2024-10-29 19:42:56Daphne’s Point of View
Shortly after we left Caleb’s office, we were informed that more visitors were arriving. I quickly grabbed a bottle of water from the kitchen before once again joining my family on the front steps. While we patiently waited, I was lost in thought over everything that has happened. While I had been worried about saying something that would embarrass Caleb or the pack, I had never considered the possibility of our peculiar wolves being discovered. I had a newfound respect for Theo and Caleb for being able to hide them so effectively for so long.
I was also worried about Hannah. Could Axle really be her mate? If he is does that mean that she would be leaving to live with him? I was not prepared to lose yet another friend. Although I know that we would still see each other on occasion I was not prepared for her to live so far away. I also worried and wondered how that would work with her peculiar abilities as well. Would she eventu

Daphne’s Point of ViewWith the arrival of the catering company there was a flurry of activity. Hannah, Theo, and Scarlett helped to get all the kids upstairs and settled into their rooms so that they could get washed up and changed for dinner. I think that Marcus and Lola were relieved that we agreed to take Isabella and the twins. We all understand that we need to be hush hush regarding the hybrid status of the kids.Hybrids are frowned upon in nearly every community, even more so than rogues. There is a natural distrust between wolves, witches, and vampires. For centuries we fought each other mercilessly. Unfortunately for witches they were often used as pawns for factions fighting each other. The legend says that the reason there are so few witches today, is due to the enslavement they faced back then. As with all things humans and technology progressed, and we all moved forward. With the ever-increasing threat of human exposure and experimen

Caleb’s Point of ViewI left Daphne, Scarlett, and Hannah to prepare for the dinner tonight. The catering company had arrived, and our guests had already been shown to their rooms. No amount of preparation could have prepared me for today. I am worried that this may be an utter disaster, and with everything already bogging Daphne down I worry how this will affect her. I am also worried about putting our peculiar wolves in danger, and now I have new pups that are special that will need to be protected as well. This stress is going to cause me to grow grey hair.I slip away to my office, hoping for a few moments of silence. It is not long before both Theo, and Marcus slip in. I pour us each a drink and we settle into the chairs to catch up a bit.“I meant to ask earlier but got caught up in the moment. Lola seems rather attached to the girl Maria that you found, are you guys planning on adopting her if you can not locate her pack?&rdqu

Caleb’s Point of ViewWords can not describe how proud of Daphne I am. Even with everything that we had going on, she had managed to pull off an elegant but cozy dinner for everyone. The catering company went out of their way to ensure that there was a large variety of food, and drinks available to our guests. Daphne and the girls had managed to turn our formal dining room into a lovely, decorated area for the dinner tonight. I was impressed to learn that she was the one that folded the linen napkins into origami swans. It was beautiful, and classically elegant. Walking into the room I quickly spotted her sipping a glass of wine talking to Scarlett, and Lola. My heart swelled looking at my beautiful mate.Daphne had chosen to wear a simple black cocktail dress tonight, with simple beading on the bodice, and a peek a book slit on the left leg. I swear that there was no woman that could outshine her radiant beauty. “We are lucky men, aren&rsq

Daphne’s Point of ViewI could have strangled Caleb for disappearing with the guys. While I would have been perfectly content to sit and talk with almost everyone at the table, I was not happy that Melissa and Heather were still here. For a few moments we had peace, all of the ladies were getting along, and it was nice.“This is boring we should go into the town and hit up the nightclub.” Heather’s nasally voice reached me.“Oh, a nightclub, that could be fun girls.” Lola was a free spirit, and this does seem like something up her alley.“We do have a rather early day tomorrow ladies, and I do not think that our men would find it a good idea to be out in the club so late. Heather since you are unmated perhaps, we could send a warrior with you and your packs Beta to the club instead?” I was relieved that Scarlett thought of a good solution. I would not be comfortable in a nightclub, especiall

Caleb’s Point of ViewI followed my mate up to our bedroom. It was hard to hold my composure as we made our way up our stairs. As soon as we were in the room, she spun around to face me.“I am sorry. I know that this gathering is important, and I know that it was one of the first that I was involved in as a Luna. I know that I have placed your alliance in jeopardy.” She was pouring out words so quickly it was as if she was running a marathon with them.“Daphne stop” I tried to tell her.“Look I will apologize if you need me to. I really do not want to but I will never do anything to put the pack in danger.” She was rather wound up and talking with her hands.“Love please” I tried to cut in again.“I know that they do not have our fighting forces, but I did not mean to cause a war. It is just she started talking and I seen red.” I could not take her rambling an

