My Surprise Mate (Book 1+ 2) novel Chapter 45

Six months

"You need to sit down, babe.We have this under control," Dane said as he wrapped his arms around my very pregnant belly.

He gently kissed my neck, sending goosebumps over my skin.

"I just want it to be perfect," I sighed.

We were getting ready for Kyra’s one-year birthday party, hoping to make it through without me going into labor.Her developmental rate hasn’t seemed to slow much, and we are all positive the prophecy is talking about her.She began walking, running, and talking way sooner than other kids her age.

I let Dane guide me to a lounge chair to sit down, my eyes immediately falling on Kyra and Blaze playing together.

The two of them are stuck together by glue, I swear.

They are only apart when they are sleeping or when Blaze is training or in school.

I had been taking classes online to become a teacher, but I took the last two months off to focus on having this baby.

A boy.

We are having a boy, and we couldn’t be more excited.

Kyra is definitely the pack princess and has everyone wrapped around her little finger..., especially her dad and grandpa.

She only has to frown to get her way with them.

Apollo usually visits every two months for a few days.I haven’t met his mate, and I probably never will.

She doesn’t want to Devin.

Though Apollo is still searching for Devin, he hasn’t found any sign of him yet.

At this point, everyone assumes he has died.

I know better though.I know in my gut that he is alive, and he is just waiting for the right time to attack.I pray to the moon goddess that I am wrong though.

A growl had me snapping my head up as I focused my attention back on Kyra and Blaze, "Give it back,"

I heard Blaze growling at another little boy.

"Blaze, what happened?"

I holler at the kids as I tried to get out of the chair.I looked around trying to find Dane, but he hadn’t returned from checking on the party preparations yet.

Blaze is standing between Kyra and the other boy.

I’ve seen the other boy around before, but I can’t remember his name.

He is older than Kyra but younger than Blaze.

I finally managed to get out of my chair and start waddling toward the kids, but not fast enough.I didn’t hear what was said, but I panicked when the other boy pushed Blaze.

Well tried too, anyways, Blaze is built like a rock for a little boy.

"Kyra, come here!"

I yelled, trying to get her away from the boys, fixing to fight.

Blaze punched the boy in the face as I started trying to run to get Kyra out of the way.

"Dane!!"

I screamed as the boys started fighting.

Dane let out a deep growl from behind me somewhere, causing the boys and everyone to stop what they were doing and kneel.

I continued making my way toward the kids.

Blaze still had the little boy pinned to the ground, a slight snarl leaving his lips.

Dane was Dane told him, his voice stern.

Blaze slowly stood, "Levi thought it would be funny to take Kyra’s toy from her, and I told him to give it back."

"It looks like he did give it back considering she is holding it..."

Dane pushed when he didn’t continue.

Blaze sighed, "He called her a name and I warned him he had better stop.He said he wasn’t scared of me and tried to push me,"

Blaze huffed.

Dane looked between the two boys, "Did either of you think about the fact you were fighting with a one-year-old little girl standing just a foot away from you? She could have been hurt."

"You’re doing great babe," Dane told me as he pushed some hair from my sweaty face.

I tried to smile at him, but I was beyond appearance.

"We need to perform a c-section,"

Dr.Hazel stated calmly, "labor has stalled, and I have waited as long as I am comfortable doing.If we wait any longer it could lead to more serious complications for you and baby."

I squeezed Dane’s hand as I fought back the tears, "I will be there with you,"

Dane told me as he kissed my forehead.

Before I knew ita newborn cry echoed through the room, "Congratulations!"

Dr.Hazel exclaimed as she laid our precious baby boy on my chest, "I will have you stitched up in no time.You did amazing Luna."

"Zane," I whispered before looking up at Dane.

His eyebrows scrunched together, "Zane.I want to name him Zane.After you and Zayd."

I didn’t know Dane could smile as wide as he did at that moment.

"I love it, thank you, babe."

His lips met mine, soft but so full of love, One Week Later: I sat on the couch in our living room as Adria cooked breakfast.

Dane was holding Zane and Kyra sat in Zayd’s lap.We were expecting Apollo any minute now.

He was over the moon with the news of Zane and surprised that his birthday is only one day after Kyra’s.

As I watched my little family around me, I couldn’t help but think about how everything is perfect.

I have come to terms with the loss of my wolf and everything that comes with that, though it was hard to do.

I still stand by the choice I made that day and would do it again if I had off this nagging feeling that Devin is plotting his attack, but until that happens there is nothing I can do.

As of right now, my life is perfect.

I only hope it stays that way.
