Book 2 Chapter 10

Caleb’s Point of View

After letting Theo know that I am leaving the pack lands for a quick errand, I am pumped up as I climb in my Jeep. Everything that I have planned out for Daphne is going perfectly, and I hope this is enough to show my beloved mate that there is nothing in this world that I will not do to make her happy. Daphne’s scent to me has always had a tinge of gladiolas,

and I know the perfect place for me to get

her a beautiful boutique. I wave goodbye

to the guards as I head into LaGrande.

It is not very often that we must wander into human lands for things. Theo and I

have built our pack up to be as self-

sufficient as possible. We grow most of

our own food and raise our own livestock.

We also hunt and fish when we want or

need to, never taking more from the Earth than we put back. So, I decide that I will take advantage of this time and roll down my windows and blare the radio. I recall when I had brought Daphne to our

home. That was the first time that she

had ridden in a car or had control of the

stereo. A smile graces my face as I recall

the simple pleasure that she had gotten

from the experience. I love showing her

new things, and since she was extremely

isolated almost everything is new to her.

LaGrande is a beautiful smaller town in

Oregon. It is home to Eastern Oregon University, as well as many mom-and- pop stores that I prefer over larger corporations. I hold nothing against the big-name stores, but I have an old soul that prefers a much ore simple time. I am extremely grateful for the local college as they are the ones that have completed most of our soil samples. It is also extremely convenient for any members of
