After getting off the phone with Daisy I forced myself to calm down, I go over everything she told be about these talismans that Ace could be using to hide his location, it makes sense, and the fact that I now have the means to slip past his defences helps me to calm down, working myself into a panic would not help anyone, especially if they did actually need me. I managed to hold myself together for another hour after speaking to my twin, but there was still no word from my guys, I couldn’t take it anymore so I called Jack, I needed to know if he had had any news, sitting at my desk I pushed the papers to one side and grabbed the phone, I listen to it ring for what feels like an eternity with no answer from Jack before I decide to try Jason.
Jason answered before the first ring even completed, as though he were sitting watching

She wanted me,” A shudder ripped through Mark at that and I had to contain a chuckle at h

Cassie -Jason comes crashing into the hospital room while I am trying to gather up the courage to discuss the possible causes for my (for want of a better word) ‘visions’ of my lost loved ones as well as the reason behind my fall down the stairs, since I don’t want to put my pups at risk, so I need to know what to do to stop this from happening again. I have made the connection that the visions began around the time of conception so it might be something the pups are causing, but I still need to know so that I can prevent them from happening in the future and potentially injuring myself or them. What if I have a vision of my mother, they are so realistic that I have caught myself moving towards the apparition, and I step in front of a moving vehicle, or I could trip and fall down the stairs, or, well, the possibilities are endless, as are the dangers. So I was just ab
Last Updated : 2024-06-20Deceived by the Delta Chapter 25 - What started it all…
17 years ago….The Seer was a wise young woman, with a streak of mischief, she was a meddler and was always cryptic in delivering her message, she often enjoyed speaking in riddles and watching the person struggle to find the meaning in her words and then watching from afar as they fvck up repeatedly. She knew what she told them to be true, but she was purposely vague so as to create drama, twisting some of her words and changing others to cause confusion. This gave her great entertainment as she followed the paths taken by those who had the misfortune to request her assistance. The Seer was in fact incredibly gifted, her sight was never skewed and always found a way to come to fruition, no matter how the targets acted to either bring it to pass or to thwart destiny. Her anger stemmed from the assumption others made that she was there to serve their purpose. She had been beaten for delivering bad ne

Present day -Author POV-Maddie was fuming, she had no clue as to how this had just transpired. But she was slowly catching on. Her thoughts all jumbled as she tried in vain to get out of this predicament without needing someone else to witness her humiliation.Maddie believes her and Ace are destined to be together, even if they are not fated mates, some aspects of their relationship are not ideal but she has come to accept their reality as fact. Her Father has often told her of the future the Seer foresaw, though over the years the story was mangled and contorted in his mind just enough to ensure difficult times ahead for them all.Because of the story told by her Father, Maddie and Ace both bel

Dave -I think we finally got them all, we now have a small pile of these talismans that we have gathered from around the entrance of the mountains cave as well as inside, it seems that they are not overly powerful based on the sheer quantity, I mean the phrase quality over quantity must be a phrase for a reason right?Anyway, after we spent a good half an hour searching the weeds and brush around the entrances of the various caves, as well as any cracks and crevices in the mountain wall we could spot, we think we have finally found them all. Mark says he feels closer, like his memory is more solid, so he has gone ahead a little to confirm the path is now clear in his mind. Before his mind was blurring the closer he seemed to get to the right path, like something was blocking his memories, he could remember everything while we were outside l

Author POV -Dave, having followed Ace and the witch, crept slowly towards the edge of the clearing they had stopped in, making sure that Ace and the witch were in his sight. Ace was pacing back and forth, almost frothing at the mouth in rage. He turns to the witch and grabs her by her throat.“How did they get past your spells, witch? You told me the camp would remain safe and hidden, but clearly you have failed, your spells must be as weak and pathetic as you are.”He throws her body away from himself and she lands heavily on the ground. Her sputtering is clearly audible as she struggles to get to her feet again. Dave waits to see what her answer will be, hidden behind a tree downwind of his prey.“The… spells… are…. good…. Alpha,” She gasps on

