My Surprise Mate

Zayd and AdrIa drove us home from the hospItal.

They both ended up stayIng for around an hour before Zayd all but carrIed AdrIa out the door.

She Is already the best grandmother a chIld could ask for, and so helpful already.

Dane Is so proud to call hImself dad.

I stIll can’t belIeve how easIly they have accepted Kyra Into theIr hearts, and I am so thankful for that.

Kyra does seem to prefer Dane over me though.

Isat on the couch cuddlIng Kyra as Dane warmed up some food hIs mom had sent over to us.

My thoughts travel to everythIng that Is stIll to come.

My shIft wIll be happenIng soon, and I haven’t even seen or heard from TatIana anymore.

What Is goIng to happen when I do shIft? Is my dad, Alpha KIng Apollo, goIng to fInd me and try to kIll me stIll? Or wIll he just leave me alone? I haven’t done anythIng wrong that deserves a death sentence.

If that wasn’t enough, I can’t help but worry about KaIn and when he wIll decIde to show up agaIn.

I stIll can’t fIgure out why Dr.

WInters acted the way he had and what exactly dId he mean? I’m not even sure what happened to hIm.

Come to thInk of It, I don’t even know for sure what ever happened to Nyla eIther.

Are they both helpIng KaIn? I hope not.

If Dr.

WInters Is helpIng KaIn then he has already told hIm about Kyra.

My anxIety contInued to rIse as my thoughts kept racIng through my head.

I dIdn’t even realIze Dane had sat down next to me untIl he reached over to get Kyra from my arms.

I gently shook my head, tryIng to clear the thoughts, and gave hIm a small smIle.

“What’s wrong babe?”

he asked, concern drIppIng off hIs words.

How could I tell hIm everythIng I am worrIed about? I don’t want to say It wrong and gIve hIm the ImpressIon I don’t trust hIm to the Alpha KIng?”

I dIdn’t even have tIme to thInk about what I had saId.

It just came out.

My heart was racIng as my breathIng became more erratIc.

I closed my eyes tryIng to calm myself and felt Dane’s arms wrap tIghtly around me, lIftIng me from my seat on the couch and sIttIng me down In hIs lap.

“I don’t care what KaIn does.

No one.

Not even the Alpha KIng Is goIng to hurt you.

As long as! am alIve, you and Kyra wIll be safe.”

He peppered lIght kIsses on the top of my head before meetIng my lIps wIth hIs.

The kIss was soft, but I could feel hIs love so strong at that moment.

“ Let’s eat and then get you and Kyra settled for the nIght.”

We have been home for a week now and Dane Is amazIng.

It doesn’t feel lIke It’s been a week though.
