S.C.M Trials

Chapter 7

Daniel's POV

Seeing Desiree cry made my heart ache. This trial was taking a toll on me. I could still feel the sadness she felt as she laid asleep in her room.

My heart was filled with a heaviness I never thought possible. So this must be what heartbreak feels like? The guilt, the sadness, the unanswered questions, and the feeling of your heart being pulled down and squeezed tightly is something unbearable even to me- a werewolf.

"Son, are you okay?" My dad had his hand on my shoulder as he tried to comfort me. His hand on my shoulder would never have the same effect Desiree had on me. Just looking into her eyes can cause me to go limp. With her, I am at peace. If only I wasn't stupid enough to say those things to her.

She wasn't a weak link. I didn't mean it that way. She is my weak link. The only weapon that can be used against me to bring me down. If I brought her to the area where I would have to get rid of rogues, I would never be able to do my job properly. She was and will always be my number one priority.

My wolf had officially shut me out. He is also feeling the weight of this trial.

"I'll be fine. I'm going upstairs to prepare and make a few calls. Tell Mom, I won't be able to eat today."

Getting to my office, I could feel the tears running down Desiree's face. Trying to distract myself, I decided to call an old friend.

"Hey, man. I heard you have a mate. I wonder what color should I get, blue or pink? By now I bet she already carrying that little evil spawn of yours in her-"

"Not a good time, Evan. My old man told me you had a rogue problem. I'll be there in a few days. I need to resolve things with Desiree first." To think that someday Desiree may possible be carrying my pups bring such happiness and pride.

My thoughts drift back to the future that I was able to experience. Our daughter Destiny- will she be here after this trial is over? Or was that future voided after my stupid mistakes?

"Woah, looks like somebody has some trouble in paradise. Here's a tip from an already mated man. All you need is three things, say I'm sorry, treat her with whatever she wants, and finally lots and lots of steamy, kinky, and teasing rounds of-"

"Shut up! We haven't done anything yet. Anyways, I have something I need to ask you." This was actually the reason why I was calling. I wanted to make sure and plan ahead just in case for Desiree.

"Oh you mean about you know who? She knows your coming. She uh... was busy getting herself um... ready for you. So- I don't know what will happen but I told her the news and she didn't seem too happy." Evan seemed a bit on edge telling me this. Not only was Evan Alpha of his father's pack, we grew up together. He was hiding something from me and I could tell by the way he was stuttering.

"What else? You're not telling me everything."

"She kind of threatened to do something to your mate when she gets here. And also, her best friend too. Just to let you know you really do have a lasting impact on people. But don't worry man, you know we're like brothers, I promise to have someone keep my eye on them. Desiree will be safe here." Hearing them even think of threatening my mate stirred so much anger in me. I gripped the telephone so hard that the screen cracked. My old man is definitely not going to be happy about that.

Surprisingly the phone was still working. Evan and I began to catch up on things as we talked strategy and info on the whereabouts of the rogue lurking around his area. Almost 3 hours had passed before we said our goodbyes. Throughout the entire time, I was still distracted by how Desiree was feeling upset in her room asleep.

Deciding enough was enough, I sneaked into her room and stripped into my boxers trying carefully to get on the bed and wrap her in my arms. I could feel her tense body relax as she sighed. She turned to me with her eyes wide open. Oh shit. This is not going to end very well. How was I going to explain why I was in her room sleeping in the same bed as her?

"This dream feels too good to be true." She whispered to me. Her eyes staring into mine as she rested her palm on my cheek. "But then again, this is a dream. You know you drive me insane, right? I don't know why I am so intrigued by you. All I think about is you. All I can see is you. You, Daniel, have truly broken me. I don't know what it is, but my entire life is filled with the presence of you. I even get the strangest feeling of deja vu. Like- we were destined to meet each other."

I chuckled at her reaction. Looks like I won't have to explain anything to her.

"You are adorable you know that?" I pressed a kissed to her forehead and left my lips there. Loving the way her skin felt against it.

"I understand what you are saying baby girl. And it's true what you said. I have broken you and for that I will pay the price of breaking you for the rest of my life. But know one thing, you- Desiree Callagen, are my everything. You are the only reason I sleep and wake up the next day anticipating to see. You are what I live for. There is nothing more in this world that I need and care for more than you." I murmured against her skin.

Suddenly I felt a burst of overwhelming sadness flush over me as my own tears stream down my face. Both Desiree and I were feeling sadness.

"I don't understand why I feel so sad yet so happy. So happy to hear it but so sad knowing I won't hear this from the real you. God, what is wrong with me?" I couldn't help hug her close to my chest as she sobbed her heart out.

This trial was making her different too. It was confusing her and hurting her beyond repair. I need to do better. I have to.

"Shhh. It's okay baby girl. Nothing is wrong with you. I'm here. As long as I'm here in your dreams, you can spill your heart to me. Dream of me and call out to me when you want to see me. I promise I'll be there." I waited till her eyes closed and her breathing normalized before leaving the room.

We both can't keep going on like this. I had to find a way to talk to the Moon Goddess but how?
