Novel & Cerita My Surprise Mate

“Some people really are lucky! That pregnant lady who just came in? Barely had a stomach cramp, and her beta mate was freaking out, ready to call the entire pack of healers. “Unlike this one. Nearly died from an allergic reaction, and her mate didn’t even show up. Might as well be dead…” I thought I could hold back all the bitterness until the day I left. However, at that moment, my grief crashed down on me. Loneliness flooded in and crashed on me like a tidal wave. Of course, my mate had died. He died on the battlefield three months ago, the moment he chose to live under his brother’s name. I buried my face in the blanket and let the tears soak my pillow in silence. The day I was discharged

The warmth that had surrounded our bond vanished in an instant, replaced by confusion and disbelief washing over me all at once. "But I am your mate. How's that even possible?" My voice had become little more than a whisper. "You and I are already bonded." I continued, searching his face desperately, hoping he would tell me this was all some terrible misunderstanding. "How can you possibly mate with another woman, Dominic?”

he says, shocking me. Wait….my mate found me?

Wait. …Mates?

The nouns floating weightlessly in the space, sharp and heavy as a scalpel. Aurora’s brows furrowed. "Mate with my mate? I have no mate," she declared stiffly as she got to her feet. Her gaze was steady, yet her heart drummed in her chest. "You’re mistaken, witch. If you’re talking about Sage, he’s not my mate. He’s just—"

It's so loud and so visceral, everyone just stops. "You have no right to take me away from my mate," he says and I swear my stomach just won an olympic gold metal with the summersaults it's doing. That's Mr Wolf right there, calling me his mate. I might pass out, "If you want to try, I will propose a challenge."

"I don’t want to lose my powers because he left." "Who said you will lose your powers?" "I will because I’m eighteen and I’m rejected," I replied, the reality of my situation crashing down on me. "Well, what do you say I will be your mate?" he suggested, his voice steady and sincere. I looked at him in shock and confusion. I was about to speak when he interjected, "I overheard you talking, and I just couldn’t let you get your life ruined because of a bastard who decided to be a cheat. So what do you say? You and I become mates?"

I stared at Selene in shock, my jaw dropping to the floor as she finished her proclamation. I couldn't believe my ears. Mate? Ryan? Me? My brain short-circuited as I tried to make sense of this revelation. My eyes widened so much, I was pretty sure they were about to pop right out of my head. My mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water, but no words came out. I couldn't help but giggle at the absurdity of it all, feeling a blush spread across my cheeks.

"So, do you like my surprise?" --

"So, you have a harlem of dimwits tailing you, huh?" "Jealous?" It was my turn to tease him that I wiggled my brows. He 'tsked' at my notion before smirking. "Why would I be?" "Why shouldn't you be?" "I'm your mate, remember?" And that shut me up. Well played, Salazar. Salazar-1, Suerinity-0. "So you liked the flowers?" "Hmm?" "The flowers those pups sent you," he sounded sarcastic and I laughed. "What's so funny?"
