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.
Daxton’s p.o.v.Okay, this just made my day. I loved the look on his face when he heard my age, but seeing the look on his face when Dallas mentioned that we are both her Mate is priceless.Walker continues to make demands to take over the Beta position from Dezra, but Uncle Vaughn is growing increasingly tired of his demands and I can’t wait to hear what he will say next.“Beta Walker, I am not giving you the Beta position. Dallas and her Mates will take over that position and that is final. If I ever catch you at the gate again, you will spend a week in the dungeons. I will also report this to Alpha Leon and suggest that he relieve you of your duties as his Beta.” Uncle Vaughn says.I doubt anyone had seen that last part coming. However, I can’t blame Uncle Vaughn for putting it out there.Walker is a disgrace, not only as a Beta, but also as a Father. Someone should have dealt with him
Dallas' p.o.v.I'm resting my head on Darius' shoulder as I look through a file. It is a file from a few weeks after Dezra returned to the Palace and from what I can tell, she never did anything with the issue stated in the report.Daxton takes the file from my hand after I tell him where to place it. It will take some time to review all these files and categorize them by year.“What the hell did Dezra do?” Darius asks and we all shrug our shoulders. None of us has an idea of what she was doing or thinking during her time as the Royal Beta; any guess could be the right one.A knock on the door pulls my attention from the file in my hand and I see a pissed off Joshua standing in the doorway.“Sorry to disturb, Captain. There is someone at the gate to see you, but he refuses to give a name. From the description I have gotten, I am assuming it is your Father.” Joshua says.Dariu
Dallas’ p.o.v.I wake up to someone calling out my name in a soft voice and it takes me a few seconds to realize that Darius is still on the video call from last night.“Did you sleep at all?” I ask, once I have located the phone, to place my head on Daxton’s chest while looking at the phone.“I did sleep and better than I had expected. I think hearing you in the background made it possible, but I can’t be sure and no, I am not ever going to find out.” He answers my question.I smile at him when I realize that he means he hated being away from me and will never let that happen again. We speak softly to one another to avoid waking Daxton. I love how they make me feel and I’m glad I found my second connection with them.“I am going to get ready, see you in a few hours.” Darius says before he breaks the connection.I close my eyes to enjoy the quiet of the room and let myself get wrapped in the warmth of my Mate,
Darius’ p.o.v.Camus and I have been in a mood ever since we left the Palace. Neither one of us likes to be away from our Mate and she hasn’t been in our lives that long.Preston and Pearl have been silent since we got into the SUV and I know that Pearl is going to rip me a new one the moment we arrive at the Alpha office or on the Alpha floor.What I didn’t expect was to find the majority of our Pack-members at the Pack-house, nor was I expecting their facial expressions. Some of them look pissed off, while others look happy and I don’t know what to make of it.Rayden and Ruby are waiting for us on the front porch, but both of them are more preoccupied with our Pack-members than they are with the SUV approaching the Pack-house.“Rayden has been running damage control ever since the Elder finished his speech. Some Pack-members believe that Dallas should release your Mother and save her from a death sentence.” Pearl sa
Dallas’ p.o.v.Why do people believe they can look down on others?I never asked for anything that happened to me in my childhood, but I didn’t take it out on others. I didn’t believe that someone owed me something, because my Father was an Asshole.Anyone can have a bad day and say or do something that isn’t normal for them, but to act as if someone is beneath you because of their rank or job is ludicrous. To act as if the world owes you for whatever damn reason is right behind it.“Can we sit in on that meeting?” I whisper to Quinlan because I really want to hear what Elder Jeff has to say for himself and hopefully find out if more Elders share the same sentiment.“Yes, even if I have to demand it. I want the Elders to represent the Shifters in our Kingdom and not to determine who is entitled to what information.” Quinlan responds.We are sifting through the fil
Dallas’ p.o.v.Daxton and I follow Uncle Vaughn back to our private wing in the Palace. He is going to show us where the Guardians are housed and the offices that will belong to me and Joshua.The first floor of the wing holds all the offices for the King, the Queen, the Royal Beta, the Royal Gamma and the Guardians’ Captain. There are several meeting rooms of varying sizes, as well as a kitchen with a dining area.We skipped it when we arrived yesterday, because Uncle Vaughn wanted me to spend as much time with the family as possible.“We have a similar setup on the ground floor, which we use for any appointment we have with an Elder or a Pack’s leadership. This office will be your private office where you can work without getting disturbed by anyone. A closed door means no entry and if someone needs you, they will link you or knock on the door.” Uncle Vaughn explains.He unlocks the doo