Daphne’s Point of ViewI cannot recall the last time I woke up feeling this refreshed. I lay in bed for a few moments enjoying the feel of Caleb’s arm around me as I think back to last night. I expected him to be furious with me. Downstairs in the dining room his demeanor had been frigid, and in truth he had frightened me a little. I was shocked that not only was he not upset with me, but he was proud of my actions. He told me that he was happy that I got to finally stick up for myself. He even said that I looked hot while doing it.Thinking of his words and remembering the hungry look in his eyes spreads a warmth throughout my body that I have not felt in a long time. Almost by habit I squirm a bit closer to Caleb, feeling his warmth on my neck, his hard chest against my back. A moment of clarity makes me wonder if I am doing the right thing. The warmth and memories of Caleb’s hands warming my body make me want to tease him, but my b

Caleb’s Point of ViewThere is nothing more satisfying than starting the day by pleasing your wife. Thankfully, Daphne had hired the catering company to be available all this week, so I knew that our guests were being taken care of for breakfast. After Daphne and I showered and got dressed for the day, I kissed her goodbye, and gave her a good swat on the butt. She has arranged for the women to go to the local spa and to be pampered. I was all smiles as I got the paperwork ready for the first round of meetings with the Alphas. Today was going to be a productive, but good day.“Alpha Caleb, may I have a moment of your time?” I was interrupted by Alpha Jerome asking me from the doorway of my office.“Of course, you may. Can I get you a drink?” I offer him, but he shakes his head no as he wearily takes a seat across from my desk.“Getting old is hell young man.” He begins with a chuckle. “I wan

Daphne’s Point of ViewWe had planned on taking two vehicles to the spa, and I was hoping that I would get lucky, and that Melissa would be in the second vehicle. Unfortunately, fate had other plans and we ended up in the same car. I received a little satisfaction that I also had Scarlett, and Lola with us as well. Alma opted to ride with Hannah and Isabella. Caleb was insistent that we take four warriors with us as well. While normally we do not have to worry when we are in the human town, since most of the women with me are Lunas, he wanted to ensure our safety.It did not take long to get everyone loaded up and on the road. For awhile the car was relatively quiet, then Lola asked the driver to turn on the radio. Instantly there was a pop song blaring through the speakers, and Lola was dancing in her seat singing along to the fast music. Her energy was infectious and soon Scarlett and I found ourselves dancing along too. Melissa sat as still as

Alma’s words had successfully shocked both Scarlett and I into silence for a long moment. Hawk was not just the Alpha’s son but was also the next in line to take over his pack.“How sure is he that this witch is his destined mate?” Scarlett finally gasped out, breaking the tense silence we had been locked in.“He is sure enough that he would lay his own life down for hers.” Alma practically whispers back. I can see that this is sitting heavy on her heart and mind.Seeing her obvious discomfort spurred me into action. “Well then I hope to be celebrating their mating ceremony soon. As I said before Luna Alma you will find that we have no issues with Viola, or your pack. I am actually hoping that this will help strengthen our bonds, and we would welcome her with open arms here.”A smile broke out upon Alma’s face at my words. “Luna Daphne you cannot possibly fathom how much I appreciate your kind wo

Daphne’s Point of View It did not take me long to finish getting ready after Caleb left. I took a few long breaths to calm my inflamed face before I left our room. Caleb has my heart pounding. As the Luna of my pack, and with us still entertaining guests then I cannot be waltzing around like a lovesick puppy, filled with lust. Once I felt the blood leave my face, and my pulse slow I knew it was time to leave the room. Surprisingly I felt rather hungry this morning but thinking about the activities of the previous night it should not have been a surprise that I have worked up an appetite. With the ghost of last night replaying through my mind, and a huge smile on my face I happily left the bedroom and headed downstairs to have breakfast. I barely made it out of the room before my arm was grabbed and I was yanked into the study. “What the hell Scarlett that hurt.” I whisper yell at my sister as she finally relents and releases my arm. “

Caleb’s Point of ViewI know that I must get up from the bed but laying here with Daphne sleeping soundly splayed across my chest I do not want to move. Last night was amazing. I did not expect Daphne to be ready for intimacy on that level yet, but when she bucked her hips up, I was lost in the void of lust. I had missed my mate severely, so it was a huge relief to both myself and my wolf spirit. I felt like our bond was stronger than it was yesterday. I bent my head and softly kissed the top of hers, sending up another thank you to the Moon Goddess for blessing me with her.“Mmmm I do not want to get up yet.” Daphne’s sleepy voice called out.“I know my love, but there is a lot to get done today. On the bright side almost, everyone will be leaving after today so that we can start to untangle some of the mysteries we have around here.” I am not sure if I said this more to reassure her, or if I was trying in va

