My Surprise Mate

To say I had a restless night would be an understatement.

Devin kept Blaze chained up with his hands in the air, and I was trying to sleep on the cold concrete floor next to his feet.

We had yet to be given any food since Devin kidnapped us, and I was beginning to feel weak and sick.

I can only imagine how Blaze was feeling.

He was the one that had been beaten more than once already, but I did notice his wounds were starting to heal more now that the wolfsbane was out of his system.

Thanks to my little stunt, Devin had forgotten to poison Blaze again.

At least one good thing had come from that.

"Kyra...I know you are tired, but you need to get up and try to move around.I don’t want you losing all your strength from just laying here," Blaze said softly.

My body was sore and stiff, and the last thing I wanted to do was get up and move.

But I would do anything Blaze asked me if it would keep him from worrying about me right now.I slowly stood up, stretching my arms above my head.

"The moon goddess came to me," I told Blaze, trying to fill the silence in the room.

"She didn’t say very much.She told me that I am the one from the prophecy, and I am the key to uniting the species."

I looked at Blaze, who had a slight smile on his face, "I always knew it was you.What else did she say?"

He sounded hopeful.

I stepped closer to him to whisper in his ear, "she said silver will never that to yourself,"he said seriously.

I nodded in understanding, "she also said that there would be things that I will have to witness but to remember, they won’t last forever.Unfortunately, she didn’t really tell me anything that could be useful to us right now."

I was disappointed that she didn’t give me even a clue on how to get out of our current situation.

"She told you what you needed to know right now, and that’s enough." Blaze an ever-optimistic person.

"Can I ask you something?" I questioned him, my curiosity getting the better of me, "sure, anything..." he replied.

"Did you mean to call me babe? " I watched as Blaze looked down at the floor, a blush covering his bruised face.

"I—I don’t think I can answer that right now," he stuttered.

I had never heard him stutter before either, and I found it cute.

My eyes looked over him, stopping at his waist.I hadn’t even realized he was naked.
