Sorry for the late update, had a busy weekend at work
Dallas’ p.o.v.“If this is a repeating pattern, you have to go back for months or years even and doing that on your own will take a lot of time. Time we could have spent together to let our bond form, so I called in some help.” She states and I don’t think twice as I kiss her.I asked Daxton to link Preston to get him and Pearl to the library, they need to know that there might be a bigger problem than Pearl thought and Preston needs to give the Squad members permission to dive into our finances.Alpha Preston and Luna Pearl walk into the library and Daxton quickly explains what he found, before he tells them about my thoughts on the issue.“Alpha Preston, each of them are Beta children and know how Pack finances work. It will make it easier to use the resources we have than having to teach someone else what they need to look for.” I say.“Dallas, drop the title.” Pearl growls and I smile at her as I nod my head in acknowledgment.Pearl and Preston take my Squad members with them to t
Dallas’ p.o.v.Lunch was spent on the Alpha floor, no one wanted to see Daniella and there is no doubt in my mind that she would make sure she is close to Daxton to keep an eye on him.Daniella needs to ensure that Daxton doesn’t find a connection, so she will take every opportunity she gets to keep an eye on him and report it to Madeline.I am talking with Pearl about the trial as we walk into the main dining room the next morning and every conversation halts at that moment. I look up to see very angry looks on the faces of my Squad members and I understand immediately that someone has been stirring trouble.“What is going on?” I ask while I walk to the closest table with some of my Squad members.“Sorry, Captain. Jesper told us not to bother you, but he had to take Marco and Belinda to the infirmary.” One of them answers and Charna releases a soft growl.“Someone attacked Marco on the patio and Belinda tried to protect him, getting injured herself.” Someone else adds.“Find out who a
Darius’ p.o.v.Mother is standing to the side of the porch with Daniella, scowling at Dallas, who seems oblivious to it.Her Squad members are paying attention and two of them step behind Mother, but they don’t say or do anything. Both men have their arms folded in front of their chest and I recognize Pablo as one of them, his angry eyes focused on Daniella.“Why did you attack Marco?” Dallas asks Laurence, Lara’s baby Brother.Laurence refuses to answer her and keeps his eyes turned to the treeline, but it seems that we will get a lesson in what a Squad Captain within the territory means for all our Pack-members.Camus pushes forward the moment he senses Charna near the surface and Laurence screams bloody murder when she grabs his neck, lifting him off the ground.“Who asked you to attack Marco?” Dallas asks, her face less than an inch away from his face. Her green eye
Dallas’ p.o.v.Something is pulling at the back of my mind, but I can’t get a hold of it and figure out what it might mean.I do understand that our bond shouldn’t be forming this fast and yet it doesn’t feel wrong, it feels right and I hope that we will be able to complete this bond quickly.“Captain, we have finished going over the books. This is really bad, we need to talk to Alpha Preston.” One of my Squad members says through the mind-link, pulling me from my thoughts on my Mate-bond.“Is your office soundproof, Darius?” I ask and I see his eyes darken, causing me to blush. “Not for that, Old Man.”I swat his chest with minimum force, but then again I am trapped between both my Mates and can’t take a good swing at Darius, even if I wanted to.“There is news on the Pack’s finances and it didn’t sound good.” I
Dallas’ p.o.v.Daxton lowers his head to lock his lips with mine, while Darius lies behind me as his hands roam over my arms. His hands slip under the sheet to continue their way down my body and Daxton deepens the kiss even further, my breathing becomes labored from the kiss and Darius’ hands on my body.I moan the moment Daxton’s hand cups my breast through the sheet and I feel his other hand slide down my arm to my hip. His hand grips my hip to pull me closer to his body, I can feel his raging hard-on press against my belly and he moans the moment it rubs against my body.Their hands on my skin is driving me nuts and I moan into Daxton’s mouth as he pinches one of my nipples, my eyes fly open the moment he says next to my ear, “I can smell that you like what we are doing to you.” I see the lust in Daxton’s eyes and my core starts throbbing harder.Daxton’s hand leaves my hip
Darius’ p.o.v.Daxton doesn’t give her time to chance her mind as he lifts her up until she is hovering over my rock-hard shaft, she gasps the moment my cock touches her entrance again and Daxton slowly lowers her over my cock. She places her hands on my chest as she slides down on my cock and the moment I bottom out he releases her hips.My hands help her to glide up and down my cock and I feel Daxton’s hand between our legs to coat his fingers with her juices, just before he slides them up to her ass. Her eyes widen when he pushes two fingers into her ass and I feel them through the thin piece of flesh that separates us.Both of us pick up the pace as one of us slides his cock in and out of her pussy, while the other is pumping his fingers in her ass. She moans louder with every thrust into her body and when Daxton pushes her onto Mylo’s chest she doesn’t object.I can feel Daxton move behind
