Chapter 94
Once safely in the car I allowed myself time to let the previous few minutes sink in. If it had been any other wolf being granted allegiance and respect at the level Kelsey was just given, the Alpha and the Council would have been furious. I wondered if those present even realized what they were doing. Her place as the future Pack Mother would allow it without contestation, but if any other wolves were around outside of Westin Pack, they certainly got a big awakening tonight and may just reconsider challenging my mate. Kelsey already had the full pack behind her and she didn’t even
know it.
I heard her sigh in the seat next to me as our home started to come into view. I reached over and took her hand. “What’s wrong, Kels?”
“Do you think I’ll ever do anything right or normal? I mean it was a death challenge and I couldn’t even get that right. Do you worry it will make me look weak in the eyes of the other she–wolves?”
“Are you kidding? Did you not see the respect you were given by our pack after the challenge?”
She sighed again. “Yes, and I’m assuming that wasn’t normal either.”
I chuckled. “No, not exactly, but it wasn’t a bad thing. We have been recognized by a large chunk of our pack as future leaders with uncontested and full willing support. Any outside wolves present tonight would have seen that and recognized the strength and power that comes with it. I mean, couldn’t you feel it flowing freely between us?”
“Is that what that was? That tingly sensation? I didn’t know. It didn’t feel like my usual power.”
“Because it wasn’t. It was our power and a sign that our bond is further strengthening.”
“What?” she sounded panicked. “Did you? Did you feel anything when she bit my leg?”
“Only a mild sensation, babe, nothing that would have hurt or killed me.” I had forgotten all about her leg. We hadn’t even had the medics look at it. I knew I needed to call one in immediately. How much pain was she still in?
“Not much, but it does probably need to be looked at,” she replied, hearing my thoughts.
After settling her in on the couch with a hot cup of tea, I called over to Mallick. His son, Micah, was the best doctor we had in town and I knew he was temporarily living back home with his parents during some home repairs at his place. I wanted to ensure he was the one that came out to check on

my
ate.
“Hello?”
“Mallick, it’s Kyle. Is Micah at home? I need him to come by and look at Kelsey’s leg. She sent the medics off to help Christine without a second thought to herself. Is he available?”
“Kelsey’s with you?” I heard the disappointed sound in his voice.
“I know, I know. Dad’s already talked to both of us about the Council’s concerns, but he also promised I could keep her with me as she heals tonight. Just tonight.” I sighed hating even thinking it.
There was some hushed muffled talking on the other end
“Kyle? Hey, it’s Micah. I’ll be over in ten.”
“Thanks, man.”
Hanging up the phone I went back to the living room to check on Kelsey. She was a little pale but otherwise looked nearly unaffected. But I knew better.
“How are you doing?”
She shrugged. “I’m okay I guess. Drained. Exhausted.”
“Well, that’s to be expected.” I tried to lighten the mood. “Can I take a look at that leg?”
She nodded and stood to remove the sweatpants she had dressed in after the challenge. As soon as she shifted I smelled the blood. I wasn’t sure how I had missed it earlier, probably just too concerned with her, but it was suddenly assaulting my senses.
She saw the panic in my eyes. “Please don’t freak out on me. I was bound to get a little beat up out there, right?” I didn’t say anything and she blurted out, “It’s better than being dead at least!”
That made me chuckle and shake my head at her. I ran and grabbed a clean rag from the kitchen and wetted it before returning to her. I carefully cleaned the streak of blood running down her leg, starting at her ankle and working my way up. Just passed her knee I came to the first source. I dabbed around trying to mop up the blood without causing her further pain. She winced, but didn’t pull away.
