The Alpha's Slave Mate novel Chapter 59

Daphne’s Point of View

It had been a few days since the encounter I had with Caleb in the kitchen. I know that pushing him away hurt him emotionally, but I am just not ready to be physical again with him. It is not that I do not desire him, his very touch sends delicious tendrils of joy throughout my body. I am just fearful of getting pregnant again. As much as I have been trying to act like it has not bothered me, the truth is glaringly obvious that I am still healing. Scarlett has suggested seeking a counselor, but I do not know if I am ready to open up to anyone about how I am truly feeling.

It all comes down to the fact that I feel like I am not only failing Caleb, but that I am failing my pack as well. I never really believed that I was Luna material. I was raised as a slave, and it even took me awhile to accept that I was Caleb’s fated mate. Compared to wolves like Scarlett, Hannah, or just about any other she wolf I find myself inferior.

Even coming to this pack there was so much about my own heritage that I did not know about. Hannah had to explain the mating ceremony to me. Theo had to teach me about our history. Knowing now how much I was deprived of as a pup makes me angry at my parents still, even though they have both passed.

I believe that is one of the reasons why I have taken on my newest role of helping train the wolves in our pack that have peculiar talents. When it comes to this, I do not feel like I am trailing behind, because no one truly knows how or why our pack has been affected like this. When it comes to this subject, I am not inferior, if anything these past few weeks have almost made me more knowledgeable about us than even Theo can was able to discover.
