I walk into my bedroom and grab my suitcases from the back of my closet, I place them on my bed to start packing the remainder of my belongings. There are only a few sets of clothes left in my closet and only the daily necessities in the bathroom.
Most of the things I want to take with me are already in my suitcases, I made the decision to leave Shadow Valley Pack at my Sweet Sixteen party and I already know where I am going.
I will be going to the Elders, to learn everything I need to learn to become the best Beta I can be and I will find a Pack that will appreciate me for who I am.
My weapons are in the trunk of my car, I take them out every time I need them and place them back after I have cleaned them. All that is left is my luggage and then I will make sure that everyone understands who are responsible for me leaving.
Okay, let’s get introductions out of the way. My name is Dallas, I am eighteen years old and my Lycan, Charna, showed up a year ago. My life hasn’t been a bed of roses and the only reason I stayed this long is the hope of finding my Mate.
Well, we already know that that didn’t go as planned. I am officially done with the people in my life and the leadership of this Pack.
I walk back up to the Alpha floor and to my surprise Nico and Lucy are still at it, but I no longer give a damn.
“Nico, harder.” I hear Lucy moan. “Put a Pup in me, I want you to cum inside me.” I can hear Nico groan, before he yells that he is coming.
I slam open the door and Lucy drops to the floor when Nico pushes her of his cock, startled by my presence. Both making a mess of themselves and the bedroom.
I don’t wait for him to respond, I just turn on my heel and walk down the hallway to the door.
“Please, Dallas. Stop. This is not what it looks like, it just happened.” Nico says, hopping on one leg as he is trying to pull on some sweat pants.
I don’t say anything, I just keep walking down the stairs and I know that Nico and Lucy are right behind me.
Everyone in the main dining room goes quiet the moment they see me walking in and I can hear a few whispers the moment Nico and Lucy walk in behind me, everyone can smell the scent of sex in the air.
“I, Dallas, reject you, Nico, as my Mate.” I say, after I have turned around to look at him.
“I don’t care if you accept it or not. Just know that it won’t stop me from finding my own happiness and you will have to suffer the consequences of not accepting my rejection.” I state.
“Dallas, why are you rejecting our Son?” Alpha Leon asks and I turn around to look at him.
“Because as usual, Lucy wanted what is mine and got it. Your Son fucked Lucy, even though he knew that our Mate-bond was nearly complete and now I know why he didn’t want us to tell anyone.” I say as I look into Alpha Leon’s eyes.
I turn back to Lucy and Nico, he is still staring at me and his hands are pressed against his chest. I don’t feel any pain, but that might change if he accepts my rejection.
“You wanted him, you can have him. You can have everything that was once mine, I hope that the two of you become very happy together and I hope that you enjoy your victory.” I say to Lucy, before I walk past her and out of the main dining room.
“Stop, you can’t leave. You are my Mate.” Nico says and I turn around to see him standing in the doorway.
“I am no longer your Mate, you chose to sleep with her and now you can deal with the consequences. You have always put Lucy before me, just like your family, the Gamma family and even my own Father. You never failed to remind me that you thought that Lucy is prettier than I am.
Our Mate-bond would have made you see that you had been wrong, that you had hurt me with your words and I would have forgiven you, because of our Mate-bond. What I can’t forgive and what I will never forgive, is that you chose to fuck another woman.” I say in a calm, cold voice.
The entire dining room is quiet and everyone is waiting for what is coming next.
“Dallas, there might be a very good explanation…” But I don’t give Alpha Leon the chance to finish his sentence.
“What kind of explanation can your Son have for being buried balls deep in Lucy? Where in this damn universe could this have been an accident?” I growl in his direction.
More Pack-members have gathered in the dining room, all of them curious about the drama unfolding in front of them.
My Father finally gets up from his chair and I am damn curious about what he will have to say.
“Dallas, you are the future Beta. You already have status within Shadow Valley Pack, why not grant Lucy the status of Luna?” My Father says.
Charna is growling in my head, but she keeps to the back of my mind. Neither one of us wants him to know that we already shifted or that we know that he lied about our Mother.
“HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FUCKING MIND? YOU WANT ME TO GIVE LUCY MY MATE, JUST LIKE YOU GAVE HER THE LAST GIFT MOM GAVE ME OR THE FAMILY HEIRLOOM YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME ON MY SIXTEENTH BIRTHDAY.
