Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 207

"Bulgarian," I said, watching shock, fear, and anger simultaneously register. "We'll be watching you especially close."

A low growl came from him, but he turned and stomped off with the others.

The good thing about the North Pass is that it was literally that, a pass. A steep mountain that sloped down to the valley on one side and a rock face comprised the other. It was thirty feet long and about five feet wide, just enough to comfortably walk it in single formation. Side by side was possible, but could be scary as hell. Just on the other side of the pass it opened up, and I knew they could find a

place to camp.

I shifted to my wolf form and walked over to the pass. About ten yards in I could just see around to the entrance on the other side. I dropped to the ground with a huff and knew it was going to be a long night. Elise's soft fur snuggled into my side. I looked at her and she grinned, giving me a big sloppy kiss across my nose. The noises that followed from her were kind of creepy, but I knew it was her laughing through her wolf.

While my mate tended to be more serious and guarded in human form, her wolf was extremely playful, carefree, and affectionate. I had caught glimpses of that personality in Elise too, when she let her guard down. I longed for the day that her guard stayed permanently down. We were making progress, but I still felt like there was a part of her that she held back from me.

She settled down and went fast to sleep as I kept watch.

As the sun began to crest through the trees, I stirred at a nearby noise. A snap of

a twig had me jumping to my feet with a menacing growl. I had fallen asleep. Elise was still sound asleep on the ground next to me as if she were completely unaffected by anything in the world. So peaceful.

The sound of approaching footsteps had my wolf baring his teeth as a low rumble shook through my

chest.

"Whoa, boy. Whoa!" Jack said as he stumbled back a few steps.

I shifted. "Bloody hell, Jack, what are you doing here?"
