Surprise Mating Read Online Free Page A

a striking trio.
    She had been here for a couple of weeks, and she still had not seen the whole place yet.  She looked and took note of certain places she thought Ms. Praton would likely be.  Like the library, surely a woman of her stature would spend time in a library. 
    “ So what is the deal here?” Sydney said finally.  “I am assuming everyone will be there tonight, who exactly will be there though?”
    “ Everyone,” Kiki laughed.
    “ Oh, like the Alphas?” Sydney pressed a little.
    “ Sure,” Thomas shrugged and said, “plus, everyone and their brother, too.”
    Sydney want ed to yell in frustration.  How was she ever going to find the woman she wanted to talk to if no one ever seemed to mention her? She bit her lip and thought about all she knew, which of course lately was more about herself than Ms. Praton.  They had shown her her ancestors and read her history about the Chosen until her head was spinning.
    “ What about the Drekinn before, you know, when you didn’t know all about this stuff?” she asked.
    “ That was Ms. Praton and Brooks who built the Drekinn Agency to what it was.  They worked tirelessly together to make sure they were able to protect shifters and magical creatures as well as humans,” Kiki said.  “You know, I wonder if Brooks and Pilar will get together finally, I mean enter a room with them in it, and it is like fireworks, they love to argue about every thing.”
    Thomas snorted and said, “I wonder if they have a third as well.  They would have their own built-in referee.”
    “ Pilar was nice, I haven’t met Brooks or Ms. Praton,” Sydney admitted slowly thinking she may have suddenly caught a break.
    The men looked at her and frowned and Kiki was about to say something when there was a cry from down the hallway.  Sydney turned in enough time to see a gaggle of women cheering and talking to one another about something.
    “ Oh hell,” Thomas said and tightened his hand on hers that rested on his arm.
    “ What is the excitement?!” Kiki yelled and Sydney saw three gorgeous women turn and look at them.  Calli, Cherri, and Rissa, the head bitches in charge.  That was the only words she could use to describe the three.  
    According to rumor, they were all lethal and smart.  Since they started with the Drekinn, they had made it a mission to make a better life for shifters.  Cherri was the Head of the Medical Research, while Rissa the Head of Tech.  However, Calli was an Alpha through and through.  She was the head of the security.  Calli could make someone shake in fear with one look. Sydney knew first hand when she first met the Alpha Bitch, as she liked to be referred as, Calli scared the shit out of her.
    “ Kiki!!” Rissa yelled and ran down the hallway.  If Sydney hadn’t known the woman’s reputation, she would have called her a cute puppy.  Realistically she should be afraid—the woman was crazy.  “I know this is about you and your mates tonight, but I couldn’t keep a secret, Calli and Cherri are miffed, but they will get over it.”
    “ Ris, tell us!” Kiki said in exasperation.  He knew if his best friend got on a roll, that would be it.  They would be standing there for hours listening to her life story, again.
    “ We are having a baby!” Rissa crowed loudly and jumped up and down.
    Kiki looked stunned and Thomas had the expression of horror on his face.  “ Who?”
    Rissa cocked her head and grinned.  “ Well it's not me. I still have to sleep with one eye open, you know, I married a murderer, duh.”
    Kiki looked beyond her to where Calli and Cherri were standing.  Cherri was excited and bubbly, like normal, but Calli looked like she was going to be sick to her stomach.  “Calli?”
    “ Yay, an Alpha baby.”  Rissa clapped.
    Kiki and Thomas roared with laughter.  Sydney looked at the people around her, wondering what the hell was going on.  She would have thought that congratulations were in order.
    “ No fucking
