“Dude, that’s not what I’m talking about. Hear me out. Yes, I’m sure E’s going to try and bail on dinner tonight. She knows you’re coming, but she’s also really angry with me right now and I fear she’s going to try to leave even before you arrive.”

“What? Elise is leaving? Going where?”

“I don’t know. Some resort spa place. Said she needs to get away and de–stress for a few days.”

“Okay, so why is she mad at you? Did you tell her she couldn’t go?”

I hated the idea of my mate being upset.

“No, I told her it was a great idea, but I was sending an escort with her. So pack your bags before you head over. If Elise really is your mate, good luck, cause you’re about to get five days of full access to her on a road trip. I’ll cover all your expenses, but mating stuff aside, I really need you to do this for me. Are you up for it?”

I didn’t hesitate to answer. “Yes, of course. There’s a war against the Westin Pack. What is she thinking, trying to go off alone like that?”

“Thank you! That’s exactly what I’ve been trying to tell her. She’s so freaking stubborn.”

I groaned.

“What?”

“I’m fairly certain that stubborn woman has her mind set against me. At least that was my assumption until this morning.”

“What happened this morning?”

“I had a Christmas present waiting on my porch, and it sure smelled an awful lot like your sist

“Wow, that’s great, man. I mean, I know we talked about it being her, but a part of me is still skeptical. I mean you haven’t actually seen her yet, not face–to–face and all. Don’t think that I’m being negative, just realistic. I really like you, Patrick. E would be lucky to have you for a mate. I sincerely mean that. I just don’t want you getting your hopes too high until you know for sure.”

“Kyle. I appreciate that, but trust me on this. I know.” I let that sink in before asking the question I

was dying to know the answer of it. “Now, how’d she like the necklace?”

Kyle sighed. “She loved it. Like I’ve never seen her so excited about anything before, excited.”

“You’re serious?”

“Yes. She loved it. It was apparently perfect.”

“Yes!” Somehow I had known she would. The moment I laid eyes on it I knew she had to have it.

“What did she get you anyway?”

“Shirt and a watch.”

“You wearing it to dinner?”

“Absolutely!”

“Pack your bags, lover boy. E may never speak to me again, but we are at war and I need you to look after her. I figured it was you or Cole and I didn’t think you’d appreciate me sending any other male

with her.”

“I’m happy to do it.”

I hung up and pulled the suitcase out, packing as quickly as possible. Knowing she was angry and about to be on the run, I no longer cared about the etiquette faux pas of arriving too early.

With bags packed, I called Kyle to give him a heads–up of my arrival as he requested. He met me in the driveway and helped me put my bags into Elise’s car. I frowned, seeing hers already there.

“Mom’s insisting she stay for dinner. She’s pitching a fit about it still. I don’t envy you this. Gonna be a bumpy ride.”

“Go way outta that!” I exclaimed happily.

“Huh?”

“Uh… no problem, I meant.”

“Got it. Well, good luck.” He hugged me, taking me by surprise. “Keep your sniffer on her and see if you can get a locator on her, too.”
