All Chapters of Deceived by the Delta: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Daisy POV - We walked for a while, not talking, just basking in the glow of our bond. The silence and the closeness helped, helped me organise my thoughts and feelings, helped me to realise more clearly that I needed to be honest with him. Helped me understand that so long as we were honest with each other we would be able to work this out.After walking for who knows how long, he stopped us and gestured for me to have a seat on the fallen tree we had come across. Sitting down carefully my nerves flooded back. I didn't speak, I could sense he wanted to talk first and I decided to hear him out before jumping to any more conclusions.“So, um, you're Daisy right? Beta for Twin Lakes Pack, heard they've had it tough lately,” I nod, not wanting to interrupt him and not really sure what I want to say, “I'm Joe, I'm a Delta here, but before you think that's anything special, you should know we have 3 Delta's here, I'll explain that later, I just, well, um, I want you to know, I want you, I

Author POV - Dave had hoped, when Maddie had told him what she had done, that she would show remorse, that she would try to make amends for what she had done, and her words to him were as a balm to a wound. That she wanted to speak with Cassie, that she was hopeful of forgiveness, that she was willing to try to make this work, was all he could have hoped for. Dave felt a moment of panic when she confessed, he had wanted his mate for so long, but he knew he could never be with someone who was at odds with his best friend’s mate. Knowing how Cassie had been treated in Twin Lakes, while Ace had been in control, Dave didn’t know how she would react to having Maddie as a part of their group. But he felt pride that she wanted to try. The fact that Maddie was willing to ask for forgiveness was enough for him to know, she was his, and he was hers. After that realisation hit he almost fell to his knees before her. In fact, after a slight hesitation, he did just that, he kneeled before his mat

Dave POV - Jack coming here, tonight of all nights, had to mean whatever he had to say was important. I knew enough about Jack to know he would never ever interrupt me with my mate for anything less. So with a heavy heart, I walked away from my mate and down to my office. I think I have a pretty good idea about why he is here, I know he and Cassie, that I knew he would have told who my mate was, and she would have told him about their shared past, I knew that his coming here was him wanting to warn me, I know what he will tell me, thankfully Maddie already told me everything, she didn’t go into details about what she had done, but I knew enough to understand that me being mated to her would cause Cassie some concerns. So for now, my plan was to be honest with Jack and hope that he understands. I don’t know what I will do if Cassie refuses to hear Maddie out, I don’t know how I would feel if my mate and my best friends mate were at odds, the very idea of it turns my stomach. We had ta

Author POV - Daisy and Joe had taken their time on their journey back from Forest Haven. They had spent their days driving and stopping at particularly eye-catching areas, choosing to ramble across the landscape and exploring the wilds. Joe seemed to struggle with being trapped in Daisy’s car, which was a little small for him, his legs bent upwards when he was sat in the passenger seat. And the fact that he was a passenger was not something he was comfortable with, he felt that as the male, it was his job to drive/escort his mate, but there was no hope of him being able to sit behind the wheel in her car, the front seat would not go back enough for him to fold his legs in and be able to manage the pedals. So they had taken plenty of breaks allowing him to stretch. Daisy had not really spoken to her brother, they had sent each other a few text messages but the one call they had was brief. Daisy was a bit worried about him, it wasn’t like Dave to cut a call with her short after not see

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
