My Surprise Mate

I woke up tangled in Dane.

His arms wrapped around me in a bear hug and one of his legs draped over mine, pinning me to the bed.

I wiggled slightly, trying to free myself without waking him.

“Be still..." he said gruffly.

I laughed, “I need to get up!” I squealed as his fingers started tickling my sides, “I have to pee!” He has never let go of me so fast.

Dane was up and getting dressed when I came out of the bathroom, “So can you please explain why Blaze's behavior isn't normal?” He pulled his shirt over his head as he sighed, “I have Ash and Genesis meeting us in my office to talk about it.” He waited in the living room for me to get dressed. I opted for some leggings and a form-fitting long sleeve shirt.

I usually wear baggy shirts and this one showed my small baby bump.

I pulled my long brown hair into a messy bun before walking into the living room, feeling a little self-conscious.

Dane's eyes lit up as a smile spread across his face, “I love it,” he said as he rubbed my belly.

“You don't think I should change into something a little looser fitting?” He shook his head, “No! I want everyone to know that my spoke, giving my confidence a much-needed boost.

"Don't forget we are having the ceremony tonight.” He told me as we walked hand in hand to the packhouse.

The thought of it made me nervous.

Dane squeezed my hand, “Don't worry, everyone will love you.

I will introduce you to the pack as my mate and their Luna.

They will come up to meet you and then we will eat and dance.

I took a deep breath of the cool air as I walked outside, letting it wash over me.

I walked slowly, watching the other people.

A large group in an open field caught my attention.

I stopped to watch them; they seemed to be fighting.

This must be the warrior training I keep hearing about.

I was impressed, to say the least.

These people were good.

Astrong grip on my arm brought me out of my trance as I was spun around, “You let him mark you? Really?” Nyla sneered at me.

"You've just destroyed this whole pack..what do you think is going to happen to Dane when Alpha Kain comes for your ass?” I looked at her in shock.

How the hell does she know about Kain? “Nothing is going to happen to him.

He's a lot stronger than Kain ever thought about being.” I because I was angry.

I don't know.

Nyla looked taken back, not expecting me to say anything, “Oh Alpha Dane won't even know you're gone until it's too late, and once you have that mutt, you'll be dead.

Hopefully, your death won't kill Alpha Dane, but if you really are his fated mate, then it will

He should have thought twice about marking a weak human bitch...” Nyla was knocked off her feet but quickly jumped back up.

Little Blaze stood in between me and Nyla now.

I reached down, grabbing his arm, trying to pull him behind me, “Blaze, come here.” I told him, trying to get him out of her reach.

He wouldn't listen to me.

Nyla scoffed as she took another step forward, “You better go play pup, don't want you getting hurt.” she looked down at the little blonde-haired boy.

An older lady came running up, stopping beside Blaze, “ You won't touch him.” the old lady growled out, “you know the Alpha would have your head for hurting a child, not to mention what Beta Ash or Genesis would do to you first.” Before anyone could say anything else, Blaze had knocked Nyla to the ground again.

I had to give the little boy credit; he was fast.

A growl loud enough to rattle the packhouse windows erupted, bringing everyone outside to out the back door, a look of shock on both their faces.

Genesis ran by them, straight towards us, grabbing Nyla by her hair and pulling her to her feet. Nyla, fueled by embarrassment and anger, swung at Genesis.

Genesis was fast though, blocking the punch and landing one of her own, knocking Nyla unconscious.

"Don’t.

Ever.

Threaten.

My.

Son.” She growled out, standing over Nyla.
