The Alpha's Slave Mate

Chapter 26

Chapter Twenty-Six

Caleb’s Point of View

Hearing Daphne still question whether we were mates made me want to prove i t to her in all the wrong ways. I never intended for things to go so far, but I was lost the moment that she pressed herself up against me. I tried to be gentle, kissing her softly, trying not to rush the moment. I could smell her excitement. I felt her breath quicken, and I could feel her nipples harden into pebbles against my chest. I gave her an opportunity to stop when I flipped her on top of me. To my surprise my actions made her bolder and she ground her sweet delicate folds against me. My wolf howled in pleasure at her moans, pleased with her excitement, and wetness. Daphne had only been wearing panties, and a tee-shirt so I could feel how wet her flower was through my basketball shorts. Seeing the ache on her face, knowing that she needed to find release I did the only thing I could think of that would tip her over the edge without making her hate me. ©

The truth is I wanted to strip my mate of her clothes and remove my shorts and complete the mating. I wanted to drive deep within her, sealing the pack between us. A more rational part of my brain realized that I could not do that to her. Although she may want it in this moment, she could come to regret it later. I never want her to regret being with me, nor do I want our first time joining together to be a rushed frenzy because our emotions were out of control. So instead I packed my desire away and focused on only pleasuring her.

Kissing down her body was a sweet torment, touching her bare skin feeling every flutter. Then when I finally tasted her most precious spot, I was a goner. I loved licking her, tasting her pleasure fully on my tongue. My mate tasted sweet, her flower opened to me and I took advantage of every fold. Sucking gently on her pretty pink pearl, while she moaned and withered against my mouth. I do not think she even realized that she pressed her body even more into me. When I knew she was close to reaching her pinnacle of pleasure, I slipped a finger into her tight canal and found her g spot. Then I licked her creamy pleasure from her, enjoying every drop. °

As I held her after she came, I quickly learned that my mate did not have any knowledge of the carnal pleasures shared between mates. I was slightly embarrassed when I had to explain to her what she had just experienced. What made it worse is the entire time l am attempting to explain it to her I was trying very hard to hide how excited I still was. I swelled with pride as she tried to explain how she was feeling. I like knowing that I can give her that immense pleasure, it is an ego boost. ° Too soon I realized that we needed to get cleaned up. I want to get Daphne home, to a real home and away from this nightmare that she lived in for too long. I let her know that I will get Hannah to come and help her pack up her things. My pride swelled again when I seen that Daphne was still a little wobbly on her legs.

Once my mate is in the bathroom, I let out a frustrated sigh. Although I knew that Daphne was a slave, Iam quickly learning that she was sheltered. This sparks another bout of anger in me against her parents. I do not understand how they could allow her to grow up without explaining the birds and the bees. Thinking of her parents I realize that I need to get ready to meet with her father. He has a lot to answer for. I throw on some jeans quickly and pull out my cell to send Hannah a text asking her to come meet Daphne. Then I mind link Theo and let him know that I am ready to go. I want some answers and there is a lot that Alpha Jason needs to answer for. *

I meet Theo in the hallway, and Marcus is already with him. Alpha Jason wants to meet in his office once again. Iam still upset about last night, but I am trying to keep my anger in check for the moment. Walking in Jason is already sitting behind his desk. I finally take a good look at him, and the truth is he looks older than he is. His shoulders slump forward, and his hair is already salt and pepper colored. I notice that his Beta Noah is once again in the room. I can see that his eyes widen slightly when Marcus enters his study with me. Maybe he did not realize that Marcus and I were good friends.

I sit in the same leather-bound chair I sat in when I purchased Daphne. Theo stands slightly behind me, and to my right. Marcus takes the other chair beside me.

“Um thank you for meeting with me.” Jason manages to croak out. I can tell that he is nervous, and he has every right to be. My anger is seething. I want to rip his head off. Staring at him from across his desk I can only imagine what Daphne experienced growing up. Finally, I grunt at him to acknowledge his greeting. I want this meeting done and over with. My business with the Silver Moon pack is over with, I do not want anything else to do with these wolves. °

“I wanted to apologize again for my wife’s actions last night. She was not aware that you had purchased Daphne from us yesterday afternoon. I had planned to inform her, but since it was so close to the ball she was already getting dressed, and I never got the chance. It was a shock to her to see a former slave attending the function. I hope you know that we mean no disrespect towards you.” Alpha Jason is practically tripping over himself trying to get the apology out fast enough.

