My Surprise Mate

Chapter 15

I sat straight up as Dane answered the phone, feeling my anxiety starting to build.

“Alpha Kain, what can I do for you?” Dane answered.

I couldn’t hear what Kain was saying but I could see the anger rising in Dane.

“Well, Kain, here’s the thing, Holly is a member of my pack and therefore under my protection.

She isn’t being forced to stay here, but she has talked to me about what is going on.

You, nor anyone in your pack, will make her leave.

As far as the pup goes, you didn’t want it, and there are text messages to prove that, so no you do not have any rights there either.” I could tell Dane was trying hard to keep his cool.

His eyes swirled between blue and grey.

“I understand that, but you only have yourself to blame.

Not my problem, nor is it Holly’s.

Okay, if that’s what you feel you need to do, but understand this Kain, should you choose to do that, I will take it as an attack on my pack and you know damn well you won't win that.” Dane paused, listening to Kain.

I couldn’t make out what he was saying before, but I could hear him now.

Kain wasn’t yelling but he was raising his voice more now.

“I suggest you really think this through.” “You won’t be talking to her anymore.” “How she became part of my pack isn’t your concern.

Remember who you’re talking to next time you call.” Dane hung up the phone, tossing it on the end of the bed.

I sat up on my knees and curled myself into him.

“I don’t want to be the reason for a war,” I mumbled into Dane’s chest.

He inhaled deeply as he buried his nose in my hair.

“You are more than enough reason to go to war baby.

I would fight every last pack in this whole world if it meant keeping you and our pup safe.

Don’t worry, okay.” God this man was so perfect! “Is he planning on coming?” I questioned Dane.

He shrugged his shoulders, “ We'll have to wait and see.” With the mood killed, I decided to take a shower before going to bed.

“Babe, I need to go to the packhouse.

Genesis is here with her son, they are waiting in the living room for you,” Dane told me around the shower curtain.

I smiled at him, “Okay, love you.” “Love you too babe.

” He gave me a quick kiss before he walked out of the bathroom, pulling the door shut behind him.

I didn’t know Ash and Genesis had a son.

I heard the squeal followed by laughter from the little boy in the other room.

I finished quickly and pulled on a new pair of pajamas were so comfortable; I had a feeling I would be wearing them a lot.

I walked into the living room and saw a little blonde-haired boy running circles around the couch as Genesis tried to catch him, “Blaze Price, you better sit your butt down!” she shouted at him.

He just laughed harder until he saw me.

He came to a halt, his eyes widening, “Hi!” I told him.

He smiled as he walked up to me, “Hi.

So, you’re our new Luna? I’m Blaze, future Beta of the Shadowmoon Pack.” He stated proudly.

I was surprised to hear him say that.

I knew that’s what I would be, Luna, but I guess I’m just not sure how to react to the title yet.

“Sorry, he’s just like his daddy, I swear, ” Genesis said as she took Blaze by the hand and led him over to the couch.

I followed behind them, taking a seat at the end of the couch.

Blaze quickly slipped from his mom’s grip and ran over, jumping on the couch next to me, “Blaze!” Genesis started to get on to the little boy.

“It’s okay really,” I laughed.

“So, Blaze, you want to be Beta like your dad, huh? How old are you?” I tried to make conversation with the little boy who was now snuggled up against me.

“I'm 5 years old already.

Have you seen my dad? He’s big and really strong! He’s not as big as Alpha Dane, but to be just like him when I grow up.

He’s going to teach me everything I need to know.” Blaze started bragging about Ash, it was adorable.

“I have met your dad and I don’t know him well yet, but he is definitely very big and strong!” Genesis sat smiling as me and Blaze talked.

“Guess what Luna Holly!?” he was bouncing with excitement at whatever he was going to tell me, “I don’t know, what?” I played along.

“My dad, Beta Ash, he’s starting to train me in fighting.

How cool is that!!” he exclaimed.

This little boy’s energy was contagious.

The pride he had for his dad and who he is radiated off him.

Other than his eyes, he was a spitting image of his father.

He had Genesis’s beautiful blue eyes though.

“You're pregnant.” Blaze looked at me straight-faced, “I am.” Ismiled at him.

He must have heard Genesis and Ash say something.

“You’re having a girl.” I looked at Genesis, “Blaze, that’s enough, don’t make me tell your dad how you are behaving.” I had to laugh at that, poor Blaze’s eyes widened at his mother’s threat.

“I didn’t mean to be rude Luna Holly, but I promise I will always protect and take care of your daughter.

” This boy was too much, but what surprised me was how serious he was when he said it.

“Well, thank you Blaze, but we know that if I do have a girl, she will have someone like you by her side.” “Luna Holly, you’re having a girl, I know it,” he said just as seriously as before.

Genesis shook her head, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what has gotten into him tonight.” I shook my head at her, “It’s okay don’t worry about it.

He’s adorable.” Blaze had now curled up with his head resting on my lap.

Genesis stood up and turned the cartoons on the TV for him to watch.

“Blaze, why don’t you lay down somewhere else sweets.” He quickly shook his head, “Nooo mom, please.

I have to be right here to protect her.” He whined.

“He’s fine,” I waved my hand dismissively at Genesis.

She sat in the chair looking confused as she watched her son doze off in my lap.

“I’ve never heard him talk like this before.

Or act like this before for that matter.” Genesis finally spoke after he was asleep.

“I don’t mind.

So, what have you been up to?” We sat talking and laughing as we waited for Dane and Ash to come back.

It was starting to get late, and exhaustion was Starting to take over.

Genesis had curled up in the recliner and I still sat in the same spot with Blaze asleep in my lap.

Genesis had turned a movie on for us to watch, but she had I woke to the door opening and saw Dane walking in with Ash following close behind.

They both smiled when they saw Blaze asleep on my lap.

Ash walked over to Genesis, waking her up with a kiss, “How’d y'all's night go?” he asked her.

She nodded her head toward me, “I don’t know what has gotten into your mini-me.” she said hesitantly.

What Blaze had said must have really bothered her.

Dane tried to carefully sit down next to me.

Blaze jumped up in a fighting stance, still half asleep, “Blaze Price!” Ash growled at him.

Blaze looked around before he dipped his head, “Sorry Alpha Dane, you scared me.

I thought someone was trying to get to your daughter.” Dane and Ash exchanged looks, “What are you talking about son?” Ash questioned him as he pulled him to sit on his lap.

“Alpha Dane and Luna Holly are having a girl dad, and I promise I will always protect her and take care of her.” He looked so innocent sitting in his dad’s lap.

“Maybe we should talk to him some more about it tomorrow,” Genesis said as she stood up, “it’s late and I think Holly needs some rest.” Blaze slid from his dad’s lap and ran over to me, putting his face close to my belly, “Alpha Dane is here, your dad, so he will protect you tonight.” He hugged me and ran to the door where Dane, Ash, and Genesis stood in shock.

“Alpha Dane, can I come back to your house tomorrow?” he asked Dane as they walked out the door.

“I’m sure you can little man,” Dane ruffled his hair as they walked off.

Now I was confused as to what was going on.

Dane walked up, scooping me off the couch and carrying me to the bedroom.

He laid me down as he stripped down to his boxers and climbed in behind me.

“Is it not normal...the way Blaze was acting?” I whispered in the dark.

“Actually, it’s not...we'll talk about it tomorrow.” He kissed me deeply before pulling me against him.
