Caleb’s Point of View
Of all of the ways that today could have turned out this was the one scenario that I had never considered. How could she hit me? I never seen my parents raise a hand to each other. I have never been so upset with Daphne. To be honest I am barely containing my anger right now. I had to leave the house before I said or did something that we would both end up regretting.
Currently I am storming off towards the woods. I am hoping that a nice long run with my wolf will help clear my head. I cannot believe that amount of rage that is coursing through me right now. Not only did she strike me, but she thought that I would cheat on her. Daphne has that little trust in me. I know that she had a difficult past, but I have never done anything that would make her jump to that kind of conclusion. I do not even look at other women.
Finally entering the woods, I quickly strip down before shifting. I love allowing my wolf out, but ton
Daphne’s Point of ViewAs usual I woke up prior to Caleb. Unlike every morning though today I do not want to escape my bed. I feel no need to run away if anything I long to scoot closer to Caleb. He did not come back home until late last night. I pretended that I was already asleep when he came in. I know that it was utterly cowardly of me to pretend, but I had no idea what words could start the healing to the emotional wounds that I had inflicted upon him yesterday.Caleb was right when he said that he has never given me a reason not to trust him. He has never hurt me, if anything he has only improved my life in every single way. From the very first day he came into my life he has fought for me. He has told me every day that I am beyond beautiful. He gave me a real home, and a real family. He reunited me with Scarlett, something that I had never thought possible.Even when we found out that I am not necessarily normal he never made me fee
Caleb’s Point of ViewI am not even surprised that I am once again waking up alone. Although my anger has left me the hurt consumes my soul, and I briefly wonder if I even need to get up from the bed today. Laying here is a special kind of torture. I can smell my beautiful mate, and a part of me wants to roll over and hug her pillow to my chest and just deeply inhale. On the other hand, my pride is wounded and now I feel like pushing her away. Perhaps if I treated her the way she had treated me these past few weeks she would understand better the torture she has put me through. There is that wonderful voice of self-doubt that creeps in asking would she even care.Allowing myself a few moments to continue to wallow in my own depression, I finally resolve myself to climb out of bed. Hoping that a nice hot shower will help lift the dredges of the soul crushing depression that has seeped deep into me. Climbing into the steaming shower I ponder how I
Daphne’s Point of ViewCaleb’s words shook me to my core. I know that I love him. I know that he is the person that I want to spend eternity with. I had never intended for things to get this bad, actually I had never intended for things to be bad at all. His words left me wondering if this is even fixable. Have I pushed Caleb beyond his limits?Not only am I trying to process everything that is happening between Caleb and I, but now I have to deal with Alpha Noah, and probably his snobby wife. I had never taken into consideration when we gave him the right to rule the pack that I would also have to deal with her or Heather. Melissa would be torture enough to deal with but the thought of Heather being in this house or anywhere close to Caleb sets my blood to boil.I was brooding on this when Hannah entered the kitchen. “Hey Caleb said that we need to set up a few things for the visiting Lunas, so I brought in my old scrapbook th
Daphne’s Point of View“Do you want to throw a ball, or do you want to have more of a feast?” Scarlett jumps in and gets directly to the point.“I have never held a ball before, so I have no idea where to even start with all of that.” I think that Scarlett can tell that I am feeling very overwhelmed.“Daphne forget what everyone else in history has done. You are the Luna of this pack, so it all boils down to what you want to do. If you want to have a ball, then we will throw a ball. If you want to have a feast, we will throw a fricking feast. If you want to have a country style hoe down, then we will figure out a way to make that happen.” Scarlett is getting animated, and I can tell that she is trying to make me calmer.“I have no idea what a country style hoe down is.” I inform both of them.Scarlett cannot suppress the peel of laughter that explodes out of her. “It is ba
Caleb’s Point of ViewMy eyes start to tear up from strain as I set the final documents for the night aside. I need to go to bed, everyone arrives tomorrow. On one hand I am excited to see Marcus. We have not been able to get together as often this year, and I miss his friendship. I shrug mentally noting that he and I both have mates now and that changes things.A pang of guilt shoots through me as I think of my mate. For the past week I have been working very hard to ensure that this upcoming meeting runs smoothly. It is even more important now that I know that I am expected to host the Mabon Ball this year. Working long hours has not left much time for Daphne and I to sort out our issues. In an ironic twist with the way I have been working it is almost as if I am the one avoiding her.Of course, this is purely coincidence. Yes, Daphne hurt me deeply, and I feel that we need to strengthen our bond. She still does not trust me fully, and I
Daphne’s Point of ViewI wake up tangled in Caleb’s arms. Last night was extremely emotional, but oddly enough I feel like we both healed a little last night. I slowly start to remove myself from Caleb’s grasp, not because I want to get away from him, but I have an appointment with Dr. Hollis this morning.I have been having some anxiety and stress over today. There will be several visiting Alphas and their Lunas, and some may bring additional family. I am not worried about the meetings that Caleb has to hold, I know that he has those covered. I am worried that I am going to say something wrong to the other Lunas, or somehow offend someone visiting.I slowly make my way quietly to the bathroom. I am hoping a good hot shower will loosen up some of my tight muscles and help me wake up for the day. I glance back at Caleb as I shut the door to the bathroom to ensure that he is asleep still.Stepping under the hot water bring
Daphne’s Point of ViewHannah could barely contain her excitement that the other packs were beginning to arrive. “Hannah why are you so excited? I think you have met most of these pack members before.” I was naturally curious.“I met Alpha Cole once when I was younger, but I do not remember much about him. I have never had the chance to meet Alpha Axle and rumor has it that he is gorgeous.” Hannah flashes me a mischievous smile.“Hannah you should not be worried about boys. When you are eighteen you will be able to find your mate. You should wait for him.” I remind her gently.“I know and I intend to. I just want to check out my possibilities. It is like being on a diet, but still looking at the dessert menu. I know that I am not going to order the yummy chocolate cake, but I can certainly look at it and appreciate all of its gloriousness.” She tells me with a laugh. I cannot stop from
Caleb’s Point of ViewWell, this is turning into such a lovely day, I think to myself sarcastically. I had already been anxious to see how Daphne was going to react to seeing Alpha Noah today. I had never considered the possibility that there was any potential for anyone to find a mate at this meeting. This was not a huge social gathering, nor a ball.Now I have a visiting Alpha that thinks Hannah is his mate. I have a ticked off Beta and his mate is acting like an overly ferocious momma bear. My mate is commanding people in a tone that is making Alpha’s bend to her will, and I have no idea how she is doing that. I have Hannah that seems both terrified and intrigued that Axle has declared she is his mate. Oh, and the really kicker to the wonderful assortment of problems I have a jealous guard, that is also another peculiar wolf. I feel a migraine coming on as I watch Brandon lead an Alpha into the warrior’s quarters. This meeting is f
