Daphne’s POV“You did it again!” Dad began as I held into his arm tighter, his physique, even after fighting, was astonishing and commendable.We all had to return to dad’s pack to find out, what’s next now the enemy was out of the equation, Damien was still nowhere to be found, and I won’t lie, I was scared.Scared that all this still seemed too good to be true, I mean there was no way that Damien had just disappeared into thin air, nobody and no clue as towhere he was too.Another mystery yet to be found was Andrew. I made dad ask the bound up rogues about his whereabouts, and they confessed that indeed he wasn’t dead, but they had no idea where he had been taken.Andrew may have broken the trust I had in him, but then he saved my life and I owed it to him.“Are you ready for the welcome party!” I asked, taking his attention away from my careless act.He shook his head but said nothing to me, “I’m sorry, daddy”.“Aren’t you always sorry?”“I care too much to let myself be killed wit
Daphne's POVI stood upright, with my gaze fixed on the mirror with misty eyes. I couldn't stop my hands from trembling. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't. I was beginning to have cold feet, what if this wasn't going to play out well? What if this would lead to something I couldn't afford? What if? I shook my head dissuading the thoughts that filled my head when the door was pushed open slightly."Daphne" my father stepped in, a gasp escaped from his lips when he saw me and I could tell that he was blown away. " You look…." He bit into his lips, before clasping a hand over his mouth and gulping as his eyes ran over the gown I had on." Stunning" He placed a handout, squeezing mine hard. " Words fail me beautiful, words do…I just cannot find the right word to say and…."I blinked severally, trying to get rid of the tears that had brimmed in my eyes, " Father, take in a deep breath, I am here and…"" How can I…how can I when you are looking this beautiful and stunning, I just c
Daphne's POVI woke up and saw no sight of Rex nor did I see Rory or Ray. I could still feel them in me, filling up my holes throughout the night and making me climax in a way no man had ever made me feel.Funny enough, the only person that had made me climax was Andrew, the thought of him made me feel so weird and sad.So many things have made me think twice about the issues we were having and MARRIAGE!It all felt too quick and the fact that we had no time to bond before now, I’d just hoped that now we were going to bond well enough.No issues, no Alpha Ryder, no Damien, and although I felt bad, no Andrew…Emerald was yet to be found yet and Dad promised that he’ll find her.Tired of lying in bed, I stood up and walked towards the window, looking out of the window my eyes caught Rory coming in and he caught my eyes before winking.I chuckled and entered the bathroom, reluctantly I washed their scents off my body, a smile cascading on my face as the memory from last night kept coming t
Daphne's POVI waited for an answer but was vexed when I got none, what exactly was happening here? I couldn't wrap my hands around the fact that they were hiding something huge from me, what exactly was it that they couldn't say a word at all? My heart kept pounding against its ribcage as different thoughts swarmed my head but I shook it off, not wanting to bother about them. An answer was all I wanted."Come here" Rex wrapped a hand around my shoulders, forcing me to take a seat, I did as he wanted while waiting for answers.My eyes ran through my mates and I swallowed when I noticed they couldn't even meet my gaze, was what they have done so bad?"We are going to let you in on something, although we never saw it as necessary, we guess you should know about how all of this started" I nodded, before placing the phone down, handing it back to Rory whose gaze was sympathetic."Go on" I leaned backward, waiting for them to say what they intended to say." Emily" Rex bit into his lips bef
CHAPTERDaphine POVThey all looked flustered as I waited patiently for a reply, but none was forth coming from any of them. Rex looked a little bit embarrassed and ashamed, while Ray wouldn't dare look me in the eyes. Rory was staring everywhere other than my face."This could only mean one thing and that is the fact that you all are hiding something from me." I walked up to the nearest couch and took my seat, taking closer look at Rex, whose face was giving away several truth that they were obviously hiding."Listen Ivory, there is something we want you to know and we fully hope you would understand and not react in any manner." I watched Ray gave Rory a quick nod, urging him not to speak."Why are you so desperate to hide this strange piece of information away from me. Whatever it is, I can take it." I stated with a shrug. Rex had already stepped backwards, as it was apparent that he was feeling too uncomfortable."We received a call from a young lady, who we thought we would never
