His father smiled at the two of us as I fought back tears. “Good, because you are both going to have to he strong and help each other through this. Kelsey, I’m going to ask you to do something for me, just once. I need to know just how powerful you are.”
“No Father, you can’t.”
“Kyle, it will be fine.”
“No, Dad, you saw how quickly Vanessa gave allegiance. It’s not worth chancing it. Let me. She’s my
mate.”
“And as such you will willingly give her the world, including your full allegiance, as it should be. Someday, Kyle, I will step down as Pack Alpha and give my allegiance to you and to Kelsey as Pack Mother. Worst case, that happens a little sooner than expected.”
“I don’t understand what you’re asking of me,” Kelsey said.
“Babe, Dad’s going to ask you to push your full power against his. It is a test of strength amongst
alphas.”

“And if I am as strong as he suspects?”
“My wolf could try and give our allegiance to you, however, there is a lot more to becoming Pack Alpha than that and I do not see you issuing a fight to the death to take my role.”
I looked at him horrified. He couldn’t possibly be serious!
He smirked seeing the horror on my face. “That’s what I thought. Okay, let’s do this.”
“Now?”
“Now.”
“What do I do?”
“In theory, you shouldn’t have to do anything, your natural powers should take over much in the same way it did when you felt Vanessa was a threat.”

“But I do not see you as a threat, Sir
“No, perhaps not, but your wolf should not appreciate the dominance Fre about to invoke on you
I gulped, not liking the sound of that.
“Rise and face me. You will hold my stare for as long as you possibly can. You will feel my full power directed at you and you are free to respond in kind.”
I was terrified of what he was asking. I didn’t know what to expect but Kyle smiled and encouraged
me to continue.
I stood before him and met his stare. I had never had a problem with that, only dropping it out of courtesy as the girls had told me to do. I felt a tingling across my body that lightly stirred my wolf. She didn’t like it, but it was tolerable. As the pressure increased, goosebumps came across my body The tingling grew to the feel of pins and needles, like when you’ve sat in one position too long and your foot falls asleep. Tolerable. And I felt no release like I did with Vanessa.
“Kelsey, I need you to push back.”
“I don’t know how!”
I felt a surge come off him and it was uncomfortable and awkward, but I never dropped his stare or budged from my spot. I tried to conjure up something similar to throw back, but I didn’t know how and I felt stupid standing there like that
He eyed me suspiciously as one would a chess opponent.
“Interesting.
He upped the dosage again, or at least that’s what it felt like. I imagined my hackles were standing tall if I had been in wolf form and a small growl released from me but nothing in the way of power
like before.
“You are strong. I’ll give you that, but I feel no return power from you, only sheer defiance.”
“I’m sorry, Sir, I don’t know how to make it happen.”
Next, he looked at Kyle and turned his focus to him. I saw Kyle’s knees start to buckle under the strain.
