As Liam laid on the bed, he couldn't help but think why Daphne was so bent on taking Marcel that far. Was that how she felt? He wondered what he could do to help her. She has been really quiet these days, only calling him when she needed to discuss things about the pack. He didn't feel like he knew Daphne of Bayview. Now, she was this new person he was sometimes afraid of talking to.

There were sometimes he would meet her in her wolf form. The one time he asked Rio why she took over, her reason was curt and filled with irritation. "I am protecting her from her emotions."

He planned to talk to her about her emotions. But there was no way he could do it because of how busy she seemed. Every morning, after feeding Mason and talking to him a bit, her eyes would glaze over and then she would disappear into her makeshift office. When it got dark, she would come out, stretching herself. Some hot afternoons, she would go out for a run in her wolf form with other wolves who cared to join in.
