I was angry with myself for letting it happen. This was no victory as far as I was concerned. It was an all out slaughter, and I hated myself for it. I couldn’t even look Kelsey’s way, though my mate was screaming in my head to shake it off. We both knew I had bigger challenges coming and I couldn’t afford to beat myself up over this one. The important thing was, I won, and Kelsey was another challenge down from safety because of it. That’s all that mattered and I had to force myself to concentrate only on that.

I went back to the small room at the back of the arena and just sat down on the ground letting the emotions wash over me. They changed to something positive flowing over me and I wasn’t sure why until the door opened and Kelsey walked in.

“You can’t do that, you know that. Someone else could feel it.” I said, knowing she was sending positive alpha power to wash over me.

She shrugged. “I’m getting good at controlling it and you need it right now. Stop wallowing and get up.”

I did so and watched her eyes widen and sweep over me as she realized I hadn’t bothered to dress yet. A grin spread across my face as I felt her heat up inside and out. My mate wanted me as badly as I needed her.

“Come home with me.”

“You know I can’t. Your dad said it was okay to see you and allow our wolves to settle with the knowledge that you are ok, but that was it.”

I grinned and stalked closer to her. She blushed and backed up until her back hit the wall.

“Kyle, there are people still out there waiting for you. We can’t.”

“I guess you better keep quiet for once then,” I challenged as my lips met hers with all the frustrations and fears of the week. The last night we had been together she had been injured and I had spent it caring for her. It had been far too long since we had last really been together. The Council had planned it that way, I knew, and I knew their reasons, but I didn’t care.

I didn’t think she was going to submit to me, but when she did, I couldn’t have stopped myself if I had wanted to. And I did not want to. I needed my mate in every sense of the word. I slowed only long enough to be careful with her clothing, even though I wanted to just rip it from her body. This

wasn’t the careful caressing we were used to, this was all pent up want and desire mingled with fear pouring through us and I felt like she was the air I needed to breathe and I couldn’t get close enough to her. It was fast and furious as I pressed her body against the wall and we both took and gave with equal urgency. I felt sated for the first time in far too many days, even if it was over much too quickly.

Breathless and panting, I softened my grip on her and when her legs unwrapped from around my waist, I lowered her to the ground. I kissed her softer this time and pulled her to me, just holding her a minute, basking in the afterglow.

She shook her head against my chest. “There’s still a lot of people out there waiting for you.” And I’m probably going to die of embarrassment when you open that door, so you won’t have to worry about your other challenges anyway, she half teased.

I laughed and reached down to gather her clothes, tossing them back to her, but I watched and didn’t move to dress myself until she was fully clothed.

Worth a million challenges, babe!

She let me exit first and held back a few minutes as the crowd erupted and congratulations began. Then she tried to sneak out and melt into the crowd. Fat chance of that. I grabbed her hand and pulled her arm around my waist. This was our pack and this was my mate, their future Pack Mother and we would not hide our love. Though she was stiff, and a tad uncomfortable, she humored me.

Cole Anderson shot me a knowing look and shook his head laughing. “One down, two to go. And

because of the number of challenges you’ve been issued, and the shortened challenge period, word

has gone out that challenges will only be accepted for another seventy–two hours. After that it’s

closed to allow time to schedule before your challenge period ends. There’s some alphas not real

happy about it, but you two have the Pack Council so worried that they want this over as quickly as possible. We’ll know in the next few days exactly what you two are facing.”

Kelsey brightened next to me. “Really? No more challenges can be made after that?”
