Caleb’s Point of View
For Daphne’s sake I am trying my hardest to get along with her sister and Dorian. I ensured that she has enough money to treat her sister to some shopping and a nice lunch. Theo and I discussed having a guy day with Dorian, neither of us wants to but we are curious about him. Daphne and Scarlet have already left for the day. I find Theo and we go in search of Dorian.
We find Dorian in the kitchen harassing one of our Omega members.
“All I want is some damn lunch.” Dorian is yelling at Annie, who looks terrified.
“DORIAN” I used my commanding voice, knowing that he will pay attention. “No one here is a slave. My Omegas do not make me food unless they want to. Here we do things for ourselves. Annie I am sorry about the confusion this is Dorian, Daphne’s brother in law. I will handle it from here, you
Daphne’s Point of ViewWhen I first woke up, I was confused. I have gotten so used to Caleb having his arms around me that not having him here in bed with me is foreign. If I am honest, I do not like this feeling at all. Turning to where he should be in bed with me instead, I find a note.Daphne, I can not wait until later today when we are bound as one in front of our community, and friends. I know we had a difficult day yesterday and I am sorry. Words can not express how happy this day with you makes me. Per tradition I am not supposed to see you before the ceremony, so I snuck out, while you were still sleeping. I am having breakfast brought up to you. Hannah, and the other girls will be over later to help you with hair and makeup. I just want you to relax and enjoy today. I will be waiting with bated breath until you are in my arms. Love, Caleb. P.S. You are so adorable when you are sleeping.
Caleb’s Point of ViewLeaving Daphne this morning was so difficult. I woke up earlier than usual so that I could watch her sleep a few more moments. Today is the day that we will be formally committed to each other, in front of our friends, pack members, and community. I have waited so long for this day and I am so excited that it is here. I know that Daphne thinks that I saved her, but in reality, she saved me. It is because of her that the blackness inside me, the anger, the rage has finally subsided. I am more focused on my pack, on leading us, and protecting us. I will spend everyday that I can showing her how grateful I am to her.I decided that tonight will be the night I tell her how I feel. How much I love watching her sleep, hearing her voice, and feeling her touch. I will tell her how she saved me from being feral. I will tell her how much I get lost in her eyes, in the scent of her. How her laugh so
Daphne’s Point of ViewScarlet gives me one more big hug. I know that once the doors open to the house, and I will walk down the steps, turn left and meet Caleb in the rose garden. My anxiety has me worried that I am going to fall on my face even getting down the steps. I take deep breaths trying to calm my nerves. Everything is going to be fine; Caleb is here. Scarlet steps forward, but before she can open the door I reach out and stop her.“Scarlet, I’m scared.” My anxiety is full force now. My heart is beating a million miles a second, and I am pretty sure that I am going to drop dead right here. Scarlet turns back and faces me with a smile.“Daphne, you are the strongest woman I know, and you are going to be a great Luna. You have been mated with a good man, a strong man that I think loves you.” She smiles at me reassuringly and I must admit her pep ta
Caleb’s Point of ViewToday has not gone the way that I had planned. I had planned so carefully, down to the flower arrangements. I thought that I had every base covered, surely nothing could go wrong. I had been arrogant, cocky enough to believe that no one would try to attack. My pack was known to be fearless, and it was no secret that my allies would be in attendance of my mating ceremony. I had pulled my guards in so that they could witness the ceremony, and in doing so I left my people vulnerable. I did this, in my own arrogance I created the war zone that was before me.I can only stare in horror at the woman who saved my life. I underestimated Dorian. I was already tired from fighting Alpha Jason when Dorian had surprised me from behind. He was quicker than I imagined he would be. He was also a better fighter than I ever would have given him credit for. Scarlet saved my life, but in doing so she lost he
Daphne’s Point of ViewMy mating ceremony was a few days ago, and although it was not the wonderful event we had originally planned, in the end I was still bound to Caleb. I was also announced as the Luna of our pack. Life did not slow down from there.The only living heirs to my father’s pack were my sister and I. My sister also happens to be the only living heir to her pack in California. On top of all of this, Scarlet has also discovered that she and Theo are second chance mates. There has been so much going on lately that Caleb and I have not been able to celebrate our mating ceremony.Right now, we are in talks with Beta Noah regarding the Silver Moon pack and the line of succession. Scarlet has already stated that she has no desire to be the acting Luna of the pack. The next in line for the job is me. I have no desire to try to lead people that could not even treat me like
Caleb’s Point of ViewI am startled awake a little after midnight and turn to find Daphne tossing about in our bed. Her forehead is beaded with sweat and she is practically crying in her sleep. My heart breaks imagining the horrors that my mate is living through in her dreams. My beautiful love has had to endure so much in her short life. I reach out and gather her in my arms, kissing her and softly reassuring her that she is safe and in my arms. She slowly wakes up and I continue to hold her, reassuring her in every way I can think of that I am here, she is safe, and I will always keep her safe.“I am sorry I woke you up.” Her voice is soft, and she hiccups a little with the last of hers sobs finally subsiding.“Do not be sorry my love. You have been through so much. I wish I could have saved you from everything that you have experienced. Daphne you are so strong, an
Daphne’s Point of ViewI am trying really hard not to cry as Scarlet and Theo are pulling out of the driveway. Rationally I know that they are only going to be gone for a few days. I also know that this is a journey that Scarlet must make. Being Luna of the Blue Mountain pack, I know that if I were in her shoes, I would not forsake my pack either. Irrationally though I never want her to leave, because I am worried that I will never see her again. Caleb notices that I am not taking the separation well and pulls me into his side, wrapping his arms around me. We stay like that on the front steps until Theo’s car disappears from sight.Caleb has been amazing about everything. The Moon Goddess could not have blessed me with a better mate. Throughout everything he has been patient, and kind. Seeking every way to comfort me. Walking back into the house, it now seems lonely with everyone gone. Caleb held true to
6 months laterDaphne’s Point of ViewScarlet and Theo have been back home now for a few months. I am enjoying the bond that we have developed, and life has settled down. Now the pack is getting ready for their commitment ceremony and I could not be happier for the both of them. I thank the Moon Goddess every night for blessing me with my life now. It is hard for me to even imagine my life before Caleb.Theo has developed a rigorous training program that has helped me develop my special ability more. As it turns out it seems I have the ability to project a protective barrier of sorts around people and objects. Of course, Theo was more than happy to tell Caleb that his hunches about wolves with special abilities has not failed him yet.I was very proud of myself for helping to develop some of my own training regimen. Theo was so impressed with my thoughts that I
