My Surprise Mate (Book 1+ 2) novel Chapter 25

Dane led me to sit down, my eyes staying glued to Tatiana.

She felt familiar.

“Why now?”

I questioned as I sat down next to Dane.

She shook her head and smirked, “I figured that would be your first question.”

I raised my eyebrows expectantly at her.

“Il always planned to talk to you before you turned 25 to explain what was going to happen.

Though I will say...”

she motioned at my ever-growing baby bump, “this did kind of put a twist on the original plan.

No worries though, I have powerful friends.”

She winked at me.

I furrowed my brows until it dawned on me, “You did this?! You are the reason my baby is growing so fast?”

I felt Dane tense next to me, “Did you only come to tell her that you have done something to mess with her pregnancy?”

She sighed as she stood up.

Dane followed, placing himself between the two of us.

“I would never hurt her, but I love how protective you are of her.

lam happy that she has ended up here.

Kain was worthless and his pack would not be strong enough for what’s to come.”

How the hell does she know about Kain? “Okay...you need to start talking,”

I stated bluntly, bay window, gazing out before clearing her throat, “I’m, technically, the Alpha Queen.

My mate, your father, is Alpha King Apollo.

I’m sure you’ve heard of him.”

she chuckled, though it seemed forced.

She turned around to face us, “I’ve heard rumors, but I’ve never met him personally.”

Dane answered when she continued staring silently.

“Well, unfortunately, most of the rumors are true.

He’s evil.

He’s cold-hearted and ruthless.

Though my leaving has weakened him some and, from what we can see, it’s made him more...

unhinged.”

She made her way back to the couch and took her seat.

“Apollo wasn’t really nice to me while we were together, but that isn’t why I left.

I left to save you...you will be his downfall and he knew that.”

her face scrunched as though what she was saying physically pained her.

“Why would you need to save me and how would I be his downfall? I need you to explain.”

She stared at her fingers as she played with her fingers in her lap, “A year after mating with Apollo, a seer showed up at the borders.

She warned him that his female child would be his downfall.

That she would bring an end to his rule and, in turn, his life.

Of course, Apollo laughed at the old woman before having her killed, telling her it would be a taking a deep breath, “no one dared mention that day or seer again after that.

We found out about three months after that I was expecting.

I was beyond myself.

I finally would have someone to love and love me back.

Apollo was happy, at first, until we found out you were a girl.”
