Chapter 44

“I don’t even know what you mean when you say pack. You mean like a pack of dogs, a group of animals living together?”

“More or less, yeah, though most of us spend more time in our skin than in our fur. And I think of it more like a large close family who all live in the same general area and support each other,” I smiled at her example, though, there was some truth in that too.

She shook her head. “I don’t ever remember living with others. It was always just me, Mom, and Dad as far as I remember. I don’t even remember ever having a babysitter or aunt or uncle. Nothing.”

I frowned. How was that even possible? My wolf growled, and it escaped from me before I could stop it. Kelsey’s eyes widened, but she didn’t shift away from me, remaining within arm’s reach.

“Sorry. It just makes me so angry to think about that happening to you. To think your pack just abandoned you like that. I could never do that to anyone, but especially not a young pup.”

“I don’t know how I could have ever lived with wolves, or wolf shifters, Kyle. I told you before I have always been terrified of wolves, even before the attack. You were the first and only wolf I haven’t been scared of, aside from my own wolf of course. Why do you think that is?”

Because I’m your mate! I wanted so badly to blurt that out, but something told me this was not the time for that. She already had enough to take in and accept without adding that to it. So, I shrugged. unable to speak, and ran a nervous hand through my hair.

“Maybe we should let everything sink in for today and start going through all your questions tomorrow? I really think you need time to process all that’s happened. I can’t even imagine going through life thinking I was some fictional monster, only to discover there are plenty of others just like you. Somewhere out there you have a pack, and if you want to find them, Kels, I’ll make that happen, but you have to know, you will always have a place in Westin Pack.”

I couldn’t explain to her just yet that she would not only have a place in my pack, but that, if she’d have me, she’d someday be the Pack Mother, the highest position possible for a she–wolf in the pack

I couldn’t believe what he was telling me. Could it be true? I was having a tough time absorbing it all. There were others like me? I wasn’t created, but I was born this way? When he talked about pack, he talked about family. I have a family? Where were they? Why didn’t they come for me? The amount

of questions bombarding me was overwhelming, and he was right in that I needed time to take it all

1. in.

I had caught Kyle Westin staring at me so many times over our last two years working together. It had never seemed inappropriate or uncomfortable, and I always felt like he had just been waiting for me to do or say something. I shivered, thinking that’s exactly what it was. He had known all along and never once alluded to anything. It shouldn’t have hurt to think of it, but it did. I couldn’t explain the stabbing pain in my heart when I thought about it. It felt like betrayal, yet I trusted him and believed what he said was true. I still didn’t see how I could have been born a shifter and my parents never mentioned a word of it. They had to have known. Why wouldn’t they have told me?

He was staring at me again. Waiting. Letting me sort through my thoughts and questions in my own time. I was grateful to him for it and as I thought about it, as I looked at him, a surge of something brushed through me. It felt like my wolf, but not like she was fighting for control or to get out. I had this uncontrollable urge to just reach out and touch him.

I know he saw my eyes go wide with shock. He gave me a slight little smirk of a grin like he knew exactly what I was thinking. I felt the urge brush through me again, and before I realized it, I had scooted closer to him. So, close. Our bodies brushed up against each other and my hand was out and headed for what? Him? His face? His body? I licked my lips at the thought just as it all came slamming into me.