GET A FUCKING GRIP ON THAT DAMN BRAIN OF YOURS, I HATE YOUR FUCKING GUTS.” I yell at my Father and I take advantage of his shocked state.
“Nico, this is your last chance to accept my rejection. Once I walk out the door, you might never get the chance again.” I state, looking at Nico and it seems to sink in that no one can change my mind.
“I, Nico, accept your rejection.” Nico says, knowing that I will never forgive him.
I walk out of the Pack-house without looking back, I get into my SUV to finally get out of this place and start my new life.
Guardian Quarters“Good morning.” Joshua says as he looks at his Squad and the soon-to-be former Guardians.“Guardians, you swore to protect the Royal family from any kind of harm. I assume that each of you would like a chance to prove that, even if the worst injury you can get is a paper cut.” Joshua says, earning him a few chuckles.He divides the men and women in front of him into three groups. The Guardian’s Captain gets appointed one, Jesper receives the second group and the last group is for Joshua himself.“Each team will search a different part of the Palace, while the Royal family is in a meeting with the Elders. They will try to buy us as much time as they can, but I want you to understand that your time will be limited.You will search your assigned location for anything that could expose the Elders as frauds. Take pictures of the places you find these files or documents,
Dallas’ p.o.v.“Elders, let me make one thing abundantly clear. Your Queen can handle dealing with her family and the household of the Royal wing. No one outside the Royal family will ever get to interfere with our household ever again. This is and will forever be up to the Royal family.” Quinlan speaks, barely containing his anger.My Mates are keeping an eye on the Elders and their reaction to Quinlan’s statement, my eyes are glued to Elder Dawn’s Father. I don’t trust him and I will ensure that he never sets foot in the Palace again for official business.“Prince Quinlan, at the moment, your Father is still our King. It doesn’t matter what your opinion is, we only have to listen to your Father.” Elder Dawn responds.Uncle Vaughn jumps out of his seat and Elder Dawn is lucky that my Mates reacted quickly or Ershin would have ripped her a new asshole.“I bel
Dallas' p.o.v.After one more look at Elder Dawn, I sit down at the breakfast table and start talking to Grandpa about our weekend.I can feel her eyes burning into my back, but I ignore it for now. I want to enjoy my breakfast and a little quiet time before we meet with the Elders.Daxton and Darius will communicate to me through our mind-link what I need to know during the meeting and even Uncle Vaughn will inform me if there is something I need to do.I am surprised when Elder Jensen escorts us to the Throne room, but the moment we step inside, it becomes clear why we aren't having this meeting in the King's Chamber.“Every family member of every Elder is present. Not everyone is content with Mom taking over former Elder Jeff's duties.” Quinlan explains through the mind-link. “They will try to overwhelm you and hope to get you so distracted that you won't back up Dad.”
West WingAs you can imagine, not all Elders were happy with Jeff losing his title or with Queen Eliza taking over his responsibilities.Elder Dawn reached out to her family within minutes after the Royal family walked out of the Chamber. She was furious at the disrespect the Queen showed her family by denying her younger Brother to take over Jeff’s duties.Her Father called a meeting with the Elders, who thought similarly to their family and didn’t want the Royals to have too much power.None of them knew who was responsible for the Royal family to hand over more power to the Elders or why, but they had no intention of handing it back.“How many Elders will back up the Royals if they decide to leave Queen Eliza in charge of the Servants?” Her Father had asked and Elder Dawn couldn’t give him more names than the ones in the room with them.“Princess Dallas will be our biggest
Dallas’ p.o.v.Joshua joins me and Aunt Eliza in the kitchen. I need to inform him about their task for Monday and hopefully, we can keep the Elders occupied for a long time.“I need you to split the Squad into two teams. No, make that three teams. One team to search the library here in the private wing, one to search the library downstairs and one to search the Elder wing.” I tell him as I look at the contents of the fridge.There is more than enough food in here and Aunt Eliza is pulling items from the pantry to increase the availability of food for cooking or baking.“They need to find anything that mentions the duties of the Elders, the power they hold within the Kingdom or how the Elders became a part of our Kingdom. Anything that mentions the Elders will do and they need to be ready to act on Monday morning.” I explain.“On it. Just let me know when the meeting is over.”
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
