Caelan sighed, how was he supposed to stay with her if this keeps happening “Got to be Daisy.”
“Agreed. Link your mother, to prove I knew where you were.”
Caelan did just that:” I’m fine, Mother, just downstairs. Is all.”
What happen to you?” I don’t know’ he answered honestly ‘Joe and I will look into it.’
I don’t like it.’ she sounded very unhappy, but let it go.
Mason was staring right at him “You and I need to talk.” his tone was very serious
“Does it have to be right now?” Caelan asked a little annoyed he want to go back to be with Daisy, to sleep with his arms around her. Wake up next to her.
“Yes, considering what is going on in that room.”
“Joe you said you were fine with it.” Caelan frowned at him now.
Mason reached out and touched Caelan ’s chest, he looked down, the bite Daisy had given him “That denotes more than s*x.”
Caelan sighed, he didn’t want her waking up alone, but seemed that was what was going to happen. “Fine my office.”
“Where else would we talk privately.” Mason shook his head and walked off.
Caelan closed the door to his office, and watched Mason pull his dreadlocks up and use two of them to tie them back, as he walked over to sit down on the couch. “I know who Daisy’s mother is, confirmed it yesterday.”
They were not the words that Caelan was expecting to hear, hadn’t even thought about that himself in over a day, knew at some point they would have to try and figure it out, seems his Beta was all over it, and just stated confirmed it yesterday.
“What? When? How?”
“You are just as blind, as everyone else in the pack, you know.” he sighed “you might want to sit down.” he waved Caelan towards a chair.
Caelan sat and waited for Mason to tell him. The man just sat there and stare at him for a long time, seemed hesitant to tell him, something else was going on. Caelan knew he was likely not going to, like it or want to know it.
“Did you Mate her?” Caelan sighed, rubbed his temples, seemed another conversation was going to be had before this one, he was not going to lie to his best friend, he’d find out anyway. Would just go and ask Daisy in all likelihood.
“Yes.” he nodded, looked at Mason, and sighed “Knotted her, in fact.”
“You idiot, do you know what that could mean?”
“Yes Joe, of course I know. Couldn’t help it, she bit me,” he indicated the bite mark on his chest “then it was both her and Amelia and her eyes were all glowing green and silver, Hudson and I.” he shrugged “I don’t personally have a problem with it.
“You may not, she might Caelan .” Mason was frowning right at him. “is it a stupid question to ask if you used protection.”
“Yes, wouldn’t have helped anyway.”
Mason shook his head, Caelan knew even if he had been wearing protection his knot would have ripped it open, it would have been useless. “Yes Joe I am aware she might, hence I wanted to her to wake up with me right there, so we could discuss it.”
“Are you going to tell her? Everything or just what you think is best?”
“I don’t know, it has to come out at some point I know that. But.. I still think waiting for the full moon is best”
“So do I, but I think its a bit late for that don’t you?”
“I don’t know, guess! will have to wait and see what she thinks.”
“And if she wants nothing to do with you, how are you and Hudson going to feel about that”
“Don’t know. Hudsons asleep right this minute.” He shrugged “| will wait I guess, nothing else l can do. I will not Mark her Joe if that is what you are worried about, never again will she be Marked by me against her will.”
Saw Joe frown, “Man you gotta stop that shit. You do not know what happen, you don’t know if you Mark her against her will or not. Hell for all you know she Marked you first and then you responded.”
Caelan knew it was true. He did not know what happened, just how she’d looked when he’d woken up. Rubbed his temples, but she had barely been 16 so it was more than likely his doing. He hated thinking about this, did his head in.
“Caelan , you can scent her right.”
“Yes,” he nodded.
“Okay, it could have just been the fact that one deeper level both Hudson and Amelia knew what they were to each other, so they Mark each other, it might not have been you or Daisy at all, just your wolves.”
Caelan knew Joe was trying to reason it out for him, had done it many times before. Her state that day was indicative of Hudson, but that was no excuse, he hated not knowing the truth of that day.
Frowned and looked right at Joe.
“What?”
“l had a bit of a run in with Rose last night, she went to see John finally and had the hide to come here blaming Daisy, said something to me, that made me not only step towards her but ask her, if she knew what happened that day.”
“And?”
“She wouldn’t look at me, dropped her eyes to the ground said no, but I don’t know I don’t think I believe her.” he frowned, “I never liked that woman.”
“ls it that you don’t like her, or is it something else?”
Caelan really thought about it, about Rose herself, got up and prowled around inside his office for a good five minutes, before sitting back down and looking right at Mason “it’s something else, that day, she came into this office all tears and full of concern, called Daisy her little girl. Hugged her, gently even…Daisy frowned like it was odd..then the two of them never saw each other after that day. I don’t even recall her going to see if Daisy was alright a day or even a week later.”
