Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 73

"Gentleman," my father interrupted, "we have a bit of a sensitive situation here. And this is, as always, in complete confidence of the Council. As you know, Kyle has been quite vocal about allowing the lone she-wolf trespassing on our land to stay. Not just stay but left alone. Kelsey's been here for more than two years and has finally come forth and relayed her story to me. It's a hard one to hear, and my heart goes out to the girl, but Kyle's protection of her throughout this time has been entirely selfish in nature."

That got a few mumbles and whispers.

"That's not exactly news to any of us single wolves, sir. Kyle's marked his scent around her property and been in more than one scuffle over her."

I snorted, yeah, that's true, but then Dad and the rest of the Council had been entirely unaware of that, so I gave him a half-hearted glare thanking him for ratting me out. It just made him laugh again. He was certainly enjoying me being in the hot seat.

"Kyle, while you youngins may not be surprised by it, I can assure you there will be plenty of pack members upset that you've chosen this particular she-wolf. And she would need to be properly prepared for challenges before you dive in and do something crazy. As always, we, the Council, would like the opportunity to meet with her and trial her to verify she is indeed a compatible mate for you. In the meantime, we'd ask that she be reassigned to a new office and you keep your distance from each other. If you are certain, we'll move through the process as efficiently as possible."

Another growl escaped as my wolf grew agitated.

"I'm sorry Saul, but that will not be possible."

They certainly were not happy with my blatant defiance

"Kelsey Adams is my mate. My one true mate. This is not a matter of compatibility."

Their disappointment quickly turned to shock.
