Chapter 118
Kelsey, shift and run. I told her as I grabbed my phone and quickly texted Dad that it was not an alarm.Run to Dad’s. I’ll be right behind you.
Come on, they’re headed this way. Quick Kyle!
One thing I was certain. The wolves who turned and started to give chase were never going to catch my mate and they weren’t going to catch me. We were too fast for them, but they had to know now that we were on to them. I could feel the distance growing between us. Kelsey was quite some ways ahead of me. She got to the house a good five minutes before me and even though she was not talking to me, I could feel her and understand that she was confirming my text and getting everyone in position.
“This is what we’ve been training for. Everyone at the ready. They are coming and they are coming fast.” I announced to all present when I entered my father’s house.
“How many?” my dad asked.
“I’m not sure, but it felt like a lot. Kelsey smelled Kamen. Would he really come all this way for her himself?”
“Titus seemed to think he was more than a little obsessed over this, so yeah, I believe it’s possible.”
The house phone rang and I quickly picked it up.
“Kyle.”
“Hey man, we found Ted,” Cole said solemnly. “He’s dead. Looks like a large group came through the north pass.”
“Damn it. Okay, come on back, and prepare your team. I’m already at Dad’s. Kelsey and I almost ran into them near our house. We need to organize the teams, just as we practiced. They never should have gotten this close.”
“I’m sorry. The guys were starting to get a little lax. You were right to keep on us.”
“No time for that now, Cole. It’s go time.”
As I hung up the phone, Liam came into the room. “All the women and children are accounted for

and safe inside the pack house. All but, Kelsey.”
“What?” I asked, furious.
“I’m sorry, Kyle, she refused to leave.”
“And I’m not going to either. They are here for me. I fight side by side with you. Period. There’s not time or room for discussion. I can hold my own, Kyle.”
“Babe, I know you can.” I went to her and hugged her. “That doesn’t mean I don’t hate that you’re going to though.”
She laughed in my arms. “Thank you for not forcing me out. I couldn’t stand to sit in there and not have any idea what was going on out here.”
“I would keep you updated every step of the way.” I tried, hopeful she’d reconsider even though I knew otherwise
“Kyle, Dad says they are heading this way. There’s about 75 of them and they are moving quickly but in a dense pack. Staying together and all,” Chase told me. “He wants to meet them at the break in the woods, head on.”
“Okay, let’s roll out. Tell Cole and Ambrose’s teams to come in from behind. And Quinton and Mallick’s teams to the left and right. We’ll surround them. Only 75? We’ve got them outnumbered by a lot. Do not lessen the guards at any of the passes. We need immediate intel if more are on their way. And I strongly suspect they are.”
Only seventy–five? I heard the small voice squeak in my head.
I turned to Kelsey. “For an attack on a pack as big and strong as Westin, seventy–five is a suicide mission.”
She nodded in understanding.
I rubbed my hands up and down her arms, needing to calm my wolf and watching her visibly relax too. I leaned forward so that our foreheads touched and I breathed her scent in allowing it to wash
