Dallas’ p.o.v.
I am walking to the library, I am going there to go over everything we have gathered for the trial and to get away from a certain Pack-member who doesn’t seem to understand that she will never be my friend.
Daxton and Darius take turns in staying with me, we want to make this bond work and only spending time together will accomplish that. I also like having them around, because they make me feel safe and I have missed that most of my life.
I thought I wouldn’t feel comfortable around a man after what Nico did, but Charna was right. They are nothing like Nico, they want this as much as I do and the only reason they aren’t shouting it from the rooftop is their Mother.
A problem I hope to resolve soon and I am glad that I sent Joshua out there in his capacity as second in command of a Squad.
It will take a few days before Joshua and his team will return with Sage, it will take him a
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
