Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 202

The men rose and each in turn shook my hand. If I was honest, it was the most accepted I'd ever felt in my entire life, aside from Elise, of course. I felt like I had finally found my place.

"There's more, so settle it back down. There will be plenty of time to celebrate tonight at the pack run. Patrick, as part of the trials, you are invited to join us at the pack house for dinner followed by the run tonight," Kyle informed.

"Thank you," I said.

"Now, Patrick and Cole, please join me up front." He paused, giving us time to get in place. "Next on the agenda. A special council meeting was held this week to discuss the reinstatement of the Beta program. I'd like to formally introduce my first two candidates, Cole Anderson and Patrick O'Connell. Of course, Patrick's final acceptance will be contingent upon his completion of the trials."

"And surviving the challenges," Cole pointed out.

I cringed as images of fighting Niall to the death made my stomach roll.

"You nervous about the trials?" Quinton questioned, reading my unease. "It's quite likely you won't even receive any challenges from within Westin and we only submitted notice to the nearest three packs. After what Kyle and Kelsey went through and the disagreement with the Bulgarians, I really wouldn't expect much to come of it, especially with Kelsey expecting a child."

"And the Clan," I said.

"What?"

"The Irish Clan. My banishment came, officially, after the notice of mating was released. Likely because of it even. Because it was my pack at the time, they too were notified. My da's sending my brother Niall to challenge me and make up for my failure to the Clan. I've already been notified."

The room was silent.
