Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 80

I could feel the air grow thick around Kelsey and expected a growl to escape, fearing it would only encourage Christine further towards challenge, but Vanessa of all people jumped in to save the day.

"Keep it calm, girl. Don't let her get to you. Do not show weakness. I know you, and I know what you're capable of. Let her dig her own grave."

The last part was said just loud enough to ensure Christine's attention. And although Kelsey had not managed to control growling around Vanessa since the moment they met, she breathed and relaxed and took her words to heart, no longer sensing her as a threat to us.

Kelsey

Vanessa Relic. Who would have thought I'd be so grateful for her? My wolf was agitated in the close proximity to so many shifters, especially with potential threats against my mate. I wasn't so much concerned for me, or the three she-wolves that did not acknowledge and support my mating to Kyle. I knew they were potential threats for challenge, but I was far more concerned for Kyle as there were a lot more males that did not give consent.

Christine Canine. She could be a problem. I could feel she would be a tough competitor, but I knew I was stronger. She may have been trained longer, but she was not a born alpha she-wolf. I knew from the brief discussion with Kyle and his dad that it was something I needed to control and hide.

Still hiding. I had thought maybe I could have a normal life. Finding out that Kyle and the others in San Marco were just like me was like a dream come true, and then yet another curse and more secrets. Why did I have to be different even amongst equal.monsters? Life just didn't seem to want to give me a break. The stories of the young girls being hunted and killed were giving me nightmares, though, I didn't want to admit them, even to Kyle. I did everything I could in my waking hours to keep my fears about it from him.

I knew Vanessa had felt my alpha powers. She was accepting them and had been gracious not to mention them outright, though she had hinted on several occasions now. What would happen if I slipped up and released that power on Christine? What if the pack found out and demanded I be turned over to the Grand Council? Those thoughts terrified me. Yet without my alpha powers, I was weak against the likes of Christine and other she-wolves who may challenge me. My only relief was that I had thus far managed to keep everything from Kyle's mom and sisters. Well, I knew Elise, and maybe even Lily, suspected because they knew what I had done to Vanessa, but they were good to never mention it, and if I was using it as an unfair advantage in fighting, I think they would point it

out to me.
