My Surprise Mate

I woke in an unfamiliar room.My heart raced as I tried to figure out where I was, "Shhh...it’s okay, babe.I’m here.We’re okay."

I looked to my right to find Blaze sitting on the side of the bed.He reached over, taking my hand in his and gently kissing it, sending sparks through my body.

"You're my mate," I stated as I stared at him.

Everything was starting to make more sense to me now.

His behavior over the years, the looks.. everything.

"You knew I was your mate."

He smiled as he nodded his head, "I’ve known since I was about five.The moon goddess had come to me and told me.At that age, I didn’t realize exactly what that meant other than it was my job to protect you and keep you safe.But I’ve loved you our whole lives."

He kissed my hand again as tears welled in my eyes at his words.

"Where are we? Is Devin dead? How long have I been asleep?" I started questioning as my heart rate began to rise in my chest.

"Calm down, babe.There is plenty of time to talk about it; right now, you should eat something."

Blaze stood, making his way to the door across from the bed.He cracked it open and said something to a man before shutting it again and sitting back down.

"When you passed out, I picked you up and ran.I didn’t know where we were; I just knew I had to get us away from where we were.I’m not sure how long I had been running when I caught Tate, the King of vampires, and he actually has a treaty of sorts with our pack.He offered us a place to stay and has contacted your dad."

My mind was racing with questions as I processed what Blaze said.I had heard that name before but didn’t know anything about him.

"What about Devin? And my wolf!? Blaze, what about my wolf! What powers do I have? Do our parents know we are mates?"

Blaze chuckled as I fired off questions, "Slow down.Devin made arun for it but was caught by some of Dominick’s people and is currently in a holding cell.Yes, our parents know we are mates, and your wolf Kyra—your wolf is magnificent.You are the most beautiful, bright white wolf I have ever seen.When I first saw you, I swear I couldn’t breathe.Your white fur shimmers even in the darkness.As far as power, well, I’m not completely sure yet, but I do know you have more power than even your grandpa pollo has...."

Blaze stared off in the distance while he rubbed circles on the top of my hand, "What is it, Blaze?"

I could tell he had more to say.
