NovelOnlineChapter 46 I couldn't help feeling ashamed at how I'd reacted. Kyle made a move towardsbut I held up my hands.
"Please, just givea minute." The hurt evident on his face at my words and actions felt like physical pain to me.
It made no sense and my head was spinning as my new reality sunk in.
Taking a deep, cleansing breath, I nodded to him. "Okay, I'm okay now." "You were so fast, Kels! I've never seen a shifter move so fast, especially in human form. Wow!" Lily sounded super excited and impressed. "Can I clock your speed in wolf form? I'm dying to know if you're faster than Kyle." "He holds the fastest recorded speed in the Westin Pack," Elise filledin. "And he's third fastest amongst all documented wolves throughout history," she proudly exclaimed.
I looked at Kyle, but he just kinda hung his head in slight embarrassment. It was clear how proud of him his sisters were and it was kind of cute seeing him so humbled by them.

"And Kyle's at sixty-three last count," Lily was quick to add.
I looked at him, "Only sixty-three miles per hour?" I faked shock. "Bet I could take you." He perked up and looked at me. One eye brow slightly raised higher than the other. "You're on." I loved the mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Lesson one, Kelsey," Lily said with an exasperated sigh, "do not ever issue a challenge to another shifter that you aren't serious about, not even in jest. Man, you have so much to learn!" "Kyle, back off, please," Elise said.
21.5% Chapter 46 "No, I understand, lesson one is on, let's go," I told him lifting my chin to him in defiance.
"Ahhh! Kelsey! Lesson two, looking another wolf directly in the eyes and holding that stare is a direct challenge." "But you said I already made the challenge and I said, OK, so what's the big deal?" I didn't understand what she was trying to say.
"It's more than that, Kels," Elise tried to more calmly cluein, “Kyle is an alpha wolf, not just any alpha, he'll one day take over as Pack Alpha. He's not someone you can just stare down. The respectful thing is to avert your eyes at the very least. I can't even believe you can actually stand to hold his stare for that long. Your wolf should be screaming at you to look away." "Look away? If Kyle stared back atthat hard, I'd be baring my neck in a heartbeat!" "Baring your neck? What does that mean." "Here, I'll demonstrate." I watched as Lily walked down the stairs, suppressing the territorial demands of my wolf as she cto the bottom of the steps. Instead, I looked over to Kyle as he made eye contact with her. It was very brief before she dropped her head and averted her eyes, then turned her head to the right, exposing her neck to him.
"That's a full act of submission," Elise explained.
"The wolf in the woods did that." I said more to myself than anything remembering how I had copied them in wolf form.
"Try it," Lily encouraged.
I hesitated, and saw Kyle nod his head towards the stairs. I waited until she was back up, out of my den, before I walked over and attempted to mirror what Lily had done. But I knew he was staring atstill and I couldn't help but look. It was like I was drawn to his eyes and couldn't look away. I bared my neck and heard his slight intake of breath from the action, but his pupils dilated and I kept his stare.
"No, you're not supposed to be looking at him while you do it." Lily instructed. I burst out laughing.

"It's okay, Kelsey, you're doing fine," Kyle assuredafter having been quiet for quite stime. "How about you? If you're the great alpha, do you ever have to bare your throat to anyone?" "On formal occasions, I do to my father and members of the Grand Council when they travel here, but only for formality purposes," he informed me.
I really did have a lot to learn! "And someday, we hope, to his mate, if there's anyone out there who can actually put up with him, and if he's ever lucky enough to actually find her," Lily piped in.
The look Kyle shot her to shut up did not go unnoticed by any of us. And I had to fight my wolf to maintain control. I didn't understand what they were talking about, but it clearly made my wolf very angry, and I had to bite my lip to keep from growling at her.
"Mate?" I couldn't resist asking when I felt scontrol coming back and noticed him pale a bit at the question, makingeven more interested in the answer.
