Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163

Elise looked back and gave me a wary smile as the women fussed over her and escorted her into the house. The second she was out of sight, my wolf began to panic. It must have shown on my face too, because when Kyle came around the car to lay into me on everything I had done wrong in the last twenty–four hours, his father interceded.

“Kyle, he’s a mating male. Give him space, and get him in the house quickly. He needs to stay near your sister for now. I can feel how on edge his wolf is with her out of sight.”

They shared a knowing look and I was escorted into the house. Elise was sitting on the large sofa surrounded by her mother and sisters. I was grateful for them, but I needed to touch my mate and assure my wolf she was fine.

“Lily, move and let Patrick have that spot.” I looked at her father in surprise, but he smiled and nodded. “I was a mating male once before, you know. We don’t need any unnecessary trouble today. Do what you need to calm yourself.”

I raised an eyebrow at him. The only thing that would absolutely calm my wolf would be to complete the mating bond with his daughter and I knew that wasn’t happening anytime soon.

The older man pursed his lips and bit back a grin before clapping me on the shoulder as I lowered

next to my mate. I was grateful the Westin family seemed okay with me for Elise. I hadn’t discussed

it with her father and had never been around her and her family together before. It felt natural, like I belonged, and no one seemed to mind me there.

Elise’s back was towards me, but our legs touched at the thighs and that alone began to settle my

agitated wolf. As Lily moved to sit on the floor in front of her, Elise shifted to face the women and,

likely without realizing it, she settled easily against me. I kept my arm on the back of the sofa,

fighting my instincts to wrap it around her waist and pull her even closer to me. I knew she needed

her space, but her actions were more accepting than her words and I was elated that as the day

progressed and she filled everyone in on our adventures, that she seemed to naturally mold into my side and it just felt right.

After answering everyone’s questions and the excitement died down, Mary went off to make lunch and people began to scatter. Kelsey had gone to the bathroom for like the tenth time and Kyle had

retreated to his office, though his glare told me we’d have further words later.

Elise relaxed next to me and tugged my hand resting on the back of the couch to wrap it around her small waist. She nestled her head into my shoulder and sighed. I was so shocked I didn’t want

move a muscle, but it only took a few minutes for me to hear the soft cadence of my mate sleeping in my arms. I readjusted to get comfortable myself and drifted off to sleep, feeling more content than I ever remembered feeling.

“Aww!”

I startled awake to a screeching noise. Elise shifted in my arms and stretched seductively. “They’re

sooooo cute.”

“Shhhh.”

I opened my eyes to see Kelsey trying to quiet Christine Canine.

“You found your mate! I told you it was Elise. How did you not find her sooner?”

E giggled. “Still hide–and–seek champ.”

Christine started laughing. “Wow, did you ever do a number on him. I’m glad you guys worked it

out.”

I felt Elise stiffen next to me. It had felt like we were finally making some progress over the last twenty–four hours, but feeling her change at the mention of us together, I knew we still had a long

way to go.

“Oh good, you’re awake. E, my office, now. We need to talk,” Kyle said as he walked through the

room.

I moved to follow.

“Alone.”

I bit back the growl as anger fired within. I wasn’t ready to let her out of my sight–surely he could

understand that.
