Caleb’s Point of View
While Daphne was in the bathroom getting ready for the day I decided to go to the kitchen and prepare her a breakfast. Today will be the first day that she has left our room since she found out that the baby was not viable. Even though she has taken some meals in our room, I do not feel that she has been eating enough and her weight loss is now visible. Staring around the kitchen at the cabinets I wonder what I can cook that will guarantee that she will eat.
While I am not a culinary expert, I have picked up a few things along the way. I hurry and begin pulling out bacon, sausage, eggs, and fruit. I have no idea what Daphne will want to eat so I decide to make a few things so that she may choose. I start the bacon and sausage first before whipping some eggs in a bowl. My eye catches the cupboard where we keep the starch ingredients and I pull out some English Muffins as well as some pancake mix. Too soon I am trying to keep
Daphne’s Point of View“That is really good Ellie, now try to revive this iris.” I praise the younger pup as she works on her special abilities. It has been a week since my appointment, and since Caleb asked me to take over some of the training that Theo normally does with our unique wolves. Currently I am working with Ellie. Ellie can make plants grow faster, and healthier. We are working on honing her abilities to revive dead plants now.Theo and Caleb brought me into the loop about unique wolves after we discovered that I was one myself. Since then, I have worked on honing my own abilities but have also helped Theo with the other wolves. We still have not discovered why our pack has these abilities, and we have not uncovered any evidence that would suggest that these abilities exist in any other pack.We have a few working ideas as to why our wolves possess these talents, but in reality, none of our studies have given us a c
Caleb’s Point of ViewI had hoped that life would settle down and that there would be some return to normalcy after everything we went through this last year, but life seems to be throwing curve balls our way in rapid pace. Sighing I finally give up on trying to understand the food store ledgers in front of me and lean back in my office chair to reflect on everything that has happened. In the last year I finally found my mate, which stopped me from going feral but that came with complications. Daphne had been used as a slave. She had been abused, and because she was not allowed to have a normal life growing up she was severely behind in her knowledge of Lycans. Not the best position for her considering she was mated to an Alpha.Thankfully, my mate is quick witted and determined and with Theo’s help she has learned a vast amount and taken her place at my side as the Luna. On top of that Daphne was reunited with her sister. Our mating ceremo
Daphne’s Point of ViewIt had been a few days since the encounter I had with Caleb in the kitchen. I know that pushing him away hurt him emotionally, but I am just not ready to be physical again with him. It is not that I do not desire him, his very touch sends delicious tendrils of joy throughout my body. I am just fearful of getting pregnant again. As much as I have been trying to act like it has not bothered me, the truth is glaringly obvious that I am still healing. Scarlett has suggested seeking a counselor, but I do not know if I am ready to open up to anyone about how I am truly feeling.It all comes down to the fact that I feel like I am not only failing Caleb, but that I am failing my pack as well. I never really believed that I was Luna material. I was raised as a slave, and it even took me awhile to accept that I was Caleb’s fated mate. Compared to wolves like Scarlett, Hannah, or just about any other she wolf I find myself infer
Caleb’s Point of ViewKnock, KnockI get distracted from the paperwork sitting at my desk as Theo pokes his head in my office. “Hey how is everything going?”I sigh and do not try to hide the stress that is weighing down on me. “Well as far as I can see we are good as far as food for the winter, thanks to Ellie our crops have done well. With Hannah’s help the livestock are doing great too. Even with the boost in pack members thanks to your careful planning we are set. Alpha Jerome has requested a few things, but it is all things that we can cover.”“Ok so now that you have filled me in with knowledge that I already know, how are you doing? As in you specifically.” Par usual nothing escapes Theo’s attentiveness.I pull out two tumblers and the bottle of Brandy that I keep in the desk and pour us both a drink. “In truth man I feel lost. I know that Daphne needs me t
Caleb’s Point of ViewThe next morning Daphne is out of our bed before the sun rises. This has been a habit of hers lately and it is beyond frustrating. I miss holding my mate in my arms. Just thinking of her toned body pressed against my skin, has my member jumping to life. Growling in frustration, I decide to hop in the shower hoping that the water will cool the slow burning of my blood.Basking in the warmth of the water I recall the vivid dream that I was having of Daphne that led to me waking up craving her body. In the dream we were back in the kitchen except this time she did not stop me, instead she purred into my ear, as she nipped at my neck. I had pushed her shirt over her head and took my time teasing her perky nipples through her bra, while slightly rocking my hips against hers allowing her to feel the full length of my erection against her sensitive nub. She had bite my neck and was happily rubbing herself against me as well.
Daphne’s Point of ViewI jolt awake in a cold sweat, and it takes me a moment to realize where I am. Once the fog of sleep has lifted, I look to make sure that I have not woken Caleb up. Thankfully, he is still soundly sleeping and was not disturbed by my movement. For a moment I am jealous that he is able to sleep so soundly when lately I have been consumed by nightmares. Knowing that I will not be able to find sleep again I carefully remove Caleb’s arm from around me and slip out of bed.My wolf was itching to be free, and since no one else was up I decided that going for a nice morning run would clear my head. I quickly throw on a pair of shorts, and a shirt and grab my shoes as I quietly walk out of our bedroom door. It does not take me long to make my way out of the house.As I start walking towards the woods, I cannot stop my mind from wandering back to my dream. Somehow in my dream my parents were still alive. Caleb had gotten
Caleb’s Point of ViewAfter letting Theo know that I am leaving the pack lands for a quick errand, I am pumped up as I climb in my Jeep. Everything that I have planned out for Daphne is going perfectly, and I hope this is enough to show my beloved mate that there is nothing in this world that I will not do to make her happy. Daphne’s scent to me has always had a tinge of gladiolas, and I know the perfect place for me to get her a beautiful boutique. I wave goodbye to the guards as I head into LaGrande.It is not very often that we must wander into human lands for things. Theo and I have built our pack up to be as self-sufficient as possible. We grow most of our own food and raise our own livestock. We also hunt and fish when we want or need to, never taking more from the Earth than we put back. So, I decide that I will take advantage of this time and roll down my windows and blare the radio. I recall when I had brought Daphne to our home. T
Chapter Eleven:Daphne’s Point of ViewAfter speaking with Dr. Hollis, I started to formulate a plan to surprise Caleb. It has been a long time since I joined Caleb for dinner, and even longer since I have cooked for him. Caleb once remarked that he loved my cooking. I ran down to the kitchen to start looking to see what supplies we had available while I was thinking about my plan.Taking a quick inventory of what I had available I decided to make Caleb chicken enchiladas with red sauce, Spanish rice, and cornbread cake. I carefully begin to season the chicken and make the dough for the tortillas. Cooking was the one chore that I never minded doing. I love the scents of the various spices, and there is an enjoyment in watching people enjoy the food that I make. Once the chicken is done I add a few more seasonings before letting it cool so that I can shred it.I start to get nervous as dinner time approaches.
