Darius’ p.o.v.

The past six months have flown by and it has been a hell of a ride to say the least.

Mother brought up the Alpha Ceremony almost every other day and at the same time she would bring up Daniella.

Daxton lasted two weeks before he and Cyran blew up at Mother and neither one of them has set foot in the Pack-house since.

Mother’s banishment from the Pack-house didn’t do any good either, because she just made sure that she was near the Pack-house to sprout her nonsense. Even Pack-members that used to side with her, are now avoiding her and walk in the opposite direction when they see her.

Daniella is no better than Mother, but she knows when to keep her mouth shut and when to make a remark on her joining us at the Ceremony. Not that it is helping her, Pearl refuses to have her trade places with someone and Preston is backing Pearl in her decision.

“Is everything ready for our trip to Shadow Valley Pack?” Preston asks.

“Yeah, everyone has brought their suitcase to the Pack-house and they have already placed them in the SUVs. No matter what happens, we are all prepared for this Alpha Ceremony.” Daxton answers.

There is enough room for anyone that we need to bring back with us and everyone has a suitcase with them, just in case they are heading for another Pack.

It will take about a week to let a connection form into a true Mate-bond and each Alpha that will attend the Ceremony will make sure that those connections form into a true Mate-bond. It is what every Shifter wants and almost every Alpha will make sure that they spend enough time together.

Daxton and I doubt that we will find our connection at the Ceremony, but we will never give up on finding it and Camus is making sure I never forget.

“Get in, Darius or we are leaving without you,” Daxton calls out and I flip him the bird as I get into the SUV.

Pearl made sure that we kept to the dress code, but she also made sure that the tradition was upheld. She ordered us new black ties with our Pack’s emblem in bright pink. Daxton had looked at her as if she had lost her mind until she pointed out the dress code for the Ceremony.

“Still thinking about setting it on fire, once this day is over?” I ask and everyone knows who I am asking the question.

“Hell, Yes. This is a monstrosity and I have no intention of keeping it somewhere in my closet.” Preston growls.

The rest of the journey is spent with banter back and forth about the ties and what to do with them once this day is over. Daxton wants to toss it out the window on the way home, Pearl wants us to wear it on any Sweet Sixteen in the Pack and Preston is objecting to that idea in a very loud voice.

“Oh, Fuck.” I hear Pearl say and I look out the front window to see what has made my Luna swear.

There are lines with little flags in bright pink with their Pack emblem in black on them, there are rows of those little flags everywhere you look and on the side of the road that leads to the Pack-house, there are large hearts in bright pink with the names Nico and Lucy on them in black lettering.

The venue behind the Pack-house is even worse and many of the guests are making whispered comments about it.

“Why is there a Squad from the Elders walking around?” Pearl asks and another Luna answers her question.

“They are here for a learning experience, the Elders do this more often and I must say that it is good for them to see how an event like this works.” She says and Pearl is nodding her head at the Luna’s answer.

Their gear is tailor-made for each member of the Squad, it is an almost completely black outfit and it has red accents along the sides of the arms and legs. You can only see them on their arms if their coat is off and so far I haven’t seen anyone wearing their coat.

On the chest of their shirt and coat is an insignia and it shows how far they are within the ranks. Those that have just started out have no marking on their chest, those that made Warrior have a combination of a star and a wing in a circle on their chest.

There are five ranks within the Warriors, if you are a second-ranked Warrior there is a star above the circle and with each rank that you go up, you gain another star. The maximum is four stars above the circle and if you manage to make Squad Captain, it will be underneath the circle.

Making it very easy for everyone to see where you stand within the ranks of the Renegades and looking around I don’t see anyone without a star on their insignia.

There is an equal amount of men and women in this Squad, but I haven’t seen their Captain yet. Whoever is leading this Squad is a force to be reckoned with and I can see his second and third in command not far from Elder Jensen.

Their insignia has four red stars instead of black stars and the second in command has a red circle instead of a black circle. It is always good to know how things work in a Pack or within the Renegades, most Packs don’t teach their children the correct way anymore and information has gotten lost.

