My Surprise Mate

As bad as it hurt, I was determined not to scream.

I didn’t want to alert anyone of what was happening.

I needed the element of surprise on my side, and Blaze was able to keep in all his pain; not once did he scream out.

can do that too; I have to.

The pain intensified as my bones started popping, shifting to their new position.

It got so bad I thought I would pass out.

I could feel the sweat rolling down my body as I tried to keep myself as calm as possible.

Thankfully, I witnessed others shift for the first time, so I knew what to expect.

I was happy about that but also worried.

There were a few whose first time shifting lasted a lot longer than most.

What if I was one of those? I don’t have anyone here to make sure I make it.

I gritted my teeth; I do have someone here.

..I have Blaze...

reminded myself.

I’m not sure how long my shift lasted, it felt like hours, but the pain finally subsided.

I stayed lying on the floor as I tried to catch my breath and calm my racing heart.

Get ready.

The calming voice seemed to float through the room again.

No time for rest...got it.

I stood shakily scanning the room, trying to decide the best place to wait.

I couldn’t believe how much clearer my vision was.

Though it was pitch black in here, I could see fine.

I felt exhausted, but this was our only chance.

The sound of footsteps reminded me now was not the time to figure out what new abilities I had.

I crouched down in the corner as adrenaline rushed through my body.

The door slowly opened, “Here you go, princess!” I heard aman snarl.

I watched as Blaze was shoved through the door; he fell to the floor, unable to catch himself with his hands and feet chained.

I let out a low growl as the anger boiled inside me.

Blaze was almost unrecognizable as I glanced over and I saw a small smile form on his face.

The man that pushed Blaze into the cell hadn’t realized the growl he heard had come from me.

He stepped into the room, bending down to take the shackles off Blaze.

I crouched down, waiting to pounce, as Blaze only stared at me.
