Daphne Danmachi 소설 & 이야기

People were chit-chatting and sharing drinks around grouped tables. I scanned everywhere but there was no sign of Alpha Lex, nor Daisy and Dylan. As I was leaning on the balustrade of the balcony looking down into the crowd, Daniel tried to sneak up, but Amber sensed him like a mile away! She is very strong now. Apparently, the beta blood kicked in because I was feeling new. I didn’t want to ruin his surprise⎯ though it wasn't a surprise no more. He tiptoed and grabbed my hips, which tickled me and I smiled when I felt his fingers on my navel. It felt so sweet.

"Daph can really do it. For those who don't know, Daph is amazing at Sarcozian and has learned martial arts. She's a perfect match for the character!" "I don't know much about Daphne, but after reading about her, I really think she fits the vibe for the main character of 'Daughter of the Sea'. "She's also someone who worked hard to succeed and found a suitable partner for herself. I think the role was made for her!"

’ Dark mussed, enjoying the tension inside the room. ‘You can’t blame me for fucking your woman. You are always out of the territory, seeking for that goddamn Daphne !’ Darius roared. The grin on my face vanished slowly as he mentioned Daphne ’s name. I grasped the blinds until they almost crushed in my hand, especially when my ear caught Lennon’s response. ‘It’s my fucking duty! Daphne ’s also my mate!’ 'That was impossible!"

___________________________________________________ Dad Mave was waiting for me when I arrived and I hugged him. “ My princess. What took you so long?” he asked me. He is Six foot five inches taller and I am only five-two. But we share the same red hairs and freckles on our noses. He is bulky like a mountain and his body is painted with gigantic tattoos. My favorite among them is me. Yes, you heard correct he has tattooed ten years old Daphne on his back. “ Ahh.” I groaned and continued. “ I got detention for being late.”

I replied, just then, Daphne walked down the staircase and towards us. “Oh Wow, you’re here, Hi Harper,” she greeted with a tight lipped smile, I won’t lie that I wasn’t surprised, she didn’t pass to me as someone who could actually smile, but I guess I probably didn’t just get to know her outside of work setting. “Hi Daphne,” I greeted in reply with a small smile also and we all settled down around the dinning to eat, Damon finally let go of my hands, pulled out a chair for me and made me sit before pushing it back in a little, through the corner of my eyes I could see his mother and sister exchange suspicious glances but it would be so weird to look at them. Damon slowly pulled out his cha

“Daphne , this is… Ivanis, right?” “Dr. Ivanis Hunter, enchanté.” He caught Daphne ’s hand and kissed it. She giggled behind a curtain of glossy black hair, and I muttered, “Jesus Christ,” which earned me a neat thwack from Blondie’s pale-yellow clutch. It matched her daisy-print set—cropped top, swing skirt—exposing a tempting strip of midriff I wanted to trace with one finger and a very bad idea. “Found another one,” Blondie announced, fishing a second Rejuvenating Hand Wash from my gift bag and passing it to Daphne .

ACCESS GRANTED. The heavy double doors hissed softly, unlocking and sliding open into the dark study. Daphne glided inside, closing the doors behind her. She walked straight around the massive mahogany desk, tapping the central glass terminal. The screen illuminated in the dark room, displaying the master database of Vance Enterprises. She pulled the black satellite phone from her robe pocket, plugging a thin, high-speed data transfer cable into the terminal's secondary port. Her fingers flew across the glass interface with scary, practiced precision—far from the helpless girl who claimed she couldn't operate a computer.

A woman looked down at her from a higher step. She swallowed, meeting the woman’s gaze, a bit uncertain about how to answer her. “My name is Daphne.” “And? Who are you to His Highness?” Her eyes narrowed. “She’s important,” Blade said from behind her. Daphne looked back at him. “When he wakes up, he’ll want her nearby.” Daphne turned back to look at her. She straightened her spine. “Very well. Follow me this way, please.”

Then I saw her and something inside me snapped. Daphne sat curled against the cold floor, trembling violently while members of the Light Festival council surrounded her. Bruises covered her skin—her neck, stomach and legs. One side of her lip was swollen and there were scratches along her arms as though someone had dragged her across the ground. Rage exploded through me so violently it nearly drowned out reason. “What is happening here?” My voice boomed through the court, causing everyone to flinch and turn toward me in fear. I crossed the room quickly and crouched beside Daphne. She immediately curled tighter into herself, her face lowered as if expecting another blow.

She waved her hand at the guards to leave and they did. “What's your name?” “Good morning my Luna, my name is Daphne, ma” “Daphne” she repeated, tasting my name on her tongue, “I used to have one Daphne as a colleague back then. Do you know what happened to her?” “No ma” I shook my head, how was I supposed to know? “She disappeared. She disobeyed me and suddenly disappeared” She raised her shoulders like she didn't know how Daphne disappeared and I gulped in fear.
