Caleb’s Point of View
The next morning Daphne is out of our bed before the sun rises. This has been a
habit of hers lately and it is beyond
frustrating. I miss holding my mate in my arms. Just thinking of her toned body pressed against my
skin, has my member jumping to life. Growling in frustration, I decide to hop in the shower hoping that
the water will cool the slow burning of my
blood.
Basking in the warmth of the water I recall the vivid dream that I was having of Daphne that led to me
waking up craving her body. In the dream we were back in
the kitchen except this time she did not stop me, instead she purred into my ear, as she nipped at my
neck. I had pushed
Ir shirt over her head and took my time
teasing her perky nipples through her
bra, while slightly rocking my hips against hers allowing her to feel the full length of my erection against
her
sensitive nub. She had bite my neck and
was happily rubbing herself against meas well.
Thinking about the dream has me harder than I have been in a while. I casually
move my hand down to my cock and begin stroking it while closing my eyes and continue thinking
about the dream. I had stepped back from Daphne and slightly lifted her ass to pull her pants down.
There was my beautiful mate, slightly blushing laid out on the counter as if she were a buffet. With a
slight growl I laid her slightly backwards, as I bent over and begin feasting upon her creamy smooth
thighs, before licking her already moist mound. I love the way my mate tastes. I can hear her purring
with
satisfaction as my tongue flicks over her
clitoris, and she opens her legs wider for me. In the dream I begin plunging my
tongue around her sensitive crevice, while her hands grip my hair pulling me closer into her, while in
reality hearing the pleasure of her dream moans has me
sliding my hand along my cock faster. As Daphne found her release in my dream, I
happily licked it up, while I found my
release against the tile in the shower.
I let the warm water continue to pour over me, refusing to open my eyes and face my current reality.
The dream was better than my current situation, but with a frustrated growl I finally open my eyes and
finish my shower. As I step out and dry off, I am resolved that I will speak with Daphne today about the
issues I am having.
It is not about sex, although I can notdeny the dream was a relief. The facts are that I miss spending time with my mate, and I feel like our
bond is suffering because of it. I pull out my phone and set an alarm to go off before dinner time. Theo
helped me devise a plan of packing a picnic style dinner and asking Daphne to go with me. I wanted to
ensure that I was early enough that she would not have already of eaten. I send a quick text to Scarlett
asking if the food was set, and she replied yes. I thanked her profusely and then got ready to head out
to training.
Perhaps some training with my elite squad will help ease some of this
madness I feel coursing through me. Once I reach the training grounds Theo
welcomes me with a we need to talk look. Once we get the squad warmed up, we team them off for
hand-to-hand combat, that will move into them going through scenarios that will cause them to use
both
their human and wolf forms.
“Ok lay it on my straight, what is on your mind?” I waste no time as Theo, and I begin to spar.
“I received a call this morning from Alpha Noah, he is upset that he was not invited to the meeting that
you are having here next week.” I grunt as Theo lands a jab to my rib cage.
“Great just what I needed right now.” I know that my reply is sarcastic.
“He has held up his end of the deal when he took over the pack. From what I can understand they no
longer have any slaves, and the reports I am getting are positive.” Theo says as I quickly sweep his
feet effectively putting him on his buttocks.
“That is good news but having him here is another reminder to Daphne of herpast. I am not sure that it would be the best situation for her.” I quickly get to the root of the issue that I
have with Alpha
Noah. Noah was originally the Beta of his
pack; Alpha Jason had been Daphne’s
father. With his death we had decided as a
pack to allow Noah to take over as Alpha. Although the reports say that he is leading his pack fairly, I
know that at one
time he had hurt my mate. The situation to this day does not sit well with me.
Are you still planning on having dinner with her tonight?”
“Yes, Scarlett has been a considerable
help with the food. I have already set an alarm on my phone so that I get to her a little before dinner
time.” My stomach drops as I realize where Theo was heading with his questioning.
“Then perhaps this is another subject
that you need to approach with her.
Daphne is stronger than you think, and
maybe she will not have a problem with
it.” I know that Theo’s assessment of the
situation is probably the best, but Iwanted tonight to be more about me and
her as a couple. This is more along the
lines of Alpha and pack business.
“This is all assuming that she will even agree to have dinner with me tonight.” I did not mean to let the
words slip, but they tumbled out before I could stop them. Theo completely stopped in the middle of us
sparring and glared at me.
“Enough of the pity party, you are the freaking Alpha of this pack. Daphne is YOUR mate. That means
you both are fated to be together. She will definitely have dinner with you.” It is not very often that Theo
talks to me like this. In truth I needed the confidence booster. Although
Daphne is my fated mate, our
relationship has not been easy.
Our conversation gets cut short as we move into the next training phase which involves shifting quickly
between our
wolves and human forms. I know that my warriors are well trained, but it is
important to have them run through different training scenarios as often a s possible. I want them to be
ready for anything that life can throw at them.
My warriors are one of my biggest accomplishments as an Alpha. Every member of my pack starts
training when they are younger. I felt that it was important for everyone to have at least basic combat
knowledge in case of arogue attack, or if there is a pack war. Theo and I have worked tirelessly to develop multistage training
courses for our pack. We train them to fight in both their human and wolf forms.
Our newest addition to the training has been escape and evade training. Scarlett helped with some of
the scenarios, and
our pack practices different events. We
even have a few old cars to use with
scenario training in case of a kidnapping
case.
It is probable that I am overly cautious. Both Theo and I lost our parents to unforeseen attacks, so I try
to be ready for anything. It is true that I have a few packs that I consider allies, but I have also made a
few enemies along the way. I do not like Alpha’s that own slaves or hurt and abuse their pack
members. I also try diplomacy first, and when that does not work, I tend to come off as harsh and
angry.
Theo blowing his whistle catapults me out of my own thoughts. This training session has ended, and I
feel a small pang of guilt because I did not monitor them,
and I was pretty distracted during the last half of training. I tell a few of the warriors that they did a great
job as we are walking off the training grounds.
Training did help ease some of the frustration I was feeling earlier. Now I am getting more excited
about having time with Daphne tonight. I send Theo a quick text letting him know that I am going to
head into town and pick up some flowers. There are no pressing issues at the moment that require my
presence and Iwould like tonight to be special. It has
been some time since I got Daphne
flowers, and I know that she enjoys them. Finally donning a smile, I am confident that tonight will go
well.
