Maria stood still for awhile, she was shocked at how bold Daphne had suddenly become and the fact that she nolonger show weakness like she use to borders her. She stay in one spot for what seems like ages, slowly suppressing her anger , while trying to get in the mood again.
At the club house. Daphne walked in with a victorious smile , Her gaze meet with the one of Alpha Ben who stares deeply at her , his body reacting to her gazes. In a blink of an eyes , she flashed him a smile , before she walked out of the Club house;Her action send thousands of questions towards Alpha Ben Brian, though his eyes was still partly fixed on her as she walked away . A tapped from Maria brought him back to reality, Maria who had see how shock he was, looks towards his direction to see that he was staring at Daphne . sudden anger envelope her , she look at Daphne with hatred and anger. Despite the fact, that she was with Alpha Ben. She still feel the emptiness like before, since the alpha was not giving her any attention. The only things that kept her going, was the ring on her finger . She was deeply hurt at the facts that, even when he got engage to him;He stares at another woman and the fact that his heart still belong to the other woman’s angers her deeply. She looked back at the alpha, to see the sudden change in his eyes . Alpha Ben stood to his feet, he walked away leaving Maria behind . Maria stares at the crowd to see that everyone was too busy to noticed what , was happening. she quickly make use of the Opportunity to run after the Alpha , at a distance . She drag the Alpha back taking him by surprised, she look at the surprised alpha with deep hatred in her eyes.
“Why did you do that , we are together. you are to respect me as the future Luna for heaven sake.”she voiced out, with pain in her voice. though she had been trying her best to please the alpha , who seems unpleased.
“Do what exactly?”That alpha question.
“Staring at another woman, even when I’m with you .”She responded, her anger taking the best part of her . she try to calm down a bit , while lowering her voiced a little.
“She is off limits, Don’t try to pressure me more .”Alpha Ben warned. He turned to walked away , but her questions made her stand still in shock.
“Did you still love her ?”Maria asked, She knew pretty well that he does . Though Alpha Ben stand in one spot for some time, he exhale before turning towards her with a smirks.
“Isn’t this what you wanted , to be the Luna . My feelings doesn’t matter , does it?”He said, with every bit of anger in him.
He turned walking away , leaving Maria behind . she try her possible best to fight her tears.
Even when , she was not here with him. She was still competing with her , She wonder why he loved her so much ;that she had to competite with an ordinary omega over his love. she felt hurt inside and the anger In her take the best part of her , immediately she remembers her words .
She felt scared when she does, the thought of losing the alphas bring fears on her , she had lost him once and she is not ready to loose him again.
She must do everything within her powers to make sure that Daphne and Alpha Ben aren’t together . Even if it means death , she was ready to do it .
With a steady but slow step, Daphne walk towards Daniel chambers . She sees him sitting at the corner , while slowly treating his injuries , she offers to help and they both went silent. Daphne on her part was in deep thoughts, she try to battle with her mind . She had wanted to tell him about the recent development, but she was reluctant after , Austin and Josiah had warn her not to. Though she still doubt Josiah , but giving him a try won’t hurt .
“Something borders you, would you love to shares .”Daniel speak , after observing her attitude for some times . Daphne’s shrugged while carefully massaging his hands , with the hot water.
“Nothing borders Daphne , I’m sorry for all the pain I have cause you so far.”She apologize instead.
Josiah and Austin rushed in to see Daniel , Their gazed met with that of Daphne instead . All were shocked to see each other , they rushed towards Daniel as they hugged her tightly. Daniel couldn’t breath more , he smiles at how childish they behaves and also how caring they were towards him.
“I hope I don’t die soon.”He said, Josiah Tapped on him , Causing him to winced in pain.
“Hey Man, the ass hole finally let you go.”Josiah said, His voiced echoes .
“Hey man watch your tongue, that is my friend we are talking about.”Austin warned , he stretch his hands towards Josiah.
“Isn’t he one .”Josiah mocked, Daphne smile at them .
“He might be mean , but trust me he has a soft spot .”Austin said , with the hope of convincing Josiah. Instead Josiah smirk .
“Enough with you two.”Daphne spoke up, she was tired of the uneccessary argument about these two . The never spend a day without picking a fight on each other .
Daniel watches them as he smile , His phone ring attracting their attention but rather he ended the call, while looking so nervous. They all looked at him in surprised but they ignore . Just when they wanted to continue their conversation, the phone ring again. He excuse himself to takes the call. They all stares at each other , one after the other finding his attitude strange. The Daniel they know hardly stand up to take calls.
“He seems strange , these days .”Josiah speak up , Both Daphne and Austin nodded in agreement.
“Who knows, he might be keeping a deep secret or something, or did he get into trouble.”Daphne asked, she was worried about his attitude.
Daniel show up, to see the surprised look on their faces , he smile at the before he sat down .
“Who was that?”Asked Daphne , who watches him with kin interest.
“A friend , in need of help”He responded, though he was weird . But they decide to let him be after sharing a glance at each other.
They talked and chat for sometimes before they parted ways, leaving Daniel behind .
The three teams went up to their hidden spot , there they discuss more on the changes and what they had confirmed.
“Maria , she is always on her phone talking to someone. i noticed this lately and the Maria I know never speak to people over the phone”Josiah speak up.
“Funny but strange, I noticed the sad look on Alpha Ben today.”Daphne responded.
“There must be something wrong, who ever this is , I think they are connected to Maria.”Austin suggest.
Josiah and Daphne agreed , though they were still in doubt .
“Daphne , you try to get closed to the alpha and as for Josiah , keep a closer watch at Maria .”Austin instructed.
“Hey man , don’t boss me around. incase you forgot , a friendly reminder that I am still the alpha of my pack.”Josiah stated causing another argument between them. Daphne sighs frustrated at how frequently they argue with each other.
She stares at them and then sighs again, gradually they stop the argument, finally paying attention to her.
Austin look at Josiah who stares back at him both exchange some funny look.
“Daph..”Josiah called , with more seriousness.
“Yes”Daphne responded.
“I’m sorry , I know this might sound strange, but I’m really sorry. Sorry for hurting you, sorry for the rejection and sorry for how we got on the wrong foot.”Josiah apologize, sincerely.
Daphne watches in surprised, she sighs and a smile escape her lips.
“Wow, An alpha with the apologetic look, funny though.”she kicked , tapping on him.
“I’m I forgiving?”Alpha Josiah asked .
“Everything wasn’t your fault, This is me facing fate . Destiny has a bigger plan.”she sighs .
Austin look at her , he wonders why she always speak in parable like she knew all these will happen to her.
“I missed home though, i. miss having Gaelly around and I miss having Grayson around.”She said in a sad tone .
“Wanna pay them a visit.”Josiah said, in the hope of cheering her up.
“Good idea, but not yet.”She spoke up.
They talked and chat for over an hour , before they part way . they walked home together, closed to the alpha chambers Austin stop at the gate , He stares at the alpha chambers with a heavy heart. He had missed reporting to him about their daily activities and how things went . He missed going haunting with the alpha and he also missed their happy moments together. He sighs taking a deep breath. Alpha Ben look at him from afar, he smile when he saw him, happy at the fact that he still remember him . Looking towards Daphne and Josiah, Alpha Ben felt a little jealous to see how closed they had suddenly become. He winced in anger , Seeing how his mate was playing with Another man make his wolf wanna pop out. He manage to calm his wolf down a bit and after another stares at Austin, he turned walking into his room after closing the door silently, he was about going out when he saw them
