Chapter 133
A shudder of recognition ran through my body when she said Elise. I had never heard the name before, but something about it resonated through me.
Liam laughed, “E? Not a chance. Don’t you think we’d know if it was her?”
“True, so then there’s Kendra. Yeah, Kendra’s shy and keeps to herself a lot, I’d totally bet it’s her!
Can I come along and introduce you?”
“No,” I said again in unison with Liam’s, “Sure.”
Of course she tagged along.
The three of us piled into Liam’s SUV and headed off to meet Kendra. Pulling up in front of a pink rancher, I got out and took one sniff and decided this was not her. I tried to get back in the car, but Christine’s arm was linked through mine.
“Not so fast, just to be sure, I think you should meet her at least.”
Introductions were made, confirming Kendra was definitely not my mate. This set the stage for the
remainder of the day. After our list was complete, Christine had pretty much taken over. I met
fourteen additional single she wolves. None of them were my mate. Half of them didn’t even fit the
description.
I was irritated and exhausted by the time Liam finally dropped me home.
My phone rang and Kyle’s face flashed across the screen. I didn’t want to answer it. “Hello?”
“Liam told me it didn’t go so good today. I’m really sorry. I truly had hoped this would be the day
you found her.”
“Thanks. I’m not ready to give up yet.”
“Have you tried tracking her?”
“Of course I have.”
“I mean truly give in to your wolf? Kelsey had no idea who or what she was, but when she’d let her

wolf out, she always found me. She had no idea I was a wolf shifter, but her wolf just knew. Might be
worth a try.”
“Yeah, sure, can’t be any worse than today. Your entire pack of eligible she–wolves now has word I’m
on the hunt for my one true mate and every one of them seems to think she could be it. Don’t they
realize that the one and only would know, just as I do?”
Kyle laughed through the line. “Don’t sweat it. They all want their one true mate. That’s all. Grasping
at straws and all that.”
I didn’t exactly understand what he was saying but I thought I got the gist of it at least. Grasping at straws? Sometimes I swore they spoke a different language entirely.
Sheer exhaustion helped me sleep through the night and I felt more refreshed and ready to do
whatever it took to find her by morning. Heeding Kyle’s suggestion, I grabbed a backpack and threw
in a change of clothes. I set it on the ground then shifted, grabbing the bag with my teeth and
carrying it with me. I didn’t want to surprise my mate with a first time meeting in the buff.
I sniffed the air. I sniffed the ground. I closed my eyes and just gave in to my senses. Soon I was running. I ran through town and kept going. I came to the Westin Foundation and sighing, I shifted and changed into the clothes I had brought along.
I decided since I was there I might as well say hello to Kyle and admit yet another failure in my
search. As I walked into the Foundation, I was floored. Her scent was everywhere. It was so strong and prominent. Could she really be there?
I walked to the front desk. “Kyle Westin’s office?”
“Down the hall to the right, it’s marked, you can’t miss it,” said the pretty brunette receptionist.
“Thanks.”
“Anytime.” She smiled and I thought maybe she was flirting with me, but my mind was so consumed by my mate’s smell that nothing else mattered.
As I was walking in the direction she told me was Kyle’s office, I passed an area marked “HR.” Her scent was even stronger, if that was possible. My nose carried me forward. There were three doors and a small reception area, but no one was around. The door directly beyond the reception desk was hers. I knew it was hers. There was no doubt in my mind that my mate was there. I started to move forward, unable to stop myself.
“Patrick?”

I turned and saw Lily smiling at me. “Patty told me a handsome stranger was looking for Kyle. I
should have known.”
I gave her a smile, all the while needing to know exactly who was just beyond the door. So close, and
yet so out of reach.
“This is Human Resources, he’s three doors down. Come on, I’ll show you.”
“Okay,” I said hesitantly. “Thanks.”
I thought it was best if I approached Kyle and not alert Lily to my find. She was a sweet girl and fun
to hang out with, but this was personal, so I let her lead me down the hall to Kyle’s office.
“Hey Kels, look who I found wandering the halls,” she said as we entered the office.
“Hi, Patrick. Let me check and see if he’s free for a few. If not, I’m sure Lily can give you a tour of the place while you wait. This is your first time at the Foundation, isn’t it?”
