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.

kitchen, nursing his own coffee cup. He
