Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 79 "Settle down, settle down. There's no easy way to say it, Kyle has taken Kelsey as a mate. As his one true mate, he did not need the approval of the Council, though he did seek it.

Yeah, it may have been after the fact, but saving face and setting an example was too important for the Council.

"Yes, you heard me, his one true mate! As such, I again urge you not to underestimate her and think fully through the potential consequences of challenging her. That said, challenges will begin immediately. However, due to other extenuating circumstances, that we will not be sharing at this time, the challenge period has been lowered to only one month's time." Protests immediately set in. My father simply raised his hand until the room had quieted again. “I understand your frustration, just trustin that this was not an easy decision for the Council, but a necessary one. Notices went out to the nearest five packs this morning. Kelsey has been made aware of the challenge process and is ready to accept what may come." She stood stoically besideshowing no more fear, and nodded, glancing around the room, making eye contact with several of the she-wolves showing potential for challenges. No doubt my mother had schooled her on that.

"Now, any further pack news is clearly a moot point tonight. I will adjourn early. Kelsey and Kyle will remain up-front and you are free to cforward to show your support or opposition." He quickly adjourned the meeting and motioned for us to join him down on the floor in front of the stage.

"Well, that went splendidly," he whispered, sarcastically: "Like ripping off a Bandaid!" Kelsey smiled, using his earlier words.

"You look so much more relaxed, my dear, are you okay?" "Never better. I got this, Sir." Her confidence astounded me. She had no idea how her nerves had made her look weak in front of the entire pack. I knew it was largely my fault too, but I also suspected when she said she had it, she meant it. She was steeled and ready to except her place in my pack, by my side. The pride my and I equally felt was indescribable.

I was grateful for a familiar face. Many gave their congratulations and bared their neck to bothand my mate in acceptance. Sonly to me, and a few of the males, only to her.

When Vanessa Relic cd the entire room went still, waiting on bated breath. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that she would be the first challenge to Kelsey. She had never been discreet about her interest in me. She cup and hugged me. I heard the low rumble from Kelsey besideand saw Vanessa roll her eyes at my mate.

Vanessa congratulated me, lowered her head and bared her neck toformally. Then she turned to Kelsey.

"Simmer down. I've already told you I will not challenge you for him. I would never go against a true mate. I am sorry for how I behaved before and truly hope maybe we can even be friends someday." Kelsey hesitantly smiled and nodded to her.

Then loud gasps sounded as Vanessa lowered her head and bared her neck to Kelsey. I stood by proudly, unable to stay neutral and keep the smile from my face. Vanessa smiled at us both. Affectionately squeezed her arm, and gave her sencouragement.

"You got this, Kelsey. Just remember, no matter what happens, he's worth it. And you need any help preparing for challenges, just givea call." if This tit was Kelsey's turn to be shocked, but she also looked thankful. Whispers had turned to full out talking by the end of their transaction.

At the end of the night, ten men had not given consent and needed to be noted as potential challengers. I wasn't overly concerned with any of them. After Vanessa's submission, only three she-wolves dared not to submit to my mate. The most notable of them was Christine Canine. She was tenacious with a mean streak in her, and I knew she could hold her own in a challenge. Vanessa volunteered to talk to her and try to warn her off for me. I was thankful for her help.

With the news out and the shock waning, the pack meal took on a festive feel. Many were surprisingly supportive, not just of Kelsey's intro into the pack, but also of our mating. I was shocked at how much concern, particularly from the older wolves, my pack had over my continued bachelorhood. They were especially thrilled that I had not just chosen a mate, but indeed found my one true mate.

"How can she possibly be his true mate? It's ridiculous. They've known each other for years. That's o Deadly Games 37.5% Chapter 79 not something that just suddenly reveals itself. Shouldn't they have known immediately." Christine vocalized, close enough to draw my attention.

I couldn't stop myself from responding.

"You really think I haven't known for the last two years? There were extenuating circumstances, Christine. Do not confuse my lack of action for a lack of awareness. She is my one true mate." I (0)
