Chapter Forty-Six

Caleb’s Point of View

Leaving Daphne this morning was so

I decided that tonight will be the night I tell her how I feel. How much I love

watching her sleep, hearing her voice,

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
