Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49

I couldn’t really make introductions in this form and I wasert about to shift back and have her face me down in the buff with my brother standing there. But he seemed to catch on some

“You must be the infamous, Kelsey Adams,” he spoke softly and Kindly so not to scare her

He sat down on the ground in front of her and held out his hand for her to come to him. I watched curiously. Her small, blonde fur covered body hid entirely by my contrasting dark brown one and 1 mentally noted how similar our wolf colorings were to our human hair colors. Though, while the was quite tall in human form, her wolf seemed very small in comparison. I had been so excited the one time I had seen her wolf that I hadn’t really noticed things like that

Kelsey peeked her head around me and studied Chase, still patiently waiting with his outstretched hand. She slowly went to him and nudged it with her head, giving him permission to pet her. Chase jumped back in shock as a growl escaped me, just as my alpha powers sent out a massive punch I hadn’t been aware was coming until too late. Holding his hands above his head he slowly stood up, clearly shocked by my behavior. Kelsey’s wolf cocked her head to the side in curiosity.

“Shit, Kyle! I didn’t know! I swear, I didn’t know. Does Dad know? Is this why we’ve been protecting her and letting her stay here?”

I almost shifted just to shut him up, knowing she was listening to every word. Of course, he would immediately recognize my possessive actions for what they were. I shook my head side to side, trying to convey things to him I couldn’t say at the moment, when the phone rang, I said a quick prayer he wouldn’t mention it to our siblings. I needed to explain things to Kelsey before getting them all in a frenzy over the situation. Shaking my head no even harder, he nodded and signaled he understood. I could feel her stare on me and didn’t need to look her way to know there would be plenty of questions later.

“Okay, well, you guys ready?” Chase asked, clearly over the shock and setting things aside.

I gave one nod of my head. Kelsey copied my actions and crouched low to the ground, almost lying down, but not quite. I was curious about her stance, but didn’t have time to think about it, readying myself for a much–needed run.

“Alright, let’s do this. All the way to headquarters. See you both there. Now, on your mark, get set, go!”

I launched forward and took off as a light–colored blur blew past me. Holy shit, she’s fast!I couldn’t help but be proud and awed at the same time, but my competitive drive kicked in, and I gave chase.

There was no thrill greater that I had ever experienced than chasing my mate at full speed. As we approached the first mile where I knew Elise would be waiting, I had caught up and we were neck and neck. But she started to pull away as we came to the town limits and no matter how hard I pressed forward, I couldn’t catch her.

Clearly word had gotten out, cause as we neared the town, I saw people lined up, watching and cheering us on. Kelsey faltered and slowed enough for me to catch up, and the roar of the gathering crowd grew as I passed her. That must have been enough for her to get her head back in the game because suddenly she was back by my side and pushing forward a full nose ahead of me as we rounded the third mile and headed down the long road that would lead us to headquarters.

I couldn’t help but be massively impressed that she was still side by side with me, holding her own as we approached Liam at the four–mile mark. I chanced a quick glance at her the same time she looked at me. I could have sworn she smiled. She lowered her head and it was like her speed had suddenly doubled. I pushed on as fast as I could, but there was no way I could keep up. I was staring in awe and not paying full attention as we entered the headquarters parking lot and spotted Lily waving for our attention to the side of the building. My foot caught on the speed bump as I swore in my head and went airborne. Two flips across the hard ground and I was back upright and gave it everything I had.

With my fall, Kelsey finished significantly ahead of me, but I knew she would have anyway. My legs were burning and my tongue was hanging as I gave everything I had into one final burst towards the finish. Kelsey was already well into the field behind the building, trying to slow her speed.

The crowd began gathering around us and I felt the panic rise in her. I knew they were expecting us to change back into human form and accept congratulations for her, and a whole lot of ribbing for me, but she wasn’t ready for that. I got to her as quick as I could before she ran off, and nodded for her to follow me. She kept time, staying just off my right flank as I led her into the building and down into our office.
