It may be prudent to refrain from addressing that matter, provided she does not enquire. Over the past decade, he had pursued another mate and completely distanced himself from her, believing he had long since been mistaken about her. I had wished to be mistaken regarding her.
Daisy sought a more suitable partner, one capable of bringing her happiness and enabling her to move on from him. He genuinely desired that for her. He desired her intensely, uncertain whether she would immediately reject him or grant him another opportunity.
Caelan was quite confident that Amelia would be agreeable to it. Caelan anticipated that this would be advantageous for him.
He glanced at his watch and frowned; how long did it take to pose a single question? Although MASON could merely be socialising with Daisy, he appeared genuinely pleased to discover that she was his younger sister. Neither he nor Mason had been able to approach Belinda to discuss the matter. She was perpetually accompanied by Cullen, Ava, or Sonja, never traversing alone.
He had telepathically communicated with her regarding Daisy’s training, maintaining a light and casual tone, as if he were unaware that Mason had disclosed the identity of Daisy’s mother. Belinda consented to commence her training. It was scheduled to commence next week, after which she had terminated the mental connection. Caelan had not exerted pressure on her; she was confronting her own past trauma. The recollections of Daisy’s conception, her father’s identity, and his probable actions towards her were undoubtedly distressing, particularly since Mason had compelled her to reveal the truth, which was not enjoyable for her.
The suite door finally opened, and Mason entered. Caelan was gazing directly at him, enquiring the unarticulated question.
“A reproduction of artwork.”
“Regarding what?””
“I am uncertain.” She refused to reveal it to me. It is her personal matter.
Caelan sighed, “Were you unable to persuade her?””
“No, and I would not attempt to go down there.”
She is uncertain and prepared to challenge you on the matter. One might assert.
“Pardon me?”“
“You indicated that you placed an Alpha Order on her and that the result will be unfavourable.”
Caelan sighed once more, simply splendid. She remained irritated with him. “Is there anything further?””
“It is unlikely that you will wish to listen to Caelan.” It is advisable to refrain from interference. It appears she has reached her limit regarding your possessiveness towards her.
Tomorrow is unlikely to proceed favourably; it is probable that I will outright reject him immediately. He neither desired nor required it. It was excruciating the first time. How would he navigate it a second time?
You may wish to revoke all the other orders you have placed on her.”
“Which directives?”Alex abruptly rose to his feet, directing a fierce glare at Caelan.
“Disregard it.” I will revoke them, but not at this moment. I require her to remain stationary until the moon descends, after which I will remove them from her.
“You have Alpha Ordered her once more.” Are you out of your mind, Caelan Ley? Have you not learnt from previous errors?
I require her presence here. They are established to ensure her confinement, that is all.
Alex was incensed at this moment. He observed the man nearly trembling with rage. “It is not surprising that she is discontented, Caelan,” he retorted, “Rectify your own mistakes.” “I will not assist you,” he stated before turning and exiting the suite, forcefully closing the door behind him.
As anticipated, the Luna was his responsibility, after all.
Cole remained silent, merely raising an eyebrow at him. Gazed at Mason, then rose and sauntered out after Alex. It is not unexpected, as those two shared a strong bond.
“That was successful, Caelan.” Mason gazed directly at him.
“When did Alex become aware of the most recent occasion and my directives?””
Mason shrugged, stating, “As the Gamma, he may have always been aware but chose not to engage.”
“Excellent, perhaps he could have provided assistance at that time!”“
“Perhaps the man lacked the knowledge.”
Caelan was unaware of the answer to that question. Only Alex possesses those answers, and if he has been unwilling to discuss the matter, it is improbable that he will do so now, having remained silent all this time. It was evident that he was displeased with her current emotional state. He was unable to descend and converse with her or provide solace.
As the Gamma, she may suspect that an alternative situation is occurring. Alex would not disclose Caelan’s identity. Alex was aware that she possessed the autonomy to discover information about her Mate independently. He would allow her to identify her own Mate by scent.
He experienced a restless night in his suite, primarily pacing about and struggling to sleep. Ultimately, he descended to his office in search of tasks to occupy himself. There was an abundance of tasks to complete. He had emails to review and reply to. Contracts to review; I remained there until dawn.
The moon will not set until 9:36 PM. The day was anticipated to be prolonged. His fatigue exacerbated his usual irritability. Ella had informed him that she, Daisy, and several others planned to spend a day at the spa in the Pack’s town centre to unwind and prepare for the mating ball.
Caelan had previously contacted and charged it to his personal pack card. He would cover the expenses for whatever anyone in the group desired. The revelation had astonished Fiona, the woman on the other end of the queue, yet he disregarded it. The entire pack would be astonished, he envisioned, upon discovering that he and Daisy were, in fact, Goddess-Gifted Mates. Given that they had all anticipated his expulsion of her a month prior.
Attendance at the mating ball would be restricted to higher-ranked members; however, this would not prevent visiting pack members from identifying potential mates within his pack. If they were bonded to them. It signified that only individuals of higher rank would be permitted entry into the ballroom during the mating ball.
He possessed numerous un-mated ranked members; his entire Alpha Unit remained un-mated. However, he suspected there was an issue regarding Alex and Cole, which he chose to overlook, believing those two would resolve their situation in due time. Cole’s youngest brother and his sister Ella were both unmated. Mason’s two younger sisters, Ava and Sonja, were both unmated, as were several of his most esteemed warriors at that time. In fact, 45 of them are both male and female.
Caelan anticipated that some of them would bond tonight and discover their Mates. It would enhance the strength and contentment of his pack. Although the majority of the pack was content, there were excessively many un-mated individuals for his preference.
Caelan had already exhibited hostility towards his unit and his mother this morning, and it was scarcely lunchtime; his tension was escalating. Alpha Kaiden was once again reclining in the foyer with his Beta, Ben, engaged in conversation and laughter, displaying no apparent apprehension regarding the impending full moon.
While awaiting an audience with Daisy, Caelan could only speculate about the man. Caelan was increasingly irritated; he desired to confront him and assert that she was his mate, demanding he withdraw. However, he restrained himself. The majority of the other visiting pack members were aimlessly roaming, engaged in their individual activities. A considerable number of them were lounging by the pool. The day was sweltering, providing an excellent opportunity for respite.
