View MoreEven before I am fully awake, I know that this is going to be a day from hell and I have had enough of those in my life.
If just one more thing in my life goes wrong, I am out of here and I will never set foot in this territory again.
“Did the bond form?” I ask Charna, my Lycan, if it did it will make my day better or at least I hope so.
“It did form.” She replies, but her tone of voice tells me that something is wrong.
I turned eighteen a week ago and found a connection with the future Alpha, Nico, one of the people on my list for hurting me, over and over again.
No, he never hit me and neither did anyone else.
Okay, maybe I need to explain something for you to understand what I am talking about.
On my sixth birthday I had been at the lake with my Father, who is our Pack’s Beta, and the Alpha and Gamma family. I had gotten bored with the games they were playing and I had wandered off in to the forest, most of our territory is forest.
I knew to keep an eye out for the markings that tell us where our borders are and I had been picking wild flowers as I was walking around. A soft whimper had gotten my attention and being the curious little Beta, I had gone looking for the source.
If only I had known that one day I would come to hate my sixth birthday, I might have walked in the opposite direction.
I had found a girl in the forest, later it turned out that she was just a little older than me and I had taken her to our Alpha.
Her name was Lucy, but she hadn’t been able to tell us how she had gotten here or where she had come from. She did know that her birthday had just been a few days ago or would be in a few days and that had been the first time that she had gotten something that was mine.
“You have so many dolls, why don’t you give one to Lucy?” my Father had asked and as I had thought about which doll to gift her, I had nodded my head.
My Father had grabbed my favorite doll from the picnic blanket and as I had objected to it, my Father had already given it to Lucy.
I had tried to explain to my Father that I didn’t want to part with that specific doll, but he had just said that I was being selfish and he had placed Lucy next to him on the blanket.
Lucy had lived on the first floor with the Omegas for about a week, when my Father had moved Lucy to our floor. He had said that Lucy didn’t like living with the Omegas and she had asked my Father if she could come live with us.
I doubt now a days that she used the word “us” back then, but I wasn’t there when she had asked and there for I can’t be sure.
Every birthday I had was overshadowed by Lucy, my Father always telling me that she didn’t have parents to throw her a party and I could just share my party with Lucy.
This happened again and again and again, not only due to my Father but also due to the Alpha and Gamma family. Nico was the worst and he would always remind me that Lucy was much prettier than me, at least in his eyes.
So, know you might understand why Nico is on my shitlist.
I train every single day, I have to because I am the future Beta. Well, I was the future Beta and now I am going to be the future Luna.
Nico had been as surprised as me, but he wanted to form a bond with me. After all the Goddess had put the connection there and we needed to respect her decision.
Lucy hadn’t been to happy with it, she had been trying to get Nico’s attention for almost a year now and had failed miserably. She even went out of her way to make sure I knew that she would never accept me as a Luna and I had just laughed in her face.
Being Nico’s Mate will make me the Luna and there is nothing Lucy can do about it, even though she might try.
I have gone through my morning routine and I am rinsing the dishes that I used for breakfast. I hardly ever eat breakfast in the main dining room, because I am usually training during that time.
I see that the door to the master bedroom is wide open and that means that my Father is already downstairs, probably an early morning meeting with the rest of our leadership.
“Why are you so quiet?” I ask Charna, this should be a joyous day for both of us.
She doesn’t answer me, but the moment I leave the Beta floor she starts pacing in my head and she forces me to head up to the Alpha floor. I enter the floor by using the code I was given after I turned sixteen and I am met with complete silence.
Seems I was right about the early morning meeting and Nico is using it to sleep in, just like he does every time his parents are preoccupied or absent.
I hadn’t made any plans with Nico, even though we knew that today would probably be the day that our Mate-bond would be completed. Charna doesn’t understand why we didn’t make any plans and to tell you the truth neither do I.
My steps falter as I stand in front of Nico’s bedroom door and I am glad that our bond hadn’t formed earlier. If it had and we had accepted one another as a Mate, I would be in excruciating pain right now.
Because the Asshole is fucking another female, the sounds coming from his room don’t leave any room for errors and I am not sure what to do right now.
“Is this why he didn’t want to tell anyone just yet?” Charna asks me and I think we both know that that is exactly the reason.
“Ohh, Lucy. That feels so good.” I hear Nico groan, but it is the name he called that has made me furious and I can barely manage to keep myself from bursting in. I need to find away to expose those two and slowly I make my way out of the Alpha floor, back to my own room without shedding a tear.
