Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50

Elise was already there with the door open, signaling us in. I went straight to my office and quickly changed into human form and into the spare clothes I always kept there. When I came out, Kelsey was already dressed in an outfit I recognized as Elise’s.

“Thank you,” I mouthed to her.

She gave me a quick hug. “You’re welcome,” she whispered back.

I looked over at Kelsey, new emotions swelling within me at the cocky, knowing smile on her face.

“I took it easy on you, you know?”

I rolled my eyes. My pride could take the jokes that would knowingly follow, especially with the new pride handed to me in the form of my amazing mate, “Please, I threw it when I fell.”

I saw her face fall into surprise and then morph into fury.

“You weren’t even near me when you gritzed over that speed bump.”

I shook my head as I started leading her out to the parking lot where I knew everyone awaited the final results. “You wish! I gave you that win. It was a sympathy win for your first time running with

a real wolf.”

Yeah, I knew I was full of shit, but she was too adorable all riled up and furious that I couldn’t help

myself.

“You are so full of it! If I hadn’t checked up coming into town, I’d have finished a full half mile ahead

of you, slow poke.”

We were suddenly within earshot of others and they began laughing their approval of her snide- comments, which made her back off and drop her head in embarrassment.

“Why were there so many people standing around like they were waiting for us anyway?” she dropped her voice and asked cautiously.

“Kels, they’ve been waiting for two years for you to acknowledge your wolf too. People here are excited to really meet you. They want to know your story and they want to get to know you.” And they all really want to know why Dad and I protected you all this time, but I didn’t add that part.

“Why? Why would any of them be waiting for me? Why would they even care?

I had kept a low profile. I barely saw or spoke to anyone outside the office. How would they even know I existed? Up ahead, I saw people everywhere standing around the parking lot, waiting and watching for us. I didn’t want to be the center of attention but I tried not to panic.

I tried to turn back, but Kyle was right there behind me, blocking the way. He took my hand and placed it on his chest.

“Look at me, Kelsey. Just at me,” he said in a deep soothing tone.

I did, then remembered I wasn’t supposed to.

“I’m not supposed to do that, Kyle. I don’t want to screw up in front of everyone. There’s so many people out there.”

“I know, babe, but it’s okay. Look at me, just this once.”

I did as he said, and immediately felt the others begin to melt away in the distance.

“Okay, now just breathe. Feel my heart beat. I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere. This is important, babe, more than you know. I need you to be strong, smile, and just get through this,

okay?”

I nodded, knowing there really wasn’t anything he could ask that I wouldn’t do, especially when he kept calling me babe. That was something new, and it made me tingly and giddy every time he did. I didn’t think he really even realized he was saying it, but there was something possessive in the way he spoke it that both my wolf and I really liked.

“I’m right here beside you the whole way, but there’s a lot of people ready to finally meet you.”

I took another deep breath. He was too far away for his scent to fully envelope me, but I could feel the eyes behind us, and I didn’t know if it would be okay to sniff him. I giggled a little at the thought. Kind of a hysterical, pathetic noise popped out in the process. And I laughed a little harder with the strange expression he gave me for it.

“What was that?” he asked and I knew he was trying to lighten the mood.

I nudged him. “Don’t tease. I’m nervous.”
