My Surprise Mate

My heart raced as I watched the following scene unfold in slow motion.

Scarlett turned, with a smirk on her face, and left the cell.

Devin stood against the wall as the soldiers stalked closer to us.

It felt like I was frozen in place.

Blaze let out aloud, deep growl, and the vibrations ran through my body.

In one quick motion, Blaze had attacked, snapping the neck of the man closest and spinning around to grab the second one.

Unfortunately, even though I had turned into a statue, Devin hadn’t.

“Stop fighting!” Devin yelled as I felt his clammy hands wrap around my throat.

I hadn’t even seen him move from his spot, but I was focused on Blaze.

Blaze froze in place, his eyes narrowing on Devin as the two guards walked over to him and grabbed his arms.

The feel of his touch against the skin on my neck snapped me out of my frozen state.

“You are a lot stronger and faster than any beta I’ve ever seen.

If I didn’t know any better, I would have thought you had alpha blood coursing through your veins,” Devin seemed impressed with Blaze’s abilities.

“But it doesn’t matter, you will cooperate, or she will pay the price.

I don’t want to hurt her, but I also won’t he snarled as his grip tightened around my throat.

“I've stopped killing your men; now let her go,” Blaze growled out, his eyes never leaving Devin.

Devin laughed, “

yes, you have.

You did seem to take him down with ease, didn’t you?” I wanted Blaze to look at me; I wanted him to keep fighting.

If he would keep fighting, we might actually be able to escape this hell hole.