I am going to make them pay for what they did and everyone will know about our connection, but it ends today.
Dallas’ p.o.v.I wake up in the morning, sandwiched between both my Mates. My head is on Daxton’s chest, while I have one of Darius’ legs locked in place with my own.Both of them are still fast asleep and I take a moment to let the issue we have to deal with today run through my mind. It is a mess, alright. We can’t leave the Pack without an Alpha, so finding his replacement is a must.“Are you awake, Sis?” I hear Benton ask through the mind-link and I smile at the endearment.Benton and Dave have talked a lot with Aunt Eliza and me, hoping they will tell us everything their parents put them through. We only manage to get bits and pieces out of them, but I will never give up trying to get the full story out of them.“Yes, I am.” I answer him. “Need me for something, little bro?”“Just want to talk and Dave is still
Dallas' p.o.v.I smile at Uncle Vaughn, who keeps glaring at me and I know he expects a complete answer.“Their succession law is the same as that of Shadow Valley Pack. I had them double check the Archive to see if you ever met Luke's Father for a chance to their succession law, but you didn't.” I answer him.“Luke wasn't allowed by law to accept his connection with Joshilyn and he couldn't take over with a chosen Mate. Damn, the boy was screwed either way.” Daxton says.He is right. Even if Luke had convinced Joshilyn to give him a second chance, he would have been forced to break their connection, as he had gotten another woman pregnant.“Does Luke have a sibling who can take over?” Uncle Vaughn asks.“ Yes, they are still searching for him. He vanished four years ago and no one has heard from him since. His case was also in the Beta office.” I answer.
Quinlan’s p.o.v.I keep Larissa close to my side, but I don’t have to worry about her not being able to follow this small trial.There isn’t much to it, because all the evidence was already in our possession and we reviewed it all before leaving the Palace. We were even able to find their Pack-law and handing over the title to the second-born violated that law.We are back on the road before lunch and Mom calls the next hotel to inform them of our eta. We are ahead of schedule, and the staff needs some time to finalize the last details for our arrival.Everett walks into the suite that the three of us will share and heads straight into the bedroom on the right, before crossing the room to check out the other two bedrooms.“This one has a bathtub, Larissa. Do you want to use it before or after dinner?” He asks as he looks at her.I forgot for a moment that no one else is around and
Dallas’ p.o.v.I have never stayed in hotels before, but I can understand the appeal of them.No hotel owner wants to risk losing the business the Royal family can provide; therefore, they will never mention when the Royals are staying with them.After an early breakfast, everyone and everything get back into the SUVs and our convoy starts driving toward Night Wind Pack. Our third issue to resolve and this one can be resolved as quickly as we dealt with Grey Ridge Pack.Another Squad will meet us half an hour away from our destination. They will stay behind to help maintain the peace after the changes we will impose on their leadership.“How long do you think Uncle Vaughn will wait before stepping down?” Daxton asks.“I don’t know. It won’t change anything for us, as we will remain in our current position.” I answer him, but I know it isn’t the answer he is lookin
Dallas’ p.o.v.After everyone else has walked into their suites, I take the stairs to the floor below.“Everyone out in the hallway.” I call out as I close the door behind me. It is a matter of seconds before everyone is lined up, just as I expected.“You may have seen it before we entered the hotel and I am here to confirm it. Prince Quinlan found his connection.” I announce. Not everyone was out of their SUV when Quinlan carried Larissa into the hotel and they were on the first elevator up.“Your job has gotten a little more complex. Larissa is deaf and needs an open mind-link to hear what is being said around her. I need three volunteers to become her ears. You will ensure that one of you is with her at all times.” I inform them.Three women, whom I have gotten close to during my training, step forward. Larissa couldn’t have asked for a better group to help her out an
Larissa’s p.o.v.I am still in a state of shock. My head is still spinning from everything that happened and I haven’t left the territory yet.Holding Quinlan’s hand calms my nerves down and I am relieved to know that Quinlan understands how to keep me a part of what is going on around me.I never expected to tell anyone how they made me feel, but with Leia’s strength, I managed to do just that and it felt damn good to show them how much their behavior hurt me.Caitlin will be a part of my life again and I will never have to deal with my family on my own again.I see the doors open and in seconds, King Vaughn and a few others have taken their seats.Quinlan opens his mind-link to me, so I can hear what is being said and respond if someone asks me a question.“Did you find out who Alpha Derek banished?” King Vaughn asks and I hear Queen Eliza tell him about her conversa
