Daphne’s Point of View
Shortly after we left Caleb’s office, we were informed that more visitors were arriving. I quickly grabbed a bottle of water from the kitchen before once again joining my family on the front steps. While we patiently waited, I was lost in thought over everything that has happened. While I had been worried about saying something that would embarrass Caleb or the pack, I had never considered the possibility of our peculiar wolves being discovered. I had a newfound respect for Theo and Caleb for being able to hide them so effectively for so long.
I was also worried about Hannah. Could Axle really be her mate? If he is does that mean that she would be leaving to live with him? I was not prepared to lose yet another friend. Although I know that we would still see each other on occasion I was not prepared for her to live so far away. I also worried and wondered how that would work with her peculiar abilities as well. Would she eventu
Daphne’s Point of ViewWith the arrival of the catering company there was a flurry of activity. Hannah, Theo, and Scarlett helped to get all the kids upstairs and settled into their rooms so that they could get washed up and changed for dinner. I think that Marcus and Lola were relieved that we agreed to take Isabella and the twins. We all understand that we need to be hush hush regarding the hybrid status of the kids.Hybrids are frowned upon in nearly every community, even more so than rogues. There is a natural distrust between wolves, witches, and vampires. For centuries we fought each other mercilessly. Unfortunately for witches they were often used as pawns for factions fighting each other. The legend says that the reason there are so few witches today, is due to the enslavement they faced back then. As with all things humans and technology progressed, and we all moved forward. With the ever-increasing threat of human exposure and experimen
Caleb’s Point of ViewI left Daphne, Scarlett, and Hannah to prepare for the dinner tonight. The catering company had arrived, and our guests had already been shown to their rooms. No amount of preparation could have prepared me for today. I am worried that this may be an utter disaster, and with everything already bogging Daphne down I worry how this will affect her. I am also worried about putting our peculiar wolves in danger, and now I have new pups that are special that will need to be protected as well. This stress is going to cause me to grow grey hair.I slip away to my office, hoping for a few moments of silence. It is not long before both Theo, and Marcus slip in. I pour us each a drink and we settle into the chairs to catch up a bit.“I meant to ask earlier but got caught up in the moment. Lola seems rather attached to the girl Maria that you found, are you guys planning on adopting her if you can not locate her pack?&rdqu
Caleb’s Point of ViewWords can not describe how proud of Daphne I am. Even with everything that we had going on, she had managed to pull off an elegant but cozy dinner for everyone. The catering company went out of their way to ensure that there was a large variety of food, and drinks available to our guests. Daphne and the girls had managed to turn our formal dining room into a lovely, decorated area for the dinner tonight. I was impressed to learn that she was the one that folded the linen napkins into origami swans. It was beautiful, and classically elegant. Walking into the room I quickly spotted her sipping a glass of wine talking to Scarlett, and Lola. My heart swelled looking at my beautiful mate.Daphne had chosen to wear a simple black cocktail dress tonight, with simple beading on the bodice, and a peek a book slit on the left leg. I swear that there was no woman that could outshine her radiant beauty. “We are lucky men, aren&rsq
Daphne’s Point of ViewI could have strangled Caleb for disappearing with the guys. While I would have been perfectly content to sit and talk with almost everyone at the table, I was not happy that Melissa and Heather were still here. For a few moments we had peace, all of the ladies were getting along, and it was nice.“This is boring we should go into the town and hit up the nightclub.” Heather’s nasally voice reached me.“Oh, a nightclub, that could be fun girls.” Lola was a free spirit, and this does seem like something up her alley.“We do have a rather early day tomorrow ladies, and I do not think that our men would find it a good idea to be out in the club so late. Heather since you are unmated perhaps, we could send a warrior with you and your packs Beta to the club instead?” I was relieved that Scarlett thought of a good solution. I would not be comfortable in a nightclub, especiall
Caleb’s Point of ViewI followed my mate up to our bedroom. It was hard to hold my composure as we made our way up our stairs. As soon as we were in the room, she spun around to face me.“I am sorry. I know that this gathering is important, and I know that it was one of the first that I was involved in as a Luna. I know that I have placed your alliance in jeopardy.” She was pouring out words so quickly it was as if she was running a marathon with them.“Daphne stop” I tried to tell her.“Look I will apologize if you need me to. I really do not want to but I will never do anything to put the pack in danger.” She was rather wound up and talking with her hands.“Love please” I tried to cut in again.“I know that they do not have our fighting forces, but I did not mean to cause a war. It is just she started talking and I seen red.” I could not take her rambling an
Daphne’s Point of ViewI cannot recall the last time I woke up feeling this refreshed. I lay in bed for a few moments enjoying the feel of Caleb’s arm around me as I think back to last night. I expected him to be furious with me. Downstairs in the dining room his demeanor had been frigid, and in truth he had frightened me a little. I was shocked that not only was he not upset with me, but he was proud of my actions. He told me that he was happy that I got to finally stick up for myself. He even said that I looked hot while doing it.Thinking of his words and remembering the hungry look in his eyes spreads a warmth throughout my body that I have not felt in a long time. Almost by habit I squirm a bit closer to Caleb, feeling his warmth on my neck, his hard chest against my back. A moment of clarity makes me wonder if I am doing the right thing. The warmth and memories of Caleb’s hands warming my body make me want to tease him, but my b
Caleb’s Point of ViewThere is nothing more satisfying than starting the day by pleasing your wife. Thankfully, Daphne had hired the catering company to be available all this week, so I knew that our guests were being taken care of for breakfast. After Daphne and I showered and got dressed for the day, I kissed her goodbye, and gave her a good swat on the butt. She has arranged for the women to go to the local spa and to be pampered. I was all smiles as I got the paperwork ready for the first round of meetings with the Alphas. Today was going to be a productive, but good day.“Alpha Caleb, may I have a moment of your time?” I was interrupted by Alpha Jerome asking me from the doorway of my office.“Of course, you may. Can I get you a drink?” I offer him, but he shakes his head no as he wearily takes a seat across from my desk.“Getting old is hell young man.” He begins with a chuckle. “I wan
Daphne’s Point of ViewWe had planned on taking two vehicles to the spa, and I was hoping that I would get lucky, and that Melissa would be in the second vehicle. Unfortunately, fate had other plans and we ended up in the same car. I received a little satisfaction that I also had Scarlett, and Lola with us as well. Alma opted to ride with Hannah and Isabella. Caleb was insistent that we take four warriors with us as well. While normally we do not have to worry when we are in the human town, since most of the women with me are Lunas, he wanted to ensure our safety.It did not take long to get everyone loaded up and on the road. For awhile the car was relatively quiet, then Lola asked the driver to turn on the radio. Instantly there was a pop song blaring through the speakers, and Lola was dancing in her seat singing along to the fast music. Her energy was infectious and soon Scarlett and I found ourselves dancing along too. Melissa sat as still as