“Ignorance is no excuse for the disrespect that she paid towards Daphne.” Even I can hear how cold my voice is. Ican not help it. Iam ready for war. Any parent that can turn their back on their own child was trash to me. '

“Well as I said the girl was once a slave.”

“Only because that is what you made her, and that girl is your daughter.” There is no stopping the cold rage that has flamed out inside me. “You were told yesterday when I purchased her that I was taking her to the ball, and I made it clear that she was a protected member of my pack. You were warned that no one was to disrespect her. Yet not only was she disrespected it was your own wife that violated my words. It is almost as if you want to have a war with me.” I let my last words sink in. I can see Jason visibly gulped as he considers the possibility of my pack attacking. Although in more recent years it is rare for packs to attack each other, it is not unheard of. '

“Absolutely not Caleb, we would never want that kind of disagreement with you. In fact, we would very much like to open trade negotiations with your pack.” At this he looks over to his Beta who nods his head in agreement. His words do nothing to soothe my anger if anything it flames it even more.

“In what delusional world do you live in that you would ever think that I would be open to trade negotiations with a pack that treated my mate like garbage?” My voice rises significantly on the word mate.

“Now Alpha Caleb you must understand that she killed my son.” Jason is grasping at straws now, doing anything he can to justify his and his packs actions.

“No, she did not kill your son, but if you utter another word against her I will kill you.” The room is deadly quiet at my words. I mean everything that I just said. “Even if Daphne were not my mate, I still would not have any dealings with a pack whose own Alpha turned his daughter into a slave. In my eyes you are no better than a rogue. You have my beautiful mate to thank for the fact that you are still even breathing. If you were not her father, it would not be so. 1am only leaving you with your miserable life because I know that your death by my hands would cause my mate some pain.” Alpha Jason's eyes are bulging out of his head, and I can see the sweat on his brow. My voice is low with the pent-up rage I am allowing to seep from my body.

“I want to make something very clear to you. At this very moment, my mate is packing up whatever belongings she wishes to take home with her. lam taking her from this hell hole of a sham you call a pack. Although I am leaving you still breathing now, if she experiences any sort of disrespect while we are leaving, I will take your life and the life of the person that disrespected her. I have no problems ending you or your pack.” I stand as I finish what I needed to say. I can not stand to be in such close proximity to this monster. The very sight of him is turning my stomach. I need to be near my mate. I want to ensure that she is not in any danger as we are leaving.

Marcus informs Alpha Jason that he and his pack are also taking their leave. The Silver Moon pack can no longer hold their secret. The true personality of the Alpha and Luna were revealed, and I know thatI am not the only one that will look on in disdain at the pain they inflicted on their child. °

After leaving the office I immediately try smelling out my mate. I need to see her. I follow the faint scent of her to the top floor. Soon I can hear Hannah talking and my soul rests a little easier knowing that I will soon be reunited with Daphne.

Turning the corner, I almost wish that I had not sought her out. I investigate the tiny hovel that my gorgeous mate called a room. The cubicle was no larger than a pantry. In the far corner I could make out a thin, makeshift bed consisting of rags. A few clothing items were folded and stacked near the bed. Other than that, I did not see any other belongings in the room. Hannah and Daphne were in a corner opposite of the bed and Daphne was handing Hannah a book that she was pulling out from under a loose floorboard. My heart ached knowing that my mate had grew up in this room.

“I came to see if you ladies needed any help.” I decided to let them know that I was there. Both girls gave a small jump at my voice.

“No, she really does not have much to take with her.” I can tell that Hannah is trying to be nice with her reply. I walk over and grab the small stack of folded clothes, and asked Hannah if she was packed up as well. Hannah lets me know that she is all ready to go. As we all walk towards the door, Daphne

stops in the doorway and looks around one last time. I can see the cacophony of emotions flit across her face. I gently take her hand and give it a small squeeze to let her know! am right here with her. °

I confirm with Theo that our pack is ready to leave. He lets me know that everyone is gathered, and we are ready to head out. We had decided to leave our vehicles near the highway when we came. It was a strategic move on our part. Coming the last part of the way on foot helped those who had not been in the area before getting familiar with the land. It also allowed us to survey the area and determine meeting points and vantage points in case there had been an attack while we were in attendance. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I hoist mine and Daphne's bag onto my shoulders and grab her hand. I came to this place a single, almost feral Alpha. Now I! am leaving with my mate and future Luna. I walked out of the manor house with Daphne in tow, smiling the whole way knowing I was bringing my queen home.
