NovelOnlineChapter 128 "Another round?" Liam asked after Kyle left. We spent the rest of the evening wasting away in video games. Don't getwrong, I loved playing and hanging with the guys, but I wanted stalone to both sulk at the earlier rejection, and to relish in the knowledge that I would see her in less than twenty-four hours.
"Do you have anything to eat around here?" Chase asked as his stomach grumbled.
"There's scrisps in the press," I told him.
"There's swhat in the where?" he asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI just shook my head and walked into the kitchen to grab the bag of Lay's from the cabnext to the fridge. I threw it next to him and sat back down.
"Chips. These are called chips," he informed me.
I rolled my eyes at him. "We will agree to disagree on that." We continued to play for several more hours.
"Last round. I'm wrecked. Gonna call it," I informed them halfway through our current game. It was half eight at night. I was done.
"Ohhh, you suck. You suck," Liam teased, less obnoxiously than his younger brother at the close of our final game.
I shook my head at them, suddenly sad that none of my brothers would ever teasein such a manner. The Westins were truly a great family and they treated their pack fairly and with respect. Like they treated each other. Like family.
I had been around a lot of other packs. My father had seen to it that my brothers and I knew everyone in pack leadership for nearly every pack. We had been sent out to the best camps, schools, and eventually colleges for this purpose alone. Where other future alphas went, so did we. And we all knew that one day we would battle to take one of their lives and live that life with their mate. Having smelled my one true mate, and knowing she was out there, it felt like the fear just thinking about it.
I couldn't afford to lawn chi- Chapter 128 was pissed, yeah, but I had to believe he'd get over it and acceptback to the clan when the tcame. As much as I liked the Westins, it was customary for a male wolf to find his mate and bring her back to his pack, not follow her to another pack. That could be perceived as a sign of weakness, and after the mess I had made with the challenges for Kelsey, I didn't need any more ammo pointing towards weakness.
No, I would find my mate and take her home. I sighed, looking around the cottage I had grown to love. So why did it sometimes feel like I was finally hinstead? Elise My alarm sounded at four o'clock. I turned it off and rolled over, curling the blanket up to my neck, and found my sweet spot. I had been having the best dream, and still felt pulled into that sense of lulling and comfort. I wasn't moving. I didn't want to. I closed my eyes and drifted back to sleep.
"Elise? Sweetheart, are you sick?" I stretched lazily and rolled toward the voice.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What, Mom?" I asked in a sleepy voice.
"Sweetie, it's almost noon. Kelsey just called, worried that you didn't show up for work and said you left early yesterday, not feeling well. Is everything okay?" "Hmmm," I sighed, not quite ready to face the world again. "I'm okay. Actually, I feel great. I think I just needed sleep. I'm so comfy, I don't want to move or get up." She laughed. "Okay, I'll call your brother and let him know there's to be no adulting for you today." I smiled. "Yes, that would be wonderful." "You look happy today. It warms my heart to see it."
I frowned. "I'm sorry, Mom, I never meant to worry anyone." My mother gavea knowing look. "You know, dear, I didn't handle things so well when I met you father, either." "What?" I shrieked. "Mom, it's not ..." She cutoff. "Yes, that's exactly what I thought. You've met him, haven't you?" Chapter 128 "Mom, no," I tried, but even toit didn't sound very convincing.
She laughed at me. "No sense in denying it. Moms have a way of knowing these things. Lettell you about the first tI realized your father was my one true mate. See, we had grown up together. He was an arrogant, cocky alpha's son being groomed to take over the pack someday. Nothing he did was wrong and everyone loved him. All my eighteen years of life I hated him. Everything he did madeangry. He turned eighteen only two months before me, but he tried askingout several times during that period. Needless to say, that didn't go over so well. He said later he was always drawn toand that gettingriled up had been one of his favorite pastimes." I smiled at the picture she painted and couldn't fully reconcile my loving parents as enemies. "Well, he did finally take no for an answer and found himself a girlfriend. Thankfully no one from this pack. He went off to college and I turned eighteen. When he chthat summer and I saw him for the first time, it hitlike a ton of bricks and I was pissed! Such a conflict between the pull of the bond between true mates and the history of the boy I knew. Needless to say, we had one rocky start." ☐ (0)
