Chapter 91 Dad was waiting forbelow the council pavilion. We shook hands and he ledup the stairs. I had never stood on the council pavilion. Only the Council, and during challenges, the mate of the challenged wolf stood on the pavilion. I would have been happy to never set foot up here if it meant keeping Kelsey alive, but I couldn't think like that and I fought against our bond to keep my thoughts to myself. Dad had been true to his word and only he and I were in the pavilion. I looked out across the great circle as the surrounding seats filled.

I knew Kelsey was close, and I desperately needed to see her.

Kelsey We were expected to walk out in human form. There would be sformal ceremony or at least words spoken. I'd have to shake hands with Christine, something about humanizing the process more. Then I'd have to shift in front of everyone. I wasn't about to stand there naked in front of the entire pack, so I decided to wear an old outfit that I didn't mind shredding to pieces. I gathered that wasn't entirely normal, but it would have to do. My shifts had strengthened and were now instantaneous. Maybe it would shock her enough for a small advantage.

I had been a nervous wreck all day, but more so since Kyle and I said our goodbyes. I couldn't let myself believe it might be the last tI got to touch him. Sadness washed overas I gave myself a pep talk, trying to just get through it all.

I was as ready as I was going to be. Mary had stayed withthrough the afternoon up until the point she deliveredto the small wooden room at the back of what I knew was the pack circle. Basically, it was an outdoor arena where they held pack meetings sometimes and where formal ceremonies, including challenges were held. This room was like the waiting room and I knew it would open directly into the floor of the arena.

I didn't like the little room. It felt like a cage and made my wolf stir.

"It won't be long, Kels. Deep breaths and try to relax. No need to get worked up right now. Save your frustrations for the challenge." I sighed relaxing just a bit at my mate's words. Kyle always knew exactly what I needed to hear and I was so thankful that he was not blocked fromas I knew he would be during the actual fight. A fight to the death seemed ridiculous and barbaric to me, especially in this day and age, but that's what I'd have to do if I wanted to live and wanted to protect my mate. And I would do absolutely anything necessary to keep Kyle.

43.1% Chapter 91 I heard the chuckle through the bond before he spoke toagain. "You keep that thought with you, babe, and you're going to do just fine." I was laughing when the door in front ofopened at last. I stood still allowing my eyes to adjust to the bright light outside the dark waiting room. Then I stepped forward feeling lighter and not as scared as I should be. I ignored the presence of another wolf to my right as I stepped forward to the middle of the arena as Mary had taught me. I remembered to hold my head high and as my eyes scanned the stands for Kyle, I couldn't stop the beaming smile on my face when I finally saw him. He winked atand I momentarily forgot where I was. When Jason's voice boomed out across the circle, reality set back in. I was Kelsey Adams. I was a born alpha she- wolf. My mate was Kyle Westin. I would do whatever it took to protect myself and my mate. Nothing else mattered. I took a deep breath and I smelled her. Christine Canine. My challenger. A threat to my bond. A threat toand a threat to my mate. I smelled a slight fear mixed with her scent. It was enough to energize my wolf. I didn't hold back the guttural growl that escapedand rejoiced in her heightened scent of fear.

"Christine, do you on this day challenge Kelsey in the mating challenge rights for the mating of Kyle

Westin?" I saw Kyle shake his head no, then from my peripheral vision saw and even felt the determination and hurt as her chin raised a little higher solidifying her resolve.

"I do." She said loudly.

I felt an excitement grow in the air.

"So it shall be. Kelsey. Christine. Please face each other." We did as he asked. "Shake hands in acknowledgment and acceptance of the challenge." We did, then turned back to face Jason as I refused to meet her eyes, not yet at least. "You will not shift until I tell you to, do you understand?" We both nodded as he addressed the crowd. "Mating is a sacred event amongst our kind. And strong mates make strong packs. Kyle and Kelsey have chosen to mate and as it is written, any single she-wolf may challenge her for her mate and her place in the pack. Christine has done just that. This is a fight to the death. There are no rules and there is to be absolutely no assistance or disruptions to the challenge fight. Is that understood?" I (0)
