Chapter 62


    Book 2 Chapter 10


    Caleb’s Point of View


    After letting Theo know that I am leaving the packnds for a quick errand, I am pumped up as I climb


    in my Jeep. Everything that I have nned out for Daphne is going perfectly, and I hope this is enough


    to show my beloved mate that there is nothing in this world that I will not do to make her happy.


    Daphne’s scent to me has always had a tinge of dis,


    and I know the perfect ce for me to get


    her a beautiful boutique. I wave goodbye


    to the guards as I head into LaGrande.


    It is not very often that we must wander into humannds for things. Theo and I


    have built our pack up to be as self-


    sufficient as possible. We grow most of


    our own food and raise our own livestock.


    We also hunt and fish when we want or


    need to, never taking more from the Earth than we put back. So, I decide that I will take advantage of


    this time and roll down my windows and re the radio. I recall when I had brought Daphne to our


    home. That was the first time that she


    had ridden in a car or had control of the


    stereo. A smile graces my face as I recall


    the simple pleasure that she had gotten


    from the experience. I love showing her


    new things, and since she was extremely


    isted almost everything is new to her.


    LaGrande is a beautiful smaller town in


    Oregon. It is home to Eastern Oregon University, as well as many mom-and- pop stores that I prefer


    overrger corporations. I hold nothing against the big-name stores, but I have an old soul that prefers


    a much ore simple time. I am extremely grateful for the local college as they are the ones that have


    completed most of our soil samples. It is also extremely convenient for any members of


    my pack that wish to pursue a higher education, and I have even hosted


    members of allied packs that wish to pursue a degree. Knowledge is important and I strive to make


    every avenue


    avable to my pack members to pursue


    their passions.


    Today is not for soil samples or higher education, today is about Daphne and me.


    I cruise down the main road until I see the


    sign for the shop that I was looking for, Fitzgerald’s Flowers. It is a smaller shop, but they always have


    the best flowers, and they are one of the few shops that


    carries dis. I quickly park the Jeep


    and head into the shop.


    Being a werewolf means having an amazing sense of smell. Before I could


    even open the door to the shop, I was


    overwhelmed by the floral scent


    emanating from the shop. I had mentally


    prepared myself, but my nose was not


    cooperating, and I started sneezing. Once the sneezing had stopped, I finally made my way to the


    counter and was greeted by a very courteous worker. I exined to her that I was looking for fresh cut


    flowers, preferably a bouquet that had dis within it. She was very nice and exined that they did


    not have anything like that premade but that she would get started on the order immediately and


    only needed fifteen minuets to make it happen. I told her that I would happily


    wait for the order to be done.


    I hung outside the shop, listening to music in the Jeep while I waited for the order to bepleted.


    After fifteen


    minuets I reentered the store just as the worker was wrapping my order in cellophane. The worker had


    done a fantastic job. She expertly surrounded the dis with babies breath, lilies, and


    few other flowers that I did not know the


    names of. The dis were by far the

    show stopping center piece of the artistic


    boutique, and the worker did an amazing job with incorporating the various colors of orange, yellow,


    pink, and white. I made


    sure to tip her extra for the speedy service


    and artistic talent that went into them.


    Looking at the time I knew that I would


    be cutting it close to the time that I


    wanted to surprise Daphne. I decided to


    call Theo to see if he and Scarlett could


    help me out a little more. I asked him to


    grab the nket that I had on the sofa in


    my office, and the basket of food made up


    by Scarlett and meet me out front. He readily agreed. I could not stop therge smile that graced my


    face as everything was going ording to my n.


    As soon as my Jeep hit pack territory, I mind linked Theo to let him know that I


    was pulling up. He met me at the bottom of the front stairs. I hopped out of the Jeep and carefully


    retrieved the flowers


    from the passenger seat. Theo sped me


    on the shoulder for good luck as I gathered the nket and basket from


    him. Then I started happily trotting off to


    the training center to surprise my


    beautiful mate.


    My excitement grew as I entered the training area and quickly made my way to the office that my mate


    had essentially

    set up as another office for her training


    with the special wolves. To my utter surprise and dismay, I found that she was not there. Feeling a little


    confused I decided that she may not be done with training, so I decided to wait for her. After


    about ten minuets I was worried because


    it was supper time and I had not seen nor heard my mate. I decided to leave the flowers and pic


    supplies and search


    the training building for her.


    As I get closer to the indoor arena, I can


    hear grunts. I pick up my pace sure that I


    was about to find my mate. Once again disappointment blooms in my chest as I open the door and find


    that it is Brandon training with Orion. Both of them are special wolves but at the moment they seem to


    be focusing on hand-to-handbat. Brandon being older is


    instructing Orion in how to punch the


    weighted bag.


    “Great job with your training guys.” I quickly jog over to where the two are working, and they bow their


    heads in submission. “At ease guys I am simply


    looking for your lovely Luna. Have you guys seen hertely?” At this point I need a little help tracking


    her down.


    “No Alpha, the Luna did not have any


    training sessions nned today and we have not seen her. Have you tried calling her?” Brandon


    answered me quickly.


    “I have not called her yet, but now I will thanks guys. Please continue the good


    training, and Brandon great job taking the initiative with our younger warriors. I like to see that kind of


    gumption in my troops.” I felt bad for interrupting their training and wanted to ensure that they know that


    I appreciate their efforts. I love


    seeing my pack work together.


    After I leave the arena, I pull out my cell phone and try giving Daphne a call. Worry and disappointment


    flood through me when she does not answer. I try reaching out to her through our mind 1** k, but she is


    blockingmunication


    with me at the moment. With my head hung in disappointment I head back to her office and retrieve the


    pic supplies and the flowers. Feeling rather dejected I


    decide to head home. Worst case scenario.


    I guess I can try again tomorrow.
