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 look around the room at my family and I realize that if I were to die tonight, I would die a happy woman.Trion, Everett's Lycan, lies curled up in front of the fireplace, and the Grandchildren are climbing over him as if he were a jungle gym. Charna joins him sometimes, but only when we are in the garden and the sun is out.“You okay, Little One?” Darius asks as he sits on the floor in front of me.“I am fine, Old Man. I enjoy these moments with our family and sometimes I wish that we didn't have a Kingdom to think about.” I answer.As I listen to the noises around me and watch the Grandkids running around the living room, my mind starts to wander.In the thirty-something years that Quinlan was King, we visited Shadow Valley Pack at least once a year. The first year was the most memorable one, because Nico was furious with Lucy for not giving him the Beta position.
Dallas’ p.o.v.I lean back in my chair as I see the Alphas and Lunas walk in with their Pack-members for another trial.After witnessing hundreds of these trials, I still enjoy them every time one takes place. Today, we have a trial involving Shadow Valley Pack and I can’t wait to hear the Alpha’s side of the story.Okay, you are probably not interested in hearing about this trial, at least not until you understand how we got to this point.Quinlan and Larissa ruled our Kingdom for over thirty years and waited until my Grandson was five years old before handing over the Throne to Rani.Yes, my Daughter was the first to shift into a Lycan at the age of seventeen. Basil jumped for joy when he turned into a Wolf the day before Rani shifted and he has been focused on the law ever since.Everett’s firstborn was also a girl and the second to shift into a Lycan at the age of seventeen, making Melika our Royal Beta. Landon’s firstborn was also a girl and the third to shift at the age of seven
Dallas’ p.o.v.I smile as Marshall’s little hands slip from the straps of my dress while he drifts off to sleep and I quickly but carefully turn him in my arms.Daxton takes him from my arms as I follow Quinlan to the stage with Everett right behind me.Larissa is already waiting on the stage for us; she had been guided to her seat by Aunt Eliza, as Quinlan didn’t want her to be on her feet longer than necessary.I am listening as Uncle Vaughn denounces the throne and as he does, our Guardians move into position.If anyone wanted to make a move against the Royal family, this would be the perfect time. For a few minutes, our Kingdom is without a ruler and therefore, it is the best opportunity to try and make a move to take over the throne.Our Guardians have been rehearsing this event for months, considering every possible scenario.Once Quinlan is crowned as King, the primary threat will be over. However, each position taken over today will involve some kind of risk, except perhaps mi
Dallas’ p.o.v.I growl a little louder this time. I am done with being a Human pincushion.“Aunt Eliza, is this absolutely necessary?” I ask her as I look in the mirror to see Tyana stifling a smile.“You already know the answer to that question, Dallas. You need to follow protocol and that means wearing a dress.” Aunt Eliza responds.I know that she is right, but wearing a dress all day sucks. I've developed my own style over the past five years, and I only wear a dress when I have no other choice- and even then, it's after a lot of arguing.“Mommy. Mommy. Look.” I hear Rani, my almost five year old Daughter, say as she walks into the room.In the reflection of the mirror, I watch as she walks towards me in her bright pink ball gown. Behind her is Basil, Quinlan's almost five year old Son and he is wearing a little black tuxedo.“Oh, my. I thought that Qui
Quinlan’s p.o.v.Brogan has been bugging me for the past hour, and no matter what I tell him, he won’t let me get back to sleep.I am still half asleep, but I'm aware that Larissa is having restless sleep. I pull her closer to soothe her, hoping that will be enough to settle Brogan down again, but it's only a second before I notice a strange scent.A thought pops up in my head and I immediately understand why Brogan is reluctant to go back to sleep.Larissa is carrying our child, and she will likely wake up to her first bout of morning sickness soon. I get out of bed to open the door to the bathroom, but before I can get back in bed, Larissa shoots up straight.“Come on. Let’s get to the bathroom.” I say as I help her off the bed and I pull her hair back as she bends over toward the toilet. My other hand moves up and down her back, while I keep telling her that things will be fin
Dallas’ p.o.v.It has been almost a year since Everett shifted into a Lycan and we have been taking over more duties from Uncle Vaughn and Aldon, our Royal Gamma.They'd like to spend a bit more time with their Mates and we get a sense of the day-to-day business we'll need to handle in a few years. I don’t like every aspect of my job and I am grateful for the patience my Mates have to explain certain issues to me.“Where are we heading today?” Daxton asks as we get into the SUV and the soft growl I give him is warning enough.Charna and I don’t like our task for the day. If I could avoid the Moron we are visiting today, I would.“Yellow Dawn Pack.” Our driver mumbles. He doesn’t like going there either and I see his Mate placing his hand in his, trying to calm him down.It has been over six months since we visited Yellow Dawn Pack and today we head back to have a
