My Surprise Mate

Dane walked into the room smiling as he carried a tray of food.

“I could have come in there and ate at the table,”

I told him, feeling a little guilty.

He shook his head as he placed the tray on my lap, “Why would you do that when I am perfectly capable of bringing it to you?”

I couldn’t help the guilty feeling that seemed to settle in the pit of my stomach.

I tried to hold back tears as I started picking at the food, “Talk to me, ”

he said softly.

I did my best to swallow the lump forming in my throat, “This is my fault.

You didn’t have any problems until I showed up and now y'all are being threatened by another pack.

You just handled Kain and his family and now you are cooking and waiting on me hand and foot...I should be doing this for you.”

By this point, the flood gates had opened.

Dane pulled me to sit in his lap as his hands snaked around my waist, “You have done nothing wrong.

I love having someone to wait on hand and foot.

I handled Kain because that is my job and even if it wasn’t, I still would have done it, and just so you know, the Oakwood Pack isn’t the first pack that we have fought.

Though I think they will be the He always knew what to say to calm me down, except this time I still couldn’t shake this nagging feeling.

I wasn’t sure if it was just because Kain said he would be back or if it was something else altogether.

I ate as much of the meal as I could, thanking Dane a million times for everything he has done for me.

“Babe, I have something I need to take care of, Ash will be with me.

It shouldn’t take long, but mom is going to come over.

You rest and I will talk to the doctor before I come home.

Love you.”

He pulled the blankets over me before kissing me on the forehead.

“What do you have to do?”

I questioned, finding it a little odd at how vague he was.

He looked everywhere but at me before answering, “Just some pack stuff, shouldn’t take long.”

Somehow, I knew he wasn’t being completely honest with me.

I narrowed my eyes at him as I heard his mom announce herself as she came through the front door.

“I’m going to talk to Nyla.

See if I can get some answers from her.

She was the one that told Kain you were here.

We don’t know how she knew he was looking for you though.”

I nodded and rolled over, letting sleep overtake me.

Darkness.

I looked around realizing I was in the woods again.

The only light from the full moon peeking through the tops of dreaming, but it felt so real.

It was just the same dream, right? I started walking with no idea where I was heading when I heard it.
