My Surprise Mate

"I need a real challenge!"

After pinning another male down during training, I huffed and stood up.Yes, I am a good fighter, better than most.I don’t claim to be the best, though; that would be stupid.

The worst thing you can do is get big-headed and think you can’t be beaten.

My dad, Alpha Dane, has ensured that I can handle myself should I ever need to.I remember questioning my mother when I was around ten years old about why I had to train when other girls didn’t.

That is when they sat me down and told me about Devin.

They explained the little they know about the prophecy and how they think he is dead, but they aren’t one hundred percent positive.

They want me to know how to defend myself should the need ever arise.I understand that I won’t shift into my wolf until the ‘time is right’.

Thinking back to that conversation, I feel like there was information left out, though I’m not sure why.

That was also the day they told me that Dad isn’t my biological father.

I'm glad he’s my dad, though; the other guy sounded like a complete douche.

So anyway, Dad has had me training since I was around six years old, and I am now eighteen.

I turned to walk off, ready to go home and shower, when I heard his deep voice, "You need a real challenge, huh? "

I rolled my eyes as I turned to face non-other than Blaze.

We used to be best friends, but as we got older, he changed.We looking out for me.

It doesn’t help that he will be Beta one day, so he spends a lot of time around Dad and Ash, learning everything he can before he takes over.

The girls are always flocked to him, and it’s easy to see why.

He looks like a damn god walking around this place.He's a lot bigger than the other guys around here.He stands as tall as my dad, but he's faster than dad.His blonde hair falls around his perfectly chiseled face as if highlighting his sky blue eyes.

Whoever his mate is should feel lucky to have him.He's a very caring man, and I know his mate would be well cared for.

Rumor has it that he’s never been with a girl; supposedly, he is waiting on his mate.We are all encouraged to wait for our mate.

Most still date others, but never anything very serious.

"Yeah, I want a real challenge," I replied as I stared him down.

"Then let’s go, tough girl." He took a stance waiting for me.

I know, in reality, I can’t beat him, but I’m also a little proud.I didn’t hesitate to make the first move, which he dodged easily.

"Come on, Kyra, you can do better than that," he smirked and bounced on his toes, mocking me.

I could feel my anger already rising as people formed a circle around us.

He knows exactly how to piss me off.I studied his movement for a minute before making another move, this time landing a hit straight to his gut.