EMERALD POVI stood at the edge of the forest, looking out at the rolling hills beyond. The wind was blowing gently, and the sun was shining brightly in the sky. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, trying to focus on the sounds around me. The chirping of birds, the rustling of leaves, and the soft buzzing of bees. It was peaceful and calming, a welcome change from the chaos that had been my life recently.Suddenly, I heard a twig snap behind me, and my eyes snapped open. I turned around, my heart pounding in my chest, and saw him standing there. He was tall and imposing, with broad shoulders and a fierce gaze. I knew who he was, even though I had never met him before. He was the leader of the rogues, the one they called the King. And now, here he was, standing right in front of me. "What do you want?" I asked, my voice shaking slightly.He stepped closer, his eyes never leaving mine. "I've heard about you," he said, his voice low and deep. "You're different from the others. I can
Emily POVEver since the coming of Ivory into the pack, the triplets has been completely distracted away from me. Despite being his fuck mate, I couldn't deny the fact that I wanted something that could raise my status beyond everyone's imagination in the pack.I wanted to be Luna and I was going to make sure I work towards it.I heard multiple knocks on the door and there was only one person, who had such attitude; Nancy. I walked towards the door and pulled it open and found her rushing into the room and closing the door behind me."What's the matter?" I asked as a look of shock was clearly written across her face."What is your problem Audrey? Are you blind or you are just being intentionally ignorant?" Nancy's question came as a surprise. I thought through several issues we had shared in the past and none seem to be clicking with exactly what he had said."I don't get your point." I admired honestly."The girl; Ivory she is taking your place as Luna and you seat down here folding
Daphine P.O.VThe one reaction that I felt the moment I saw the sword suspend on air is shock. Ray had his mouth wide opened. Once I dropped my hands, the sword dropped to the floor."How did you do that?" Ray asked as he slowly walked towards my side, checking the sword. A strange energy filled my body at that moment and I knew this was no ordinary thing."I don't know!" I replied honestly.Ray went down and picked up his sword and pointed it towards me. "That was not ordinary, it seemed magical." I couldn't agree less. However the question worth bearing was how I got to have the power."Can you do it again?" Ray asked as he plunged his sword to the ground. "Try to lift the sword from the floor." He further added."But I don't know how to do that." Ray walked closer to me, holding my hands and staring admiringly."Never say you can't. We may not know the source of this power, but I am sure that it didn't just happen. Believe in it and focus on your energy." His words were motivation.
Daphne POVAs I ran towards the face approaching our pack mansion, the weight of the world lifted off my shoulders. I was no longer scared of being rejected, his face was as warm as ever, the moment I was close, his arms encircled me in a warm embrace. I could feel his heartbeat as I tightened my arms around him."You are the most stubborn child I ever had!" he laughed and I responded, "I am just a true reflection of you and your only child in case you've forgotten"There was a subtle look of admiration in his eyes and that gave me smile across my face. He seemed like a proud father."You got that right, now it's time for us to talk" he said, walking towards the pack house. The journey was ...serene, my father was sharing the news that had filled his days during my absence, it was like nothing had changed except that I was no longer naïve. He spoke of wars, betrayals and how he had handled everything, and I could not stop smiling. He was an Alpha indeed, strong and reliable. I remem
Daphne’s POVThe triplets tried their best not to pretend not to be present…it was almost as though they were trying to lessen the eyes waiting for me to speak.As I opened my mouth, despite my urge to talk…nothing came out.“I got this” I whispered to myself but I could feel my spirit dampen as reality hit me.I couldn’t and if by any chance I messed this up, it would make things harder for the triplets than it already is.“What do you want to tell them?” I heard Rex ask me through the link and I sighed before meeting his eyes.“What I feel as a fellow woman like them”.“Then do, show them who is Luna” he replied and I suddenly found my voice.I didn’t want to bore them with long talk but rather, the plan was to share what I felt as a woman to them and so I did.When I was done talking,I let out a sigh and met their eyes, silence loomed over us for a while before one of them slowly began clapping and soon there was an uproar of applause.The smiles I saw on their faces while they cla

Daphne's POVWith a sigh, I stirred and was hit with the ray of sunshine dancing into the room.I shit my eyes rightly before slightly opening them to adjust to the room's brightness.It took a while for me to get familiar with my surroundings. Slowly, the events that took place the night before filled my mind and a chuckle escaped my lips.Sleepy Ray was so damn sexy, caring and different… I remembered greedily wanting more of the Ray I had seen and hoped that it wasn't just a dream.“Glad to see you had something to smile about upon waking up” I heard someone groggily say, causing me to jerk upon realizing that I wasn't the only one present in the room.Ray stood with a tray in his hands, watching me with an amused look on his face.“I don't think I appreciate being teased so early in the morning” I whined, causing him to laugh softly and sit down beside me.“Early morning, you say?” He teased, putting the tray down.“Good to know your morning starts by 2pm baby girl”, I turned brig
