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.

That’s it, nothing to it.” Easy for him to say, he was used to everyone’s attention being on him.

This was all still new to me, and I didn’t want to mess up.

We walked up to his office to find Ash, Genesis, Zayd, and Adria all waiting for us.

I was surprised to see his mom and dad there, I thought it would just be us and Ash and Genesis.
