My Surprise Mate (Book 1+ 2) novel Chapter 49

To say I had a restless night would be an understatement.

Devin kept Blaze chained up with his hands in the air, and I was trying to sleep on the cold concrete floor next to his feet.

We had yet to be given any food since Devin kidnapped us, and I was beginning to feel weak and sick.

I can only imagine how Blaze was feeling.

He was the one that had been beaten more than once already, but I did notice his wounds were starting to heal more now that the wolfsbane was out of his system.

Thanks to my little stunt, Devin had forgotten to poison Blaze again.

At least one good thing had come from that.

"Kyra...I know you are tired, but you need to get up and try to move around.I don’t want you losing all your strength from just laying here," Blaze said softly.

My body was sore and stiff, and the last thing I wanted to do was get up and move.

But I would do anything Blaze asked me if it would keep him from worrying about me right now.I slowly stood up, stretching my arms above my head.

"The moon goddess came to me," I told Blaze, trying to fill the silence in the room.

"She didn’t say very much.She told me that I am the one from the prophecy, and I am the key to uniting the species."

I looked at Blaze, who had a slight smile on his face, "I always knew it was you.What else did she say?"

He sounded hopeful.

I stepped closer to him to whisper in his ear, "she said silver will never that to yourself,"he said seriously.

I nodded in understanding, "she also said that there would be things that I will have to witness but to remember, they won’t last forever.Unfortunately, she didn’t really tell me anything that could be useful to us right now."

I was disappointed that she didn’t give me even a clue on how to get out of our current situation.

"She told you what you needed to know right now, and that’s enough." Blaze an ever-optimistic person.

"Can I ask you something?" I questioned him, my curiosity getting the better of me, "sure, anything..." he replied.

"Did you mean to call me babe? " I watched as Blaze looked down at the floor, a blush covering his bruised face.

"I—I don’t think I can answer that right now," he stuttered.

I had never heard him stutter before either, and I found it cute.

My eyes looked over him, stopping at his waist.I hadn’t even realized he was naked.

Of course, he would be; he had shifted to fight the rouges when they had appeared.I began pacing the small area, trying to ignore the butterflies that were taking flight in my stomach.

Why did I feel nervous all of a sudden? The sound of whistling let us know someone was fixing to enter our cell.I took my place in front of Blaze again, "Kyra, please, you don’t need to protect me.Stand behind me."

I ignored him as I stared at the door, waiting to see who it would be.

To our surprise, it was Trey, and he had one plate of food in his hands.

"So Devin said the two of y’all can decide who gets to eat."

He set the plate on the floor before leaving without another word walking over and grabbing the food.

One slice of bread, a scoop of corn, and what I think was some hamburger meat sat on the small plate.

Thankfully he had also left a bottle of water next to it.

I walked back over to Blaze and set the plate on the floor before opening the water and holding it to his lips, "Here, take a drink."

He shook his head, "No, Kyra, you need it more than me.Drink the water slowly, save some for later and eat the food.But hold it up here so I can smell it first.I want to make sure they didn’t put anything in it."

Again, Blaze was trying to put me before himself.

"We'll share, "I said as I looked into his eyes.Even though they were slightly swollen still, the beautiful sky blue still seemed to shine through.It felt like all time stood still.

"Breath Kyra," Blaze said with a smirk on his face.

I could feel the heat rush to my cheeks as I cleared my throat, "Sorry,"

I mumbled as I held the water to his lips again, "Take a drink."

As he took a sip, I noticed how full his lips were and couldn’t stop myself from thinking about how nice they would feel against mine.

I shook my head as Blaze cleared his throat.I don’t know what has gotten into me; it must be because of our situation and Blaze trying to protect me that has me ogling him suddenly.

This is not the place or the time; I scolded myself mentally.

I held the plate up so Blaze could smell it, and he gave me the okay to eat.I took a small bite of meat and corn and then gave him the same amount.I did this until there was nothing left; I hadn’t even realized how I had been staring at him.

"You know, getting to see you are so much more than that."

His words snapped me back to reality, causing me to blush again.
