Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35

I tore off at full speed giving him chase, heading for my house. We stopped at the edge of the woods

and I sat back and howled. He responded the same, only when I moved to head towards the house,

he remained at the edge of the woods. I prayed we’d be able to meet up again sometime soon.

Once inside the house, I wasn’t sure what to do. I was still in wolf form and while I could change

from human to wolf form with ease, I had never consciously changed from wolf back to human form. I had always stayed in wolf form until 1 fell asleep, waking in my naked human form. I looked up at the clock and knew I didn’t have time for that. Pacing back and forth across my living floor, I began to panic.

I closed my eyes tight and thought of what I could possibly do while a strange, somewhat familiar ripple coursed through my body. I felt disoriented and cold. Opening my eyes, I realized I had shifted back to human form. I was naked, still on all fours on my living room floor.

I laughed out loud. “Well, that wasn’t too bad,” I announced to the empty room. Jumping up I ran for the shower and dressed as quickly as I could for the day. It was 8:01 when I sat down at my desk. Exhaustion nearly crippled me. Note to self: next time I decided to run with a wolf, do it on a weekend so I could sleep the next day.

I didn’t really think Kyle would say anything about me being one minute late, even if he was used to

me being at least a half hour early. I quickly started up my computer and ran to make coffee while it

booted. God, I needed it if I were to survive the day.

With two fresh cups of coffee in hand, I headed for Kyle’s office and knocked on the door. No

answer. I set my coffee down on my desk and knocked a little harder. Still nothing, so I opened the door and peeked my head in. The lights were still off and there was no sign that Mr. Westin had been in so far that morning.

“Okay, well, I guess he won’t even notice I was late.”

“Why were you late?” Came a sweet voice I loved, but nearly gave me a heart attack.

“Don’t sneak up on me like that, Lil. You nearly scared the daylights out of me.”

She just laughed. “Did I really hear you say you were late this morning?”

“Yeah,” I scowled. “I got here at eight oh one. Don’t worry, I’ll tell your brother as soon as he gets in.”

Chapter 35

The last thing I wanted to do was lose this job. I had just graduated a few months earlier with my business management degree and knew eventually I would move on, bred coudut even think of it

yet

Kyle and Elise had taken me out to a fancy dinner the night of my graduation and told me how proud they were of me. It had been one of the best days of my life. Lily contin take it as the had already taken off to Europe to spend the summer with friends. I didn’t emy her, though. I much preferred home to traveling, but I was thrilled when she returned just two weeks earlier.

“Eight oh one,” she said in mocked horror, “surely he must fire you for such insubordination.” She giggled. “I don’t know anyone else besides you and Kyle who arrives before eight, Kels. I promise you it will be fine, though someone might actually believe you’re humant

Lily laughed. Little did she know just how much truth was in that statement.

“Who’s human?” Came a deep voice behind me, causing me to jump for the second time that morning.

Kyle’s eyes locked with mine and I couldn’t have looked away if I’d wanted to. There was something so familiar in them, and I got the feeling he was waiting for me to say something. He looked like a man with a shared secret, only I had no idea what that secret was supposed to be.
