My Surprise Mate

Blaze began carrying me back to my house.

His soft voice tried to soothe the heartbreak I was feeling.

I could hear my mother’s gentle sobs as we neared the porch and the hushed whispering of the others.

The room went silent as Blaze walked through the door with me in his arms.

“ Princess, I’m so sorry.” Dad stood from mom’s side and headed toward us.

I wiggled in Blaze’s arms, and he gently set me down.

“Sorry for what? It wasn’t you that killed him.” I turned and walked to my room, shutting the door behind me.

I crawled onto the bed and pulled the blanket up to my chin as I curled up.

My mind was racing, and I couldn’t get it to slow down.

Thoughts of what happened when Devin took us flashed through my mind before the scene of me killing Scarlette played on repeat.

I killed her, though she deserved it, I killed her.

I didn’t think twice about the effect it would have on Grandpa Pollo.

If I had thought about it...even for just a second...I could have done something different.

I could have saved his life.

But I let my anger cloud my judgment that day, and now...my best friend is gone.

He was such a fantastic person.

He was kind, gentle, loving, caring, and easy to talk to.
