Daphne’s Point of View
We did not have to walk too far before we came upon a group of vehicles. I have seen some of the vehicles in my town but have never ridden in one. Eve3ryone is piling into trucks, and cars and I look up at Caleb with questions.
“We tend to run everywhere we usually need to go, but for longer trips yes we use our cars.” He is almost chuckling as he explains. “Come on my jeep is right over here.” Caleb brings me to a larger SUV style vehicle. It is an off-white color with larger tires that look like they are for off road hauling. The truck is more spacious than I expected it to be and Caleb loads up our bags. I am nervous and excited to be going in a car for my first time. Theo and Hannah throw their stuff in the back as well.
Caleb goes around to the passenger side and opens the front door. “Daphne, I want you to ride up front with me
Caleb’s Point of ViewI could not help looking over at Daphne the entire ride. It is still amazing to me how much of the world she has not really seen or interacted with. Watching her gazing out the window it is almost like she is in another world. I guess for her she is in another world. There are so many things that I want to take her to do and experience that I have started a mental list.Watching her looking at all the tress I know that I want to take her to the coast. The drive through the river gorge is breathtaking. When we are passing through La Grande I add taking her to a movie. I bet that she has never seen a big screen or seen a 3-D movie. As we get closer to home, I get a little nervous.Although things seem to be progressing with Daphne on a physical level, I still do not think that she has accepted fully that she is my mate. I do not know if she will like the house, or e
Daphne’s Point of ViewIt has been a couple of weeks since I moved in with Caleb. I am still getting used to my new life, and I am learning new things quickly. My first few days here were a blur of action. Caleb insisted on buying me a whole new wardrobe. For the first time in my life I own jeans. I was astounded at the money Caleb was throwing around, but he insisted that it was for a good cause, because I can not run around naked. Caleb was a great shopping partner until it came time for undergarments. At that point he called in Hannah as a reinforcement.Hannah was a ton of fun shopping with. She filled the cart with all kinds of lacy panties, with bras to match. We giggled as we held them up to each other in front of the dressing room mirror. Hannah insisted I get a few thongs, I thought that they would be uncomfortable, but surprisingly they are not. She eventually talked me into buying a few lingerie thi
Caleb’s Point of ViewWork has consumed me lately. We are expecting a harsh winter, so I have been in trade negotiations with neighboring packs, trying to ensure that everyone is supplied. I have also been fielding a lot of questions about my mate. Although Daphne and I have marked each other, we have not set a date for the ceremony. This is making people question whether we are true mates. Daphne should have stepped up as my Luna, but she is still learning about herself and our pack. I know that she is not ready. I am hoping to shield her from the extra attention for a little while longer. Hopefully with time she will become more comfortable with her new position in life.This waiting game has taken its toll on me though. I hear the rumors that we have trouble in paradise, that she is not my real mate, that a spell was cast over me to make me believe that she is my mate. They are a bunch of crap, but rumors s
Daphne’s Point of ViewWaking up the next morning I find myself tangled in Caleb’s arms. The feeling is nice, but I have started to put up a wall between us. My emotions are a mess. After last night I just need some space. I ease out of Caleb’s hold and edge myself off the bed. I do not want to wake Caleb; I need to get out and run. I need to clear my head. No lessons, no training, no mate business just me, my wolf, and the woods. Successfully making it off the bed, I hurry to the closet and find my old sweats and tee shirt. I throw them on and grab my tennis shoes and head to the door. I ease it open and look back at Caleb pleased that I am making it out without waking him up.I head out the front door and sit on the steps to put my shoes on. It is early in the morning and the sun has not begun to rise yet, but the sky is lightening up in color making everything visible. There is a crisp feeling t
Caleb’s Point of ViewWaking up and realizing that Daphne was not by my side was one of the scariest moments of my life. After last night I was sure that she had left me. I have gotten used to waking up with her in my arms, not having her there was alien feeling and I hated it. I jumped out of bed mind linking Theo, demanding him and the elite squad of warriors out front now. Theo kept asking what was wrong, but I was too frazzled to answer him.Rushing out of my room Theo met me before I hit the front door. “Caleb is there a security breach?” Theo is ready for an all-out war.“She is gone.” It is all I can get out reaching for the door handle. Theo stops me, and physically steps in front of me blocking me from leaving the house.“Stop and explain to me the situation. You look half crazy, and you cannot address our people like this
Daphne’s Point of ViewCaleb had brought me to a beautiful place, it felt magical and I was so relaxed. Until he said those words that instantly spiked my anxiety, made my heartbeat faster than a bullet train, and my mouth go dry.“Daphne, we need to talk.”Looking at Caleb’s profile, I can see that he is dead serious. I wish I had a time machine, and we could go back to just a little while ago when we were laughing and playing around like little kids. Is this how he is going to tell me that he does not want me anymore, that I am not measuring up as his mate? I try to mentally prepare myself, but honestly if he does not want me anymore, I will be devastated. I shift a little so that I am looking at him dead on, and nod for him to continue.“I know that you are still learning about the werewolf community, and I have been trying my hardest
Daphne’s Point of ViewCaleb and I napped for a short time after all the fun that we had. I woke up to him nuzzling my neck and shoulder. I felt like we were in a magical place that was made solely for us. As if the Moon Goddess herself craft every blade of grass, the waterfall, the trees, and the rocks just for us. After Caleb realized I was awake he stood up and scooped me up in his arms, cradling me to his chest as if I were a baby.“Caleb what are you doing?” I could not help but ask him.“Well my love if you must know I am taking us for a little dip. I figure that our romp this afternoon is going to make you a little sore, and this water is fed from an underground spring which so happens to be a hot spring.” As Caleb is finished filling me in, I hear him start to enter the water.“So, is this better than seeing me in a bikini?
Caleb’s Point of ViewToday with Daphne could not have gone better. Surprisingly even with our afternoon romp I learned a lot of new information about my mate. For years I have coveted a love like that of which my parents had. I feel like I can eventually have that kind of relationship with Daphne. It gives me hope for a great future. I can vision us growing old together and watching our grandchildren run around the yard one day. Walking into the house, Theo is already waiting for me to give me the report. I know that nothing is wrong because if there was a crisis, he would have mind linked me to come home immediately. Daphne heads into the kitchen to make some dinner and I have news to tell Theo as well. Since Daphne has finally committed to a time frame for the mating ceremony there is a lot of things that I must get prepared beforehand.“I have some interesting news to share with you.” I can tel
