Novels by Yvette Boeije-Spreen

Dallas’ p.o.v.We gave Elder Zane enough time to leave the Palace grounds before we allowed the Alpha to return to his territory.I don’t regret anything that happened at the trials and I will work with Benton on finding any and all laws that got buried all those years ago. We stay in our private wing for the rest of the evening and turn in early after the exhausting two days we just had.My office has been cleaned and all the broken furniture has finally been replaced. I did most of my work in Uncle Vaughn’s office, but I am glad I can finally work in my own office.“Get out of Captain Joshua’s office. He has no use for a lowlife like you.” I hear someone say and keep walking until I reach his office.It surprises me to see a Servant scowling at Marsha, Joshua’s second connection. None of the Servants should be in our offices at the moment and she isn’t even wearing her

Dallas’ p.o.v.I stare at Quinlan as he shares Brogan's thoughts, and I have to agree with him.“Maybe we should inform Lucy about the consequences of her handing over her position to Nico. I doubt anyone would tell her that he keeps the position, even if he rejects her.” Quinlan says.Lucy isn’t my favorite Shifter in the Kingdom, but Quinlan is right. She needs to understand the consequences of her decision before making a choice that will impact the rest of her life.“Let’s get some lunch. I want this day to be over with. It is time to take control back and show the Shifters in our Kingdom that we will put them first.” I say as I walk toward the door.Our family is already seated at the table, and I've sent a message to Vern to ensure Lucy is warned about her position and the consequences of handing it over. I might not like her, but I dislike Nico even more and I believe that Nico would misuse the Beta position.It is quiet in the dining room and the only sound you can hear is the

Quinlan’s p.o.v.I look at all the empty seats in the morning, and it is strange to see that not all the Elders I grew up with are present.Dad had given his orders again before he asked the Guardians to bring in the next prisoners. Dezra and Darron got their orders from Dad in their cell and walked into the Throne Room in silence.“Alphas, you were all present during the trial and have heard all the evidence against my Sister and her Mate. We will revisit that evidence for the sake of your Pack-members, who might not be aware of what they did.” Uncle Vaughn says.None of the Alphas looks happy; they probably don’t want to hear everything again or they don’t believe that the crimes Dezra and Darron committed are enough to result in a death penalty.“I will explain to you how our Succession law works. It has been in place for centuries and has only caused a problem twice in its existence.” Dad says.He explains that the first Royal in a generation who shifts into a Lycan will become th

Dallas’ p.o.v.We will do one more trial today. Well, actually, it is more of a sentencing.None of the Elders or other Shifters present is involved with finding anyone guilty or not; their sole purpose is to tell us what the punishment should be.“This will take a few hours, so I will allow you all to contact your Packs after this is over to inform them that it will be at least a day longer before you can return home. Tomorrow, we will discuss another trial that we need your help with, the sentencing.” Uncle Vaughn says.Charna chuckles when we can see but not hear their annoyance with this announcement.“Quinlan, we are definitely going to keep this as a part of our dealings with Elders and Alphas.” Charna says through the mind-link. This will make everything much easier when dealing with whatever life throws our way in the future.“As you have noticed, the Throne

Dallas’ p.o.v.“We will have a break for lunch, you can all head to the dining room.” Uncle Vaughn says before he walks into the King’s chamber.“He does realize that he didn’t break the orders, right?” Larissa asks through the mind-link and I hear Uncle Vaughn chuckle as Daxton closes the door behind us.I can guarantee you that Uncle Vaughn is well aware of the fact, but I believe that he wants to have a peaceful lunch without anyone talking crap about Larissa.“I don’t want to risk a murder trial, Larissa.” Uncle Vaughn says. “Someone will lose their life if they talk badly about you and Quinlan hears about it. I also don’t want them plotting through their mind-link on how to get rid of you.”Quinlan pulls Larissa closer to him, burying his face in her neck. It takes him a few minutes to calm down and as he lifts his head, Caitli

Quinlan’s p.o.v.Larissa is aware of every word anyone said about her in the dining room, but it doesn’t seem to affect her.We have gathered in the King’s chamber and Dallas has opened the door slightly to hear what is going on in the Throne room.“Our Kingdom can’t have a deaf Queen. He should have rejected her and taken Tammy as his Mate, because she will make an excellent Queen.” We hear Irvine say.“Why can’t we have a deaf Queen?” Elder Venetia asks. “Explain it to me, because I don’t see anything wrong with it.”Many Shifters start talking at once and most of them sound angry, but I can’t tell if it is because of Irvine’s remark or Elder Venetia’s question.“How can she help Quinlan with ruling our Kingdom, if she doesn’t hear what people are telling her or others?” Irvine asks. “A trial will
