Dave POV -

I can't get the words to stop, they keep playing in my mind, over and over, on a loop and it is driving me crazy, I haven't slept a wink, has my mate really been involved in all of this? Was she manipulated into being with Ace? I mean, Ace has done so much, to this pack, to Cassie, could he really have got to her too? Was she here the whole time? In the pack right next door to mine?

If shutting off my brain was something I could do, I would have, it's driving me nuts. Is she another victim of his? Was she treated the same way Cassie was? I can't stand the not knowing.

Standing in the shower hoping it will wash away the grogginess of the sleepless night it suddenly hits me. She might be in Rival River pack, she may have been captured with the others, I mean, I didn't see them did I. I race through washing the soap from my body and rush back into my bedroom to throw on some clothes. Glancing at the clock on my bedside table I see it is barely 5 am. FUCK, I can't go tearing

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 51 - What?!

    Cassie POV - Goddess! I don’t know what to do. Dave has just left with Jack, excited and eager to meet his mate, and from what he tells us, she is indeed here, and if I understood correctly, which I'm pretty sure I did, well then, I know exactly who his mate is. One of my main tormentors…. Maddie. Thinking back, she did always act entitled, like she knew her and Ace were destined, she was so sure of herself and her position in this life. Like she knew some secret nobody else did. Was this the secret, the vision given to her father of her becoming Luna of a pack thanks to a Beta? But I can't believe she didn't know exactly what she was doing every single time she tormented me. I mean, this chick gave me freaking nightmares, she starved me, beat me, encouraged others to do the same, she body shamed me, by the time escaped Twin Lakes pack, she as much the demon I was running from as Ace was. But now what do I do? I can't very well let Dave run off into the sunset with her without knowi

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 52 - Easy Decisions

    Daisy POV - We walked for a while, not talking, just basking in the glow of our bond. The silence and the closeness helped, helped me organise my thoughts and feelings, helped me to realise more clearly that I needed to be honest with him. Helped me understand that so long as we were honest with each other we would be able to work this out.After walking for who knows how long, he stopped us and gestured for me to have a seat on the fallen tree we had come across. Sitting down carefully my nerves flooded back. I didn't speak, I could sense he wanted to talk first and I decided to hear him out before jumping to any more conclusions.“So, um, you're Daisy right? Beta for Twin Lakes Pack, heard they've had it tough lately,” I nod, not wanting to interrupt him and not really sure what I want to say, “I'm Joe, I'm a Delta here, but before you think that's anything special, you should know we have 3 Delta's here, I'll explain that later, I just, well, um, I want you to know, I want you, I

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 53 - Hard decisions.

    Dave POV - She is beautiful, incredible. I have never seen anyone who holds themselves with such perfect confidence. Jack and the guard fade away to nothingness as she moves towards me, the dank cell seemingly glowing as she looks into my eyes.I vaguely hear Jack talking to the guard but the words are nonsense, then he claps me on the shoulder and I glance behind me, tearing my eyes away from the vision of my mate, to see him leaving and the guard stepping forward holding out a key to me. I take the key and he leaves behind Jack. The prison falls silent as I turn to face her once more, desperate to hold her and feel the sparks I have heard about, I fumble with the key before finally getting it to fit into the lock. The click of the tumblers echo down the hall as the door swings inwards, and I follow, stepping into the space occupied by my mate. Breathing deeply I inhale her scent and watch her do the same, her eyes close slightly before she closes the gap and takes my hands in hers.

