Theo’s Point of View
I am very good at gathering information from people and computers. I became sort of an investigator after my mate passed away. My dear sweet Miranda, death took her way too soon from my arms. Miranda had been involved in a car accident year before last. It was eastern Oregon in January; roads were slick, and we eventually found her jeep flipped over in a ditch off the highway. Police initially tried to say that they believed that she had hit an animal, but I personally went to the scene and scented no other animal near her.
The front end of jeep was smashed in from where she had hit the ditch, but no one could explain why the back end of her jeep was smashed in. I also pointed out that there seemed to be a paint transfer, her jeep was white, the transfer paint was blue in color. I almost lost my mind arguing with the police and the detectives because I needed to know what had happened to t
Caleb’s Point of ViewAfter sending Theo out on the task of finding out who the young mystery lady was, I continued to stroll a little through the town. My wolf was begging me to go for another run before the ball tonight, but I knew that I needed to be present when the other two packs arrived. I knew one of the two packs that would be attending, the Crest Line pack. I was looking forward to seeing Marcus, the Alpha again. Rumor has it that he has found his mate and I am eager to find out if it is true.As if fate were reading my thoughts, I could hear the scouts informing some of the closer wolves that there is a pack approaching. I turn and head back to the manor house to greet the guests. As I draw near, I see that Alpha Jason, and Luna Amanda are already outside waiting at the top of the steps. I step next to Alpha Jason hoping that it is the Crest Line pack that is headed in. Just as the first wolves step
Daphne’s Point of ViewSo far today I had done a great job staying out of everyone’s way and avoiding any conflict. After leaving the meeting hall I retreated to my room, but on the back stairs once again was that smell. I was intrigued, but I know that if I went snooping there was a great risk of getting punished. Today was one of the rare days that no one has hit me so far. I desperately wanted to pull out my book and read a few chapters, but the house was still bustling with people getting ready and more people arriving. I was too afraid that someone would catch me, and then they would take my book.I peaked out my window and watched the Mission pack arrive. I knew Alpha Jerome, and his Luna. They had visited our pack before. At one point I know that Alpha Jerome had hoped that my sister Scarlet was his son’s mate. To his disappointment they were not; however, one of his best warriors found his
Caleb’s Point of ViewI was pacing around my room, waiting for Theo to come back and let me know if Alpha Jason had agreed to a sit down. I wanted this business to be over quickly, and I am sure that I can persuade them to sell the slave girl. I have already decided that even if I find my mate tonight, that my pack will be leaving early tomorrow morning. Like Theo I do not like being around a pack that owns slaves. I am also having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that the Alpha and Luna were so blinded by grief that they condemned their daughter to servitude. My parents were loving parents. My father was patient with me, and even though he was the Alpha he always spent adequate time with me. I remember when I was about four, I snuck into the training grounds where my father was training our warriors. He immediately spotted me, and I expected to be tol
Daphne’s Point of ViewI was in the middle of wiping down my bathroom sink when my door burst open. My heart instantly sank as I noticed it was Beta Noah, and the man I had seen downstairs at my door. Keeping my eyes to the floor so that I would not offend anyone, I walked out of the bathroom and waited for order.“You are to come down to the Alpha’s study immediately. I will escort you there.” Beta Noah barked out. I started shivering, thinking that I must have done something to offend the visiting Alpha since his Beta was here with Noah as well. Walking out of my room I tried to replay every movement I have made since the Alpha arrived. Other than watching him greet the Mission pack I do not ever recall even seeing him. My palms are sweating, and my stomach is in knots trying to figure out how I could have offended the Alpha.As we make it to the first floor it dawn
Caleb’s Point of ViewI could smell her before I ever even seen her face. Instantly my wolf was howling, mine. My heart stopped in my chest when she walked through the door. She is breathtaking. Even in sweatpants and an old tee-shirt she is the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. She is long legged, with long brown hair cascading in soft waves down her back. She looks thin, and in the back of my mind I wonder when the last time she ate was.Her scent is intoxicating, better than the best wines ever produced. It reminds me of sunshine, gladiolas, pine trees, and rosemary. She smells like the forest in springtime, pure, natural and mine. My wolf is begging to come out. He is practically demanding it. He wants to take her in our arms, hold her and never let go.As if she can read my mind she looks into my eyes. My wolf is howling so loud its difficult to concentrate. Her eyes are a
Daphne’s Point of ViewEverything is happening so fast its almost as if the world tipped over on its axis and dumped me into an alternate reality. One moment I am in my father’s study, pledging my loyalty to a new pack, and the next I am being whisked through the halls of the manor house by Alpha Caleb. My mind is racing trying to filter and comprehend all the changes going on. It is more difficult because Alpha Caleb is holding my hand.The moment he pulled me up it was like an inferno when he touched me. Warmth radiated between our hands, racing up my arm and spilling through my chest. My nipples hardened instantly, and it felt like they were straining against my shirt. My body has never reacted this way and it is a little frightening.His scent keeps wafting behind him and tickling my nose. I recognize it instantly as the smell from the back stairs earlier except now it is so
Caleb’s Point of ViewI have never felt so hopeless as I did when my mate started crying. These were not tears like you see on television. This was full out sobbing from the heart. It twisted my stomach up knowing that she has endured so much mental and emotional pain in her lifetime. It also makes me angry that people have treated like this so much that she believes that she does not deserve to be love. I made a vow right there and then that I would spend the rest of my days ensuring that she knows that she is loved and adored.When she pulled back from me, I wanted to show her that her life would be different moving forward. I have waited so long for my mate that I was ready to beg her to stay with me. To give us a chance. I am hoping with time and patience that she will come to love me and need me as much as I need her. I know that my pack will accept her with open arms. They have been waiting for me to fin
Daphne’s Point of ViewI could hear Caleb talking to some people in the bedroom. My mind is racing trying to comprehend everything that was happening so quickly. When I woke up this morning, I was a slave, now I am no longer a slave. Caleb says that I am his mate, but I still cannot understand how the Moon Goddess would let that happen. I will admit that standing in his arms, against his chest felt like home in a way. My mind was at peace, and for once I was completely relaxed. The closest I have been to that feeling was shifting and running through the forest. I have never been that relaxed or comforted in human form. After not being hugged for so long it felt great to just be held.My thoughts were interrupted by someone knocking on the bathroom door. “Hey whenever you are ready to come out, we have some dresses available for you to look at.” The woman’s voice is soft, but bubbly and I inst
