The Alpha's Slave Mate novel Chapter 93

Daphne’s Point of View

It did not take me long to finish getting ready after Caleb left. I took a few long breaths to calm my inflamed face before I left our room. Caleb has my heart pounding. As the Luna of my pack, and with us still entertaining guests then I cannot be waltzing around like a lovesick puppy, filled with lust. Once I felt the blood leave my face, and my pulse slow I knew it was time to leave the room. Surprisingly I felt rather hungry this morning but thinking about the activities of the previous night it should not have been a surprise that I have worked up an appetite.

With the ghost of last night replaying through my mind, and a huge smile on my face I happily left the bedroom and headed downstairs to have breakfast. I barely made it out of the room before my arm was grabbed and I was yanked into the study.

“What the hell Scarlett that hurt.” I whisper yell at my sister as she finally relents and releases my arm.

“Sorry for the rough handling, but we both decided that we wanted this conversation to remain private.” At Scarlett’s words I look around the room and realize that Luna Alma is also in the study with us.

“Sorry for not greeting you sooner Luna Alma. I hope that you have thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us so far, and tonight’s summers bash will also be a delightful event.” Alma smiles slightly at my words, but I can see there is also some strain in her face.

“Yes, our stay has been delightful, and Jerome and I have a deep appreciation for the kindness that you and Caleb have bestowed upon us both.” Alma heaves a heavy sigh before she continues. “Scarlett has told me that she revealed that I was in contact with a witch, and that you are hoping to be in contact with her as well.” She looks uneasy and is wringing her hands in front of her.

“I am very sorry if this is causing you any concern, I promise that Caleb and I have no intention of trying to make anything difficult for you. We are seeking answers to some very formidable puzzles, and until recently neither of us had any true knowledge of witches.” I take a deep breath and move to sit in one of the chairs facing Alma.

Scarlett looks at me with her arms folded across her chest. I know the look on her face. She wants me to go into farther detail and tell Alma about our peculiar wolves. I gently shake my head no at her. Although I do not think that Alma or her pack would intentionally do any harm to mine, but I am certainly not going to bet on it.

“Alma I vow to you that Caleb and I intend no harm to the witch. If anything, we would be asking for her help.” Alma releases another heavy sigh at my words.

“Daphne, I know that you do not intend to harm the woman, that was never a fear in my eyes. In truth until Jerome got sick, I was not sure how many of the old legends I believed. I mean we all have heard the tales of witches, and fairies but I had never seen any. Jerome is literally the other half of my soul though. Knowing that he was sick, drove me out of my mind.” I can see small tears gathering at the corners of her eyes. “I read every book I could get my hands on, sent messengers all over the place, and bartered heirlooms for any pertinent information that I could get my hands that could even potentially help him. I did some things that I am not proud of.” With her admission Alma bows her head.