Caleb’s Point of ViewI lay awake for hours, praying that sleep will eventually come. Daphne is splayed across my chest with her head nestled into my shoulder. I love holding her like this, and normally I would be out like a light. This is the exact kind of contact that I was craving while she mourned the loss of our child. Tonight, though I am racked with worry, and fear.What if Daphne is right? What if somewhere along the lines in our pack, our wolves mated with witches or witch hybrids? What if a witch cursed our pack? I hate not knowing exactly what is going on. Usually in situations where I do not have the facts, I can turn to Theo, and he can discover what exactly is going on. It seems as if Theo is as stumped as the rest of us, and that alone is making everything uneasy for me.Scarlett’s admission is also troubling me. If Alma was able to find a witch does that mean that they are more common than I previously thought? I pers

Daphne’s Point of ViewCaleb got Clint settled into what was supposed to be our nursery. Luckily, there was an attached bathroom as well, so Clint would have total privacy. I was still flabbergasted by everything that was currently transpiring. This week seems to be tossing us mystery after mystery. My brain could not stop trying to fit all the pieces together. Somehow, I had a feeling that a few things were connected. “I feel like I can see the gears turning in your brain already.” Caleb’s voice startled me out of my thoughts. I turned to see that he had come back.“Did Clint need anything? I feel bad because I do not remember asking him if he had already eaten.” I tell him.“I ran down and grabbed him a few sandwiches, fresh fruit, and made sure he had plenty of water to drink as well. He will be fine. This whole story seems crazy.” Caleb pulls me gently into his chest.&ldqu

Caleb’s Point of ViewAlpha Clint’s words stunned me. How could Axle not be his son? The man was softly sobbing in my office chair with his head in his hands. Daphne I could see was shocked as well and still standing by the door. I swiftly went behind my desk and pulled out my Brandy and three tumblers, pouring us each a glass. I then grabbed the tissues and nudged Clint’s arm with them. He gladly accepted my offer and when he was done wiping his face, I handed him the glass of Brandy.“Now that you are a bit calmer Clint, I am going to need a deeper explanation. I have met Axle before, and the man that is here appears to be him.” In truth it had been a little while since I had seen Axle, but overall, his looks have not changed much since then.“I noticed the change shortly after Axle took the reigns as Alpha of our pack. At first, he was my son, dutiful in his leadership, proud of our pack and strong. Then he

Daphne’s Point of ViewWalking out into the back courtyard my breath was taken away. The decorations were amazing. There were five small tables set up with navy tablecloths, and simple mason jar candle lights in the middle surrounded by a small wreath of flowers. Fairy lights were draped elegantly over the pergola, and over a few of the rose bushes. The sound of a violin caught me off guard and I looked quickly towards the back of the garden path to find a few of our teenage wolves tuning orchestra instruments.“I asked Brandon to gather a few members of the orchestra from school to provide some light background music.” Caleb leans close to me and whispers in my ear.The courtyard looks like something out of a movie. I had always admired the beauty it held during the daylight, but tonight it was a shining star. “This looks better than anything I could have imagined.” I whisper still in awe. Caleb put his arm gently

Caleb’s Point of ViewI had hoped that Daphne and I could spend a few minuets alone, just holding each other, but as soon as I walked in the door, she said that she needed to talk. From the look of her furrowed brow, I could tell that she felt that it was important, but I still inwardly sigh because I was hoping after the meeting that I would get a small break. Unfortunately, it seems like I will have no such luck today. I do however pull her into my chest, I just need a moment of feeling her next to me even if the relief is temporary.“Alright my little one what is going on?” I finally ask her. She then proceeds to tell me about the visit that she had with Anita, and Carolyn and the cryptic message left by her nasty mother. “So, the only reason why she came was because Scarlett is supposedly in danger?” The message seems vague at best, and a quick analysis of the situation leads me to believe that it is baloney.&l
The Alpha's Slave Mate Book 2 Chapter 33
Daphne’s Point of ViewWith everything that has happened within the last year I feel like nothing should be able to surprise me anymore. Carolyn telling me that my mother sent a warning was a huge surprise though. I quickly tried to cover my shock because I did not want Carolyn to think that I was viewing her any differently. The young girl already admitted that she had issues with people questioning her gift. I have no doubt in my mind that Carolyn is speaking the truth. For one she never met my mother, and I highly doubt that she would know her name. The second reason is the last set of words my mother said to her about Scarlett being in danger. If I were the one in danger my mother never would have shown herself; however, Scarlett was the diamond in my mother’s eyes. There is nothing that my mother would not do to save her favorite child.“Thank you so much for delivering that message to me Carolyn. I want you to know that I think
