The Alpha's Slave Mate
Chapter 48
Chapter Forty-Eight
Caleb’s Point of View
Today has not gone the way that I had planned. I had planned so carefully, down to the flower arrangements. I thought
that I had every base covered, surely nothing could go wrong. I had been arrogant, cocky enough to believe that no one would try to attack. My pack was known to be fearless, and it was no secret that my allies would be in attendance of my mating ceremony. I had pulled my guards in so that they could witness the ceremony, and in doing so I left my people vulnerable. I did this, in my own arrogance I created the war zone that was
before me.
I can only stare in horror at the woman who saved my life. I underestimated Dorian. I was already tired from fighting
Alpha Jason when Dorian had surprised me from behind. He was quicker than I imagined he would be. He was also a
better fighter than I ever would have
given him credit for. Scarlet saved my life, but in doing so she lost her destined mate. I can only imagine what is going through her head, knowing that she was
the one that took his life.
“Mine.” Theo’s words snap my attention
directly to him. I turn to see him staring
at Scarlet, tears in his eyes. His eyes are boring into Scarlet, and I can see that his body is fighting a war with itself. 10
“Theo” I try to draw his attention away,
but it can not be deterred from Scarlet. I
know that he does not believe in second

trying to break free from my grasp. My
attention finally falls on her and I realize

Daphne runs over and wraps Scarlet in her arms. Pulling her back into her chest and rocking her on the ground as if she were a child. I knew that today would
changer our lives, but I could have never of predicted that it would be this way. For once I do not know what to do, what to say, or even how to begin processing everything. 2
“Caleb, I need to go. Something is not right with me; I think I am headed to the infirmary.” Theo’s voice pulls me out of my self-loathing and snaps me back into reality. I look Theo over, looking for any signs of trauma, other than the
superficial bruises and cuts that have
appeared. I can find nothing that would
warrant a trip to the infirmary.
“Theo what is going on, I do not see
anything.” I do not normally question Theo, but on this occasion I must.
“No, there is something not right with my head. I am imagining things.” Theo’s voice is shaky, and I notice that he is still
staring at Scarlet. Since we are in such
