Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164

The room spun and my world came crashing in around me. I sat down hard and defeated.

“She told you that?”

“No, she said enough, though.” He paused and I didn’t want to hear the next words from his mouth. “Pat, I think it’s time you went home.”

“Kyle, I can’t. You know that. I just found her, and maybe it wasn’t the greatest start, but we’re getting there. She’s coming around, you’ll see.”

“You failed to protect your mate.” His words felt like a punch to the gut, knocking all the breath from me. “She’s my sister, Patrick. How could you let this happen? I know what the mating call feels like. I don’t understand how you could let this happen.”

Everything inside me hardened into darkness. Kyle Westin couldn’t possibly understand something like this. Through gritted teeth I tried to explain.

“You can’t possibly understand how it feels to wake up to an empty bed with no idea where your mate is. To be told over and over that she didn’t want you, that she chose to leave. To see her feet on surveillance flailing out in fight before going limp as you watch helplessly as she’s tossed into the back of a van, unsure if she’s dead or alive. To be told to sit and wait for others to come to her

rescue. I pray you never know what that feels like.”

I could see the pain and even a little sympathy in his eyes as I moved for the door. I couldn’t take it

“Patrick, I’m not sure she’s ever going to take you as a mate, but for now, I need you to leave. It was wrong of me to let you stay in Westin territory. You have twenty–four hours. I’m sorry, but it’s for the

best.”

In that moment, with all the stress of the preceding days, I wanted to fight him more than ever, but I

held back.

“Best for who?” I asked through gritted teeth.

“My sister.”

I slammed the door behind me and ignored all protests at my back as I left the house. The second I

was outside I shifted, clothes be damned. I had always had the classic Irish temper. I just did a better job of hiding it than my siblings, but that additional beast inside gnawed at me to be free. I ran and I ran until the hate and anger subsided and I felt slightly more in control before returning to my

empty cottage.

Chase was waiting on my back porch.

“Go home,” I said, after shifting and walking past him into the house.

“You’re not just going to leave, right?”

“Chase, you’re young, you don’t understand. I failed to protect to my mate. I don’t deserve her. Your

alpha has issued my banishment. I have no choice but to leave.”

“Without even fighting for her?”

I cringed.

“I didn’t mean that, and no one else sees what happened as your failure to protect her. Dude, you

saved my sister.”

I shook my head. “Doesn’t matter.”

“Where will you go?” He sounded genuinely concerned.

“I don’t know.” I hadn’t let that part sink in yet. I truly had nowhere to go.

“Will your dad take you back?”

I shook my head no. The kid was clearly getting upset. “Don’t worry about me. I’m a survivor. I’ll figure something out.” I hugged him. “You should go.”

He had tears in his eyes and his head down as he left. “You have my number if you need anything. I

don’t care what Kyle says about it. You need anything, you call.”

I nodded, feeling overwhelmed with emotions.

“Take care, Pat.”

Then he was gone and I was more alone than I’d ever been in my entire life.
