The Alpha's Slave Mate novel Chapter 83

Caleb’s Point of View

I knew that the Moon Goddess had been smiling on me, because just as we took a break, I received word from our border patrol that the women were headed back to the pack house. Daphne is always able to settle the anger within in. She calms the beast when he roars out of control.

I waited rather impatiently by the front door until the vehicle she is in pulls up. I watch as her and the other women get out chattering excitedly about the pampering that they had just received. Just seeing my beautiful mate step from the car has a calming effect on me. As soon as she entered the door I reach out and grab her hand pulling her to me in a big hug.

She giggles a little as I wrap her even tighter into my body. “I missed you too baby.” She says into my chest.

“I just needed to feel you next to me for a few moments.” I say softly into her hair.

“Is the meeting not going well?” She asks me innocently.

“It is frustrating, but it is progressing. How was the spa?” I am genuinely curious if she enjoyed her time getting pampered.

“It was good. The massage therapist worked wonders on my back, and I think that everyone else had a good time as well. Overall, I think it was a good choice for the Lunas. We have the catering company until tomorrow afternoon so there should be lunch that has been prepared.” I am so proud of my mate. Not only because she has prepared everything beautifully, but also because she also thought of us males too.

“Thank you, my love, for everything you have done. I do not say this often enough, but you are an amazing Luna, and I am blessed that you are in my life.” My words ring of truth, and I am pleased to see a light blush spread upon her cheeks.

“Unfortunately, my love I do need to get back to negotiations soon. I am going to head to the kitchen and grab a quick sandwich. Please grab at least something to eat, even if it is light.” I remind her gently.

“I planned on it. Some of the ladies wanted to take a rest after we went to the spa. I asked the catering company to set up some tables in the courtyard, and I figured we could have a wonderful candlelit dinner out there. Then we have the summer end bash tomorrow night.” I was grateful that my Luna had thought of everything. With a quick peck we both walked to the kitchen. I watched as Daphne got caught up eating a few pieces of fruit and chatting with the girls. I quickly grab a premade sandwich, and an apple before heading back to the den.

It only took a few moments before the men were settled around the table. “Now that we have had a quick break hopefully everyone has been able to look over their treaties, and we can move forward with getting them signed.” Now that I knew that Daphne was back, I was hoping to get a few minutes of her time.

“Actually, I have an issue with mine.” Of course, Alpha Noah would find something to complain about.
