Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 187

We headed out to my favorite overlook and watched the sun rise. A light snowfall had covered the ground throughout the night, but it only added to the magic for

us.

Heading home, we didn't bother to dress before falling exhausted into bed. As I started to drift off to sleep, I grabbed my phone, and shot a text to Kyle and Liam, letting them know I wouldn't be in the office, then snuggled into my mate's awaiting arms and fell fast asleep.

Date night had certainly been a success. I had been shocked when Elise had told me she was ready to complete our mating. It had been nothing like I had imagined it would be, but I cannot think of one thing I would have changed about the night. From start to finish, everything was perfect.

I looked over at my beautiful mate asleep in the bed next to me. The need to protect and love her was overwhelming me. I thought the feelings would subside after the bites, but it seemed to escalate instead. I made a mental note to ask Kyle about it as I got up and made my way into the kitchen. I was famished and I knew my mate would be too when she awoke.

I pulled out bacon, eggs, toast, hash browns, and pancakes and started cooking. I wasn't a great cook. Hell, I wasn't even a good cook, but I could fix a fine

breakfast. They didn't have everything I'd like for a proper Irish breakfast, but this would certainly do nicely.

I knew the moment Elise woke. I didn't quite know how to explain how I knew, I just knew. It was like I could feel her waking up. It was one of the earliest signs of a bond strengthening and it made me downright giddy in excitement to feel that connection to her.

"Oh my gosh, that smells amazing. I'm starving," she said, entering the kitchen. I quickly noted she hadn't bothered to dress. I suspected clothes were going to be optional around here unless company was expected. I knew I'd never tire of seeing my mate naked, so it was fine by me. I had tossed on a pair of gym shorts out of courtesy, without bothering with underwear. It was good to know I needn't bother in the future.

She sat at the table, pulling her knees up to her chest and watching me, grateful for the cup of steaming hot coffee I set before her. I dished out our plates even knowing I put too much on hers,

home. I had taken to heart what Elise had said about telling him about the human faction watching us. I already knew there was nothing I would ever hide from my mate, so I did not expect him to keep this from his mate either. He invited us over for dinner. Looking at the clock, that was only an hour away. I didn't tell him we had just woken and had breakfast. As my friend, I knew he'd understand. As Elise's brother, I