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 54 - Homeward bound

    Author POV - Dave had hoped, when Maddie had told him what she had done, that she would show remorse, that she would try to make amends for what she had done, and her words to him were as a balm to a wound. That she wanted to speak with Cassie, that she was hopeful of forgiveness, that she was willing to try to make this work, was all he could have hoped for. Dave felt a moment of panic when she confessed, he had wanted his mate for so long, but he knew he could never be with someone who was at odds with his best friend’s mate. Knowing how Cassie had been treated in Twin Lakes, while Ace had been in control, Dave didn’t know how she would react to having Maddie as a part of their group. But he felt pride that she wanted to try. The fact that Maddie was willing to ask for forgiveness was enough for him to know, she was his, and he was hers. After that realisation hit he almost fell to his knees before her. In fact, after a slight hesitation, he did just that, he kneeled before his mat

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 55 - Twin Lakes

    Author POV - With all of the excitement of Dave finding his mate, he and Jack did not get a chance to discuss the prisoners. But Jack was well aware of the fact that Ace was sitting in a cell within Twin Lakes pack. With what he knew now of Maddie and her role in the torture of his mate, he was more eager than ever to get the situation handled and finalised before the birth of his pups. He just wasn’t sure how to go about it. He knew Dave was going to be distracted as he spent time with Maddie, which he was also worried about. He needed to talk to Dave and tell him what he had learned from Cassie before the bond was too strong, he didn’t want Dave to have to reject his mate, but he also wanted him to have that option, and the longer they had to form the bond, the harder the rejection would be. Dave would survive a rejection, he wasn’t weak like Cassie had been when she had rejected Ace, but that didn’t save him from a pain that Jack just didn’t want anyone he knew to suffer.After sp

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 56 - The talk

    Dave POV - Jack coming here, tonight of all nights, had to mean whatever he had to say was important. I knew enough about Jack to know he would never ever interrupt me with my mate for anything less. So with a heavy heart, I walked away from my mate and down to my office. I think I have a pretty good idea about why he is here, I know he and Cassie, that I knew he would have told who my mate was, and she would have told him about their shared past, I knew that his coming here was him wanting to warn me, I know what he will tell me, thankfully Maddie already told me everything, she didn’t go into details about what she had done, but I knew enough to understand that me being mated to her would cause Cassie some concerns. So for now, my plan was to be honest with Jack and hope that he understands. I don’t know what I will do if Cassie refuses to hear Maddie out, I don’t know how I would feel if my mate and my best friends mate were at odds, the very idea of it turns my stomach. We had ta

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 57 - Plans.

    Jack POV - “Yeah, I meant to talk to you about that earlier today but with everything that happened…” Dave looks sheepish for a moment, then blissful as his thoughts return to his mate.Waving my hand at him to dismiss his discomfort I push forward.“So, what’s happening? What you got going on here?” I ask.“Well, it was Daisy’s idea, but I do admit, I love it, we are building a new pack house, but we are relocating to nearer the lake, nicer views, further from the main access point, sheltered by the mountains in the winter…”“Brilliant,| I say honestly, if I wasn’t happy with our pack house I would do the same, being close to each other can only strengthen our packs bonds. “Do you need anything? Materials, hands?”“Well actually, I was thinking, could you send the rest of the rogues over? They are all victims and I think having them all together will be good for them. The routines here are still new so the adjustment will be for everyone not just the ‘newbies’ and the extra hands wi

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 58 - 4 days later.

    Author POV - Daisy and Joe had taken their time on their journey back from Forest Haven. They had spent their days driving and stopping at particularly eye-catching areas, choosing to ramble across the landscape and exploring the wilds. Joe seemed to struggle with being trapped in Daisy’s car, which was a little small for him, his legs bent upwards when he was sat in the passenger seat. And the fact that he was a passenger was not something he was comfortable with, he felt that as the male, it was his job to drive/escort his mate, but there was no hope of him being able to sit behind the wheel in her car, the front seat would not go back enough for him to fold his legs in and be able to manage the pedals. So they had taken plenty of breaks allowing him to stretch. Daisy had not really spoken to her brother, they had sent each other a few text messages but the one call they had was brief. Daisy was a bit worried about him, it wasn’t like Dave to cut a call with her short after not see

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 80 - Endings

    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

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 77 - Facing the truth.

    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.

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 76 - Overheard.

    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

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 74 - Seeing him.

    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

  • Deceived by the Delta   Chapter 72 - Courage gathering.

    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
