My Surprise Mate

Chapter 44 

After breakfast, we walked to the packhouse to wait for Apollo.

"There’s my princess!"

Adria squealed as she took Kyra from my arms.

"We will be in my office until Apollo arrives," Dane told her as he grabbed my hand and led me upstairs.

I looked around as we walked, "Dane, where is everyone?"

It was unusual to see the packhouse empty like it was.

"Training."

That was good, at least we would be better prepared when Devin shows up.I say when and not if because I have a gut feeling he will.

"You aren’t supposed to be back yet!" Ash said playfully, joining us the rest of the way to Dane’s office.

"I know, and technically I’m not.Apollo will be here soon, so we are waiting for him."

Ash nodded in understanding, "Zayd informed me this morning so I could alert the patrol."

"How are Genesis and Blaze doing? I haven’t seen them much lately." I questioned Ash.

Since I was released from the hospital, Dane had limited visitors, claiming we needed some time for us.

"Blaze has been antsy lately not being able to see Kyra all the time, and Genesis is fine."

I smiled at the thought of Blaze not getting to see Kyra.

He could be very stubborn when he didn’t get his way.

"Has anyone found out more information on the prophecy?"

I hadn’t heard anything about it at all lately.I noticed the brief look that passed crossed my arms over my chest as I looked at Dane.

There was something he wasn’t telling me.. again.

"Apollo is here and being escorted to the office now," Dane told me as he stood from his seat.

I hated not being able to mind link anymore.I know I spent my whole life without a wolf, but I had really become used to the perks once I got mine.

It still makes me sad to think about, but there is nothing I could do to change that...I don’t think anyway.

And if I could go back in time, I would still help Dane and we would still have the same outcome.
