Shadow Valley Pack
“Walker, what does Dallas have on us?” Alpha Leon asks. “I want to know what kind of questions I might get from the King.”
Walker stares at his Alpha, he has been going over it in his mind and has come up with nothing. He thought that he played his cards right, his Alpha who happens to be his closest friend is unaware of his biggest secret and he intends to keep it that way.
“All I can think of is footage from the day she left, but we made sure that it was all deleted. Everything else that happened after that day has been kept a secret from the outside world, your Alpha command took care of that.” Walker finally answers his Alpha and best friend.
Alpha Leon isn’t worried about the trial, he has been through quite a few in his years as the Alpha of Shadow Valley Pack and he knows how to deal with certain questions.
However, he does need to know what kind of q
Chapter 83Quinlan’s p.o.v.Have they lost their fucking minds?First, they forget that Dezra was stripped of her titles, then they forget that Dallas is a part of the Royal family and complete their disrespect for Dallas by acting as if she wouldn’t be able to take on the position.If I didn’t despise them already, the Elders would have pulled it off with their behavior today.Dallas is correct, the Elders who were in agreement with Elder Dawn will cause most of our future problems. I just hope that we can tackle any problems before they become significant issues.“Nicely done, Aunt Eliza. Charna was close to ripping her a new one.” I hear Dallas say as they walk back into Dad’s office.“Dallas, we need to figure out what happened all those years ago. I will not allow an Elder to disrespect us or this Kingdom; we need to find out what they can and
Dallas’ p.o.v.After lunch, we head to the King’s Chamber for our meeting with the Elders. This time, I will be sitting beside Uncle Vaughn as his Beta, even though I haven’t taken the position yet.I take my time to look around as we wait for every Elder to sit down. The King’s Chamber is a miniature version of the Throne Room, down to the fabric used for the Elders' seats.The seats are standing on what looks like a grandstand, one on each side of the room. Elder Jeff is sitting in a seat in the middle of the room, making everyone look down on him. Our seats are on a platform, facing the door and whoever is sitting in the defendant’s bench or whatever you want to call it.“Elders, before I explain what Elder Jeff is doing down there, I need to address another matter.” Uncle Vaughn says as he gets up. “With Dezra’s betrayal, I need to replace her as my Beta. It needs to
Dallas' p.o.v.Charna is chuckling in my head as Darius takes off at full speed, she is going to enjoy this race and will do anything to win from her Mate.We follow Darius into the forest and see him speeding past the orange post. Charna is speeding up a little and we can hear Darius getting further down the wrong path.“Can we hide from Darius in some way?” I ask Charna. Our bond will make it easier for him to know where we are and when he figures out that we are ahead of him, Camus will give chase.“Of course we can. There is a reason no one could ever find us.” Charna replies and for a split second, I feel a little funny, but it's gone just as fast as it came. I remember feeling this whenever we played hide and seek with the Squad and that I was always the last to come forward.Usually, after being called to come out, because they couldn't find me and I always assumed it h
Darius' p.o.v.Camus is near the surface as we both look at our mate, who is still holding the brunette on the ground by her throat.Like Dallas, I can’t understand why a Guardian would be so disrespectful of their Queen or the Mate-bond. A Guardian is selected after a lengthy trial of tests and even then, they are still on a year's probation for the position.“What the hell is wrong with women?” Daxton asks through our mind-link.“They refuse to put in the effort to find their connection, afraid that they will be disappointed with their Mate's rank. There are also many women who get spoiled rotten and never face consequences for their actions.” Dallas answers out loud.Daxton chuckles at her response because she knew why he didn't ask the question out loud.“I don't care if they agree with me or not. We all know I'm telling the truth, but most would never say it out
Dallas’ p.o.v.I am walking next to Aunt Eliza, talking about the challenges I am facing with the mess in the Beta office.Chatter is coming from somewhere up ahead and I assume that it is the training grounds we are approaching.Charna is keeping an eye on our surroundings and she is also the one who realizes that no one is paying attention to me or the Queen; none of them shows Aunt Eliza any respect. It stands out that this is a group of women training; there are no men around.However, the moment the rest of our group comes into view, the women all change their attitude and it isn’t for the best.A brunette walks away from the group of women, her eyes locked on one of my Mates and Charna is growling in my head for the disrespect. It is clear to see that both of them are marked, but it appears that the brunette doesn’t care at all.I want to take a step forward, but Aunt Eliza places a hand
Dallas’ p.o.v.“Do you think that, whoever reprinted this book, made the mistake on purpose?” I ask no one in particular.It is the only thing that makes sense to me, because if you wanted to make it challenging for anyone to discover what you did, you would hide everything from the original book that could indicate it is a reprint.So, why would you reprint a book and leave such an important chapter in it?“It had to have been deliberate. I can’t think of any other reason for that chapter to be still in here.” Daxton responds to my question.“Quinlan, can you run a few different searches to see if there is an older copy still out there?” I ask.No matter what he tries, he gets the same message over and over again: No Results. We even offer a few options and not one result appears.Darius and Quinlan decide to open the library on their tablets and open each
