Chapter 83

Kelsey's position as future Pack Mother of the Westin Pack made her an easy target for challenges. I was more than a little shocked that someone hadn't already stepped up and issued her a challenge. I wasn't as surprised that no one from within my pack had challenged me, though I thought the chances of someone from outside the pack was highly likely. The Westin Pack was one of the biggest and strongest in existence and anyone who challenged and defeated me would stand to take over as next in line as Pack Alpha. It was a unique position that put me in potentially grave danger.

Earlier in the day I had a meeting with Cole Anderson. It had not gone unnoticed by me that he had not given his consent to my mating of Kelsey and I confronted him on it. After much discussion, I was both relieved and pissed by his thinking. He had told me that he would not challenge me directly, but that he would not consent on the chance that I was challenged and defeated. He made it

very clear that he would challenge my victor for Kelsey to keep the Westin Alpha in pack. I couldn't argue his thinking, but the thought of him and Kelsey together was driving me nuts and making it hard to focus on anything.

A knock at the door jolted me out of my thoughts.

"Mr. Westin?" Kelsey peeked her head in. I grinned and shook my head at her determination to keep

everything normal and professional at work. "Your father is here to see you."

Dad? A feeling of dread immediately settled into my gut. We didn't have plans that I could think of,

which meant he had to be there for pack business, or worse to give me a heads up on an upcoming

challenge.
