The Alpha's Slave Mate

Book 2 Chapter 13

Daphne’s Point of View

As usual I woke up prior to Caleb. Unlike

every morning though today I do not want to escape my bed. I feel no need to run away if anything I long to scoot closer to Caleb. He did not come back home until late last night. I pretended that I was already asleep when he came in. I know that it was utterly cowardly of me to pretend, but I had no idea what words.

could start the healing to the emotional wounds that I had inflicted upon him yesterday.

Caleb was right when he said that he has never given me a reason not to trust him. He has never hurt me, if anything he has only improved my life in every single way. From the very first day he came into my life he has fought for me. He has told

me every day that I am beyond beautiful. He gave me a real home, and a real

family. He reunited me with Scarlett, something that I had never thought possible.

Even when we found out that I am not necessarily normal he never made me feel like I was a freak. In fact, in some ways, he made me feel like I was even more special to him. He celebrated the fact that I was different and loved when I started to learn to control my gift more. Every small accomplishment that I make he always makes me feel as if it is a huge deal.

Even when we lost the pup, he was constantly trying to do what he thought was best for me. He gave me space when I needed it. He tried to ensure that I ate, or that I would sleep. When that did not work, he even got me more involved with

training our particular wolves as well.

Instead of thanking him for being

wonderful, I accused him of seeking comfort in the arms of another woman. The shame I feel courses through my

body like slow ebbing waves in the ocean, and I have no idea how to start to make amends. I consider calling Dr. Hollis, but I do not feel as if she knows me or Caleb well enough to give sound advice. I could talk to Theo but just thinking about

admitting to him that I accused his Alpha and best friend of being unfaithful makes me blush in embarrassment. Hannah is too young and inexperienced for me to go to her with this issue. Scarlett may be able to help me with this issue, and even though I am embarrassed to tell her the story I can deal with the embarrassment if it means that she may have some advice on how to fix this.
