My Surprise Mate

Chapter 20

“What’d you find?”

Dane asked his father as we took a seat. Zayd shook his head solemnly, “Not as much as I would have liked to. I'll tell you what little we found and then I'll tell you a theory that your mother and I have come up with.”

“ Sounds good,”

he replied as he wrapped an arm around me. “ The day that Holly was born, a younger woman had shown up at the hospital, alone. She refused to give her name and paid in cash. During labor, she told the doctor and nurses she wanted to give the baby up for adoption. It’s a small town, everybody knows everybody kind of thing, and no one had ever seen this woman before. After giving birth to a baby girl, the woman whispered in the baby's ear before the nurses took her away. The woman disappeared in the middle of the night.”

According to records, she eyebrows at Dane. “So, she wasn’t human. The only ones that can possibly heal that fast after giving birth are werewolves and strong ones. Maybe Alpha blood? But why doesn’t Holly have a wolf? Or any of the abilities of a werewolf?”

Dane seemed to be talking more to himself. “What is the theory?”

I questioned, finally finding my voice. Adria looked at me, giving me a small smile, “Well, dear, this is going to sound crazy, we know, but during that time the Alpha King’s pregnant mate had disappeared without a trace. When she was first reported missing, she was around four months pregnant. Rumor has it she was running to save her baby from the Alpha King himself, though he has always denied that. What if you are that baby?”

started laughing as tears streamed down my face. They were all looking at me worriedly. Dane gently began wiping away my tears as his other hand tightened around me. “Okay, now I’ve heard it all! I don’t know who the
