The Alpha's Surprised Mate (Book #1 of Silver Moon Series) novel Chapter 45

Forty-Four: Animals

I am sitting at my desk in my office. I have started coming in more. Mykayla just started coming back into the office this week. Nothing has happened in months which is starting to make me suspicious. I have had a weird feeling for the last week. I met with the rest of the guys and voiced my concerns. They all agreed. I am deep in thought when Mykayla walks into my office. I didn't realize she was there until she ran her fingers through my hair.

“You ok.” She asks with concern in her eyes.

“Yeah, I just have a lot on my mind,” I tell her.

I can see her start to shut down like last time when I didn’t tell her what was happening. I grab her hand as she turns to leave and pull her into my lap.

“Hey listen I’ll tell you what’s going on,” I say to her.

I told her everything that we guys talked about. I let her know that we have not found anything. We just had a weird feeling. I lay my head on her chest and let out a sigh. I am still convinced that they are after Mykayla, Kylani, and Mykenzie.

“Seriously, keep that shit at home,” Kaleb says as he walks in unannounced.

“Fuck you, I can guarantee if Kylani showed up here to visit you that you would lock your office and be unavailable for hours.” I snark at him.

He just shrugs his shoulders as he smirks. He can’t argue with me because he knows it’s true. I am glad he found his mate. I know he had been looking since he was 18. I do have to admit that I was a little jealous that Kylani was his mate. I love Mykayla, but for fuck sake, my best friend landed a goddess. I guess having a sexy fae is just as good.

“We need to get home now”, Nate gasps as he comes running in.

“I stand up, grab Mykayla and push her behind me to protect her from something. I see Kaleb tense up, and we look at each other.

“What the fuck is going on?” I demand.

“I just got a mind link from dad. Someone tried to kidnap the kids.” Nate explains, still out of breath.

I hear Mykayla gasp, and I can feel her start to shake.

“Dominick.” I hear her whisper.

I can hear the tears in her voice. I can feel my anger rising. I look at Kaleb and see him trying to mind link someone. I can tell he is pissed that someone tried to kidnap our babies.

“No, the babies are fine. They tried to kidnap Bree, Araya, Mariah, Brenton, and Ziara.” He says.

I hear Mykayla gasp again. I turn around to see her eyes roll back in her head as she passes out. I catch her, and the three of us leave through my private elevator and head home. I have Mykayla lying in my lap as we drive home. She wakes up about halfway home. I can see the panic attack coming, and I tell her it’s going to be ok. When we get home, it is total chaos. I see dad and Uncle Liam walking up to us. I mind-linked Natalya and asked her to come to get Mykayla. She is there in no time. I tell Mykayla to go into the house, and I will let her know what is going on as soon as I find something out. She tells me ok and gives me a kiss. As soon as she is out of earshot, I turn to dad.

“What the fuck! What happened?” I ask, trying to keep my cool.

“Apparently a few people have been watching the kids so they could figure out their schedule. I think they changed tactics because they knew that trying to kidnap the girls is life-threatening.” He explains.

“They were unsuccessful in their kidnapping attempt.” Uncle Liam states.

We all look at him. I let out a breath that I didn’t even realize I was holding. I look at Nate, and he relaxes as well. Considering they tried to take this little sister.

“Who stopped them?” Nate asks.

“No one stopped them,” Dad says, smiling.
