The Alpha's Slave Mate novel Chapter 64

Book 2 Chapter 12

Caleb’s Point of View

Of all of the ways that today could have

turned out this was the one scenario that

I had never considered. How could she hit

me? I never seen my parents raise a hand

to each other. I have never been so upset with Daphne. To be honest I am barely

containing my anger right now. I had to

leave the house before I said or did

something that we would both end up

regretting.

Currently I am storming off towards the woods. I am hoping that a nice long run with my wolf will help clear my head. I cannot believe that amount of rage that is coursing through me right now. Not only did she strike me, but she thought that I would cheat on her. Daphne has that little trust in me. I know that she had a difficult

past, but I have never done anything that

would make her jump to that kind of

conclusion. I do not even look at other

women.

Finally entering the woods, I quickly strip down before shifting. I love allowing my wolf out, but tonight he is as angry and hurt as I am. Like a rocket I take off at breakneck speed, running towards my favorite spot in the world. I easily jump over fallen trees, and limbs in my path. with the single determination of finding some peace. I slow my speed as I leap over the last bit of rock in my way. Panting I finally come to a stop, and lap at the

water in the lake. It is a small lake that is fed through an underground spring that has a small waterfall.

My wolf paces lazily around the waters edge, until I come to the spot that I had brought Daphne. It seems like a lifetime ago that I brought her up here. She was

the only woman that has ever seen this

spot with me. It is where I came as a boy

after my parents passed to think, and

center myself. For some reason, this spot is calming and soothing to my soul, and exactly what I need right now. 1

After pacing for a moment, I lay down

staring at the waterfall. My mind briefly

transports back to when I brought

Daphne here. She was amazed by the

water and loved being here. I miss

hearing her laughter. My anger has

finally dissipated, and I whimper as the hurt finally settles into my soul.

Unable to stop myself I howl out in

frustration. I have done everything I can

think of to make Daphne both love and

trust me. I took her away from her abusive parents. I reunited her with her

sister. Hell, I even accepted her sister’s

pack as my own. There is literally nothing that I would not do for her, and yet she

still doubts me. I lay there for awhile longer, wallowing in my own self pity and

issue of this years Mabon Ball which I do

believe either you or Alpha Jerome is

hosting this year. I know that we have not

had a peaceful past, but I would like to

rectify that, and I would hope that we

would move to become friends as well.”

His voice sound sincere and after fighting with Daphne I have no will to fight with anyone else.

“You know what Alpha Noah you are right. Seeing as there may be possible mates between our two packs we should be friendly. I will expect to see you here next week as my guest. I will personally

see to it that you receive the invitation shortly.” After I caved into his request, we finished our conversation and hung

It was not until I was fully dressed and

walking back to the house that I realized that I know needed to tell Daphne that he would be here. Regardless of our fight

earlier I never want her to feel

uncomfortable in her own home. Sighing I creep quietly into the house in case she is already sleeping.

Creeping open our bedroom door I can

see that Daphne is already in bed. I inch. closer to her and through the bright moonlight I can see the tear stains upon her cheeks. My heart aches that she cried,

but I am still feeling the sharp knife of betrayal at her lack of trust. None the less

I quickly disrobe and climb into bed next to her. Perhaps tomorrow we can have a

better day.
