I was in the middle of wiping down my bathroom sink when my door burst open. My heart instantly sank as I noticed it was Beta Noah, and the man I had seen downstairs at my door. Keeping my eyes to the floor so that I would not offend anyone, I walked out of the bathroom and waited for order.
“You are to come down to the Alpha’s study immediately. I will escort you there.” Beta Noah barked out. I started shivering, thinking that I must have done something to offend the visiting Alpha since his Beta was here with Noah as well. Walking out of my room I tried to replay every movement I have made since the Alpha arrived. Other than watching him greet the Mission pack I do not ever recall even seeing him. My palms are sweating, and my stomach is in knots trying to figure out how I could have offended the Alpha.
As we make it to the first floor it dawn

Caleb’s Point of ViewI could smell her before I ever even seen her face. Instantly my wolf was howling, mine. My heart stopped in my chest when she walked through the door. She is breathtaking. Even in sweatpants and an old tee-shirt she is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. She is long legged, with long brown hair cascading in soft waves down her back. She looks thin, and in the back of my mind I wonder when the last time she ate was.Her scent is intoxicating, better than the best wines ever produced. It reminds me of sunshine, gladiolas, pine trees, and rosemary. She smells like the forest in springtime, pure, natural and mine. My wolf is begging to come out. He is practically demanding it. He wants to take her in our arms, hold her and never let go.As if she can read my mind she looks into my eyes. My wolf is howling so loud its difficult to concentrate. Her eyes are a

Daphne’s Point of ViewEverything is happening so fast its almost as if the world tipped over on its axis and dumped me into an alternate reality. One moment I am in my father’s study, pledging my loyalty to a new pack, and the next I am being whisked through the halls of the manor house by Alpha Caleb. My mind is racing trying to filter and comprehend all the changes going on. It is more difficult because Alpha Caleb is holding my hand.The moment he pulled me up it was like an inferno when he touched me. Warmth radiated between our hands, racing up my arm and spilling through my chest. My nipples hardened instantly, and it felt like they were straining against my shirt. My body has never reacted this way and it is a little frightening.His scent keeps wafting behind him and tickling my nose. I recognize it instantly as the smell from the back stairs earlier except now it is so
The Alpha's Slave Mate Chapter Seventeen
Caleb’s Point of ViewI have never felt so hopeless as I did when my mate started crying. These were not tears like you see on television. This was full out sobbing from the heart. It twisted my stomach up knowing that she has endured so much mental and emotional pain in her lifetime. It also makes me angry that people have treated like this so much that she believes that she does not deserve to be love. I made a vow right there and then that I would spend the rest of my days ensuring that she knows that she is loved and adored.When she pulled back from me, I wanted to show her that her life would be different moving forward. I have waited so long for my mate that I was ready to beg her to stay with me. To give us a chance. I am hoping with time and patience that she will come to love me and need me as much as I need her. I know that my pack will accept her with open arms. They have been waiting for me to fin

Daphne’s Point of ViewI could hear Caleb talking to some people in the bedroom. My mind is racing trying to comprehend everything that was happening so quickly. When I woke up this morning, I was a slave, now I am no longer a slave. Caleb says that I am his mate, but I still cannot understand how the Moon Goddess would let that happen. I will admit that standing in his arms, against his chest felt like home in a way. My mind was at peace, and for once I was completely relaxed. The closest I have been to that feeling was shifting and running through the forest. I have never been that relaxed or comforted in human form. After not being hugged for so long it felt great to just be held.My thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on the bathroom door. “Hey whenever you are ready to come out, we have some dresses available for you to look at.” The woman’s voice is soft, but bubbly and I inst
The Alpha's Slave Mate Chapter Nineteen
Caleb’s Point of ViewIt felt like torture knowing waiting to see my mate. Even my wolf was pouting because we had to leave her side. I know that Hannah will take care of her though. Hannah was once a slave. Theo and I met her when she was younger. Theo would not leave her side until I had secured her purchase. Since that day Hannah has been like a little sister to both Theo and I. We were there with her when she first shifted, took her on her first run. We ensured that she excelled in school and that she did not want for anything. Hannah lived at our manor house.“So, when will the mating ceremony be?” I forgot that Theo was in the room.“I am not sure. She still has not accepted that I am her mate. I know that Hannah adjusted well, but I think it is going to take Daphne a bit of time. Daphne was abused by her own parents; she has no value of her own self-worth. I pr

Daphne’s Point of ViewCaleb got me a gift. No one besides Luna Alma has ever gotten me a gift before. My sister use to sneak me books, food, and occasionally some little treat but I never considered those gifts. I have lived through countless birthdays, and holidays with no one even acknowledging me unless it was to bark orders. My hands are shaking as I am trying to take the bow off the velvet box. The box is very soft in my hands. I am stunned when I finally open the box.Inside the soft velvet box is the most charming necklace I have ever seen. There are tiny diamonds lining the rose gold chain which is very fine. All of them lead down to a pristine teardrop shaped diamond pendant in the center. Oh Moon Goddess surely this is not meant for me. I am clumsy, I know I will break it. When I tell Caleb that I could not possibly accept this he acts heart broken. I try explaining to him that I am worried about br
The Alpha's Slave Mate Chapter Twenty-One
Caleb’s Point of ViewI can not let her see how angry I am right now. How much I want to tear her old pack apart. When Daphne stopped and could not take a step towards the front door, rage hot blinding rage exploded within me. The only thing stopping me from turning this ball into a massacre is the fact that I know that my mate needs to have faith, and trust in me. I do not know how Daphne will react if she sees the monster I can truly become. Instead of pulling her, or trying to coax her towards the front door, I simply swoop her up in my arms.Cradling her in my arms, I almost turn around and took her back upstairs. Simply touching her makes my pants fit tighter. She is light, too light as if she has not been fed properly. My heartbeat is racing, it is taking all my restraint not to kiss her. I carry her right through the front door. It is important to me that she knows that when times get hard, I will not abandon her. I will help her through everything in this life.
The Alpha's Slave Mate Chapter Twenty- Two
Daphne’s Point of ViewCaleb pulls me into his side as we walk into the ball. He is so warm and feeling his hand around my waist is sparking a fire within me. I do not get to dwell on the feeling too long because I am too distracted by everything, I see walking in. There are people everywhere, some I recognize but most I have no idea who they are. Women are parading everywhere in dresses made of every color in the rainbow. Hair pins, jewelry, and beads catch the multitude of lights around the room casting their own glow across the floor. The men are just as colorful as well in suits, looking dapper. People are talking in small crowds, some are dancing, some are eating but everyone seems happy. Thankfully, I do not see my father or mother, and that puts me at ease a little.The decorations around the meeting hall are beautiful. Soft autumn touches celebrating the harvest. The music is beautiful, consisting of low melodies met for lovers. I simply can not stop looking arou

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. “
The Alpha's Slave Mate Book 2 Chapter 39
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
The Alpha's Slave Mate Book 2 Chapter 34
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
