The Alpha's Slave Mate

Book 2 Chapter 11

Chapter Eleven:

Daphne’s Point of View

After speaking with Dr. Hollis, I started to

formulate a plan to surprise Caleb. It has

been a long time since I joined Caleb for dinner, and even longer since I have

cooked for him. Caleb once remarked that

he loved my cooking. I ran down to the

kitchen to start looking to see what supplies we had available while I was

thinking about my plan.

Taking a quick inventory of what I had

available I decided to make Caleb chicken

enchiladas with red sauce, Spanish rice, and cornbread cake. I carefully begin to season the chicken and make the dough for the tortillas. Cooking was the one chore that I never minded doing. I love the scents of the various spices, and there

is an enjoyment in watching people enjoy the food that I make. Once the chicken is

done I add a few more seasonings before letting it cool so that I can shred it. 1

I start to get nervous as dinner time approaches. I have not seen Caleb yet,

and I wonder if he is in his office. As I am

putting the cornbread cake in the oven, I

windows. I see Caleb climb out of the car, and he talks with Theo before grabbing what appears to be a basket and a blanket from Theo. When Caleb starts walking

away from the house my heart sinks,
