Dallas wishes she could travel back in time. She would prevent her six year old self from wandering into the forest and keep her from finding Lucy. Unfortunately, she did wander off and she did find Lucy. From that very first day, Lucy takes or gets what belongs to Dallas. Her favorite doll, the last gift from her Mother. Her dress for the Scarlet Ball, she bought with money she had earned herself. Her Mother's necklace, a family heirloom. Dallas has put up with all of it, because everyone keeps reminding her of the fact that Lucy has no one and nothing. Dallas swears revenge on the day she finds her Mate in bed with Lucy. Shadow Valley Pack will regret pushing Dallas aside for Lucy.
View MoreDallas’ p.o.v.I am lying in bed between my Mates, staring up at the ceiling.Daxton and Darius did an excellent job of keeping me distracted, but the moment they fell asleep, my mind started racing again.Charna has been quiet since we heard that our Mother wasn’t dead. She must realize that we have information in our mind that can answer a few questions. All we need to do is find the pieces and put the puzzle back together.I shoot straight up at the memory that Charna is showing me and I am already halfway to the door when I realize that I don’t want to do this on my own.“Daxton.” I call out as I shake his shoulder to wake him up. Darius is the first to open his eyes and without asking questions, he gets out of bed after knocking Daxton on the head.“What?” Daxton asks as he sits up in bed and when he sees me standing next to him, he smiles. “You figured somet
Dallas’ p.o.v.“I have no memories of my Mother; she died before my fourth birthday, according to Walker. He always said that she was an Omega Wolf, but we know that it was a lie. She was a Lycan and if I have to believe the information from Elder Jensen, she was a high-ranking Lycan.” Dallas whispers.“That is correct. Only a high-ranking female Lycan can produce a Wolf or a Lycan; any female Lycan of a lower rank than a Gamma will produce Wolves if her Mate is a Wolf.” Pearl confirms.“I haven’t taken the time to read the rest of the book that Elder Jensen gave me. Is there anything else I need to know about the difference between Wolves and Lycans?” I ask.Rayden points out the obvious differences: height, strength and speed. I already know those differences, but it's nice to hear him discuss them in detail.“There is a huge difference between them that Lycans d
Darius’ p.o.v.Dallas is snuggled up against my side, her legs tangled with Daxton’s, and we both smile at her soft, little snores.She barely slept last night because of this damn trial and it was clear that she was exhausted as we walked back to the SUVs. Her Squad had us all boxed in, ensuring that no one could reach their Captain if someone wanted to try something.“I like this new type of trial. I could have done without the news that the little Bitch is her half Sister.” Ruth says with a smirk on her face.Pearl turns around to look at Ruth, who is sitting in the row behind us with Rayden. Her eyes slowly move to Dallas and I can see the questions running through her mind.“Do you think her Mother was a Lycan?” Pearl suddenly asks and Preston swears as the words sink in.“She had to be; that Shithat is a Wolf.” Rayden responds. “The question is, what r
King Vaughn has had a nagging feeling in the back of his head; it started halfway through the trial, but he can’t wrap his head around it.“Dad, what is wrong?” Quinlan asks, knowing his Father is trying to piece something together.“I'm not sure; it's something I just can’t grasp yet. Perhaps, after we discuss this matter or after a good night’s sleep, I will understand what my mind is trying to tell me.” King Vaughn answers his Son.King Vaughn sits down at the head of the table in the meeting room. Every Elder quickly finds a seat because they are curious about their King’s thoughts on this trial; it is the first of its kind, after all.“Elders, you have asked me over the years to re-think our trials. I never felt the need to make a change because I felt that no Alpha would consider lying to me or twisting the truth. You all have Crown Prince Quinlan to thank for the change of heart; he felt that we
Dallas’ p.o.v.“Beta Walker wouldn’t be allowed to take the Beta position; our main Law won’t allow it.” King Vaughn answers. “If he kept that from his Alpha, he wouldn’t just lose the Beta position; he would also be banished from the territory. No Pack will ever accept him; they are not allowed to.”I hand the file in my hand over to King Vaughn and after a quick glance at it, his head snaps towards me.“Are you kidding, Captain Dallas?” He asks me, but all I can do is shake my head. “Beta Walker is Lucy’s Father.”The file in King Vaughn’s hand is projected on the screen and everyone can read the truth. Lucy is two years my senior and our birthdays are six months apart. A week before Lucy showed up in Shadow Valley territory, her Mother had died after battling cancer for years.A third slide is shown on the screen, a statement from L
Dallas’ p.o.v.Charna has been lying in the back of my head, keeping an eye on the Royal family.Now that I get to tell everyone about the rest of my case, she sits up in my head and is ready to make herself known if anyone causes trouble.“As I just mentioned, my Father gave one of my dolls to Lucy. The one my Mother gave to me before she died and you might understand that I didn’t want to part with it. What upset me the most about it wasn’t my Father giving that doll to her or ignoring my pleas. No, it was the fact that Lucy destroyed the doll.” I say, before the screen lights up again.It is footage from behind the Pack-house and I am so glad that it also has audio. Does he really think he can get me to forgive him so easily? We hear Lucy say as she stops next to the garbage can and pulls my doll into three pieces. I will ruin their happy little family and take everything that sh
Daxton’s p.o.v.The day we have been waiting for is finally here; today, King Vaughn will hold a new type of trial and we all hope that it will benefit Packs more than the old trial.Preston had to reenact a trial to make us understand how the old trial worked and he decided to do it in front of all our Pack-members. Well, at least for the ones that weren’t on border patrol.We all agreed that this type of trial was unfair to the majority of the Shifters involved and when Dallas had explained how the new trial would go, we realized that it dealt with the issue from more sides than just that of the Alpha.“Alphas, thank you all for coming to the Palace. Most of you have no idea what is going to happen today, but I am confident that each of you will appreciate the efforts of the Elders to make a few changes to our Laws.” Elder Venetia says.We follow her to the King’s chamber and I can see
At the PalaceAlpha Leon is patiently waiting for his appointment with King Vaughn; his family is waiting in their suite with Walker and Lucy.Elder Zariah had contacted him a few days ago to inform him that there was a slight chance that there wouldn’t be a verdict after the hearing. King Vaughn had an obligation he probably couldn’t get out of, but they were doing their best to move that obligation to a later date.To make it up to Alpha Leon, his family and his Beta were invited to come along. Lucy was asked to come as well, because she was involved in the hearing and the invitation was accepted by everyone with enthusiasm.“Alpha Leon, my apologies for keeping you waiting. King Vaughn is ready to see you.” Elder Jensen says as he stops in front of Alpha Leon.Alpha Leon isn’t too happy to see the Elder again; after all he was the one who didn’t warn him about the cancellation.
Dallas’ p.o.v.I wake up to the best thing ever: the arms of my Mates wrapped around me.After Nico, I never thought I would get another connection. History had shown that getting a second connection could take years, sometimes even decades and I found mine over a year after I rejected Nico.There was one thing I wouldn’t get with this Mate-bond, an entire new family. And somehow, it doesn’t bother me as much as I thought it would; I have my Mates and their friends, which will be enough.I remember being in Daxton’s arms, softly talking to Darius and falling asleep. I want to wake up like this for the rest of my life; this is what I have always wanted, my Mates by my side and a career I can be proud of.“Good thing that Nico was an Ass.” Charna says in my head and I look at her with my head tilted to the right.“If he hadn’t slept with Lucy, we wouldn
Even 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 te...
