and it was also... cold? Kelly pursed her lip skeptically, why on earth did he sound like this? "Is something wrong?" She asked first ignoring the reason she had been so desperate to call him. The concern was evident in her voice. There was a long pause on the other side of the line, long enough that Kelly thought their connection had been severed. "I would like to see you." Ian said ignoring her earlier question. "Why? For what? And where are you?" She asked all the questions on her mind at the same time. "At the Emeralds suites. You would know why I asked you to come her when we meet. It can't be discussed on phone." He said curtly. "But is something wrong?" Kelly asked again. She wanted to know the answer to this one. Since she and Ian had been together, she had never heard or seen him talk this way. Not to her, not to anyone. He was always gentle and kind, not this cold and stiff. His voice usually gave her chills but right now she felt nothing, if not fear. "I don't know yet but you coming would determine that." He said and cut off the line leaving her confused. Kelly took a deep breath, anxiety settling within her as she thought. She didn't waste time anymore and reached for her cloth which was hanging on the stand. She hurried out of the room and out of the pack house with only one thought on her mind. What exactly was Lilith up to? ~**~ Ian Garfield sat in the VIP bar lounge of the emerald hotel and suites. This was where he always planned his meetings but today he was here for something entirely different. He had received a call, particularly from Elyse. After she told him she wanted to see him privately, he had wasted no more time before he booked a lounge at the Emeralds. Now, here he was sitting right before Elyse unable to believe what was happening. D**n, he couldn't believe it. Kelly was his mate! But how come he felt a deep connection to Elyse? Was that right? Or was this is mind playing jokes on him? "I don't believe her and you shouldn't. This bond is fake." His wolf argued within his mind but Ian shut Warrick out. He didn't like disturbances, they didn't prove useful especially in moments like this. As much as he wanted to believe Warrick , he couldn't quite deny this bond. It was the same as what he felt with Kelly, only this one was stronger, more intense and he could feel Elyse's emotions as much as he felt his own. Not that he couldn't feel Kelly's, just that this one was more intense and it was bordering on being implausible. "I don't want to believe this." He muttered to himself but it seemed Elyse had heard him as she replied. "Me either." She said with tears in her eyes. "She has never showed any interest in you before. I don't know why she would do this." Elyse lamented. If what Elyse was saying was true, then he had no choice but to do the needful and dreaded what that entailed. "It's okay. I've given her a call. I'm sure she's on her way here. We would talk about it once she arrives." He consoled her. Ian assumed a rigid composure, he couldn't afford to be swayed. He and Kelly and spent more years together and he couldn't easily believe that she would stoop as low as to forge a mate bond between them. She didn't look like the desperate one to him but then, what he felt for Elyse proved otherwise and if truly Elyse was his real mate. How come he only felt it now? Why hadn't he felt it prior. The bond he shared with Kelly was more like the flicker of a candle compared to this bond Shying away at the sight of the real deal. Now that he thought about it, his bond with Kelly was weak and it was diminishing, if that was possible. He had made his decision, he would believe in what