Daxton’s p.o.v.I am standing on the landing of the Gamma floor, looking down at Pack-members walking in and out of the Pack-house.I shake my head, because something tells me that I shouldn’t be here. I pay closer attention to the Pack-members walking around and I see women that no longer live in our territory, I see children running around that are no longer children.How is this even possible? Why am I reliving the past? My mind is spinning with all the questions I have at the moment and something tells me that I will have more questions before I will start to get answers.“Hello, Darius.” I hear someone say behind me and when I turn around to respond, I see myself walking down the stairs. Seeing myself isn’t the only thing that shocks me, it is Sage standing behind me, looking up at my past self.Like many Pack-members, she was never able to tell us apart and we never corrected her, u
Dallas’ p.o.v.Hearing Daxton scream No is a sound I never want to hear again, there was so much pain and despair in that one word that it nearly broke my heart.He pulls me into his arms the moment he looks at me and I can feel myself and Charna calm down with his arms around us. Darius lies down next to us, his hand moving around my lower back and his other hand is lying on Daxton’s head.We stay like that for a while and then a knock on the door interrupts our peaceful moment, Darius gets up to see who it is.“Joshua returned from his errand and we have a pissed off Alpha downstairs.” I hear Jesper say and I know that we need to deal with this immediately.“We will be down in a minute, Jesper.” I call out to him and I can hear him walk away from our room.“Daxton, I need you to keep a level head when we get downstairs. You will get your revenge today and everyone wil
Dallas’ p.o.v.Princess Dezra isn’t comfortable answering my questions. The big question is whether she knows I am on to something.No one has mentioned my name, so I doubt she will see the rest of my questioning coming. She probably believes that she covered her tracks and that no one can uncover the truth.“You found your connection with Prince Darron about seventeen years ago and have two children. Is that correct?” I ask while I keep looking at her.“Yes, that is correct.” Princess Dezra answers and I see a sad look in King Vaughn’s eyes.I hate where this meeting will lead, but I swore to uphold the Law under all circumstances.“Your Majesty, can you explain why this subject makes you sad?” I ask, not taking my eyes off Princess Dezra. I want to see her reaction to his answer, even though I already know what that reaction will be like.“My Sister miscarried her first pregnancy, it took her a few years to recover from it. She returned home when she felt that she could handle whate
Beta Dezra’s p.o.v.Why can’t my Brother leave the Laws and trials alone? Why does he need to listen to those damn Elders?If someone looks in the wrong direction, I am going to lose everything I have worked so hard for. I never meant for anything bad to happen to my family, but I had to make a few tough decisions and I still don’t regret them.“Good morning. Is everyone ready for this meeting with the Elders?” Vaughn asks as he walks into our private dining room.“Why does everyone have to be present?” I ask. I have gone over it, but I can’t find an explanation as to why the Elders want a meeting with the entire Royal family.“Elder Jensen wants to get the input of this kingdom's future leadership and at the moment, we have no idea who will be the next Beta or Gamma. I think it will be good for all our children to experience a meeting with the Elders, future leadership or not.” Vaughn answers.Elder Jensen has a point. Quinlan is the only one who shifted into a Lycan and it might tak
Dallas’ p.o.v.Elder Venetia is waiting for us at the Palace. She leads us to the Throne room, where the Royal family and the Elders are waiting for us. She turns to face me outside the door and gestures for us to stay.“Jensen managed to get everyone in the Throne room, even every other Royal family member. Once I go inside, we need you to wait two minutes and then you can walk in. King Vaughn will have given the order by then.” Elder Venetia says.I look at her retreating figure and let her words run through my head. In a few hours, the entire Royal family will know the truth soon; the cold and ugly truth.My Squad walks into the Throne room to spread around it and seal off any exits. Once everyone is in place, Joshua gives me the all clear and I walk into the Throne room. Daxton and Darius walk on either side of me, both holding one of my hands to show me their support.“Which one of you is related to former Elder Ronald?” I ask as I walk further into the Throne room.To my left, an
