My Surprise Mate
Chapter 4

Dane closed his eyes taking a few deep breaths his grip tightening on the steering wheel briefly before he finally relaxed some.

"I don't know how much you know about werewolves.but either myself or my mother can explain it to you if you Add give us a chance.And you're not a problem or causing any problems so get that out of your head. don't want you to Previous Table of contents leave."

He started driving again until we reached a long muddy driveway.

I could see a huge house off in the distance, Next Display options lights glowing in the window all ready.

There was a medium size home behind the larger one and a few cars parked out front.

I immediately noticed that one of the vehicles was Dane's mother's pickup.

Both houses were bigger than anything I had ever lived in before.

The outside was nice, simple wooden structures, but I Follow I far from shabby.

Dane continued driving past the first, larger house to the smaller one behind it.

"This is our guest house.It's not much, but I hope you are comfortable.”

Dane told me as he parked right in front of the large wrap around porch "Not much?”

I questioned him, "Are you being sarcastic?"

I wasn't sure if he really believed that or if he was just trying to be funny.

"I be in to talk to you as soon as I'm done here."

The man nodded at Dane and quickly spun on his heel making his way back to the other house. "Sorry." Dane told me as he grabbed my bag for me.

I followed behind him as he climbed the steps up the porch

"It sure is dark out here like really damn dark.” I told him as I looked around.

The only lights were the ones shining in the big house.

There were no outside lights on no sort of streetlights or lamps, just pitch black.

"We have lights out here, but we don't turn them on very often.Are you scared of the dark?? I can turn them on for you if it would make you feel more safe and comfortable.” He replied as he opened the front door and walked inside.

He quickly reached over and flipped a switch illuminating a huge living room I slowly looked around in awe.It was beautiful.

Two large leather couches and a leather reclining chair sat in front of a fireplace.

There was a solid wood coffee table place in the middle of them with matching end tables between them all.

A fluffy cream-colored rug covered most of the hard wood floor The walls were a cream color, matching the rug

There wasn't very much hanging on the walls, a few décor items but that was about it.I felt so out of place already and I hadn't even made it past the living room.I would never be able to afford to stay in a place even half as nice as this house was.

"What do you think?" Dane asked me, pulling me from my own thoughts.

"Umm it's absolutely stunning.I can't stay here though.”

I looked down at the floor feeling embarrassed.l couldn't stay here.

There is no way I could afford to pay him for even one night.

"Why not? Did I do something wrong?" he asked me.

Was that pain I heard in his voice? Why would he give a crap about what I think, or if he did something wrong?

"No.no it's not that.You have been very nice to me.l just..well I can't afford to pay you to stay here.It's definitely out of my price range.”

I told him as I tried to hide my embarrassment, "I really do appreciate it though, but if you can just take me back to my car.I'll go somewhere else.Sorry if I've been an inconvenient and wasted your time."

I quickly added as I grabbed my bag he had sat down on the couch The embarrassment I felt was almost too much.

I could feel my eyes starting to burn from the tears that were springing up.! tried to make my way back out the front door without him noticing the fact that I'm trying not to cry.l didn't want him feeling sorry for me, or like he had to let me stay here.l would be fine, I always managed somehow, and this night isn't any different.
