Chapter 267
Davyna's POV
Time is flying by while I'm here. I only have today and tomorrow before head back to the Hollow. I've definitely made a name for myself now that I put Renee in her place. She's recovered from the beating I gave her, and has done a complete 180. She approached me yesterday and profusely apologized to myself and Caleb for her actions.
Sol guess that is one problem solved and l am dreading the next one to tackle, which is telling Caleb that Asher was here with a warning. I sigh loudly as I'm stretching out front of the house with Caleb. It's a bit chillier today, so I've decided to wear a pair of fitted grey sweats and a loose t-shirt. It's one of my favourites, teal in colour and off the shoulder. We've just gotten back from a good run, and as much as I don't want to ruin this mood, or the day, I have to tell him.
"You alright?" Caleb asks before taking a sip of his water.
"You seemed distracted while we were out today"
"I was. I have to tell you something" He looks at me with a concerned face, and l can't tell how this is going to go at all. "Okay, spill. What is it?" His blue eyes trained on me, completely serious.
"Asher was here the other night, when you were gone for meetings."
"What in the actual fuck? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" I shrink back at the sharpness of his words.
"I wasn't sure how to bring it up. It was so sudden. He surprised me and.." Caleb cuts me off.
"What did he say. Tell me. Now."
I try to swallow the lump forming in my throat as I reply.
"And?" He continues to stare at me sternly.
"He told me not to come back to the Hollow... that I'd pretty much regret it if I did. But there's more. He knows what l am."
"Excuse me? Did you tell him?" 1 shake my head fiercely.
"No! I wouldn't! When he confronted me, I stood my ground and threatened him to leave. That's when he told me to be cautious, since I hadn't fully awakened, and blow the fact that I have a vampire side when I am at a parklands for werewolves"
Caleb doesn't reply, and instead storms past me into the house. I follow him all the way up to the bedroom, scrambling to keep up. He grabs his phone once inside and places it to his ear as he calls someone.
"Caleb, I'm sorry. l know I should have told you the moment he was here. I fucked up." He holds his hand up and I clamp my mouth shut, cutting off my own next sentence. Not going to anger him further
"Vincent." He says and I look away. Great. Now they're both going to be furious. I hear my own phone ring and I go and pick it up, walking out into the hallway so I don't interrupt Caleb's call with Vincent.
"Hello?"
"Davyna!! How is everything?" It's Marcella.
"Everything is good, what's up?" I reply, making my voice cheery as to not give away anything about the current state of affairs.
"Good to hear! I'm calling because I was wondering if you had time to work on a routine for the ball happening next week? I've gotten
everything else planned out, l just need help on the last routine. I'm beat, and have no idea what Fuck.
"Alright. Let's go deal with this." I guess I'll have to find Davyna later, as much as I don't like it. Damn this bitch Renee, still causing me issues. I stand and follow Michael out and back to the pack house.
It's early evening now as I walk out of the packhouse, having dealt with the issue of Renee leaving the pack. Her father and I got into it, but he learned his place pretty quickly. This was his daughter's choice, I did not banish her. I'm only a sit-in Alpha while I am here, so I couldn't have banished her, even if l really fucking wanted to. She was publicly embarrassed by my mate, and couldn't take the pressure of having challenged the Luna and getting her ass handed
"Renee ran off, declared herself rogue and just left."
Fuck.

I groan as I run my hand through my hair. I did not want to take this long, and now I'm even more tense. I have to find Davyna and apologize for how I reacted earlier. I jog towards my house and as I walk in the front door, I hear music blaring from upstairs. It's a club song, kinda catchy.
I walk upstairs and identify where it is coming from; my workout room. I open the door a slight bit and I see Davyna, planning and mapping out dance moves to the song, stopping and starting as she works it out. I decide to just watch her for a few moments, as I've never seen her work.
Always the finished product, never the process.
She really is talented. I watch her hit moves on some of the beats, but the way she moves is so sensual. It's like she feels the music inside her and although I'm sure it doesn't come naturally, it looks like it does.
