My Surprise Mate (Book 1+ 2) novel Chapter 13

How in the hell does he know where I am at? And he knows I’m here with Dane.

Anxiety crept through my veins, turning my whole body ice cold.

I pulled my last pair of clean sweatpants from my bag, pulling them on as fast as I could.

I couldn’t find any of my t-shirts, so I pulled on Dane’s that he had left thrown.

I ran out the front door, not even bothering to put my shoes on.

Ash was standing at the bottom of the porch steps when I came running out.

“Holly!? What’s wrong?” he met me halfway down.

“Where’s Dane?” my eyes scanned for him.

I couldn’t get a handle on the anxiety and the fear that was now coursing through my system at record speeds.

“Why don’t you sit down a minute?” Ash tried to help me sit.

“No...

can’t.

This...s**t Ican’t breathe.

..I have to find Dane...” I was hyperventilating.

My vision blurred from the unshed tears that had formed.

Two arms wrapped around me, lifting me up.

Tingles erupted across my skin as his scent engulfed me—Dane.

I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck as he held me close.

“Shh.

..it’s okay.” He walked us back got you baby.

You’re okay.” He whispered as he sat us down on the couch.

My breathing started to even out as he gently rubbed my back.

“Tell me what happened,” he finally said after I had calmed down some more.

I told him about the phone call.

How Kain is giving me one week to go back to him before he comes and gets me himself.

I told him everything.

Dane’s eyes were no longer their beautiful sky blue, but now silver.

“Ash!” he yelled out from the couch, his arms still protectively around me.

Ash came running into the house, “ Alpha?” he bowed his head.

“Get Colby and Alpha Zayd...

meet me in my office in 10 minutes.” He growled at him.

Ash gave a nod of understanding before leaving back out the door.

Dane pulled me to look at him.

His eyes were sucha beautiful silver; I knew that meant his wolf was in charge, he had told me.

When there is no longer any blue to be seen, then his wolf has taken charge.

But he had said that doesn’t happen often with him.

I wasn’t scared at all, in fact, I felt more at ease, more protected, “You are coming with me to this meeting I am holding.

Everyone of importance will be there.

Let that sack of s**t come.” he laughed, his voice a little I slipped my shoes on but didn’t bother to change my clothes.

Dane led us to the packhouse and up the stairs to his office.

The men were there and waiting.

Ash and the other one both stood as we walked in, bowing their heads to Dane.
