My Surprise Mate (Book 1+ 2) novel Chapter 42

That’s what I felt as the darkness took over all of my senses.

I lost myself in the nothingness around me.

My mind wasn’t racing with worries and my heart wasn’t pounding with anxiety.I sighed as I enjoyed the silence not only around me but within me too.I wasn’t sure how long I had been here before something in my brain clicked.

An image of Devin killing Dane flashed before my eyes, and that is when everything came flooding back to me.

Kyra.

Dane.

Devin.

The reason for my being here came flooding back.

Panic seemed to fill my lungs as I gasped for air.

The sound of beeping in the distance had me looking around only to find nothing but the original darkness that had overtaken me in the first place.

I couldn’t breathe.

No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t seem to take a breath.

My hands scratched at my throat as I started feeling like I was being strangled.

Something held my arms down as the beeping began to grow louder.

"I’m here, babe.I’m here."

Dane.

That’s Dane.

My heart clenched at the sound of his voice.

Air rushed through my body as bright lights flooded my vision.

I tried to sit up but was met with whisper, "You’re safe."

I blinked my eyes open as he kissed my cheek and then my lips.

My mouth and lips felt dry as I tried to talk.

"Here.Small sips."

Dane held a glass of water with a straw in front of me.

The cool water felt nice as it slid down my throat.

There was something different about myself, but I just couldn’t figure out what it was.

I’m sure it’s because I am still recovering.

"You're alive?" I asked more than stated.

He smiled at me as he kissed my hand.

"Kyra?"

I questioned after clearing my throat.

"She’s safe, and doing so well,"

Dane smiled at me as he brought his lips to mine, giving me a tender kiss.

"What happened?" I questioned.

Dane took a deep breath as he looked down at the floor, "Devin managed to escape, but Nyla and the rogues with him were killed.You saved me.They had silver on their claws."

Dane’s eyes glossed over with unshed tears.

The pain in his eyes was unbearable, "You should have run, babe.And then you wouldn’t have been hurt.I almost lost you."

His voice broke as a tear slid down his cheek.I reached up and wiped it away with my finger.
