DAPHINE POVThe wolves moved in slowly, surrounding us in a wide circle. The Alpha stood in front of me, her body tense and ready for battle. I stood behind her, my heart pounding in my chest. I had never been in a situation like this before, and I wasn't sure what to do. I felt a warm, wet nose nudge my hand, and I looked down to see the pup looking up at me. He looked scared, but he was trying to be brave. I reached down and stroked his head, trying to give him some comfort.The lead wolf stepped forward, its eyes fixed on the Alpha. It let out a low, menacing growl, and I could feel the hair on the back of my neck standing up. The Alpha didn't back down, standing her ground and growling back. The two wolves were locked in a standoff, neither one willing to make the first move. Then, without warning, the lead wolf lunged forward. The Alpha met its attack head-on, the two of them snarling and snapping at each other. I could hear the other wolves growling and howling, egging their lea
DAPHINE POVThe Alpha nodded, her gaze filled with wisdom and understanding. "Now go," she said, with a smile. "Your friends are waiting for you." I turned, knowing that it was time to leave. I took a deep breath, and then began to walk away. I felt a sense of peace as I moved through the trees, the moonlight filtering through the branches. I knew that my life would never be the same, but I also knew that I was ready for whatever came next. I was ready to face my future, whatever it might hold.As I walked, I felt a sudden warmth in my chest, like a small fire had been lit within me. I knew then that the Alpha had given me a gift - a piece of her light, to guide me on my way. I took comfort in the knowledge that I was not alone, that there was always someone watching over me. I felt a renewed sense of strength, and I knew that I could face whatever challenges the future might bring. I was ready to take on the world, and make it a better place.As I reached the edge of the forest, I st
DAPHINE POVWith those words, I felt a weight lift from my shoulders. I realized that I had been carrying a burden of regret and sorrow for years, without even realizing it. But now, I was free of it. I was at peace. As I looked around, I saw the faces of my loved ones, and I knew that we would be together forever. And I felt a profound sense of joy and contentment. I was home, at last.And with that, I began a new chapter of my eternal journey. One filled with love, friendship, and peace.The meadow around me began to shimmer and shift, and I found myself in a vast desert, the sand blowing in the wind. And there, in the distance, I saw a shadowy figure, walking towards me. I couldn't make out the person's features, but I felt a sense of danger and foreboding. As the figure got closer, I began to feel the earth shake beneath my feet. I knew I was in the presence of something powerful and frightening.As the figure drew closer, I saw that it was not human, but something else entirely.
Daphine POVAs I looked up into the night, I felt a mix of emotions. I cared for him deeply, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for marriage. It felt like such a big step, and I wasn't sure if I was ready to take it. I wanted to be with him, but I wasn't sure if I was ready for the commitment that came with it. I knew he loved me, and I loved him too, but was that enough? Was it enough to build a life together? I just wasn't sure.The thought of marriage was overwhelming. I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like. I imagined a life with Rex, with all the ups and downs that came with it. I pictured us growing old together, going through the good times and the bad. But I also pictured all the things that could go wrong. I knew that a marriage was not always easy, and I wasn't sure if I was ready to take that risk. I loved him, but was that enough?Rex must have seen the hesitation in my eyes, because he took my hand and looked at me with such sincerity. "We don't have to rush into
Daphine POVMorning came faster than I had thought and I still haven't spoken with Rex. Deep down I felt frustrated, knowing we were not on talking terms. It didn't however stopped me from not being with Mr. Hal in the training ground."Great to see you back again Ivory." Mr. Hal all dressed in his dark robe commented. "Seems something is going on with you, I noticed how grumpy you looked while stepping into the training ground." I sat beside him and gave a fake smile, assuring that I was fine."Alright then, let's start for the day." He pulled a scroll out of his cloak and spread it wide enough to reveal unbelievable diagrams. "I need you to be equipped on the knowledge of your power." He pointed at one of the diagrams. "The world as we know it, is divided into four parts; the witch covens, the human Kingdom, the Werewolf Packs and the vampire kingdoms." Staring at the diagram, I noticed the several territories that he was pointing out and realized the humans were majority across."
Daphine POVRex and I, stared at Levi and Rose, who had goofy smiles on their faces. It was rather much embarrassing, knowing they had caught us in the act, with little or no excuse to evade the situation."Why are you both here?" I asked, feeling slightly embarrassed and moving away from Rex further than I was in the moment."Well, a little birdie told us about an action happening in the training room and we realized we needed to come see for ourselves." I stared at Rex, who was staring back in wonderment as to who had let them in on the situation."I think I did." We both turned to the doorway and Mr. Halway stepped in with a smile on his face. "I mean it has been there for a long time, the tension between you both needed to be broken and what a perfect way to break it." He finished off with a smile on his face."We were just caught up in the moment." I chipped in and they all laughed out. Looking around, I noticed Rex's mood had changed. Whatever was bothering him, was certainly re
CHAPTER Daphine POV"I love you." I revealed, the moment I pulled off from his soft lips. "Rex, I knowy statement earlier on had affected you and I need you to understand that I was simply scared of myself. I haven't been in this sort of situation before. The feeling was new." I confessed as Rex listened on."I had loved you from the very first day you saved me from the witches and I would never ever be grateful enough. I would forever place it as an amazing mystery that I fell in love with a human." He placed his hands on my lips, stopping any further words from coming out of my mouth."That is all the confirmation I need from you." Again, he held my chin and lean in to capture my lips in a passionate kiss. This time, I knew I needed not to hold back any longer. I wanted this and he wanted it as well.Standing up from his sitting position, Rex hoisted me up in his hands, showing to me how strong he could be. He placed me gently on the bed and slowly deepened the kiss. His hands slo
Daphine POVGetting up from the floor, I still looked absolutely deep in thought about what I had just witnessed. “The least you can do is say something.” Levi urged on as he stared down at me.“I need to see Rex immediately!” I revealed my thoughts.“Why would you want to see Rex? We are in the middle of a training, and you want to be with your boyfriend.” I stared back at Levi with so much disdain, due to the comments he had made regarding Rex.“This is very time-sensitive, Mr. Halway, you need to understand.” I watched on as the wizard stared into space. I wondered what was going through his head of his and, furthermore, why he had refused to give me an answer at that instant.“I guess destiny has always been meant to happen one day, and I am guessing it is this moment.” Mr. Halway commented with a smile directed in my direction. “It took you long enough to finally see what has been there.” I stared in disbelief as I realized he knew everything, but had chosen to keep mute.After
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
