My Surprise Mate (Book 1+ 2) novel Chapter 58

Blaze POV

I would be lying if I said her words didn't hurt.I know she's hurting right now, but the way her whole demeanor changed was a little worrisome.I wish she would stop and let herself process everything that has happened.I wish she would just talk to me.I know I might not have answers or even the right thing to say, but I believe just talking about it would help her.I want her to know she isn't alone in this.I was able to mind link our parents for a while, but we've been running north for the last two hours, not even wolf form.

Last Alpha Dane said was to keep her safe and that he and a few others would be right behind us.

They plan on following our scent since I'm not sure which way we will be going next.I wasn't sure why she even chose north to begin with.

"We should stop and rest for a little while,” I told Kyra, breaking the silence.

She didn't respond but did finally slow down and come to a stop near the small river.

I sat down next to her on the bank, feeling the exhaustion quickly taking over, “Why north?" I questioned.

I just want her to talk to me.

“Did you not smell him?" she finally responded to me, her voice void of any emotion.

"No, I haven't caught his scent once.You did?" She nodded her head as she stared off into the darkness.

"Maybe that's going to be one of your many specialties...” I trailed off.

Ididn't care what we talked about; I was just trying to get her to talk.

The way she was acting right now scared me.

"Maybe," she said softly, "I guess we can rest awhile.You can sleep for a little bit, and I'll watch for any threats.”

I laughed and shook my head, pulled her to her feet with me.

There was no way I was going to sleep first.

Not that I don’t trust her, but I don’t know that I trust this version of her.

She didn't even want me to come with her in the first place; who's to say she won't take off while I'm asleep.I sat down under a tree and stretched my legs out in front of me.

“Sleep,” I told her as I patted my leg, "I'll be your pillow."

And to my surprise, a small smile appeared.

It was only there for a second, but it gave me hope that I could still get through to her.

She laid down, resting her head on my leg, and I draped my arm across her as I began caressing her hair.

"Blaze?" she whispered, getting my attention.

"Yeah?" "Thank you for coming with me.”

“I'll always be with you, Kyra, even if you don't want me to." I leaned down and kissed the top of her head as she closed her eyes.

It didn’t take her long to fall asleep, and I hoped she would be back to her usual self when she woke up.

Alpha? I called out with my mind.If I had any luck, he would be close enough to hear me.

Here.

Where arey'all? I sighed when he responded.

This means he must be close.

Resting near the small river.

Kyra is asleep now.

I don't know how close you should get.I hate to piss her off.I could hear Alpha Dane chuckle through the link;I wnderstand.

For now, we'll keep some distance.

Has she spoken to you yet? Yes.

Have you caught Devin's scent at all? No, we haven't...why? kyra did.