Author POV -Maddie ran to her tent as soon as she saw the rogues approaching, she was sure they would be able to hold off what looked to be a group of what, 5 measly warriors? It didn’t even cross her mind that they would be able to free those trapped in the cages, just as it did not cross her mind to question how they had found the place to begin with. Sure, that guy she had taken to her tent had escaped, but it had never occurred to her that they would work out that a witch was helping them in any way.It never occurred to Maddie to wonder how they had gotten around the witch's spells in the first place. She knew a witch had spelled the area, she knew that those spells were meant to keep everyone out but as she had not left herself she did not know how it worked beyond that it had until she let someone escape. Now her pr

Author POV -While Brian, Mark and the others are fighting and detaining the rogues along with Maddie and her father, Jack and Dave make their moves, Dave fades into the trees and makes his way around the clearing, following the path Ace has taken. Thankfully, Ace’s scent is strong and Dave is easily able to pick it up and follow him. Jack steps into the clearing and makes his way over to the woman lying on the floor. Crouching down beside her he pulls her attention away from her wounds. The fear in her eyes at his sudden appearance is palpable. She had not heard him approaching and had had no sense of anyone watching her in her misery and pain.“Please,” she practically begs, “I didn’t want to, I never meant to cause anyone harm. He saved me, you have to understand, please” Jack frowns, since she has work

Dave POV - A cheer suddenly erupts from the crowd, clearly they are of the same opinion as us. As the crowd quieted once more the doors at the back of the hall burst open and Brian and Mark came striding in, followed by about 20 she-wolves that I didn’t recognise. They filed in but didn’t speak. I took this to mean they simply wanted to be here. Joe had arranged for three guards to be waiting by the prisoners so they could be brought out one by one. I turned to him now and nodded, he left and helped them bring in all three prisoners. Jack and Nick stepped up at that point, Nick took ahold of Ace and Jack took ahold of Maddie’s father. Joe stood with Maddie.“Please bring Ace forwards, Maddie will go last.” I say clearly and watch as her eyes scan the people in the room, widening as she realises the seriousness of the situation.Nick steps forward, forcing Ace to walk with him and they stand in the middle of the stage. “Ace, your crimes are as follows; Torture of pack members under
Deceived by the Delta Chapter 79 - Moment of truth.
Author POV - The group of 5 made their way through the pack house and out into the darkening afternoon. A storm was brewing on the horizon and the wind was picking up, tossing leaves and debris from the construction sites about them. Nobody else was outside at this time, everyone settling down in the dining hall or attending to their duties. Steve, the head guard, leading the way with Daisy and Joe flanking their prisoner and Dave, defeated, following behind. Maddie, though captured and for all intents and purposes defeated, held her head high, spitting venomous words to Dave over her shoulder, sneering at him, hissing in a low voice that carried over the wind about his worthlessness, comparing him to Ace and finding him lacking. Daisy drops Maddie’s arm and quickly moves the scarf that Maddie was wearing as a fashion accessory up to cover her mouth, tightening it until only muffled grunts could be heard, she then returns to Maddie’s side and grins at the glare Maddie is sending her
Deceived by the Delta Chapter 78 - Revelations.
Dave POV - I run through options in my mind, my link with Daisy open so she can hear what I am thinking. I could offer her the chance to leave and live, I could banish her, I could lock her up, but none of it seemed right, none of it felt right. How could I do that to the mother of my child? What would I tell my pup about their own mother? Would she even agree to leave the child behind?Of course she would, she is selfish, a pup would only slow her down, but, I know you don’t want to hear this, but, I don’t think we could trust her if we let her go, she would always be a risk to us, even without Ace around. She’s right, I know she is, but I can’t do it, I won’t. Not if she really is carrying my pup.I can barely breathe right now, the worry, pain, deceit clawing it’s way up my throat. But Daisy’s right, first we need to see how she reacts to what I overheard, then how she reacts to the direct accusation I plan to throw her way. Once we have determined her guilt we will cuff her and

Daisy POV - Dave is hiding away in his office, I saw Maddie in the kitchen and asked her, he is blocking my mind link and I swear to the Goddess I am about to explode on him… he can’t keep me out of the loop on these kinds of things, I’m his Beta, regardless of my personal life, the pack comes first. I convince Maddie to come with us, we need all hands on deck for this, and the three of us make our way to Dave’s office. I don’t knock, I just push the door open.Surprisingly, I see Dave startle and shove something under his desk. Confusion and alarm flitter through me when I realise what he did, is he hiding something from me? No, I am being paranoid, he had no idea who it was coming through the door, maybe he wanted to keep something hidden from the guards… but then again, even Maddie wouldn’t just barge in, everybody else would knock and wait to be permitted entrance, but why is he so jumpy?Dave quickly collects himself and glances behind me to see who I have brought up with me.

