The Alpha's Slave Mate novel Chapter 64

Book 2 Chapter 12

Caleb’s Point of View

Of all of the ways that today could have

turned out this was the one scenario that

I had never considered. How could she hit

me? I never seen my parents raise a hand

to each other. I have never been so upset with Daphne. To be honest I am barely

containing my anger right now. I had to

leave the house before I said or did

something that we would both end up

regretting.

Currently I am storming off towards the woods. I am hoping that a nice long run with my wolf will help clear my head. I cannot believe that amount of rage that is coursing through me right now. Not only did she strike me, but she thought that I would cheat on her. Daphne has that little trust in me. I know that she had a difficult

past, but I have never done anything that

would make her jump to that kind of

conclusion. I do not even look at other

women.

Finally entering the woods, I quickly strip down before shifting. I love allowing my wolf out, but tonight he is as angry and hurt as I am. Like a rocket I take off at breakneck speed, running towards my favorite spot in the world. I easily jump over fallen trees, and limbs in my path. with the single determination of finding some peace. I slow my speed as I leap over the last bit of rock in my way. Panting I finally come to a stop, and lap at the

water in the lake. It is a small lake that is fed through an underground spring that has a small waterfall.

My wolf paces lazily around the waters edge, until I come to the spot that I had brought Daphne. It seems like a lifetime ago that I brought her up here. She was

the only woman that has ever seen this

spot with me. It is where I came as a boy

after my parents passed to think, and

center myself. For some reason, this spot is calming and soothing to my soul, and exactly what I need right now. 1

After pacing for a moment, I lay down

staring at the waterfall. My mind briefly

transports back to when I brought

Daphne here. She was amazed by the

water and loved being here. I miss

hearing her laughter. My anger has

finally dissipated, and I whimper as the hurt finally settles into my soul.

Unable to stop myself I howl out in

frustration. I have done everything I can

think of to make Daphne both love and

trust me. I took her away from her abusive parents. I reunited her with her

sister. Hell, I even accepted her sister’s

pack as my own. There is literally nothing that I would not do for her, and yet she

still doubts me. I lay there for awhile longer, wallowing in my own self pity and
