Caleb’s Point of View
I was slightly nervous about the women going off to the spa for the day. Normally I do not worry about our people being in the human town, but it is not often that there are so many high-ranking women together. The possibilities for being attacked were enormous. I knew that Daphne and the other girls had put a lot of thought and preparation into today, so I kept my mouth shut. Daphne thinks that she only has a few soldiers with her, but I sent a few other warriors into the town earlier in the morning. I figured there was no harm in having a plan B.
“You ready to do this?” I was startled from my thoughts by Theo coming to check on me.
“Yep, I have the new treaties ready to be signed. Gather everyone up and let’s meet in the den area.” I inform him. The den is bigger than my office, but still has everything that we could need. It did not take long to get everyone gathered and seated at the
Caleb’s Point of ViewI knew that the Moon Goddess had been smiling on me, because just as we took a break, I received word from our border patrol that the women were headed back to the pack house. Daphne is always able to settle the anger within in. She calms the beast when he roars out of control.I waited rather impatiently by the front door until the vehicle she is in pulls up. I watch as her and the other women get out chattering excitedly about the pampering that they had just received. Just seeing my beautiful mate step from the car has a calming effect on me. As soon as she entered the door I reach out and grab her hand pulling her to me in a big hug.She giggles a little as I wrap her even tighter into my body. “I missed you too baby.” She says into my chest.“I just needed to feel you next to me for a few moments.” I say softly into her hair.“Is the meeting not going well?” She a
Daphne’s Point of ViewAfter Caleb got back to his meeting, I confirmed the dinner preparations with the catering company. They have absolutely gone above and beyond in their work, and I will ensure that they are tipped graciously for all that they have done. I then retreated to my bedroom for a few moments of alone time. I was emotionally exhausted from my talk with Melissa, but I like the fact that I know more about my birth now.I paced for a few minuets trying to sort my feelings out in my head and I decided to try and call Dr. Hollis. Unfortunately, I was told that she was with another patient. I know that I could use my status as Luna to interrupt the session, but I did not feel like this was the right thing to do. Besides although I wanted to confide my feelings in someone else, this was not an emergency situation.I was just sitting down with a magazine when there was a knock at my door. I assumed it was one of the Lunas or even po
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
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
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 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 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 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
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
