Chapter 40Chapter 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 thatI 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 insweat. 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 Iam 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 Iam 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 l 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 Iam here. My wolf
is ready to go kill her father and Iam 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 l 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.I 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, andI 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 Iam 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.
