Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Patrick was supposed to come by for lunch after talking to Kyle. I didn't know what my brother was up to, but something told me I should worry. It was already past two and I hadn't heard anything from either of them. I had taken to pacing my office, which I didn't like. It was stupid. They were probably just down the hall.

I decided to walk down to Kyle's office. I just couldn't take it anymore. "Hey, Kels. Are they still in their meeting?"

She shrugged. "I don't know. Haven't heard from them. Kyle's working from the pack office today."

"Oh," I said, sounding disappointed. "Do you know what he wanted to discuss with Patrick?"

I could tell on her face that she did. "Please don't ask me. Kyle asked me not to talk about it and I really don't like to go against his wishes on things like that."

"It's okay. I understand," I said pathetically. "Was it good news?" I couldn't help but pry at her.

She sighed. "You're not going to let this go, are you?"

"I just want to know what's going on. Patrick was supposed to come by for lunch, but I haven't heard anything from him. He's not answering his phone, and their meeting was five hours ago. Should it really take that long?"

"No, it shouldn't have taken five hours unless they're just hanging out afterwards."

"Do you think maybe he's upset?"

shrugged again. "Kyle wasn't real sure how he'd take it, but we hoped it would be good news." She suddenly didn't seem quite so confident. "I'm sorry,