Dallas’ p.o.v.I listen to Elder Jensen as he explains what he and Elder Venetia have uncovered so far and the more I hear, the more I realize that even the Royal family has secrets.Centuries ago, the Elders were chosen to keep the Royal family honest and ensure they didn’t put themselves above the Laws. It seems we need to clean house within the Elders; some have become too comfortable with their powers or at least the powers they think they have.I am not saying that each Elder is guilty of bending the rules to their favor or hiding information that is important to the Royal family and every Shifter in this Kingdom.“How do you plan on bringing this to King Vaughn’s attention, Dallas?” Elder Jensen asks.He knows I want to bring this out in the open because it concerns me more than anyone else, but we need a solid plan to get this in front of the Royal family and the Elders.“Our best option is to make it a meeting between the Elders and our Leadership about trial changes. You can a
Elder Jensen’s p.o.v.Venetia and I are slowly connecting the dots; this has been an elaborate ruse to keep us from finding the truth.We know that the deceit started after Dyala left the Palace and her Father discovered the truth about the necklace. However, we never got an answer to the question: Why did the Luna of Silver Eclipse Pack tell Dyala to take the necklace?We haven’t found a single report that deals with that part of the story; it almost looks like it was kept from the records on purpose. What would we uncover if we had an answer to that question?I decided to leave that question for another time and to concentrate on finding out which Elder hid the truth about Dyala. After all, hiding the truth didn’t change anything in the end; Dyala didn’t want to return to the Palace.My Grandfather had been forced to stay home, my Grandmother was going through a terribly difficult pregnancy and the King ordered him to stay with his Mate and unborn child. My Uncle was their second chi
Dallas’ p.o.v.Preston called Alpha Aaron of Iron Moon Pack. I want to read the file on Dyala and her Mate, and Alpha Aaron is the only one who can give me permission to do so.I could ask the Elders, but that would involve informing them about why I want to read that file.My suspicions are not confirmed yet and I might have everything backward. Dyala’s file might give me the answers or they could prove me wrong.The five of us drive over to Iron Moon Pack and Alpha Aaron is waiting for us at the front door of the Pack-house.“Preston, it's good to see you again. I have everything you requested in my office; please follow me.” Alpha Aaron says after Preston introduces us all.We follow him into his office and I am surprised to see that his Beta and Gamma are absent.“They won’t be joining us. Only my family and the family of Dyala’s fated Mate know that the story is true; other Pack-members believe it is a made-up bedtime story. The family members of both families have to be eighteen
King Vaughn’s p.o.v.Two things have been on my mind ever since the trial, one is that damn picture from the broken necklace. It looks so familiar, but I can’t tell you what it is. The other thing is Captain Dallas; there is also something familiar about her.Quinlan has been following me around ever since he turned eighteen. He will take over the Throne from me someday. I even discussed my thoughts with him, but he couldn’t help me to find some answers.Like the rest of my sons, he was impressed with Dallas’ work. She came well-prepared, but after reviewing the case again, we realized that the pictures and footage of the doll and necklace weren’t attached. Everything else was there and for a moment, we thought she accidentally forgot to attach it to the file.My oldest Son, Weston, pointed out that it was never in the file and had been shown from a separate location. According to him, this means that she never intended to attach that data to the file.My Mate pointed out that she woul
Scarlet Crescent Territory“Dad, I need all the information you have on Princess Dyala. I want to know who gave us which information and if it was thoroughly checked.” Elder Venetia says as she walks into her house.Her Mate knows something is wrong and walks up the stairs to a hidden room they use as an office. They built it shortly after moving into the house, at his Father in law’s suggestion.Every member of Venetia’s family swore to protect Dyala and her bloodline; the only reason that she and Jensen are still members of the Elders is due to Venetia’s Father. He told King Vaughn that decades of information would be lost if they were no longer members of the Elders.It takes an hour to get every family member to join them. Venetia is pacing the floor while waiting for the last person to arrive.“I received this file from Alpha Preston of Silver Eclipse Pack. This is a file on Dyala’s stay within their territory and how they discovered what the necklace had done to Dyala.” Venetia s
Darius’ p.o.v.We had a restless night; at first, we all struggled to fall asleep due to the extensive information we received from Elder Jensen. After we finally did fall asleep, Dallas woke up to reveal that Charna had felt a pull toward the Royal family during the trial.Charna hadn’t mentioned it, because she didn’t understand why or where it came from. Now that she had more information it confirmed what we all suspected: Princess Dezra is Dallas’ Mother.“If she is your Mother, how are you going to reveal it to King Vaughn?” Daxton asks while we go through our morning routine.Dallas doesn’t say anything, but she doesn’t have to; it is clear to see that she is thinking of an answer. I’m unsure if I could come up with a way to explain this to King Vaughn; it doesn’t really concern me.“I am going to ask Elder Jensen to set up a meeting with the Elde
