Book 2 Chapter 40

Daphne’s Point of View

It did not take me long to finish getting ready after Caleb left. I took a few long breaths to calm my inflamed face before I left our room. Caleb has my heart pounding. As the Luna of my pack, and with us still entertaining guests then I cannot be waltzing around like a lovesick puppy, filled with lust. Once I felt the blood leave my face, and my pulse slow I knew it was time to leave the room. Surprisingly I felt rather hungry this morning but thinking about the activities of the previous night it should not have been a surprise that I have worked up an appetite.

With the ghost of last night replaying through my mind, and a huge smile on my face I happily left the bedroom and headed downstairs to have breakfast. I barely made it out of the room before my arm was grabbed and I was yanked into the study.

“What the hell Scarlett that hurt.” I whisper yell at my sister as she finally relents and releases my arm.

“Sorry for the rough handling, but we both decided that we wanted this conversation to remain private.” At Scarlett’s words I look around the room and realize that Luna Alma is also in the study with us.

“Sorry for not greeting you sooner Luna Alma. I hope that you have thoroughly enjoyed your stay with us so far, and tonight’s summers bash will also be a delightful event.” Alma smiles slightly at my words, but I can see there is also some strain in her face.

“Yes, our stay has been delightful, and Jerome and I have a deep appreciation for the kindness that you and Caleb have bestowed upon us both.” Alma heaves a heavy sigh before she continues. “Scarlett has told me that she revealed that I was in contact with a witch, and that you are hoping to be in contact with her as well.” She looks uneasy and is wringing her hands in front of her.
