My Surprise Mate

Dane led me out the front door to his pickup and opened the door for me.

His hands slipped around my waist as he hoisted me up.

“You should really get a normal-sized vehicle.

One that I don’t need assistance getting into.

Why do you have such a tall pickup anyways?” I asked curiously.

He just laughed, “I just like it.” It ended up being only a 30-minute drive to the next town.

“Dane, I don’t have money to shop here,” I confessed as he parked the pickup.

“My money is your money.

You don’t have to worry about anything anymore.

I promise I'll always take care of you...in every way.” He helped me out, taking my hand in his, “I can’t use your money.” He laughed, “You can, and you will.

Look if it makes you feel better.

I make sure everyone in my pack has what that need.

From clothes and food, to further their education—whatever it is they need.

It’s how I was raised and how I run the pack.” It didn’t take me long to have a few outfits picked out until Dane pointed out that I should probably get a few different sizes of maternity clothes while we were there.

“ You'll be showing soon,” he said with a grin.

As we stood in his hand on my belly.

“I’m excited,” he whispered in my ear.

He was excited—even though it wasn’t his baby.

“I meant what I said, this baby will be raised as my own.” I raised my eyebrows at him questioningly.

“I can feel what you feel now baby.” I had forgotten about that.

He had told me on the way here more about our bond.

He can now feel my feelings.
