My Surprise Mate (Book 1+ 2) novel Chapter 38

It’s been 6 months since everything happened, and it’s been very calm and quiet.

Apollo hasn’t been able to come back and visit as he had planned, but he usually calls every Saturday.

Our relationship has grown tremendously.

He still feels like he needs to apologize, but I don’t feel like it was really his fault.

Though I do think he could have handled the whole situation with my mother differently, everyone makes mistakes and all I can do now is leave the past in the past and move forward with my life.

Last Saturday he did tell me that Tatiana had been sentenced to death and he was afraid it would ruin the progress we had made.

I assured him that it wouldn’t.I had only recently met her, and she lied to me the whole time.

She didn’t care about me, only about her revenge against him.

I did tell him that I didn’t want to know when it happened though.I’m not sure what exactly is going on with Devin or Nyla, but I feel that it hasn’t been easy.

Apollo is always quick to change the subject when I ask him about the two.

Our last conversation was cut short because of a ‘disturbance’.

Kyra has grown so much and is absolutely beautiful.

To say she has everyone wrapped around her little finger would be an understatement.

If Blaze isn’t training with Ash, then he is with Kyra.

Adria has been teaching me the responsibilities of the Luna and I can say it feels natural to me after, the door to my office flew open as Colby came running in; he quickly scanned the room before shutting the door and locking it.

"What the hell Colby?"

I jumped from my seat and quickly picked Kyra up from her playpen.

Colby stood protectively by the door with his back to me.

"Rogue breach, Luna.Alpha Dane ordered me to come to protect you."

My eyes widened at his words, "Rogues?! How did they get through? How many are there?"

Colby shook his head, "Those are questions for Alpha."

After several minutes, the doorknob jiggled before there was a pounding on the door, "Holly..."

Colby unlocked the door immediately to let Dane in.

He had on a pair of shorts, but the rest of his body was covered in blood as he made his way over to me and Kyra.

"Dane, what happened?"

Careful not to touch us, he leaned in, inhaling deeply.

"Are you okay? Kyra?" he began checking us over.

"We are fine.Now tell me what happened.How many and how did they get past border patrol?"

Dane took a step back as he scratched the back of his head, "...there were eight of them.It’s like they knew where and when to go through.We were caught completely off guard!"

He was pacing the room as he spoke.

"They almost made it all the way to the packhouse! Damn it!!" he turned around and stormed out of the office.

I hadn’t seen him this mad in a long time.

Dane this angry can be dangerous.

I mind linked Adria to come to get Kyra while I tried to talk to Dane.

After I knew Kyra was taken care of, I took off outside, following Dane’s "Why are you out here? Go back inside babe.There may be more."

I could tell he was trying to control his anger as he spoke to me.I shook my head, "Even if there is, I doubt they would attack again right now."

I could tell he didn’t like my response, but he also didn’t argue with me as he pulled me close to his side and continued talking.

"Like I was saying, this wasn’t a random attack, Alpha.They were not only able to sneak past the patrol but also almost made it to the packhouse undetected.It’s just not possible for them unless they know the packing grounds, routines, and such," Ash said.

I could sense the anger in his voice.

Dane growled slowly, "I agree.But how could they have known any of that?"

I lifted my hands at both, "Enough.Right now, everyone needs to calm down and decide what is going to be changed to prevent it from happening again.Then we can try to figure out the rest of the details."
