My Surprise Mate

Chapter 7 

I lay on the bed and let the tears run freely.This was all too much.I feel like I’m losing my mind.I just can’t seem to wrap my brain around the fact that werewolves are real...or so l’m told.I cried until I had no more tears to cry than the guilt of how I had been acting toward Dane set in.I had been an ungrateful, hateful b***h.

That’s not who I am.I glanced at the bedside clock and saw it was 4:45 in the morning.

Slowly I stood and headed back to the living room, unsure if Dane was still there or not.

All the lights were off except one and I noticed Dane asleep on the couch.He barely fit and I was honestly surprised to find him still there.

I wonder why he didn’t go to sleep in one of the other rooms since he had decided to stay.

He looked peaceful and I didn’t want to wake him.

"I’m awake." I heard him say gruffly as I tried to tiptoe back to the bedroom.

"Sorry, I didn’t mean to wake you," I whispered.

He sat up, stretching his arms above his head.

My eyes scanned down his amazingly toned body as I started fantasizing about being tangled in those arms.

Dane cleared his throat, dragging me out of my thoughts.I felt the heat rush to my face face, "Did you need something?"

He stood, folding the small throw blanket he had been covering with, and laid it neatly on the end of the couch.

"I just wanted to apologize to you.I have acted like such an ungrateful b***h since you met me, and I swear I’m not usually like this." I felt so ashamed of my behavior I struggled to make eye contact with him.

He walked around the couch and pulled me into a hug.

And cue the tingles spreading over my body.I wrapped my arms around his waist, returning the embrace and letting his scent wrap around me like a blanket.I let out a deep breath as my mind and body started to relax.

"You don’t need to apologize but thank you for doing it anyway."

He leaned down and kissed the top of my head.

"I have some things I need to do before breakfast, will you be okay until then?" I nodded missing the warmth of his embrace as soon as he pulled away.
