My Surprise Mate

Zayd and Adrla drove us home from the hospital.

They both ended up staying for around an hour before Zayd all but carrled Adrla out the door. She Is already the best grandmother a child could ask for, and so helpful already.

Dane Is so proud to call himself dad.

I still can't belleve how easlly they have accepted Kyra Into thelr hearts, and I am so thankful for that.

Kyra does seem to prefer Dane over me though.

Isat on the couch cuddling Kyra as Dane warmed up some food hls mom had sent over to us.

My thoughts travel to everything that Is still to come.

My shift will be happening soon, and I haven't even seen or heard from Tatlana anymore.

What Is going to happen when I do shift? Is my dad, Alpha King Apollo, going to find me and try to kill me still? Or wlll he just leave me alone? I haven't done anything wrong that deserves a death sentence.

If that wasn't enough, I can't help but worry about Kaln and when he will decide to show up again. I still can't figure out why Dr.

Winters acted the way he had and what exactly did he mean? I'm not even sure what happened to him.

Come to think of It, I don't even know for sure what ever happened to Nyla elther.

Are they both helping KaIn? I hope not.

If Dr.

Winters Is helping Kaln then he has already told him about Kyra.

My anxlety continued to rise as my thoughts kept racing through my head.

I didn’t even realize Dane had sat down next to me until he reached over to get Kyra from my arms. I gently shook my head, trying to clear the thoughts, and gave him a small smile.

"What's wrong babe?”

he asked, concern dripping off his words.

How could I tell him everything I am worrled about? I don't want to say It wrong and glve him the Impression I don't trust him to the Alpha King?”

I didn’t even have time to think about what I had sald.

It just came out.

My heart was racing as my breathing became more erratic.

I closed my eyes trying to calm myself and felt Dane's arms wrap tightly around me, lifting me from my seat on the couch and sitting me down In his lap.

“I don't care what Kaln does.

No one.

I felt utterly consumed by this rage.

I closed my eyes and began taking deep breaths, trying to calm myself.

“Babe, no one Is going to ever touch her.

Take a deep breath and try to calm down.”

I opened my eyes to see Dane looking at me Intently, worry lacing his face.

Dane placed a hand on each side of my face, forcing me to meet his gaze, “I promise babe, I will dle before I ever let harm cometo ourdaughter or you.”

Deep down I knew what he was saying was true.

I could feel It In my bones.

This man In front of me was more than I could ever have asked for.

In an Instant, my rage was gone.

Looking Into Dane's eyes, I could see all the love he had for us.

I leaned forward, letting my lips crash Into his.

My hands traveled up his hard chest as he deepened the kiss.

A moan escaped my lIps as he started placing kisses down my neck.

Without any warning, Dane had grabbed the backs of my thighs and lifted me, my legs Instinctively wrapped around hls walst.

Dane gently sat me down on top of the table, his lips never ceasing thelr attack on my neck.

My hands traveled back down finding the hem of his shirt.

Dane quickly stepped back and pulled his shirt over his head.

His hands made thelr way under my shirt, leaving a trall of sparks In thelr wake.

A light knock on the front door brought us out of our moment.

With a deep sigh, he helped me off the table and made his way over to the door.

Not bothering to put his shirt back on.

“This Isn't over, babe,”

he told me as he adjusted himself before opening the door.

I smiled, knowing tonight would be good.

After having Kyra, we haven't had much time to ourselves, and I am very much looking forward to tonight with Dane.

I may not be healed enough for s*x, but there are so many other things we can stlll do.

As soon as Dane opened the front door, Blaze came bounding In, his little eyes scanning the room for Kyra.

As soon as he spotted her asleep In the living room, he quletly made his way over to her.

I watched him as he sat down next to her and smiled.

Genesls and Ash made thelr way In, “Well, tomorrow Is the big day.

Are you ready?”

Genesls questioned.

“I'm nervous ..."

Lreplled, glving her a small smile.

She walked over, wrapping her arms around me In a tight hug, “I know you are, and that Is expected, but I also know how strong you are, and you willl be okay.”

Dane and Ash were standing near the front door talking.

Both men had serlous looks on thelr faces.

I don't usually question thelr conversations or feel the need to jon In on them, but for some reason, I just had to know.

Curloslty killed the cat, as they say.

I walked over to Dane, wrapping my arm around his walst, “What has y'all so serlous?”

I questioned, looking between the two of them.

Ash cleared his throat as he looked down at the floor.

“Nothing you should worry about babe,”

Dane bent down, kissing me on the top of my head.

And just like that, I could feel the rage as It began to slowly bulld Inside me.

I took a deep breath, still not sure why I was getting mad so quickly tonight, “I won't worry.

I just want to know what's going on.

I know that you have everything under control.”

I trled to keep my anger from seeping didn’t work.

Dane pulled me close to him, “We were talking about Dr.

Winters and Nyla.

They are both being held In the silver cells.

There Is something Winters Is hiding from us, but we haven't figured It out yet.”

A fire seemed to explode Inside of me.

My whole body began to shake
