Chapter Forty

Caleb's Point of View

I snuggled with Daphne and felt her drift off in sleep. I know that she was stressed out. I felt bad for

making her worry about her sister, but there was a lot of truth to her words. In a lot of ways, I do

treat her like a child, not meaning to. I must learn to treat her as an equal. In the morning I know

thatl need to be honest with her. There are a lot of things I have kept from her, thinking that I was

doing the right thing. I need to let her know about the peculiar talents that some of our pack

members possess. I need to start showing her the different trades that we are involved with, the

storage yards, the winter preparations, and the training schedules.

I look down at my mate, I know that she is strong. I know that she went through traumatic events

that have shaped her into the woman she is today. I just hope that she is strong enough to handle

everything that is coming. I hope that she knows how proud I am of her. With that thought I kiss the

top of her head and snuggle in closer to her. Soon sleep pulls me into its arms.

I wake up before Daphne, all my senses on alert. I do not know yet what has pulled me from sleep,

but I know that something is different. I mind link my patrolling guards asking if there is any activity,

but I am told that everything is fine. I immediately turn my attention to Daphne; her forehead is

beaded in sweat. Her face is pale, but she is still asleep. Her body starts trembling and I know that

she is caught in a nightmare. I gently start shaking her to wake her up.

“Baby come on wake up, it is just a dream.” Finally, her eyes flutter open and she seems to be

gasping for air. “ Honey it is ok, you were just having a nightmare. You are home, you are safe, and

lam here.” ! pull her close to me, laying her head on my chest! start rubbing her back. Trying to give

her some comfort. I feel her tears slide down my abdomen. “Do you want to talk about it Daphne? It

might help you feel better about it.” I will not make her open up about the nightmare if she does

not want to, but I want her to know that lam here to listen if she needs me.

“I was having a dream about the first time I shifted. My father had gotten so mad at me, Scarlet had

already moved away finding her mate. He was ina rage, he broke my ribs, had strangled me, ripped

some of my hair out. I remember wanting to die, begging the Moon Goddess to just take me away

from it all. I refused to cry out though, and I think I just made him even more angry. He had kicked

me in the face, breaking my nose.” Daphne's voice is almost monotone as she recounts the horrific

situation, she had been in. “I crawled on my belly using my hands to pull me, because I knew that he

would kill me if I got blood on the carpet. I finally made it outside and I was determined to die in

the woods. I felt safe there. It was only a half moon that night. I remember that I did not know what

was happening to me when I started shifting. It hurt a lot, ] was sure that I was dying. I thought of

Scarlet, and how I never got to tell her thank you.” Daphne is barely whispering now.

Hearing about the hell that she had endured breaks my heart. My mate is more powerful that she

realizes, and I am starting to realize that she can handle more than I ever gave her credit for.

“Then it was done, I remember the first time my wolf talked to me. She told me that she would help

me heal. She told me that we were strong. I did not believe her then, I still just wanted to die. My

wolf was determined though, and she was right we did live. She did make me stronger.” Daphne is

quickly drifting back off to sleep. I have continued rubbing her back, just letting her know that lam

here. My wolf is ready to go kill her father and lam to stomp him back down. Right now, it is more

important to hold her, to let her know that she is not alone. In this moment I know that I have fallen

in love with her."

Holding her tight we both doze off. I am awakened again when my phone starts ringing. I grab it off

the side table, glancing down I can see that it is Theo. “ Hey what is going on?”

"We have reached Portland; we will be home in roughly three hours. I wanted to give you our

timeline.” Theo sounds tired on the phone; I know that this trip has taken a toll on him mentally.

“I will have everything prepared for your arrival. Theo be safe, and perhaps consider a vacation

soon.” I Know that Theo will never take me up on the offer.

He is too dedicated to the pack, and his work. I put the phone back on the table and turn to stare at

my sleeping mate. She is so beautiful. A wicked thought crosses my mind on how to wake her up. *

My mate had only worn her robe to bed last night. I carefully slide down the bed, trying hard not to

wake her just yet. It is warm under the covers, but I am determined to wake Daphne with a smile on

her face. I carefully slide her legs apart gently, and start kissing her hip bones. I love the way my

mate is shaped. I trail kisses over the lower part of her abdomen, trailing from one hip to the other.

Daphne starts to wake up and I know that I need to act now before she starts moving. I position

myself between her legs, and start lapping at her rose bud. She is awake now and pulling the covers

off my head. She goes to move her leg, but I grasp her around her hips keeping her in place.

She moans my name, and I increase the strokes of my tongue on her enjoying how wet she is

getting my face. I love feeling her arousal, the special scent that only belongs to my mate. She

tangles her hand in my hair, encouraging me to press my face into her slick folds harder. Too soon

she arches her back and releases her sweet juices into my mouth. I am greedy as I lick them up.

Once I am satisfied, I climb on top of her kissing my way up her body.

"Hmmm good morning love.” I cannot help but tease her as I lean down to kiss her lips. Her cheeks

are stained pink, but I know that she enjoyed waking up this morning. Daphne slips her tongue in

my mouth as! am kissing her, and I love her boldness. It is hard to imagine that my mate was once a

slave. I roll off her and lay beside her on my back.

“My turn.” Daphne surprises me by getting on her knees and straddling me. She bends down and

kisses me passionately.

