2024-06-28 21:42:52Author POV -
Daisy woke up to the sound of giggles and a smile stretched across her face before she was even fully awake. Sitting up Daisy was able to see a smattering of blonde hair peeking over the sofa that was a part of the room Carly had given her yesterday. After it had become clear to them both that none of the ranked members of the Forest Haven pack were going to be able to meet with her, Carly, Jamie and Daisy had spent the afternoon exploring while Daisy explained the situation back home to Carly. Carly may not have been a wolf, but her understanding of pack laws and traditions gave Daisy some insight into what needed to be done within Twin Lakes to help them heal and grow after the destruction Ace had wrought upon them all. Spending time with Jamie had been no hardship either, his cheeky smile and inquisitive nature had had Daisy in love

Daisy POV -Stepping out into the early morning light, I suck in a deep breathe, feeling the freshness of the day fill my lungs as a shudder of energy passes through my muscles. It is so beautiful here, so peaceful, the energy that flows over the land resonates with me. But lovely as it is here, and as much as I feel I belong, in those brief moments I am myself, I can’t help but feel eager to return home, my brother needs me, and so does our pack. It is weird, there is something here, I can feel it, like it wants me to be here, and it makes me want to be here, but in the moments when I feel completely in control I can’t help but wonder what it could be that is making me have these mixed emotions. It is almost as though Carly has spelled me. Cast some kind of spell on me or slipped me a potion to make me want to stay, but, lovely as she is, I can’t imagine thatshe would

Daisy -“So now what?” I asked excitedly, wondering what the plan was now that Ace was in our custody.“I'm holding him here until we get to question everyone, the rest were taken to Rival River to be held as the prison there is larger, then we will try him and punish him,” he stated simply.“At least he isn't a threat anymore, we can all sleep easier knowing he is locked up, who have you got guarding him?” with us being so new to the pack we were still trying to determine who we could trust and who sympathises with Ace.“I've got a rota going, Jack sent over some of his guards and I have placed people I'm not sure about, from our pack, inside the prison, with him, then people I do trust are s

Daisy -I hear murmured voices, deep voices, male voices, and what sounds like a door closing follows and the room goes silent, moments later the door swings open fully and a ginormous hulk of a man stands before me. He is at least 6 foot 7, maybe 8, and is built like a brick sh.., well a really large person. His face is hard, lined in a way that depicts anger and frustration, he looks terrifying, and I can sense by his aura that he is the Alpha I have been waiting to meet. I lower my head in recognition hoping he isn’t really as angry as he looks.“Ah, Beta Daisy, yes, come in, come in,” he says in a jovial tone, and peeking up I thankfully note that the lines marring his face have retreated.“Thank you, Alpha,” I reply, lifting my head and me

Daisy -“You will join us for dinner tonight?” Alpha Nick asked as I crossed the threshold of his office back into the hall I had entered through.“Of course, I would love that,” I replied honestly while Lucy continued to whine in my head, she seemed to perk up a little at our words though.“Wonderful, I will let Carly know we usually sit down to eat at around 8 pm, we will send Jamie down to find and collect you around 7.30 if that works for you? We plan to eat in our private quarters tonight, so Jamie can show you the way, we try to eat as a family once a week at least, it gives us a chance to reconnect and discuss anything in a more casual setting away from the hubbub of the eating hall.” As Alpha Nick explains their reasoning for some private time, I realise that this is another little tidbit of information that m

Author POV -With thoughts of who her mate might be and what it would mean for her that he lives so far from her home, she decided to go ahead and finish rewriting her notes, and having finally, successfully shoved Lucy deep into the recesses of her mind she focused on the task at hand. When she finally sat back, having finished, she glanced at the clock at the exact moment a knock came at her door, she had finished just in time it seemed. Jamie came bursting through the door before she could even utter a sound to permit entrance and bounced his way to her where she sat at the lovely desk the room provided her with. A grin spread across her face at the sight of him, knowing full well that Carly would have chastised him for ‘barging’ in the way he had.“Monster!” she greeted Jamie playfully as if his name were Monster.

Daisy -My heart and my head screamed, the problem was that they were screaming two very different things. My head was screaming at me to run, to run as quickly as I could as far as I could, but my heart… and my wolf… were screaming at me to move further into the room, to round the corner that obstructed my view, to get a look at the man destined to be my soul mate. I am so torn, I don’t know what to do. I do know that I need to do something, I need to make my decision, but how can I? How can I decide whether to step forward or backward? How do I choose between my brother and my mate? On the one hand, I have wanted a mate for as long as I remember, on the other hand, how can I trust that the Moon Goddess truly gave me the perfect man? How can I risk finding him and having to move here? I love it here, I do, but I need to be with Dave right now, he needs me, and I need to know that I&helli
Last Updated : 2024-07-05Deceived by the Delta Chapter 38 - Razor’s edge
Author POV -Daisy was feeling very torn, she knew, deep down, that Carly wanted to talk about what had just happened, and she really really didn’t want to talk about it, but, then again, at the same time, she really needed someone to talk to, someone impartial. Lucy would be of no help at all in this situation, Daisy already knew exactly where Lucy stood, Dave was too far away and too invested in the mate bond to understand Daisy’s perspective, not to mention he was male, and he had enough on his plate right now without adding Daisy to the list of things he needed to worry about. But Carly, well Carly could be impartial, she would have the option of looking at this from an outsiders point of view. Sure, she had already found her mate, she was all to aware of the bond and all that it represented, but maybe, as a witch she might have some insight that Daisy would find helpful. The fact that Carly
Last Updated : 2024-07-06Deceived by the Delta Chapter 39 - Twin-Bond.
Author POV -Back at Twin Lakes pack, Dave was making his way down to the prison cells to talk to some of the rogues that had been captured when he felt his sister’s distress. Twins, like Mates, have a special bond that links them together, the closer the twins are emotionally, the stronger the bond between them, they are able to sense when the other is suffering physically and sometimes even emotionally. Since Dave and Daisy were about as close as siblings could be, their bond was still tethering them to one another, even across the great distance that currently separated them. Since the Moon Goddess had granted them the gift of mind link, they had worked hard to build a wall between them to soften the emotional connection they shared. This was not done because they wanted to hide things from one another, that was not something either of them had ever considered, it was because every little emotion ha

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
Deceived by the Delta Chapter 75 - Plans
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
Deceived by the Delta Chapter 73 - Secret revealed.
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
