Chapter Forty-Seven

Daphne’s Point of View

Scarlet gives me one more big hug. I know that once the doors open to the house,

and I will walk down the steps, turn left and meet Caleb in the rose garden. My

anxiety has me worried that I am going to

fall on my face even getting down the

steps. I take deep breaths trying to calm. my nerves. Everything is going to be fine; Caleb is here. Scarlet steps forward, but

before she can open the door I reach out

and stop her.

“Scarlet, I’m scared.” My anxiety is full force now. My heart is beating a million miles a second, and I am pretty sure that I am going to drop dead right here. Scarlet

turns back and faces me with a smile.

“Daphne, you are the strongest woman I

know, and you are going to be a great Luna. You have been mated with a good

man, a strong man that I think loves you.” She smiles at me reassuringly and I must admit her pep talk helped. My heartbeat is slowing a little. She is right, everything is going to be fine.

The doors are open, and I feel a light autumn breeze flow in. This is it, the moment that everyone is waiting for. I am shaking a little as I begin descending the steps. There are so many people here that some of them are milling about the

circular drive in front of the door.

Everyone turns their head though when I make my way out of the house. I carefully

walk behind Scarlet, slowly down the

steps. I turn the corner, and immediately

see Caleb.

Caleb is so handsome in his tuxedo.

Scarlet was right, everyone else melts

away and all I am focused on is Caleb. He stands proud with his hair pulled back,

and his chest out. The button-down shirt

looks like it is straining against his muscles, and I cannot deny the very sight

of him brings a familiar ache to my womanhood. His eyes are locked with mine, and I can tell that he can feel the tension rising between us. I walk forward, intent on making this man mine and mine alone. He is my destiny, my mate.

The elder stands before us, performing the binding ceremony. Suddenly there is a long howl that echoes through the trees. Caleb stills beside me, and I believe he is using the mind link he shares with his warriors to gather information on the disruption. With out warning I see Dorian break through the tree line, behind Caleb. What shocks me the man standing next to him is my father. 7

“What the hell is the meaning of this.
