Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206

We ran, jumping over rocks and dodging under low–lying branches. My wolf had always been dominant, but he seemed perfectly content to follow our mate’s lead. He certainly had shown no signs of aggression when she had taken control of things earlier either. I thought for a moment. He had even been subdued with Kyle,

I had always struggled with my wolf, who was more dominant than any of my brothers, and often tried to challenge my father, too. Since coming to San Marco, my wolf and I had largely been one, at peace. It made me consider that maybe we were exactly where we were meant to be.

I was enjoying the playful side of my mate’s wolf until I smelled him. Niall. And he wasn’t alone. I sniffed the air and grunted my displeasure as I alerted my mate. My chest puffed as her hackles rose, but she moved to stand behind me.

I sniffed the air again. Gregory. Da must have sent him to make sure Niall went through with the challenges. Gregory was the youngest of my brothers. He was also arrogant and spoiled, but perhaps the most ruthless of us all. My wolf growled a menacing sound to warn them back. He did not like their close proximity to our mate.

I stayed low to the ground and watched and waited until they slowly came through the North Pass. The North Pass was the same section the Bulgarians had entered our territory when they came for Kelsey and I immediately noted the need to close it off or provide more security to this section of our land. Distracted by my brothers and their companions, the thought of thinking it being “our” and, as if it in some way belonged to me too, was missed. In that moment, I was Westin and my enemy just encroaching on my territory.

The first wolf to come through stopped and stared at me. Recognition flickered as I saw my brother. Niall immediately changed and put his hands up in peace. My wolf snarled and snapped his jaws. My brother did not move. He spoke softly, telling the others to change. He knew I could never attack him while in wolf form as long as he was in his skin.

“Brother, I come in peace.”

I was standing on two legs, furious, before I even knew what was happening. “You come in peace? Peace? Bloody hell, Niall. What the feck are you thinking? You come here to challenge me for my

mate. MY. MATE,” I screamed.

I heard movement behind us quickly approaching. As a pack of Westin wolves breached the clearing, Elise turned to them and barked once. They all heeded and sat to watch, waiting for the

moment they were needed. I knew they had my back and I knew my brothers wouldn’t stand at chance if they tried anything.

The realization that I was thinking like that about my brothers, my own flesh and blood, made me sick to my stomach, but this was the position our father had put us in.

“I don’t want to fight you, Patrick, but you don’t know how furious Da got with your betrayal.”

I snorted at his choice of words. Da would always see it as a betrayal. I knew it with certainty. I would never regret what I had done though, not even for him, the man I had once idolized.

“You fight me, you will die. Do you understand that? I don’t want to kill you, but if you choose to go through with this, I will not spare you.”

I watched him pale at my threat. He knew my capabilities and my strengths and weaknesses in a fight, but he had never felt the power and possession that came with a true mate. There was no way anyone was taking her from me.
