Chapter 201

“Used to be a time when you young people came to us for guidance and approval before mating,” Ambrose told the room, sounding more nostalgic than critical

“My apologies, sir. I was told specifically that it wasn’t necessary when I inquired, because Elise is

my one true mate.”

“No need for apologies. You were informed correctly. My mate says I like to gossip more than the church ladies. May be some truth there, or at least I like being in the know around this pack.” That caused chuckles throughout the room. Even I knew that the real reason Ambrose took his Scotch at the Crate each evening was for the town gossip.

“Alright gentleman, if you could all come to order.” Kyle formally opened the meeting. “We have a few quick things to discuss ahead of tonight’s Pack Run. Nothing too surprising, I hope. Just

formality.”

“Thank you all for welcoming Patrick O’Connell. I can already see that introductions are probably not necessary. Anyone here who hasn’t met Pat, yet?” The entire room shook their heads and remained quiet, so he continued. “Great. First, I’m sure you all received the pack notice that went out earlier this week regarding the mating of Patrick and my sister, Elise. My family and I are very happy to welcome him to our family.” Nods of approval and congratulations were aimed in my

direction.

“Thank you,” I told them.

“Next, Patrick is formally submitting request for pack transfer and is prepared to face the trials that go along with that request.” There were a few murmurs throughout the room. “Are there any concerns or objections to this request?”

My hands were clinched tight with nerves. What happened if they refused the request?

Mallick motioned to speak.

“Mallick, go ahead.”

“Thank you, Kyle. Patrick“-he started directly talking to me-“I’m not certain what everyone here knows, or doesn’t know about you, but could you please give us a brief introduction?”

I cleared my throat and stood, waiting for Kyle’s nod of approval. “I’m Patrick O’Connell, mate of

Elise Westin. I’m the third son of Aidan, Alpha to the Irish Clan. My brothers and I were all groomed to take over as alphas someday. I was sent here to Westin to challenge Kyle for that position.”

“Yet, you reneged on that challenge. Why?” Mallick asked, even though I knew he knew the answer

to that already.

“During warm–ups for the challenge, I caught a whiff of my one true mate. Upon meeting Kelsey, it was very clear to me that she was Kyle’s true mate, and after smelling mine, I knew that I could not accept anyone else, not could I take him away from his.”

“I’ve known your father practically since birth.” Ambrose, the oldest member of the Council, spoke “How did he handle such insubordination?”

1 took a deep breath. “Banishment.”

There was some surprise and even outrage in the room.

“To be clear,” Saul asked, “you want us to approve the acceptance of a banished wolf into the Pack?” Kyle’s head nodded yes. “And you, Kyle, you were fully aware of his status prior to this meeting?”

“Yes sir, I was, and given the extenuating circumstances, I stand by the request.”

Neil’s hand shot up.

“Neil, you have the floor.”

He stood. “I’ve worked closely with Patrick on some legal issues we’re trying to resolve. I would say that there are many extenuating circumstances here. Not only has he shown our current alpha the utmost respect by reneging in the challenges, but he did so knowing the potential negative impact it would have on him. Perhaps slightly selfish in that his true mate played a factor in that, but we also have to consider that his father is an enormous ass. His banishment is a personal punishment, nothing more. His bank accounts were illegally frozen. Clan payments to his accounts stopped, but that was not enough for Aidan of the Irish. He took it to the next step when his son did not fall into line and rush back to beg for mercy. I support Patrick O’Connell’s request one hundred percent. I would not send any pup of mine to live under that tyrant, nor would I wish it for Elise. Banishment makes an easy decision as far as I’m concerned. Patrick and Elise stay in San Marco.”

He said it with such authority, like it was non–negotiable, and no one said a word to rebut him.

“Go ahead and take the vote,” Mallick told Kyle.

“Do I need to step out?” I asked.

“No, son, you’re fine right there. Best to learn your fate right away,” Saul told me. I gulped and took a deep breath. Okay, here goes, I thought.

“Patrick O’Connell has requested pack transference and is ready to face the trials. Ambrose, how do

you vote?”

“Accepted.”

“Saul?”

“Yes.”
