Daisy POV - After getting over the shock of finding that both of us had found our mates within hours of one another, Dave and I slipped into a new routine, one that allowed us both plenty of time with our mates as well as giving us time together to go over pack business. Joe fit right in. Once I had spoken to Dave about Joe wanting to try out for the Delta position, which Dave thought was a great idea, and he really seemed to appreciate that Joe actually wanted to try out rather than just be given the role, Dave sat with Joe and went over what would be expected of him should he pass the training. Joe already knew how to answer every question Dave could think of, having been Delta at Forest Haven, so Dave had then called Jack and asked him to send Brian and Mark over to put Joe through the paces. Dave insisted that this was more of a formality as he was confident Joe would be fine. Brian and Joe were due to arrive tomorrow and their ‘training’ would culminate in a sparring match that
Daisy POV - Lots going on today, it is a big day for us, Joe has his Delta test this morning and I am heading over to Rival River pack to take Maddie to meet with Cassie, I know Joe is nervous, I can sense it through our strengthening bond, we may not be marked yet, but the things we have shared with one another has cemented our bond in a way I never expected. I can feel his emotions as clearly as Dave’s and I can sense his presence before I can see him. I hadn’t expected to feel this way until we were marked but I have a feeling this is not even the tip of the iceberg of feelings I will experience. Joe and I have decided that we will mark each other once we know our roles within the pack more clearly. He knows I am still trying to figure out this whole Beta business, I know I could ask Dave, he was Beta ot Rival River after all, but with him learning to be an Alpha, I don’t want to make him think about both roles, he needs to focus on his new position and I need to focus on mine. I
Dave’s POV - I am hopeful, after spending time getting to know my pack, that though they may be hesitant, they will accept Maddie as a part of this pack even if they are not happy about her being Luna, and once she is getting out and about, helping with the little things and showing them her repentance they will come to love her as I do. Daisy has been 100% supportive since day 1, the moment she found out about Maddie’s history, but I can sense some doubts coming from her. I try to ignore them, but with the twin connection, it is impossible for me to not see beyond the forced smiles and fake cheerfulness. But I do know that Daisy is trying to get past it, she is putting on a convincing charade for the benefit of everyone else, only I know of her doubts. Joe may know as well, but he is not a part of this pack, I can’t sense anything from him yet. All I know is, I trust and believe Maddie and once she has the chance to prove herself I know everyone else will see what I see.For now, Br
Daisy - Maddie and I didn’t speak during the drive to Rival River Pack, I could tell she was deep in thought and I didn’t particularly want to talk to her either, I was still holding back, she could well be my future sister but I couldn’t help thinking she needed Cassie’s forgiveness before I could let her in. I knew some of the things that she had done to Cassie, and if Cassie could forgive her then I would too, but I have to admit, knowing Cassie, she will forgive Maddie just to keep the peace. Cassie sees the good in everyone. Even if Cassie does forgive Maddie, I still don’t think I will be able to fully accept her as Dave’s mate, too many things just don’t add up for me. Dave told me they had decided to wait to complete their bond, he told me they had talked about it and I completely understood Dave’s point of view, I mean, I was using the same excuse to hold off Joe, but in my case Joe had been the one to suggest it, from what Dave told me Maddie didn’t give a reason, she just
Cassie - Sitting across from Maddie I finally feel like I have come into myself. I see myself, as I am now, halfway through my pregnancy, my adoring mate pacing the office next door as if I can’t sense his worry through the bond, and I realise, Maddie has no power over me anymore. Yes she may have been cruel, and I may need her to acknowledge that and perhaps even explain herself, but I feel no fear as I used to, I feel no sense of inferiority, I feel calm, collected, ready to hear her out and forgive her. We will never be friends, I will never fully trust her, but I know that I will be able to spend time in the same room as her, be able to put the past behind me and accept her as a part of my life even if I never want to be alone with her. I already know that I will forgive her for the sake of my friends. Jack has told me that part of the reason Dave is hesitating to mark her is because of our shared history and I refuse to be the one getting in the way of somebody’s happiness. I le
Daisy POV - The drive back to Twin lakes is as silent as the drive to Roval River had been. I was going over everything that happened in Cassie’s office. I knew Cassie was going to forgive her, I knew she would give her blessing on their mating, I just knew it, I knew Cassie. But I wondered how much of what Maddie said had been true, I knew Cassie had believed every word, I had seen it in her eyes, but I was proud of her for her comments at the end, saying they would never be family. I think even Maddie believed most of what she had said. I didn’t know why, but I just couldn’t fully trust her, even now. How could someone treat another being the way she had all because she was told to? Maybe I am wrong, I have never been in either of their shoes, but I just can’t see myself ever behaving the way Maddie did, and I certainly couldn’t see myself being that way to only one person. I would like to think that seeing Cassie now, hearing from her own lips what it had been like, that Maddie wo
Welcome back my dear, dear, readers and thank you so much for sticking with me, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this story goes, with Dave and Daisy get along in a new pack, Cassie and Jack fully Mated and the others finding their way, all while trying to capture that piece of work that has caused so much trouble already. New readers please note this is a follow on book and many parts will not make sense unless you have read my first book: Betrayed by the Beta. Happy reading!!! Some things you should remember from last time….. In this particular world of supernatural beings there are a few rules. The Mind-link or verbal link to your wolf, is brand new, only a few people have it, though all wolves coming of age will have the connection with their wolves as a gift from the goddess. Mind-Linking between pack members is also very very new, only a few people currently have the ability, but as packs change, so will the abilities. You get your wolf at the age of 15. You can
Daisy - My darling brother was never one to covet what others had, but because he didn’t want to burden his best friend with 2 packs to run, not when he had only just found his mate after almost 8 years of longing for her. So, with him taking on the role of Alpha to a pack under such turmoil, I am now the unofficial Beta of Twin Lakes as, without Dave as Alpha and me as Beta the pack would be completely leaderless. Ace very quickly went underground, he like, literally vanished, he is in hiding, the bloody coward ran as soon as he felt the shift in power, according to some of the pack members. He escaped with Maddie who was the Delta's daughter and her father. From what we have learned, it seems her father began orchestrating her rise through the ranks a long time ago, he poisoned the Luna to be barren, he encouraged Maddie to be with Ace, as he would have been Alpha since the current Alpha was and would always be childless, and he helped to kill the Luna to weaken Alpha Sven and G
