I really hated leaving my mate. She was vulnerable right now and I wanted to stay and comfort her some more. I know that she is going to sleep for a while, she unloaded a lot of emotional baggage that she has kept locked away for a long time. That kind of emotional release tends to be exhausting both physically and mentally. I made sure that she was secure in the bed before I headed out assess the damage of tonight.
Theo let me know that he is outside the manor house by the back door. I take the back stairs down, retracing my steps from this morning. Thinking about this morning makes me realize just how much my life has also changed in such a short period of time. Heading towards the woods this morning I was fearful of becoming a feral wolf, almost sure that the Moon Goddess had forgotten to create a mate for me. Now here I am with my mate upstairs, ready to wage war on those that have hu

Daphne’s Point of ViewThe first thing I noticed when I woke up was a strange arm around me. My breath froze in my lungs, I refused to move until I could piece together what was going on. Then yesterday came flooding back to me Everything all at once, being sold, learning that Caleb thinks I am his mate, going to the ball, and then breaking down in front of Caleb. Remembering the last part of the night makes my face flame in embarrassment.Turning my head slightly I can see that it is Caleb’s arm around me, and he is still asleep. Taking advantage of the moment, I watch the steady rise and fall of his chest. His face is so relaxed he almost appears boyish. Caleb was truly a gentleman; he had tucked me into the bed under the covers and he slept on top of the covers. I appreciate his thoughtfulness.A few stray hairs have fallen over his forehead, and I have the strange want to bru

Caleb’s Point of ViewHearing Daphne still question whether we were mates made me want to prove it to her in all the wrong ways. I never intended for things to go so far, but I was lost the moment that she pressed herself up against me. I tried to be gentle, kissing her softly, trying not to rush the moment. I could smell her excitement. I felt her breath quicken, and I could feel her nipples harden into pebbles against my chest. I gave her an opportunity to stop when I flipped her on top of me. To my surprise my actions made her bolder and she ground her sweet delicate folds against me. My wolf howled in pleasure at her moans, pleased with her excitement, and wetness. Daphne had only been wearing panties, and a tee-shirt so I could feel how wet her flower was through my basketball shorts. Seeing the ache on her face, knowing that she needed to find release I did the only thing I could think of that would tip her over the edge without

Daphne’s Point of ViewAs I was getting out of the shower, I could hear Hannah’s bubbly voice calling my name. I poked my head out of the bathroom and let her know that I was only going to be a moment. I hurried and dried off and threw my clothes on before tying my hair up in a ponytail. Today I was finally leaving, and surprisingly I had mixed emotions about it. I was happy to be leaving here, that I was no longer a slave. On the other hand, this place is all I have ever known. I am a little anxious about going to a place that is completely brand new. I truly wonder what my future holds.“Are you ready to see your new home?” Hannah is already bouncing around the room, a wide smile capturing her face. Her energy is contagious, and I find myself getting excited about it as well. “I can not wait for you to see the house; I think you are going to love it. Oh, and I can show you around our

Daphne’s Point of ViewWe did not have to walk too far before we came upon a group of vehicles. I have seen some of the vehicles in my town but have never ridden in one. Eve3ryone is piling into trucks, and cars and I look up at Caleb with questions.“We tend to run everywhere we usually need to go, but for longer trips yes we use our cars.” He is almost chuckling as he explains. “Come on my jeep is right over here.” Caleb brings me to a larger SUV style vehicle. It is an off-white color with larger tires that look like they are for off road hauling. The truck is more spacious than I expected it to be and Caleb loads up our bags. I am nervous and excited to be going in a car for my first time. Theo and Hannah throw their stuff in the back as well.Caleb goes around to the passenger side and opens the front door. “Daphne, I want you to ride up front with me

Caleb’s Point of ViewI could not help looking over at Daphne the entire ride. It is still amazing to me how much of the world she has not really seen or interacted with. Watching her gazing out the window it is almost like she is in another world. I guess for her she is in another world. There are so many things that I want to take her to do and experience that I have started a mental list.Watching her looking at all the tress I know that I want to take her to the coast. The drive through the river gorge is breathtaking. When we are passing through La Grande I add taking her to a movie. I bet that she has never seen a big screen or seen a 3-D movie. As we get closer to home, I get a little nervous.Although things seem to be progressing with Daphne on a physical level, I still do not think that she has accepted fully that she is my mate. I do not know if she will like the house, or e

Daphne’s Point of ViewIt has been a couple of weeks since I moved in with Caleb. I am still getting used to my new life, and I am learning new things quickly. My first few days here were a blur of action. Caleb insisted on buying me a whole new wardrobe. For the first time in my life I own jeans. I was astounded at the money Caleb was throwing around, but he insisted that it was for a good cause, because I can not run around naked. Caleb was a great shopping partner until it came time for undergarments. At that point he called in Hannah as a reinforcement.Hannah was a ton of fun shopping with. She filled the cart with all kinds of lacy panties, with bras to match. We giggled as we held them up to each other in front of the dressing room mirror. Hannah insisted I get a few thongs, I thought that they would be uncomfortable, but surprisingly they are not. She eventually talked me into buying a few lingerie thi

Caleb’s Point of ViewWork has consumed me lately. We are expecting a harsh winter, so I have been in trade negotiations with neighboring packs, trying to ensure that everyone is supplied. I have also been fielding a lot of questions about my mate. Although Daphne and I have marked each other, we have not set a date for the ceremony. This is making people question whether we are true mates. Daphne should have stepped up as my Luna, but she is still learning about herself and our pack. I know that she is not ready. I am hoping to shield her from the extra attention for a little while longer. Hopefully with time she will become more comfortable with her new position in life.This waiting game has taken its toll on me though. I hear the rumors that we have trouble in paradise, that she is not my real mate, that a spell was cast over me to make me believe that she is my mate. They are a bunch of crap, but rumors s

Daphne’s Point of ViewWaking up the next morning I find myself tangled in Caleb’s arms. The feeling is nice, but I have started to put up a wall between us. My emotions are a mess. After last night I just need some space. I ease out of Caleb’s hold and edge myself off the bed. I do not want to wake Caleb; I need to get out and run. I need to clear my head. No lessons, no training, no mate business just me, my wolf, and the woods. Successfully making it off the bed, I hurry to the closet and find my old sweats and tee shirt. I throw them on and grab my tennis shoes and head to the door. I ease it open and look back at Caleb pleased that I am making it out without waking him up.I head out the front door and sit on the steps to put my shoes on. It is early in the morning and the sun has not begun to rise yet, but the sky is lightening up in color making everything visible. There is a crisp feeling t

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
