Chapter Forty-Four

Caleb’s Point of View

For Daphne’s sake I am trying my hardest to get along with her sister and Dorian. I ensured that she has enough money to treat her sister to some shopping and a nice lunch. Theo and I discussed having a guy day with Dorian, neither of us wants to but we are curious about him. Daphne and Scarlet have already left for the day. I find Theo and we go in search of Dorian.

We find Dorian in the kitchen harassing one of our Omega members.

“All I want is some damn lunch.” Dorian is yelling at Annie, who looks terrified.

“DORIAN” I used my commanding voice, knowing that he will pay attention. “No one here is a slave. My Omegas do not make me food unless they want to. Here we do things for ourselves. Annie I am sorry about the confusion this is Dorian, Daphne’s brother in law. I will handle it from here, you go ahead and run along. Tell your folks I said hello and look forward to seeing everyone at the mating ceremony.” Annie quickly runs out of the manor house via the kitchen door.

Finally, I turn my attention to Dorian. He is looking at me like I grew another head. As bad as I want to punch him in the nose for being a pompous ass, I love Daphne and I am going to try to make this work.

“Why don’t you have a seat Dorian, would pastrami sandwiches on rye work for you?” Even Theo is shocked that I am being this calm, I just hope that Daphne realizes how much I love her. Dorian thinks about it a moment, but eventually pulls out a chair around the island and sits down. I start getting ingredients out of the fridge and placing them on the counter.

“So, Dorian tell me about California, and the Cedar Wood pack. How are things going down there?” I find that most people let out small details when they start talking about themselves and I am very interested in Dorian.
