Billionaire Alpha's 99 Deadly Games

Chapter 130 The second Kyle gave the signal I shifted without even removing my clothes and took off at a full sprint, dodging bodies in my path with the ease and grace my wolf always seemed to have. It wasn't long before we were head of the pack and I knew exactly where I wanted to go. Veering north I headed into the woods, jumping over the occasional small boulder or downed tree. I splashed through the creek, delighted by the cold water under my paws. There were others all around every which way I looked, but I felt alone-completely alone.

A small hidden path up ahead would leadto my destination and I took it gracefully without disturbing the underbrush. I only slowed as dirt turned to rock beneath my feet and I stood on the edge of the cliff, overlooking the valley cloaked in darkness. Looking up at the sky, I realized for the first tthat it was also a full moon. I howled up into the beautiful night.

My howl was answered so close by that I stumbled and nearly went over the edge of the cliff. My heart racing, I turned and saw a beautiful, large, red wolf at the entrance to the path that led back to the forest. He was lying down on his stomach like he was waiting forto calm down and make the next move.

I had never felt such immense happiness as I stared into the bluest eyes I'd ever seen. Patrick. I had always imagined his eyes were green or perhaps brown. Never had I thought they would be blue. Bluer even than my own. They were beautiful and mesmerizing and I knew I would never forget them in a million years.

I walked towards him, hesitantly. His tail wagged hard with each step of my approach. And as I grew more confident his tongue even fell out to one side as he panted in obvious joy. I was doing that. I was making my mate happy and that madefeel stronger and more powerful than ever before.

I didn't know what cover me, but I strolled right up to him and licked the side of his face before jumping over him and running back through the short path into the forest. It must not have taken long for him to recover though, because he jumped on me, causingto tumble into the brush before I made the first clearing. A weird sound cfrom my wolf that sounded as though I were choking, when in reality, I was laughing so hard it was escaping through my wolf form.

It must have made Patrick nervous, as he backed off and stared before nudgingwith his nose. I tried to stand, but he growled at me. My instinct should have been to growl back, but I immediately submitted. Damn him.

He sniffed and nudgedall over until he seemed confident I was okay, then he stood back and barked, inclining his head towards the forest. I joined him by his side and we ran together for Chapter 130 time. It seemed that at every possible opportunity our wolves rubbed up against each other. I couldn't have stopped mine if I'd wanted. I knew by the end of the night I'd be carrying his scent, but also to my surprise I was thrilled to know he'd be carrying mine, too.

We ran. We played. We splashed through the water. We tracked a rabbit together. He made the kill, but nudged it forto take, and I did. I never much cared for hunting or eating raw kills, even in wolf form, but it had seemed important to him, so I ate.

Despite the woods crawling with our kind on the beautiful night of Winter Solstice, it felt as if we were entirely alone. I was grateful we never once crossed paths with my family, and I knew that there were so many black wolves similar to mine in the pack that most likely no one else would pay that much attention if they saw us together anyway. Then again, Patrick stood out with his beautiful rust-colored fur that blended in with the last remnants of fall.

Eventually, we made our way back to the boulder, which happened to be my favorite place on Earth. I suspected Patrick could sense my love of it as he led the way and I followed.

Despite having slept the day away, the night's fresh air had tired me. I couldn't be certain of the time, but e suspected it was already well past midnight, and knew the oldest and youngest of our kind had likely headed back halready. Patrick stood at the edge of the cliff looking out into the valley below, much as I had been when he foundearlier. I joined him at his side, surprised to find I fit perfectly next to him. Our bodies aligned like missing puzzle pieces. He looked down atthen up at the full moon shining brightly above, and he howled. I watched him in awe before joining him in perfect harmony. I had never imagined how beautiful howling with one's mate could be, until that moment When the moment broke, I lay down at his feet. Another sign of not just submission, but acceptance. Damn it. I had to pull it together and stop that nonsense, but while I scolded myself internally, he laid his much larger body besideand I instinctively snuggled into him. I sighed. I would just live in the moment and deal with the consequences later. It wouldn't change anything, I tried to tell myself, but in my heart I knew it was going to hurt even more in the morning to resist him.
