My Surprise Mate

I was a little surprised to hear him offer to stay.I mean we don't even know each other beyond formalities.

"Won't your girlfriend or wife get pissed about you babysitting another girl?"

I swear I don't know what has gotten into me.I'm usually never this outspoken and here I am being a smartass to aman that could literally break me like a twig. felt a twinge of pain at the thought of him being with another girl. That's weird.

He chuckled, "I guess if I had one, they probably wouldn't like it much.” Wait, he's single? I couldn't help but wonder why.This man was drop-dead gorgeous and could probably have any girl he wanted drooling at his feet Wonder what's wrong with him?

"Anger issues?" I assumed out loud.

Lord help me keep my mouth shut.

"I'm sorry... don't know what the hell has gotten into me.l swear I'm usually not like this.”

I was becoming embarrassed about the fact I couldn't seem to keep my thoughts to myself, and my mouth shut.

My stomach chose that moment to rumble loudly, causing my cheeks to deepen even more can make myself a sandwich or something, it's okay.

I stood up making my way to the kitchen.l wasn't scared anymore, Dane seemed to have that effect on me.

Dane's hands grabbed me around my waist, sending shock waves through my entire body, and gently set me down on one of the barstools.

"Umm...well I haven't decided for sure yet, but either an elementary teacher or counselor, something with kids.l want to help kids somehow."

I took a big bite of my burger, "mmm this is so good." I told him as I took another bite.

He chuckled softly, "tell me about this ex of yours? What's his name?" his tone was more serious than before. And with that my anxiety started flooding through me.

Dane sat eating his burger patiently waiting for me to answer him. There is no way he could know Kain, so it doesn't matter, I convinced myself.

"So, I met him at the diner I worked at. already knew of him.He's the town’s playboy.At first, he was really nice.Well, when it was just me and him anyway.We dated for about two months.He was my first boyfriend.”

I paused thinking about Kain, "honestly he was my first everything.”

I cleared my throat deciding what to say next.

"Once I finally decided to give myself completely to him is when everything changed.One time.That's all it was...one even a second of my time.l looked at Dane as I wiped my face, pulling myself back together, "he told me after, that he was a werewolf and if anyone found out that I knew I would be in danger.I wanted to believe that he was mentally unstable, but I saw his eyes change and I swear he growled."

I watched Dane waiting for him to start laughing, but then again, he said he’s an Alpha

"Why are you scared of him? Did he hit you?" Dane questioned.

His whole body seemed to tense and when he looked up, I saw his eyes swirl with a light grey. "Umm...he didn't hit me.I mean he got a little rough when I told him I was pregnant.Of course, at first, he tried to deny it was his.”

I scoffed at the memory.I might be a lot of things, but a w***e wasn't one of them.

"What happened after that?"

Dane questioned further; I could tell he was trying to hide his anger from me.

I didn't want to talk about Kain anymore, so I stood and grabbed my phone, unlocking it quickly and opening my text messages.I handed the phone to Dane and walked into the living room after setting my dishes in the sink.l sat on the couch, snuggling into the blankets, and waited for Dane to come back in there.

Finally, Dane came and sat next to me, handing me my phone back. could feel the anger rolling off him and I don't want you having any contact with him.If he calls or messages you again, let me talk to him.

Dane said through gritted teeth. What!? I haven't even known this man for a full 24 hours yet. Who the hell did he think he was telling me I couldn't talk to someone? Now I was mad.

"What is it with men trying to tell me what to do?!"

I stood from the couch, dropping the blankets onto the floor, "First Kain tries to tell me I can't keep this baby, my baby, and now you, who I just f*****s met, are trying to tell me who I can and cannot talk to! This is bullshit.I'm leaving in the morning.”

I spun on my heel and stormed off into the master bedroom, slamming the door a little harder than I meant to.
