Chapter 58


    Book 2 Chapter 6


    Daphne’s Point of View


    It had been a few days since the encounter I had with Caleb in the kitchen. I know that pushing him


    away hurt him emotionally, but I am just not ready to be physical again with him. It is not that I do not


    desire him, his very touch sends. delicious tendrils of joy throughout my


    body. I am just fearful of getting pregnant again. As much as I have been trying to act like it has not


    bothered me, the truth is ringly obvious that I am still healing. Scarlett has suggested seeking a


    counselor, but I do not know if I am ready to open up to anyone about how I am


    truly feeling.


    It alles down to the fact that I feel


    like I am not only failing Caleb, but that I


    am failing my pack as well. I never really


    believed that I was Luna material. I was raised as a ve, and it even took me awhile to ept that I


    was Caleb’s fated mate. Compared to wolves like Scarlett, Hannah, or just about any other she wolf I


    find myself inferior.


    Evening to this pack there was so much about my own heritage that I did not know about. Hannah


    had to exin the mating ceremony to me. Theo had to teach me about our history. Knowing now how


    much I was deprived of as a pup


    makes me angry at my parents still, even though they have both passed.


    I believe that is one of the reasons why I


    have taken on my newest role of helping


    train the wolves in our pack that have


    peculiar talents. When ites to this, I


    do not feel like I am trailing behind,


    because no one truly knows how or why


    our pack has been affected like this. When


    ites to this subject, I am not inferior,


    if anything these past few weeks have almost made me more knowledgeable


    about us than even Theo can was able to


    discover.


    Sighing I sit back in the office chair at the training center. I havepletely taken over one of the older


    offices as my personal study. I have charts on the wall detailing each wolves’ talents, and what


    we have discovered about them for sure.


    On another wall I have a list of possible theories as to why members of our pack have been affected. I


    have organized


    Theo’s notes, and a few that Caleb took. I have my personal notebook that has a section for each wolf


    and what we


    aplish during training


    Tonight, I had prepared a few more samples to send off to the Universityb. One of the theories of our


    evolution is thend itself. This batch makes thest of the possible soil tests that can be run. So


    far, we have ruled out anything chemically, or biohazardous in the soil.


    Thisst batch of soil samples will be


    tested for higher than normal minerals


    and nutrients.


    Caleb has meetings with a few


    neighboring packsing up. I am hoping to get to speak with a few of the attending Luna’s to try to


    decipher if they have any wolves with peculiar talents among them. Caleb and Theo are


    determined that we are the only pack, but


    I do not see how that is possible. I am not


    even from this pack originally, and yet I


    have a peculiar talent.


    Deciding that there is nothing else I can


    do for the night I stand and stretch my sore muscle, as a whimperes from


    my wolf. I have not let her out to run


    since I lost the pup, and I know that she


    feels caged. ncing at the clock I can see that it is well past dinner time. Sorry girl I


    internally whisper, not going to be able to

    run tonight. I hurry and close up the training center before jogging home.


    Sneaking in the house, I head towards the kitchen. I decide to grab a quick bagel before heading up to


    bed. It only takes a few minutes to have the bagel toasted and smothered in cream cheese. I eat it


    while I tidy up the things I took out of the


    cupboards and nibble thest bit of it as I head up the stairs to bed.


    Stealthily slipping into the room I can see that Caleb is already slumbering. My


    heart aches a little as I watch the


    moonlight softly caress his skin. Subconsciously I recognize that I have been avoiding him. He does


    not deserve that kind of treatment from me. Perhaps Scarlett is right and I should speak to someone


    professionally. As I slip on my night clothes, I make a vow to call the


    pack doctor tomorrow and seek their


    opinions. I slip into bed beside Caleb and softly kiss his forehead. I love him more than words can


    express, and I know that he has kept his space for my benefit. I can feel the hurt through our bond


    though, and I do not want to be the cause of his


    pain. I try to clear my head and drift off to sleep, but I know that my mind is restless.
