NovelReadingElise Patrick was supposed to cby for lunch after talking to Kyle. I didn't know what my brother was up to, but something toldI should worry. It was already past two and I hadn't heard anything from either of them. I had taken to pacing my office, which I didn't like. It was stupid. They were probably just down the hall.
I decided to walk down to Kyle's office. I just couldn't take it anymore. "Hey, Kels. Are they still in their meeting?" She shrugged. "I don't know. Haven't heard from them. Kyle's working from the pack office today." "Oh," I said, sounding disappointed. "Do you know what he wanted to discuss with Patrick?" I could tell on her face that she did. "Please don't ask me. Kyle askednot to talk about it and I really don't like to go against his wishes on things like that." "It's okay. I understand," I said pathetically. "Was it good news?" I couldn't help but pry at her.

He's not answering his phone, and their meeting was five hours ago. Should it really take that long?" "No, it shouldn't have taken five hours unless they're just hanging out afterwards." "Do you think maybe he's upset?" She shrugged again. "Kyle wasn't real sure how he'd take it, but we hoped it would be good news." She suddenly didn't seem quite so confident. "I'm sorry, but it's really something you need to discuss with him, not me." "I know." I plopped down quite unladylike in one of the waiting chairs. "I wish we could communicate through our bond like you and Kyle do." Chapter 198 "It'll come, it just takes time. Remember, I'm an abomination," she half joked, causingto glare at her.
Kelsey was sentenced to death as a small child because of having extra-special powers. She's also a female alpha and the Grand Council doesn't like people like her to exist. They are too powerful and that scares them. Kelsey is very powerful with samazing skills. My dad would have died last year if it hadn't been for her extra gifts. So, maybe I'm a little sensitive where she's concerned. The whole pack is very protective of our new Pack Mother.
"Oh con," she begged. "That was funny!" "Not." I knew I had been scowling at her. I didn't like when she made comments like that.
She frowned. "Fine, but still, it will cwith tand then you'll be in here telling me, 'Kelsey, I wish he'd just shut up already. He's drivingcrazy always inside my head."" I laughed, knowing that was a very probable scenain our future.
"Hey, Kelsey, you seen E..." "Where have you been?" I asked as my mate entered her office looking for me. I jumped up and wrapped my arms around him, letting his touch calm me.
"Next time, just pick up the phone." Kelsey advised.

He stopped and gavea quick kiss and a grin. "Your mother. Need I say more?" I rolled my eyes. That really didn't surprise me. "Oh, no. I know she's been dying to get you alone. I hope it wasn't too bad." He smiled and shook his head as I chanced a look up at him. "No, it was really nice, actually. I don't have a mother of my own and barely remember her, but freshly baked cookies and a little fussing over seemed quite motherly toand felt nice. I just didn't know how to get away from her." I laughed. "You'll learn, and I'm sorry." Chapter 198 "For what?" "I never really thought about your mom. I didn't know she wasn't around." "It's okay, it was a really long tago. My parents weren't true mates. She died in childbirth with my youngest brother when I was seven." My heart broke for him. I knew a little about his life growing up, but not much.
"Hey, don't be sad for me. It's okay.
Life happens. Mine may not haven been ideal through it all, but no regrets here. I found you despite it all, didn't I?"
I I grinned and rose to my tip toes to kiss him as I closed the door to my office behind me. [That you did. Now, con. What did Kyle want today? It's been buggingall day. Is everything okay?" "Um, yeah, sure. Look it, take a seat, we need to discuss a few things. Decision tand all that mess."
I was a nervous wreck. What did that mean? I tried to clue in to his m emotions. It was still a new sensation and I wasn't always sure I was really feeling him or imagining I was. I (0)
