The Alpha's Slave Mate novel Chapter 38

Chapter Thirty-Eight

Caleb’s Point of View 

I have been having Hannah take Daphne out, and finalize the preparations for the mating ceremony. | miss spending time with her, but it has been strategic having her away from home. Theo left two days ago with a strong lead on her sister, andI am hoping to avoid any questions from her about it. I will do anything to avoid her getting hurt, and if Theo finds her sister and she does not want to come then I know it would hurt Daphne. 2

On a positive note Marcus and Lola will be here tomorrow, and I am excited for their visit. I have also received confirmation that Alpha Jerome will be attending as well. I think that this group of friendly faces will bring Daphne joy. Hannah sends me a text letting me know that Daphne has found a dress and they are heading over to the catering company.

I was hoping that Theo would have been in contact by now, but I have not heard from him since he left. I know that my Beta can handle himself in any fight, but I do not like him being out of contact for so long. Iam hoping that it means he is bringing Scarlet back with him.

My workload has almost tripled since Theo has been gone. I have had to contact various companies to set up tables, chairs, music, catering, basically the works. I have also had to take over most of Theo's classes, as well as handling my duties as Alpha, and ensuring that the neighboring packs have all received invitations to the mating ceremony. Luckily, I already have my tuxedo for the event. Hannah handled the flowers, except for the flowers I personally picked out for Daphne. Almost everything was done, and I am grateful for it.

Just then my phone starts ringing, exhausted I look down expecting it to be one of the businesses I have contracted for the event. To my utter surprise I see that it is Theo that is calling me.

“Please say that you have good news for me.” Theo will appreciate me getting down to business quick.

“I found her, and she and her mate are coming back with me. Are you alone?”

There is something worrisome in Theo’s voice. I let him know that I am indeed alone.

“Caleb I cannot put my finger on it yet, but I have a bad feeling about this. They have been nothing but hospitable to me since I have arrived, but something seems off with their behavior. Her sister is utterly submissive to her mate.

Almost as if she fears him. I have a bad feeling, but nothing to confirm my suspicions.” Theo sounds exhausted, which I am sure that he is. I know that he acted quickly on my behalf in order to find Daphne’s sister. °
