Chapter 59
I nodded, “Sure, anything.”
“What happened with you and Vanessa earlier today?”
I sighed and sat down in a chair, feeling deflated
“What did she tell you happened?”
“I need to hear your side first.”
“I don’t even know, E. She just kept pushing at me, telling me I wasn’t good enough, I was wasting my time, she could see right through me, on and on until I just sorta snapped. I didn’t touch her, if thats what you’re thinking. And she growled at me first!”
“What exactly were you arguing about? That part was never clear talking to her.”
I know my face was ten shades of red because she raised one eyebrow at me, becoming more
curious.
“Kyle.” I finally spit out.
To say she was shocked was an understatement. Then she laughed.
“Thanks, yeah, sure, go ahead, laugh it up. She thinks she has some kind of monopoly of him and was trying to threaten me away. Me! What have I ever done to her?”
Elise was still laughing and trying to get control of herself when she wheezed out, “Kyle? My brother? You were threatening her over my brother? I didn’t even think you really liked him. I mean, yesterday I guess I might have wondered, but it seemed more one sided on his part than
yours.
“What are you talking about?”
“Never mind. Look, you haven’t, uh, how do I put this? You’ve never been intimate with Kyle.
you?”
I think I may have found several newly defined shades of red across my face.

“No, no, Kelsey, I’ll just come out and ask Have you had sex with Kyle
“WHAT?!17 of course not. Why would you even ask such a dong?
Elise shrugged, grinning. “Honestly, Kels, it wouldn’t be that shocking He’s crazy about your

But oh yeah, I thought to myself, I wanted to very possibly. I brushed the thought.
surfaced. This was insane.
as fast as it
“Okay, well, I was just asking because Vanessa is convinced you used alpha powers on her
I laughed, “How would that even be possible? She wolves don’t have alpha powers. You know that”
She nodded, “That’s why I asked about Kyle. It would be a really tiny possibility, but if you two had mated….. which is more than just sex, but we’ll get into that when Lily arrives… then you could, in theory, pull power from his alpha line. It’s rare and usually only fully bonded mates can do it, bu that would almost be better than the alternative.”
She seemed to chew on that thought, but I didn’t know what she was getting at
“What alternative? What are you talking about?”
“I’m talking about the possibility that you could be an alpha she–wolf.”
“I can’t be. Kyle said they are very rare and killed as very young pups the moment their powers
show.”
“That’s true, but there are some cases where people have tried to smuggle them away or hide their powers from the Grand Council.”
“Seriously?”
“Yes. The most recent count I know was a set of triplets, identical she–wolves. They lived to be and were supposedly the most adorable, most manipulative and powerful little she wolves ever documented. Too much of a threat, so the Grand Council had them sentenced to death. The family tried to escape. The first was caught and killed immediately. The second was injured trying to escue
her sister, but the parents escaped with the third. It was several years before they were tracked down and killed too. But the point is, it’s possible. What if that’s why you had no pack? Why your parents told you to be scared of the wolves? And why you never knew what you truly were?”
“Clive, that’s insane. I’m a nobody. There’s nothing special or powerful about me. You know me.”
“Maybe. Regardless, you can’t mention this to anyone. I’ve already got Vanessa convinced she’s headed to the looney bin, so just steer clear of her. I don’t think she’ll bother you again. You really freaked her out.“I was about to address it, when the door flew open and Lily walked in. “We’ll figure out the rest later. Not even Lily” She whispered to me, her eyes conveying the importance of it.
KYLE
The Crate was the only bar in town. I couldn’t stop her from going even if it unsettled my wolf. Sally Merchant was good people, and she was happily mated for nearly twenty years. She was a good friend to have and I couldn’t dissuade Kelsey from that.
Prise
I hadn’t seen her since the morning. I knew she was agitated and not happy about Vanessa’s
growled visit. I only hoped that I was able to put a stop to her advances once and for all My wolf had in warning when she tried to physically attack me right there on the couch in my office. How many times had I dreamed of claiming Kelsey there? I shuddered. That dream was officially ruined now.