“Baby I am happy just to wake you up smiling.” I do not want her to feel like she always has to

reciprocate when I give her pleasure. I love pleasing her, knowing that she is mine.

"Who said I was doing this for you?” My mate has a mischievous smile on, and ] can only imagine

what she has rolling around in her brain. I was already hard from licking and tasting her, but as she

grinds her wet folds over me, I feel myself grow harder still. reach up and start teasing her nipples, I

love seeing the little pink buds roll through my fingertips. Daphne moans out loud, and I sit up to

capture the bud in my mouth. My mate is amazingly beautiful.

Looking past her, I have a great idea. ' I wrap one arm around her waist and move us to the side of

the bed. Daphne looks at me confused at my sudden change in movement. I pick her up and turn

her so that her back is to my chest.

On our far wall is a wardrobe, with a large mirror. “Daphne, I want you to be able to see how

beautiful you are. How you affect me and bring me pleasure.

You can watch everything you are doing from the mirror.” I position myself so that my feet are over

the bed, giving her the perfect view of us. : Daphne seems a little shocked, but she does not tear her

eyes away from the mirror. I take one hand and start playing with her nipples, showing her how

exciting it is for her to watch her own pleasure. I then take my other hand and start rubbing her

clitoris. This seems to spur her into action. She raises her hips up a little which gives me a perfect

view of her ass. I help her get a little more comfortable in a modified form of reverse cowgirl. I lean

back a little which gives her better access to my cock.

Daphne is still watching herself in the mirror as she begins stroking me. I cannot stop some of the

precum that has escaped my body, she just feels too good. She lifts her hips and starts using the

head of my dick to tease herself.

Finally, she starts to slide down my cock slowly, taking me in an inch ata time. She is so wet, and so

tight. I cannot take the slow torture anymore, and I thrust my hips up, burying myself deep inside of

her, feeling my balls slap against her. I grab her hips and stop her from pulling up and gyrate

slowing in a circle feeling her juices coat my cock. +

“Caleb please” Daphne's voice is husky, and I can tell that she is close to orgasming again.

"Yes, baby tell me what you want.” I love when she talks during sex.

“I want to cum please.” Her voice is raspy, begging me. Using her hips, I keep my cock buried deep

inside her but move her hips in a back and forth motion. She tightens around my cock and I know

she is ready to release.

"Open your eyes Daphne, see yourself baby. You are so beautiful.” I command her to watch her own

orgasm. I quickly release one hip and use my finger to play with her clit, remaining deep inside her

the whole time. Her orgasm rips through her body, her slicks folds gripping my dick hard. It is hard

not to spill my seed right there. Once her body has stopped shaking, I pick her up off me, and

gently move her.

I gently position her on the bed, laying on her stomach, I grab her ankles and pull her down to

where her feet are on the floor, her perfect round ass is up in the air, andl can see that her legs are

still shaking slightly. I am pleased to see some of her juices are running down her thighs. I deliver a

slight smack to her ass, enjoying seeing the light red marks of my fingertips. My cock is straining

hard, I cannot wait to bury myself deep within her.

I move her legs farther apart loving seeing my gorgeous mate fully open to me. Bending at the knee

slightly, I position my cock at her slick folds.

With one big thrust I am deep within her, she moans at feeling me. I love feeling my balls slap

against her when I thrust. Her tight folds have me lost, I start thrusting into her slowly, pulling out

till just the head of my cock is in her and then slamming every inch in. I can feel her tightening up

again and I know that she will find yet another orgasm at my hands. I start thrusting a little faster,

then I surprise her as] fully pull out. I quickly flip her over so that she is on her back. I lift her legs

high and place them on my shoulders. Her ass is hanging off the bed slightly and she is shocked by

my movements,

I slide my cock back into her, and her eyes go wide. With this position I know that lam deeper in her

than I have ever been. I shift my hand and grip her ass, pulling her closer to me. I start sliding in and

out of her slowly at first, letting her body get accommodated to my size.

As I feel some of our combined fluids on her ass I slide my fingers in it as lubrication. I slide my

hand on her butt closer to her crack and I can see her eyes get wider. I slip on of my digits into her

back door. She does not stop me, and I start thrusting into her faster. I feel her pussy clench and I

know that she is about to orgasm. It pushes me over the edge and with a load moan I spill my seed

deep in her. I move my hand and pull away from her, we areboth spent.

“I would love nothing more than to climb back in bed with you and sleep the day away, but we

need to get showered and get ready.”

"Ugh we can sleep a little longer right?” Daphne gives me a pouting look. Ican tell that between the

nightmare, and our activities that she is tired.

Unfortunately, I cannot give her what she wants.

"Nope sweetheart we need to shower and get ready. Your sister is on her way here.” Daphne lets out

a squeal at my words.

"Why did you not tell me that first.” Daphne bounds off the bed in her excitement. I try to stop

myself from chuckling at her, but I cannot help it.

“It is not funny Caleb; she cannot see me like this.”

“Daphne calmed down they are still three hours away.” That finally stops her frantic searching for

clothes. She shoots me a scowl as she starts walking into the bathroom. I can not help but swat her

ass before she can make it all the way in. I am grabbing my clothes as I hear her turn on the shower.

Today is going to be a busy day.