She pauses for a moment and turns and our eyes meet. She
immediately blushes and turns off the music.
"Sorry, was it too loud?" She asks me as she wipes some sweat off of her forehead. I shake my
head.
"No, it wasn't."
"How long were you standing there?" I chuckle.
"Only a little bit.. What's this for?" She exhales loudly as she sits down on the floor and chugs her water.
"Marcella called and said she needed help with the final routine
for the ball. I told her I'd do it."
"It looks good so far." I walk into the room and sit down beside her.
"Thanks" She says and then there is an avwkward moment of silence
between us. Just sitting on the floor, not looking at each other, not speaking. It's like we don't know where to begin.
"I'm sorry, baby." I start and she looks at me, grey eyes focused. "Why are you sorry?" She asks I scoot closer to her and take her hands in mine.
"For the way I reacted when you told me about Asher's visit. I let my anger get the best of me and I did not mean to take it out on you."
"I'm sorry l didn't say it earlier. I was just having such an amazing time here and l knew that it would put pressure on the visit. Pressure that I didn't want. I was selfish, considering my past with Asher. You deserved to know as soon as he was here."
"l understand why you didn't tell me, baby. Vincent so kindly reminded me that Asher is the problem. Not you. I am really sorry. I don't want you to think I blame you. For anything." I squeeze her hands in reassurance She returns the gesture as she explains. "l was upset, and was unsure if it was worth telling you, but after I took some time to clear my head and work around it, I came to the conclusion that it was regardless of your reaction. Asher is trying to be a bigger threat, and if I didn't tell you, then
anything that happened as a result of that would be my fault. And I
couldn't live with that."
"You know you could give Vincent a run for his money for how you use your words." Finally l get a smile from her.
"l don't know about that, but thank you" I pull her into my lap and she snuggles into my chest as I kiss the top of her head.
"I don't want you to be scared of telling me anything, okay? No matter how I might react, from now on I will always try to be" I hear her sniffle and l pull her chin up slightly to look at her. I wipe away the tears falling down her cheeks and kiss her lips softly.
"Don't cry, baby. We worked through it. I guess we're better at this then we think."
She laughs softly and snuggles into me again, and my heart is content. My mate is in my arms, we've worked through yet another obstacle and couldn't be happier.
Davyna's POV
I smile as I look at Caleb next to me, sheets barely covering his beautiful, muscular and wonderfully naked body. He's sleeping soundly and I can't help but grin ear to ear. I don't know if we had what you would call makeup sex, but damn it was good. He let me feed off him again, so I'm completely wired and I can't sleep, no matter how sore my body is.
I get out of the bed quietly, and put on one of my large oversized wool sweaters and a pair of underwear and shorts. I pull my hair back into a ponytail, making note to shower and brush it tomorrow morning considering it is all knotted from mine and Caleb's sex session tonight.
I tip-toe out of the bedroom as quietly as I can, and head down into the kitchen and grab a glass of water and I go sit out on the back porch of the house, facing the large clearing where I shifted for the first time.
Deem a massive support since l awakened her this meet is part of me feels so much more whole, and honestly? I feel like this is my normal. This is how I was supposed to live my life I keep questioning my upbringing and why I was made dormant, why I was adopted, and why I was made to suffer like this. I'm content with Caleb and Vincent, but there is always going to be a part of me that wants answers. So many whys and answers nowhere to be found. Not right now, at least. I sip my water, contemplating if I should shift and try to tire myself out, or just go back upstairs, when I sense something near the tree line in front of me.
I stand on the porch, my eyes scanning the trees. I don't see anything as I place my water glass down on the flat railing near me. I shrug, about to go back inside, grabbing my glass again.
Then I sense it again. As I scan the trees again, I almost drop the now empty glass in my hand, gasping. My heart starts to pound loudly in my ears as I focus.
All i can see are a pair of silver/white eyes, staring at me from in-between the trees.
