My Surprise Mate

Six months 

"You need to sit down, babe.We have this under control," Dane said as he wrapped his arms around my very pregnant belly.

He gently kissed my neck, sending goosebumps over my skin.

"I just want it to be perfect," I sighed.

We were getting ready for Kyra’s one-year birthday party, hoping to make it through without me going into labor.Her developmental rate hasn’t seemed to slow much, and we are all positive the prophecy is talking about her.She began walking, running, and talking way sooner than other kids her age.

I let Dane guide me to a lounge chair to sit down, my eyes immediately falling on Kyra and Blaze playing together.

The two of them are stuck together by glue, I swear.

They are only apart when they are sleeping or when Blaze is training or in school.

I had been taking classes online to become a teacher, but I took the last two months off to focus on having this baby.

A boy.

We are having a boy, and we couldn’t be more excited.

Kyra is definitely the pack princess and has everyone wrapped around her little finger..., especially her dad and grandpa.

She only has to frown to get her way with them.

Apollo usually visits every two months for a few days.I haven’t met his mate, and I probably never will.

She doesn’t want to Devin.

Though Apollo is still searching for Devin, he hasn’t found any sign of him yet.

At this point, everyone assumes he has died.

I know better though.I know in my gut that he is alive, and he is just waiting for the right time to attack.I pray to the moon goddess that I am wrong though.

A growl had me snapping my head up as I focused my attention back on Kyra and Blaze, "Give it back,"

I heard Blaze growling at another little boy.

"Blaze, what happened?"

I holler at the kids as I tried to get out of the chair.I looked around trying to find Dane, but he hadn’t returned from checking on the party preparations yet.
