Chapter 87

“B–b–but, why does she have to die for me to live?”

“That, dear, is up to you.”

“Wh–wh–what?” I stuttered, as I often did when nervous or upset.

“You have the right to step aside and let her keep her life, but do not do so unless you are one hundred percent, without a doubt certain, she has conceded and you are the clear victor.”

“B–b–but I thought that was a sign of extreme weakness and that I couldn’t afford to be weak, especially on my first challenge, as there would certainly be more following.”

“There’s some truth to that. But you listen to me, Kelsey. I don’t care what others tell you. Tonight, you are being forced into our most barbaric tradition. And at the end of the night, you have to be able to walk away and live with what happens.”

“Or I’m dead and it won’t matter,” I said humorlessly.

“Don’t talk like that. I’ve prepared you well. You’re stronger than you give yourself credit. You’ll see. Christine is no match for you. So, in the end you need to do what you have to do.”

I heard a gasp behind us and turned to see Franny and Morgan coming out of Jason Westin’s office. I had met them at the pack meeting and knew they were good people. Franny’s face immediately screwed up and tears fell from her eyes.

Mary nodded solemnly as Morgan physically led her away

“What was that all about?”

“That was Franny and…”

“I know who they are, they were at my table at the pack dinner. They seemed like really nice people,

but I felt like they were shooting daggers at me just now.”

“I’m sorry, Kelsey. Franny and Morgan are Christine’s parents. They are very distraught over her challenging you.”

“Those are her parents? I–I–I hadn’t really thought about things like that. I hadn’t thought about how many others I could destroy tonight. Family’s still a new concept to me. All I have is Kyle. I’ve never had anyone else.”

“You have far more than just Kyle, Kelsey.” She hugged me tight.

Jason cleared his throat. “Is everything okay?” he asked, looking surprised to see me.

“Kyle said it would be okay if I left early to discuss a few things with you, sir.” I said, respectfully

averting my eyes.

He shook his head in frustration.

“I just asked my boss and tried to leave it at that. I promise. We’re trying to do as you asked, but this has nothing to do with that. I just had a couple things I wanted to talk to you about before tonight,

sir.”

“Very well, come on into my office.”

Mary got up and followed me as far as her husband stood.

“What did you do, Mr. Westin?”

I saw the grown man cringe before his wife. It was kind of cute and he didn’t seem so magnanimous. I politely left them and walked into his office, but with the door open and my wolf hearing, I could hear every word spoken. I wondered why they didn’t use their bond, surely they could do that, right?

“What did you do, Jason?”

“We can’t discuss it here. Come into my office or leave it be.”

They were both rigid and stoic walking in and closing the door behind them. I could only assume the room was sound proofed like those in the Westin Foundation.

“Well?” She demanded.

“I’ve asked Kyle and Kelsey to separate for the duration of the challenge period.”

“Why? You of all people know how much harder it will make things for the both of them.”

“There are things you don’t know. Things I haven’t shared with you that make it absolutely

necessary. I will not lose my son!”

I think they forgot I was in the room and I shrunk into the chair desperately wishing for invisibility. He was concerned I wasn’t going to win tonight.

“What do I not know?”
