Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203

The dinner was my first time really seeing Patrick with my pack. I had seen him with my family and knew he got along famously with them, but what I hadn’t realized was that in his hunt to find me, while I was cowardly hiding from him, he seemed to have befriended everyone. I had started to

make introductions as people came by to talk to us, but there had been no need.

“Is there anyone here you don’t already know?” I finally asked him, literally floored by the

realization.

He looked around. “No, I don’t think so, why?”

“How do you know so many people?”

“Love, I spent a lot of time around here looking for you. I wasn’t the one hiding, and I wasn’t afraid to pull any and all resources offered.”

As if on cue, Christine came bouncing over to us and threw her arms around Patrick.

“I’m so happy for you,” she squealed. “Finding your true mate, sealing the bond, changing packs to

be with her. It’s so romantic.”

A loud warning growl escaped me. It came out of nowhere.

Christine just smiled and brushed it off. “Can’t tell you how many times she growled at me before the challenges were over.” She was pointing over her shoulder at Kelsey. I was a little taken aback by how nonchalant she was about it. Christine had almost lost her life when she challenged Kelsey. I

couldn’t believe how casually she tossed that around.

Meanwhile, Kelsey was laughing hysterically. “See, I’m not the only one,” she struggled to say. Then her face turned serious and she jumped up, holding her belly, and waddled off in the direction of the

bathroom. “Dammit E, you can’t make me laugh like that.”

Lily let out a whoop and my momentary aggression disappeared completely as I joined her.

“You okay, love?” Patrick asked, rubbing my shoulder

I nodded, “Yeah. Sorry, Chris. I don’t know where that came from.”

“It’s okay. Just a mating thing. You’re about to go into the challenges, where your mate will be

threatened. It’s only natural, but trust me, I’ve learned my lesson” She kneeled, krnering herald beneath me, and hared her neck. “Full acceptance and support. Patrick****y, Derm You wouldn’t believe the shit he went through to find you, I’m really happy for you both and world never try to come between you. Heck, I’d never try to come between true mates ever a

I knew her words meant to be comforting, but they really had the opposite effect. I felt terrible for everything I put him through and for showing aggression like that. That grow had jest jumped ont

of me.

Patrick leaned in and kissed my cheek before whispering in my ear. “You are worth all the shit, and I think it’s pretty fecking sexy hearing you growl on my behalf.” He winked at me and I bothed furiously.

Just as we were about to head outside to kick off the run, Patrick’s phone rang, He looked at it with a scowl. I glanced down. Blocked number.

“Hello?”

“It’s Dave, get somewhere you can talk.”

My heart dropped into my stomach. Dave. The human. He would only call if there was a problem. Trying not to alarm anyone, I casually stood and took his hand. He tried to tell me no, but I glared at him and nodded my head yes. Planting a fake smile on my face to hide my fear, I led him outside

and across the street.

“E, Kyle’s about to start the run, come on. I may not be able to join in the fun, but I’ll still be there in spirit,” Kelsey said pathetically, still sad about not getting to run.

I gave her a quick hug. “Do you have the keys for Kyle’s office?”

Her eyes were marked with confusion, but she nodded and handed them to me.

“It’s Dave. We need a safe place to talk.”

“Kyle has to get the pack run started, but I’ll let him know.” She pointed to her head and I understood that she would communicate telepathically through their bond so there was no chance of being
