My Surprise Mate (Book 1+ 2) novel Chapter 17

I was so focused on Genesis and Nyla that I hadn’t noticed Blaze standing next to me holding my hand with his little one.

Genesis spun around grabbing Blaze up in her arms and kissing his cheeks.

“Did she touch you?” she questioned him, finally setting him back down on his feet.

“No ma’am.

She isn’t fast enough.” He said confidently, holding his chin up high.

There were two men I had never seen before carrying Nyla off with Ash following behind them.

To say Ash was pissed would be an understatement.

“Are you okay?” Dane asked me as he looked me over.

“I’m fine.

Shadowmoon’s future Beta made sure of that,” I smiled down at the little boy who beamed with pride.

Dane took a knee so he was at eye level with Blaze, “You did a great job buddy, but you do understand that you could have been seriously hurt, right?” “Yes, Alpha Dane, but I already know that I am strong enough to protect her against anyone who is a threat.” He didn’t waver as he spoke to his Alpha.

Dane’s face contorted in confusion, “You seem sure of yourself Blaze.” Blaze nodded explanation, “How can you be? Nyla is much older and her wolf much stronger.

You aren’t even old enough to shift into your wolf yet.” Dane was trying to figure out Blaze’s way of thinking and get him to understand he put himself in danger.

“Your daughter is going to be my mate.

No one will touch her.

Just like my daddy makes sure no one touches my mom, and you make sure no one touches Luna Holly.

I will make sure no one touches her.” Genesis's eyes went as wide as saucers as she looked at her son.

Dane was speechless.

This little boy, at 5 years old, knew my unborn daughter was his mate, and he was talking as if he was at least in his teenage years already.

Dane picked Blaze up, “Follow me,” he said to me and Genesis.

We followed him back into the pack office and sat down.

He sat Blaze down on the couch before taking his seat behind his desk.

Genesis sat next to her son, just staring at him in aww.

Soon there was a knock on the door, “ Come in.” Dane hollered.

Once again, we were all sitting together: me, Dane, Genesis, Ash, Zayd, and Adria; the only difference is now Blaze was there with us.

“Blaze, can you tell Alpha Zayd, Luna Adria, and your dad what you told us outside,” Dane told the little boy.

Blaze he had said outside.

Everyone was stunned.

Ash kneeled in front of him, “How do you know this, Blaze?” Blaze shrugged his shoulders, “The Moon Goddess told me.” He said it like it was no big deal.

Everyone sat with their mouths on the floor at his statement.

“Did she tell you anything else?” I asked him.

He looked at me and smiled, “No ma’am, just that she is going to be my mate and she will need my protection.

The Moon Goddess said that I am the best one for the job.” “Babe, why don’t you go ahead and take Blaze home, he should take a nap before the ceremony later,” Ash told Genesis.

She stood reaching for her son’s hand.

He quickly pulled away and ran to stand in front of Dane, bowing his head, “Alpha Dane, will you stay with Luna Holly the rest of the day? I have to go home.” Dane gently lifted the boy's chin with his finger, “Hey Blaze, thank you for looking out for Luna Holly today.” Blaze smiled widely at the praise from Dane, “ And yes, I will be with her the rest of the day.” Blaze threw his arms around Dane’s neck hugging him, “Thank you Alpha.” He ran over to me placing his little hands on my belly, “I have to go, but your dad is with you now,” he whispered.

He grabbed his mom’s hand and pulled her to the door, leaving us all sitting there in silence trying to figure out what the hell just After a while of sitting in silence, Zayd spoke up, “Well, I guess we have our answer.” I couldn’t help but smile.

“We have one answer,” Dane said, looking at all of us.

“Ash, thoughts?” he looked at Ash who sat with his head in his hands.

“I believe him.
