The wolves that cfor my parents were really after me, and I shouldn't exist because I should have died as a young pup because I'm a- a-a alpha she-wolf?" "We will never speak of this again, do you hear me?" I nodded.
"Both of you?" Kyle looked like he was in shock but slowly nodded in agreement.
"What does this mean, Dad? What does it mean to the pack?" I could hear him cursing himself for acting so brashly and not seeing what was in front of him. I couldn't console him. It was tearingup inside that he was regretting our mating. I knew the moment he realized I was upset.
"Hey, it's okay. I promise you I don't regret a thing. You are my one true mate, nothing could have stopped it, no amount of knowledge in who or what you are would change what I feel. You are mine and I am yours. For better or worse, we'll get through it together." 0101 ]]
