Chapter Forty-Six
Caleb’s Point of View
Leaving Daphne this morning was so
difficult. I woke up earlier than usual so that I could watch her sleep a few more
moments. Today is the day that we will be
formally committed to each other, in front of our friends, pack members, and community. I have waited so long for this
day and I am so excited that it is here. I
know that Daphne thinks that I saved her, but in reality, she saved me. It is
because of her that the blackness inside
me, the anger, the rage has finally
subsided. I am more focused on my pack, on leading us, and protecting us. I will spend everyday that I can showing her how grateful I am to her.
I decided that tonight will be the night I tell her how I feel. How much I love
watching her sleep, hearing her voice,
and feeling her touch. I will tell her how
she saved me from being feral. I will tell her how much I get lost in her eyes, in the scent of her. How her laugh sounds like
bells at Christmas. I will tell her how I
have fallen helplessly in love with her. 4
As much as I do not want to, I ease myself off the bed. I have everything planned
today so that she can relax. I know how hard she has worked to prepare for today. Not just the event planning with the
catering and the dress, but with learning about the neighboring packs as well. With all the events of yesterday, I just want her to be at peace today.
I head out of the room, and into the den. It is so early that I doubt anyone else is up and about except for the patrolling guard. I ensure that I have everything I need for tonight, and then head downstairs. I am
in serious need of a cup of coffee.
To my surprise Theo is already in the
kitchen, nursing his own coffee cup. He
grunts hello to me as I wander in, and
gestures to the coffee pot still half full of
my favorite brew. I grab a cup and sit with
