Caleb’s Point of View
I really hated leaving my mate. She was vulnerable right now and I wanted to stay and comfort her some more. I know that she is going to sleep for a while, she unloaded a lot of emotional baggage that she has kept locked away for a long time. That kind of emotional release tends to be exhausting both physically and mentally. I made sure that she was secure in the bed before I headed out assess the damage of tonight.
Theo let me know that he is outside the manor house by the back door. I take the back stairs down, retracing my steps from this morning. Thinking about this morning makes me realize just how much my life has also changed in such a short period of time. Heading towards the woods this morning I was fearful of becoming a feral wolf, almost sure that the Moon Goddess had forgotten to create a mate for me. Now here I am with my mate upstairs, ready to wage war on those that have hu
Daphne’s Point of ViewThe first thing I noticed when I woke up was a strange arm around me. My breath froze in my lungs, I refused to move until I could piece together what was going on. Then yesterday came flooding back to me Everything all at once, being sold, learning that Caleb thinks I am his mate, going to the ball, and then breaking down in front of Caleb. Remembering the last part of the night makes my face flame in embarrassment.Turning my head slightly I can see that it is Caleb’s arm around me, and he is still asleep. Taking advantage of the moment, I watch the steady rise and fall of his chest. His face is so relaxed he almost appears boyish. Caleb was truly a gentleman; he had tucked me into the bed under the covers and he slept on top of the covers. I appreciate his thoughtfulness.A few stray hairs have fallen over his forehead, and I have the strange want to bru
Caleb’s Point of ViewHearing Daphne still question whether we were mates made me want to prove it to her in all the wrong ways. I never intended for things to go so far, but I was lost the moment that she pressed herself up against me. I tried to be gentle, kissing her softly, trying not to rush the moment. I could smell her excitement. I felt her breath quicken, and I could feel her nipples harden into pebbles against my chest. I gave her an opportunity to stop when I flipped her on top of me. To my surprise my actions made her bolder and she ground her sweet delicate folds against me. My wolf howled in pleasure at her moans, pleased with her excitement, and wetness. Daphne had only been wearing panties, and a tee-shirt so I could feel how wet her flower was through my basketball shorts. Seeing the ache on her face, knowing that she needed to find release I did the only thing I could think of that would tip her over the edge without
Daphne’s Point of ViewAs I was getting out of the shower, I could hear Hannah’s bubbly voice calling my name. I poked my head out of the bathroom and let her know that I was only going to be a moment. I hurried and dried off and threw my clothes on before tying my hair up in a ponytail. Today I was finally leaving, and surprisingly I had mixed emotions about it. I was happy to be leaving here, that I was no longer a slave. On the other hand, this place is all I have ever known. I am a little anxious about going to a place that is completely brand new. I truly wonder what my future holds.“Are you ready to see your new home?” Hannah is already bouncing around the room, a wide smile capturing her face. Her energy is contagious, and I find myself getting excited about it as well. “I can not wait for you to see the house; I think you are going to love it. Oh, and I can show you around our
Daphne’s Point of ViewWe 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