Dave POV - If Daisy were not otherwise engaged this would have been dealt with by now, as it is, I am glad that I was one of the 2 people to get stuck down here. Once Maria had moved across the gap to sit with me while we waited, we had talked a little, which was my failed attempt at distracting her. I had mind-linked a few of the guys that I knew were close by, but I didn’t want to ignore Maria for too long, so I gave them an idea of what needed to be done to get us out of here. I could sense Maria’s fear, this went deeper than I could understand, for Maria, this was a true horror, bordering on phobia based on her reaction.. During one of the long silences in which I simply held Maria’s hand for comfort, something else filled the silence. A muffled sound, like people speaking, but it was distant, as though through a wall. I gave Maria’s hand a gentle squeeze and whispered that I would be right back, then I focused my hearing, and my vision on the walls. I made my way around the edg

Maddie POV - I’m not sure how I feel right now, I’m almost 100% sure I am now pregnant, the nausea I experienced yesterday pretty much confirmed it. Its not like I can go to a doctor to check though, the last thing I need is for anyone else to know. They can have their suspicions, but until Ace is free I can’t risk them knowing. If people know, they will expect Dave and I to complete this damn bond and mark each other. Since I have no intention of allowing that to happen, I have to keep this a secret.Today I’m going to do it, I had to put off the plan yesterday thanks to the nauseousness, but I managed to sneak a few herbs from that new herb garden last night and they have eased the discomfort. Although I will admit that being forced to wait a day has actually made my plan much easier, no need to worry about Daisy and her lug of a mate, they are both too wrapped up in each other to worry about what I am up to. So I only need to get rid of Dave and the prison guards for long enough t

Maddie - Pride fills me as I listen from the other side of the door to the commotion, I did that, I created that distraction all by myself, my plan, my execution, my success. Turning from the door I follow the same path as before and make my way to Ace. I can prepared this time, I brought some decent food, a couple of candles for light and a book I know he likes to help him fill the hours while I execute my plan to get him out of here. “Ace, my love” I say quietly when I am only 1 cell away, “I don’t have long, but I have news, and I brought you some things” I pull level with his cell and light one of the candles so I can see him more clearly. He is stretched out on the cot, head turned to me, a small smile graces his handsome face. He stands up, moving like a liquid, and walks to the bars, careful not to touch them. “Maddie, You came back, and what news do you have? I am intrigued,” His tone gives away his true feelings, he misses me, misses my touch, I can almost feel his fingers

Daisy POV - Joe’s words seem to aim right for my heart, which feels like it is about to explode. I have no idea what he is talking about, not even an inkling, but when he suggested I might want to let him go, well that almost made me pass out right there on the spot. Mutely, I nod my head, agreeing that I will listen. I will not interrupt, I will hear him out, I will behave as a Beta should, with grounded reason and logic. I will myself not to vomit on our brand new carpet, and force my feet to take me to the table that is currently holding a vast array of food that my stomach recoils at the sight of. Changing course to avoid the food, I sit down on the sofa in front of the fireplace and curl my legs up underneath me, making myself as small as I can while still maintaining eye contact. Maybe, if I am small, the impact won’t be so big… I know, some logic that is right? But right now all I can think is that he is going to break my heart. Rip it from my chest, stomp on it and throw it

Daisy POV - I’m going to ask Joe tonight, I have it all planned. I spoke with Gail a little while ago, asking her to prepare a tray for Joe and I, so we can eat in our room. Her reaction was stranger than I had expected, the grin on her face when I put in my request spoke of something, though what I have no clue. Joe has been out all morning with the pack, training group after group, and I have spent the morning putting the finishing touches on our new suite in the new pack house. Not many people are sleeping there yet as the last of the paint is being applied and the electrics are being installed, so that should give us some added privacy, though every room is specially sound proofed, nobody needs to be able to hear their next door neighbour doing the nasty night after night….ya know… So I have had out bed built, as well as our other furniture, I have hung the drapes, installed the lamps, filled the bookcase, plumped the cushions, arranged photos of our loved ones, Joe had brought
