PopularNovelChapter 78 So few knew Kelsey's story even still. It had been kept under wraps, and I wasn't happy that Dad was about to share with the pack, even knowing it was necessary.
"Settle down. There will be tlater to answer all your questions, and for each of you to get to know Kelsey a little better tonight at the pack meal. Right now, I just want to share a quick story of a little girl left alone in the world at the age of twelve. A wolf shifter who watched her parents die before her eyes. Who changed that snight after being bitten. Who knew nothing of our ways of life. This is Kelsey's background. It is a sad and terribly painful one, and I hope you will all respect the fact that the Council has taken things into consideration and knows her full story, tragic as it is. She is still learning our ways. I know many of you were shocked and disappointed over the last two years she has invaded our territory. I ask you to please understand, she truly did not know what she was doing. I hope you will support and welcher to this pack. No wolf should ever be alone, but especially not a young pup with no training, no guidance, living alone in the human world while hiding such an enormous secret." The room was silent. A few of the women had tears in their eyes. I knew no one would object. "Now, I'd also like to open the floor to hear any objections." Not a peep was heard, not even a whisper.

There was a round of applause. Kelsey's nerves had increased steadily through Dad's speech and even more so with being put on the spot. I could smell it in the air, acutely aware of her. And I knew that others would perceive it as fear. My mate was not comfortable being on the stage and did not know how to curb her scent yet. It took everything in my power not to rise and go to her, to shield her from the prying eyes and whispers from the curious. It wasn't any of their damn business anyway.
Feeling more and more agitated only seemed to heighten Kelsey's nerves. I had to calm down. I knew she was responding toresponding to her. It wasn't a good combination, especially in front of the entire pack. My dad glared atand I felt a slight pressure as his alpha power washed overto try and calmwhich only pissedoff more. I couldn't stop from glaring back and saw him sigh in resignation.

"We might as well get this over with. First, I urge you all, please do not mistake Kelsey's uncomfortable nervous energy, being put on the spot in front of you all with weakness. I cannot stress this enough. I have tested her myself and she is strong and not as easy prey as she may appear. Please do not underestimate her." Both of our stress levels elevated further, and I had no doubt everyone in the room was feeling it. The idea of them seeing my mate as weak prey did not sit well with me, and I knew my dad realized his mistake the moment he insinuated it.
"Jesus," he muttered under his breath, then turned to speak softly to Kelsey. "You have to calm down, Kelsey. No one will here will hesitate to challenge you with the level of fear you're producing." "It's not fear. I just don't like standing up here with everyone staring at me,” she pleaded. "And Kyle isn't helping. He's freaking out." "Just a little longer, hang in there," he said sympathetically, while turning to glare at me, but at this point I knew I wasn't controlling my emotions at all and just making the situation worse.
"Okay," he spoke back to the group, "let's just rip the Bandaid off. Kelsey Adams has taken a mate within our pack. Many of you will not be thrilled with the match, but it is important to note that this is her one true mate." I could feel the aggression rising as she-wolves all around prepared themselves for the challenge before the announcement was even made. I couldn't stand to just sit there any longer. I started to get up, and Cole Anderson, sitting next to me, quickly yankedback. I let out a low growl his way.

"Jesus, just cup here. Please everyone just tone it down a bit. The emotions, stress, and aggression in this room are not helping the situation." He looked atand nodded, "Just con up and calm yourself and your mate so we can just get through this." He didn't have to telltwice. In a flash, I was on stage and comforting Kelsey. My wolf immediately calmed, and in response so did Kelsey's as she touched me.
I didn't immediately register the shock and anger flooding the room. I didn't really care. My mate had been suffering and I had to protect her first.
