    Caleb’s Point of View


    While Daphne was in the bathroom getting ready for the day I decided to go to the kitchen and prepare


    her a


    breakfast. Today will be the first day that she has left our room since she found out that the baby was


    not viable. Even though she has taken some meals in our room, I do not feel that she has been eating

    enough and her weight loss is now visible. Staring around the kitchen at the cabs I wonder what I


    can cook that will guarantee that she will eat. 1


    While I am not a culinary expert, I have picked up a few things along the way. I hurry and begin pulling


    out bacon, sausage, eggs, and fruit. I have no idea what Daphne will want to eat so I decide to make a


    few things so that she may


    choose. I start the bacon and sausage first before whipping some eggs in a bowl. My eye catches the


    cupboard where we keep the starch ingredients and I pull out some English Muffins as well as some


    pancake mix. Too soon I am trying to keep up with all the burners I have going.


    All of a sudden, I hearughter behind. me, and it is the most melodious sound on this Earth. “What are


    youughing at mate?” I cannot stop myself from asking her in a teasing voice.


    “Caleb, are you feeding the entire pack this morning? This is way too much food for just you and I.”


    I turn and look at her sheepishly,


    knowing that I have been caught red


    handed in the act I decide to confess my intentions. “I was not sure what you


    would find pleasing this morning, so I


    made a little of everything. Pull up a seat


    it is almost done.” Even in her baggy clothing my mate takes my breath away.


    She is fierce and fragile all rolled into one.


    I try to refocus on the stove to find that


    the bacon has crisped a little more than I would have liked. I quickly turn


    everything off and pile a te high with


    food for her to choose from.


    Daphne thanks me as she takes the te. from my hands and starts picking at the crispy bacon. I grab


    a te of food and sit


    across from her at the bar.


    “I think I like the bacon better this way.” Daphne says to me as she takes another crunchy bite. I am


    sure that she is trying to make me feel better about crisping it. Either way I am just happy to see her


    eating. As we both dig into our tes, I begin to form a n in my mind. Daphne has been helping with


    training the wolves that we have found to have special


    abilities. Since Theo needs some time to cement his bond with his mate, now is the perfect time for


    Daphne to take on additional training. 2


    Hopefully, I will find a way to bring the subject up to her today. I think that she needs something that will


    pull her mind away from the lost babe. She excels at


    training, and she loves helping people so essentially, I will be killing two birds with one stone. By the


    time we are finished I am feeling pleased with my n. Sending a quick thank you to the Moon


    Goddess for the idea, I inform Daphne that it is time to go.


    The appointment goes better than I had expected. The doctor checked Daphne over both internally and


    externally and found no issues with her healing. I ensured to confirm that she could resume


    some of her duties. The doctor gave her


    the clearance to resume most of her duties but advised her not to engage in sparring, orbat for


    another week. I


    tried to find a moment to ask the doctor if


    there were any updates on if Daphne could carry pups in the future, but Daphne beat me to the punch.


    The doctor quickly mind linked me and asked if I had informed her. I quickly signaled that I had not.


    There was a deep sigh before she heard the news. “You suffered great abuse when you were younger


    that created a lot of scar tissue. I will have to continue to monitor you to see how you heal to make that


    determination; however, in my professional opinion I do believe that you will be able to have pups in the


    future. With your permission we can start the process of scraping the scar tissue away with in the


    month. Since we are of Lycan descent the healing will go quickly, and I


    doubt that there would be any additional


    problems. I do advise that you take


    precaution in the meantime to avoid


    pregnancy.”


    I had not realized that I was holding my breath until the doctor finished


    exining everything to us. Daphne could still have pups. I felt bad that my mate would have to


    undergo additional procedures to be able to carry pups, but I know now that it is important to her. I look


    at Daphne and its as if a massive


    weight has been lifted off her shoulders. She smiles and thanks the doctor, and then proceeds to


    schedule the follow up


    procedures.


    Walking back to our home I decide that now is the perfect time to implement my n from earlier.


    “Since the doctor has cleared you and said that you are doing well, I am hoping that you will help me


    with a problem.” Daphne looks at me questioningly and I take a deep breath before continuing. “As you


    are aware Theo and Scarlett need some time to cement their bond. They have both been through


    some traumatic experiences and I know that it has caused some strain on their rtionship. Theo is my


    best friend, not just my Beta and I want the best for him.” Daphne is nodding letting me know that she


    agrees with my statement. “Unfortunately, Theo has been the main trainer for our special wolves. My


    duties as Alpha has left me with very little time to assist. The only other person that


    knows our special wolves like Theo is you.” I nce at her to make sure that she is still following my


    now long- winded speech. “I want to give Theo more time with Scarlett, but I cannot sacrifice the


    additional training that our special wolves need. I know that you have worked closely with Theo on their


    training


    schedule, so I was wondering if you


    would take over their training for a few weeks to give Theo and Scarlett some time together?”


    Daphne seems to mull over this idea, and I worry that she is going to decline the offer. “I have been


    working with Theo on specialized training that focuses on honing their special abilities and trying to


    help them grow as warriors. I am not sure how good I will be at the job, but I do agree that Theo and


    Scarlett deserve some time to cement their rtionship.”


    I feel a pang of guilt course through my body, and I know that I need to bepletely truthful with my


    mate. “I also think it will be good for you to have something to focus on right now as well.” I grab her


    hand stopping her walking and pull her tightly to my chest. “I love you Daphne more than the air that I


    breath.


    There is nothing that I would not do to lessen your pain my mate.”


    I feel her sniffle against my chest, and I know that I have touched a cord in her heart. I simply hold her,


    soothingly


    rubbing my hands across her back. I will always try to protect and shield her from pain, but for now all I


    can do is hold her and let her know that I am here.


    Once she wipes the tears from her eyes we continue our trek home.
