Chapter 113
Chapter 113
“Well, the Bulgarians have brought up some concerns regarding the strength of your bond to Kyle Westin.”
“I understand they are upset because he beat their challenger in battle.”
“There’s some truth to that which is why we’re trying to keep a low profile and get through this as quickly as possible.”
Another, with dark hair and a slight foreign accent spoke next. “Seems there was some hype around here these last few years about you. A little lone wolf squatting in Westin Territory. It should have come as no shock to anyone to find you mated to Kyle Westin giving the fact that you remain alive today. You are aware that no other wolf would have been granted such a privilege?”
“I’m aware now. I wasn’t at the time. As I am sure you have already heard my story. Is it confirmation you seek? Yes, I was a little girl when my parents died in an attack. I was bitten trying to escape. I turned that night for the first time. I thought I was a monster. Laugh all you want, but I had no one and knew nothing of wolf shifters. I drifted in and out of foster homes until I aged out and have kept a low profile ever since. It was sheer luck that I stumbled into this territory and learned what I am.”
Kyle, wake up, I need you!I begged to him.
“Should I have my Pack Alpha present for this?” I saw a shared look between them and knew they had hoped I wouldn’t ask.
“There’s really no reason to bother him in the middle of the night like this. I think we have our confirmation, just a quick finger prick and we’ll be on our way.”
One of them held me down by my shoulders with force as the other reached for my hand.
Ow, what the? Babe, where are you? What’s going on? I finally heard Kyle.
I don’t know what they want, they’re hurting me. I cried back.
It was then that I heard a noise from the bedroom and a loud menacing growl came through the house the same time a flash of brown fur jumped on the man behind me holding me down. I heard him scream out in pain.
Chapter 113
“Quickly, get her blood,” Omar insisted to the one holding the needle above my finger, but Kyle was fast and he was angry.
What do they want? Why are they here?
I don’t really know.
Why didn’t you wake me?
In the midst of all the chaos I know I glared at him for that comment. Don’t you think I tried?
Get behind me, I’ll hold them off and get to the bottom of this.
“Enough!” The demand came from the largest of the men. Cedric, I think his name was. His demand was punched with more alpha power than I had ever felt. My initial reaction was to stand my ground and refuse to back down to him.
Kneel. Kneel now, Kelsey. Don’t confirm their suspicions.
Against every ounce of fiber in my body I complied to my mate’s plea and submitted as would be expected of me.
“Kyle, change.” Cedric ordered.
“What is the meaning of this, Cedric?” Kyle demanded. “You barge into my home and attack my mate in the middle of the night? Is this how the Grand Council operates now?”
The man sighed, “My sincere apologies, Kyle. We were just trying to get to the bottom of things without drawing any attention which is in the best interest of us all.”
“Physically assaulting my mate is in no one’s best interest,” he growled out.
“I can see we were mistaken in our methods. A simple drop of blood and we’ll be on our way.”
“Why? Why do you want her blood?”
“A lineage test.” Omar spoke. “That is all. Kamen has requested a lineage test to see if it can be determined to which pack Kelsey’s family derived from. Nothing more.”
“It does not matter to anyone in Westin Pack where she derived, she is Westin now. Period.”
“This will all end with a simple finger prick, Kyle. Please do not be unreasonable.”
“One drop of blood, and then this is all over? You’ll leave?” I asked.
Kyle glared at me. Do not do it, Kelsey.
Why? Kyle why?
He didn’t respond and I submitted to the testing only realizing in hindsight that they distracted me before I could fully heed the warning. And with my blood in hand they left as they had said they would.
“What have you done? I told you not to give it to them.”
“Why wouldn’t I? I just wanted them gone.” I was still freaked out and shaking from the encounter with the Grand Council and now my home felt violated too.
“Because now, they have their proof,” he whispered.
“What?!?!”
“Your alpha line will run strong through your blood.”
“Why did you let me do it then?”
“Kels, they silenced me. I tried to tell you, but you wouldn’t listen.”
“Silenced you?”
“Yes, they are very powerful Alphas, they can even silence a bond. We need to call my dad and prepare our pack. Once they know what you are, they will come after us. It’s only a matter of when now.”
