My Surprise Mate

Chapter 19

I sat on the barstool as Dane cooked us breakfast.

I slept better than ever last night and woke up feeling rejuvenated this morning.

Dane was mouthwatering.

I couldn’t help but ogle him as he stood there shirtless in front of the stove.

His pajama pants hanging low enough on his hips to have me daydreaming of other things.

What I really want for breakfast is his massive...

“Not yet...” Isnapped my eyes up to see Dane smirking at me. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“ What?” I was confused.

Had he been talking to me? “I can not only feel your arousal, but I can smell it.” he tapped his nose as his eyes glazed over me.

I felt my cheeks burn with embarrassment.

“And why not?” I raised my eyebrows teasingly at him, waiting for his response.

“You need more rest and I want to check with Dr.

Winters to make sure it’s okay.” He answered honestly.

I rolled my eyes.

If this man wasn’t so perfect, I would probably have been upset about him not wanting to be with me.

Someone started knocking on the front door.

“I'll get it,” I slid from my seat at the kitchen bar, making my way through the living room.

there with Ash.

One look at Ash told me Blaze must have been giving him a hard time again.

“Morning Luna,” Ash greeted me as I held the door open for them to come in.

“Good morning.” I heard Dane chuckle behind me as Ash and Blaze made their way inside.

Blaze smiled at me, taking his place next to me, “ How do you feel, Luna Holly?” “I feel much better today, thank you, Blaze.” I led everyone back to the kitchen and Dane finished up the breakfast.

“So, what are y'all up to today?” I questioned Ash.

He sighed and looked over to Blaze, then back to me, “We did some early morning training and Blaze here refused to go home until he made sure that you were better, and Dane was with you.” He looked at his son who sat next to me.

I saw Dane space out briefly, letting me know he was mind linking someone.

I have to admit I was a little jealous I couldn’t do that.

Dane cleared his throat, “Blaze I need to talk to you.” He looked at the little boy, “Yes, Alpha?” I could tell Dane was trying to find the right words to say, “I know you want to make sure that Luna Holly and our pup are okay and safe, but how you are going about it isn’t okay.” I guess Blaze had been causing more problems than I realized.

Blaze looked down at the floor, “I just want to keep them safe.” do that.

But you are still little, and I will not have you disobeying your mother or father.” Blaze nodded his head in understanding, “How about this—! will talk with your mom and dad and Luna Holly, and we can come

up with a certain time you can come over to check on the pup.” His little face lit up, “That would be great Alpha!” He jumped up and ran to Dane giving him a hug.

“Alright bud, I need to get you back home.” Ash motioned for Blaze.

Like every other time, Blaze ran up to me and whispered to my belly before running out the door.

“I’ve had dad start looking into your past,” Dane told me as we cuddled up on the couch to watch a movie, “Just trying to figure out who your parents might be.” I hadn’t thought about my birth parents for a long time.

I used to think about them all the time; wondering who they are and why they gave me up.

But now it felt as if I needed to know.

Like they were the key to figuring out so many answers to the questions now popping up.

I hoped that Zayd would be able to come up with something.

Dane started a movie, and it didn’t take long for me to doze off.

I was just so comfortable in his arms that I couldn’t helpit.

/t’s almost time.

_\wasinthe woods, darkness peeking through the trees.

I could see the silhouette of a womaninthedistance.

/williseeyousoon.

The voice was gentle, familiar even.

I sat up gasping for air, startling Dane.

“ What happened?” he asked as I looked around the room.

“Was someone here?” He looked at me questioningly as he nodded his head, “No, why?” Concern flashed through his eyes as he stared at me, his hand gently caressing the top of mine.

I took a deep breath as I started to relax again, “I wasin the woods, and it was so dark.

There was a full moon, and I could see a woman in the distance.

All she said was it’s almost time and she would see me soon.” I looked at Dane, “I don’t know who she was, but I wasn’t scared, she seemed familiar somehow.” He sat thinking, “Do you feel like going to the packhouse? Zayd may have found something, and we can talk to him and mom about you hearing this voice.” He followed me to the room, sitting on the bed, as I got dressed.

I swear it’s like my baby bump is growing quickly.

I slid on a pair of maternity tights and a fitted V-neck long sleeve shirt.

I was staring at my reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror Dane had hanging in our closet.

How big would I end up getting? Dane’s hands slipped around me, “You are so beautiful,” he across my skin.

He stood behind me with both of his hands resting on my growing belly, “I guess I’m ready to go now.” We walked hand in hand to the packhouse.

A few people stopped to introduce themselves to me and let me know they hope I feel better.

Dane led me up the stairs to his office where Zayd and Adria were waiting for us.

“What’d you find?” he asked his dad as we took a seat.