Daphne’s POVThe night was cold and weirdly starry but so many thoughts flooded my head making it hard for me to go to sleep.The disbelief of everything that was happening made it difficult to rest.From my dad not being the Alpha King anymore to being back home and together with my mates.My soft footsteps kissed the cold ground as I wandered around. The Triplets were fast asleep already and judging from the meetings that were held this evening, I knew they needed all the rest they could get, so I chose not to let my insomnia disturb them.It would have been pretty nice to spend the night in their arms, talking about the future we imagine, but then I also longed for some peace and quiet.And just as though the universe could sense I would rather not be disturbed, the night whispered soothing words to me as it welcomed me to the garden.One thing that amused me was the way the brothers had handled their pack in our absence… This same pack was what the late Alpha Ryder wanted them to
Daphne’s POVA part of me was hurt that I wasn't getting the embrace Rex was about getting.The only thing I longed for was to sink into their warmth and take in their scents, I deserved it because it was finally all over.I didn't want to know the reason they had acted that way now, but rather I needed rest. I watched as Rex moved slowly to their side before falling unconscious.The mood immediately changed as he was carried back to the mansion and while I tagged along slowly.I could feel Ray and Rory's gaze on my body causing me to shiver in delight, but right now, Rex required me and as much as their warmth was what I needed to calm down my racing heart, I still detested them due to the way we were treated a little while back.I stayed and watched while Rex was being treated due to the bruises he had gotten from fighting with the soldier.Unable to hold down my curiosity, I asked, “why did you free Rex even though he had killed your soldier?”It took all my willpower to stop mysel
Daphne’s POVMy hand immediately grasped my mouth as those words left my mouth. I didn’t even want to look at Rex because I could burst into tears and tears would make us look guilty here by justifying their judgment.I couldn’t believe the two people who stood grinning in front, and the only emotion that danced on my face was discussed. There was no explanation whatsoever for this decision they had made, even if at all we were imposters…. Weren’t there other ways to find out if indeed we were?We weren’t even asked questions or even investigated.“Is this how the system runs now?” I began, unable to hold myself any longer.“So many things are wrong with your decision” I heard Rex chip in angrily, causing me to smile. The fact that he snapped out of his mood to support me was enough.“No investigation was made, no questions asked. what kind of messed up justice system is this pack now running!?”“What then differentiates you from your dad?” I asked.“You do know I am an Alpha's daugh
Daphne’s POVIt all went too fast, in the blink of an eye we went from analyzing the pack’s environment and the weird reception towards us to being arrested.I opened my eyes softly and met theirs. My mates stood in our front as they whispered among themselves.So many emotions filled me up and my heart thumped in excitement as so many emotions flooded my subconscious.I watched with a smile on my face as they turned to face us with a cold grin plastered on their faces, dampening my spirits.Never was I expecting them to open their arms wide to welcome us, but this reception was just far too cold.I heard a groan from Rex, causing me to be aware of his presence, “Rex?” I called out as he said nothing more to me.“What's going on, Ivy?” He asked me, struggling with the guards that held him captive.“I'm sure I didn't stutter, identify yourself!”“You both entered our borders in a very comfortable manner, as though you know your way around,” Ray said, eyeing us up wearily, causing my he
Daphne's POV“You don't know that this isn't your journey, right?” Uriel asked, stopping us from moving any further with them, while the men stopped in such a way that made me notice that Uriel must have stopped time to speak to us.“What do you mean?” Rex asked, confused, as though he could read my mind.“It seemed like you both have forgotten where you came from, the past you left behind to a face destiny has been calling”“What about the relics and the battle we are to face? I am needed, and you must know” I interrupted.“Your journey stops here, trust me you need to return to balance things, the battle you'll face soon is dependent on how you handle this”“How long ago did you feel as though they were still calling out to you?” he asked me, ignoring the question I had asked earlier, causing Rex’s attention to shift towards me.I never told anyone or even confessed to myself that I could feel the mate pull me towards where they called out to me, but I then realized that after a whi
