The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 12

Twelve: School and Threats Part 2

Mykayla

Poor Dustin, I knew this week would be a trial for him, but I could tell he was prepared for the first day. After the first day, he started to get the hang of it. Although, getting up earlier was still hard for him. My stress over sending the girls to a physical school calmed down after the third day. By Friday, it all seemed so normal. The girls were always excited to go to school and just as excited to tell us about the days that night during dinner. It made me smile to see that they were happy and comfortable here. They still don’t know about werewolves, and I am not sure when or how I am going to explain that topic. It’s Friday night, and we are all sitting outside by the pool, watching all the kids play and burn off some of their energy before bed. We are sitting there talking when I hear a howl. It doesn’t sound like a good howl. I look over at Kaleb, and he is obviously receiving a mind link from one of the patrols. Suddenly, the kids are being told to go to their homes.

“I need you and the girls to go inside now,” Dustin demands.

I look at him, and instantly fear rises up. He looks furious, and I actually flinch at his words. I have not ever heard him talk like this to me before. His eyes are that dark navy colour, and I can tell by his tone that Demetri is the one talking to me. I yell at the girls to get their attention and tell them to come here. I walk with them into the house and watch as Dustin, Kaleb, and Nate run towards the wood and shift into their wolves. I watch until they are too deep into the woods to see.

It’s well after 11:00 pm when I hear a rustle in the trees. I have come back out to watch for them to come back. I have been sitting out there wrapped in a light blanket for probably an hour when they come back. It is a surreal sight to see three large wolves walking toward you. I feel a spark of fear rise in me, and I stand up and take half a step back. I know I have nothing to fear but my flight or fight response kicks in. As I take the half step back, I hear a deep whimper. I look up and see the three of them in front of me. I have to admit all three have very handsome wolves. Kaleb’s wolf is a chocolate brown with a hint of red in it. He still has his hazel eyes. Nate’s wolf is a deep red with a dusting of dark blonde running throughout the fur. Dustin’s wolf is huge and is a solid Silvery white colour. What makes his wolf even more striking is his crystal ice blue eyes. Another whimper pulls me out of my thoughts, and I look at them. I haven’t even realized I have backed up more.

“Sorry guys, I promise I am not scared of any of you. It’s just seeing three massive wolves walk up to me; I guess my natural human response kicked in. Please don’t be mad at me.” I cry out, apologizing.

At the first sounds of popping bones, I close my eyes. I don’t open them till I feel a hand on my cheek as sparks shoot down the side of my neck. I open my eyes to see Dustin standing there with a worried look on his face. I can see Kaleb and Nate standing behind him and off to the side.
