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.
As the sun begins to streak through the windows, I mentally steel myself to ask
Scarlett for her advice on this issue.
Worried that I may miss her before she leaves for the children’s center, I finally
decide that it is time to sneak out of bed. I
try my hardest not to wake up Caleb, he
deserves to rest after all the trouble I
caused him yesterday. I am successful in
sneaking away. I quickly don a pair of shorts and a shirt before slipping quietly out of the bedroom.
Once I am out of the bedroom, I run downstairs hoping that I can catch Scarlett before she leaves. Rounding the corner to the
kitchen I can see that she is just getting another cup of coffee.
“Well look who is up and running around. It is good to see you, I feel like I hardly get to see you now a days.” Scarlett carefully
leans against the cupboards,
“Well, you have been busy with your work at the children’s center. How is that going by the way?” I know that I need to ask for
her advice, but I need to ease into it.
“Oh, I just love it. The kids are all so nice and seeing their cute little faces every morning perks me right up. I was
thinking about talking to Theo about
possibly have a pup.” Wow I was not expecting that bomb to come rushing out of Scarlett. She immediately gets a horrified
expression as she realizes what she just blurted out. “Daphne I am so sorry; I mean I did not mean to say that with everything
that you have been going through.”

I immediately reassure her. “Scarlett it is fine, I am so happy for you. You are going to be an amazing mother someday. Theo is
so lucky that you are his mate, and I think he is going to be a great father.” I

rush to tell her.
For a moment there is an awkward silence that surrounds us. “Speaking of which, how are you holding up kid?” I feel like I
should be a little mad that she
just called her Luna kid, but she is my sister. I know that she would never mean

any malice behind it.
“I think I am getting better slowly.” I admit to her. “I took your advice and called the pack center. I have a doctor that I talk to now
her name is Dr. Hollis. I think she can really help. Plus, I have been busy training more.” I pause not really sure how to jump into
the topic that I truly need to discuss with her. “I am hoping to get your advice again.” I decide not to beat around the bush and
instead to jump right in.
“Well tell me what is going on and I will see if I can help.” Scarlett shoots me a
warm smile. I dive right in and explain everything to Scarlett. I tell her about the dinner, and how I seen Caleb come home.
I even told her about seeing her and Theo leaving for the movies. Then I got to the most embarrassing part, and I even admitting
to striking Caleb.
“Holy crap Daphne, you actually hit him, and he just walked away? Are you
freaking insane?”
“Wait there is more Scarlett.” Then I
finish by telling her about my
assumptions and accusing him of
cheating on me.

“Oh, wow Daphne, you have really made a mess of things this time. You are lucky that he did not strike you back. I have never
heard of anyone hitting an Alpha and not landing on their ass. You have some serious making up to do.” Scarlett’s voice is firm
but affectionate.
“I know and I feel horrible. I have no idea how to even start making up for this.” By now there are tears rolling down my cheeks,
but I ignore them.
“Look Daphne you wounded his pride, and to be honest he is probably more hurt than angry. You need to talk to him and try to
apologize. I do not know how to say this the nice way, so I am just going to say it. You need to learn to trust him too. You
two have not had an easy start to your relationship. Maybe you can suggest that you take a few days and go away. It worked
wonders for Theo and I.” Scarlett
wipes my face and gives me a hug. I know that she needs to get to work.
Alone again with my thoughts I mull over
Scarlett’s suggestion. Caleb and I could
use some time away. I am sure that Theo
could hold things down while we are
away. I resolve to discuss this with Caleb
at the first opportunity.
