Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games novel Chapter 190

I laughed, grabbed my purse and then his hand as we headed out the door. In the car I saw him shudder and breathe in deeply. I knew he was taking in my scent and it pleased me greatly.

“I wasn’t really joking about the outfit,” he told me honestly, halfway to Mom and Dad’s.

“There’s nothing wrong with this outfit.”

He stopped the car just as the house came into view. “No, there certainly isn’t.” The smoldering loo he

gave me shot heat straight to my core. As he pulled me close and kissed me senseless, the windows fogged. I threw my head back and laughed.

“You’re worried about first impressions, huh?‘ Cause showing up with fogged windows and musse hair is probably worse than the ‘I’m sorry, I just can’t take my eyes off your daughter‘ impression.”

“You’re an evil woman.”

I shrugged. “Should have thought about that before you bit me, because now I’m your evil woman.”

His grin stretched his entire face and sparkled in his eyes. “Yeah, you are.”

As we finally made it to the house, almost twenty minutes late, Chase was waiting on the stairs. He took one look at us and grinned.

“Pay up, twins. They are definitely good and mated!”

I smacked him, knowing my face was turning all sorts of red. “Chase!”

“Chase Michael Westin, you stop embarrassing your sister,” my mother scolded as she came to greet us. One look and she started smiling as tears fell from her eyes.

“Mom,” I said, hugging her.

She reached out, grabbed Patrick, and pulled him into the hug, too. “My little girl. All grown up and mated.” Letting him go, she took my face in her hands. “You’re happy?”

“My pups just keep multiplying around here. This is definitely cause for celebration.” She linked her arm through Patrick’s and escorted him to the back of the house where all my family waited, as I followed, making the announcement for us and introducing her newest son, even though everyone of course already knew him.

“Pumpkin, this is what you wanted, right?” Dad pulled me aside and asked, as if it mattered in a

room full of wolf shifters..

I nodded. “Yes, Daddy.”

He sighed sadly. “Can’t say I was ready for this one, but I know Patrick O’Connell to be a good and fair man. He’ll be a strong mate for you.”

“He is a strong mate for me.”

He sighed. “What happened to asking for permission first? What is it with my children acting on impulse for such a big decision?”

Patrick came to stand by my side. “It may seem fast to you all, but she put me through hell getting here. It definitely wasn’t on impulse.”

The others laughed and my dad shook my mate’s hand. I knew everything was going to be okay. Patrick, as I knew he would, fit seamlessly into my family. There was no awkwardness. He was immediately included into the typical sibling teasing and he seemed to take it in stride. The fact that they had all grown close through my hiding days helped, I’m certain. As far as my siblings were concerned, he had already been included as family even before they knew he was my mate. My

heart was full.

After dinner as we all sat around, the guys decided to head down to the game room and play a few rounds of pool. That left me time with just the most precious women in my life. Mom excused herself to wash the dishes despite our protests and refused to let any of us help.

“I’m really happy for you, E,” Lily told me. “He’s a really great guy.”
