The Alpha's Slave Mate

Chapter 23

Chapter Twenty-Three

 

Caleb’s Point of View

 

Although I did not want to stop kissing Daphne, I was appreciative that Theo reminded us that we were in the middle of a large social gathering. Daphne’s boldness when I told her that I wanted to kiss her was a pleasant surprise. I tried to be gentle, but the moment I touched her lips an inferno erupted in my core. Everyone melted away and it was if Daphne and I were on our own private island. Her lips tasted of honey, sweet delectable and they were so soft. I tried to be gentle kissing her, I knew it was probably her first kiss. The moment she moaned in my mouth though I was lost. I could not help slipping my tongue into her mouth to explore her farther. Her tongue dancing with mine was pure ecstasy. '

 

“So, has she accepted that you two are mates now?” Theo’s question snaps me back into reality.

 

“I think that she is considering the possibility of it. Her life has changed so much in less than twenty-four hours, I think she is just trying to adjust to it all. We got caught up in the dancing and music and I could not help but kiss her. I know that she feels a pull towards me though, and she may not want to admit it yet but she has a possessive streak in her.” Theo raises an eyebrow at my words questioning how I came into this knowledge.

 

As Iam retelling the incident that occurred in the room before the ball, we hear a commotion from the other side of the room. Theo and 1 both start walking that way because Daphne and Hannah had walked that way to use the powder room. Drawing closer I can see Hannah with her hands on her hips looking like a raging bull with a bright shiny target in front of her. A small crowd has gathered around them, and I can only see Daphne's back. I quicken my pace when I see that her head is bowed, and my anger is already starting to flare out. '

 

Quickly trying to analyze the scene, I see Luna Amanda standing in front of Daphne practically screaming in her face. There is another woman with Amanda that seems to be encouraging the foul words falling from the Luna’s mouth. Theo reaches for my arm, but no one will stop me from protecting my mate.

 

forward I touch Daphne’s back to let her know that it is me, before pulling her slight behind me. I confront the Luna directly asking her why she is harassing my mate. I know

for his wife’s behavior. His words mean nothing to me, I still want to kill most of the people in this room for the hell that they put Daphne through growing up. Standing tall I make it known to everyone that Daphne is mine. I will protect her life with my own, and that I will not tolerate any disrespect towards her. Jason is trying to pull Amanda away, but she struggles a little. I think she is still in shock that her husband did not side with her. Perhaps she does not understand that my pack could easily destroy her entire pack, and if I give the order they would