Alpha Leon steps onto the stage and everyone goes quiet to listen to his speech, not that he seems very comfortable to me. He keeps looking at the Renegades and at Elder Jensen, but none of them make a move to silence him.

“Darius, behind us,” Daxton says and I lock eyes with a very pissed off Squad Captain, she strides towards the stage with determination. I keep looking at her and when our eyes meet Camus catches me off guard.

“There is a connection.” He growls in my head and even though she doesn’t pay us much attention, she has acknowledged the connection to me and Daxton.

My face is shrouded in shadow, making it more difficult for anyone to recognize me and that is what I want.

I turn around to see their Squad Captain walking towards me, I can’t see her face because of the hood.The only reason I can tell she is a female is her curves, until I am able to look into her eyes and what eyes they are.

    Shadow Valley PackBeta Walker is pacing around the Alpha office, he still can’t believe that Dallas came back and just ignored him. Hell, she even called him Beta Walker.He had seen her walk towards the stage, but with the hood shrouding her face in shadows, he hadn’t recognized her as his own Daughter. He had never seen anyone walk towards an Alpha with that much confidence.His whole life he had hoped for a better position in life, but his true Mate-bond hadn’t given it to him and even the woman he fell in love with had failed him. Beta Walker had wanted more than he was born for and after the Alpha and Luna Ceremony he would have gotten everything he ever wanted.“How did she manage to cancel our Ceremony?” Lucy whined, but it didn’t do her any good.“You know that there is only one reason why I allowed you to become the next Luna and if it hadn’t been for that reason, I would have kicked you out of the territory, Lucy.” Alpha Leon answered her.He still couldn’t believe that Nic

    Dallas’ p.o.v.I try to understand why their Mother would only push one of her Sons into choosing a Mate, but Charna keeps coming back to their age.Yeah, they are quite a bit older than I am. They are forty eight to my nineteen years of age, but it doesn’t matter to me and I doubt they have a problem with it.We age a lot slower than Humans did, we also live a lot longer than Humans did and an age gap between Mates is rather normal for Shifters. Especially with the way we find our true Mate-bond these days, finding one’s connection is more difficult.It can take up to a week before a connection turns into a Mate-bond. If the bond forms from a connection then we call it a true Mate-bond and if there isn’t a connection, then we call it a Mate-bond.I will explain as much of our Mate-bonds, laws and everything else you might need to understand as we get to them, because if I were to start right now, you would get bored.Daxton and Darius are my second connection and you already know who

I see one of the Squad’s SUVs following us and the next thing I know Dallas has jumped out of the still moving SUV.Daxton jumps after her and a second later I follow them both, but I am stunned into silence when I hear her roar at Jesper. Camus whimpers in my head, I don’t recall if Preston ever managed to do that to him and here our Little One makes my Lycan whimper like a Pup.Okay, that roar held a lot of power and even Daxton is staring at Dallas.“Make sure that everyone knows that we have a Squad in the territory, there is just one small problem.” Preston says. “How do we explain their presence without revealing that the two of you found your connection?”Oh, Damn. He is absolutely right, if Mother hears about this all hell will break loose. She will try to scare off Dallas and she will use whatever she can to accomplish that.Jesper is staring at on

After returning this morning to the territory, she had seen unfamiliar people walking around and the first person she ran into was more than willing to tell her who they were.A Squad has moved into the territory, because the third in command found his connection with Belinda and now there are a lot of women in the territory that could find a connection with her Sons.She needed to find a way to scare the women away from Daxton, but she needed Daniella to pull this plan off and hopefully it would discourage Daxton to the point of accepting a chosen Mate.“What is wrong, Madeline?” Daniella asks, even though she has heard the rumors about a Squad moving into the territory.“We need to make sure that every woman in that Squad knows about Daxton and Sage, we can’t risk Daxton finding his connection.” Madeline says as she turns to face Daniella.Both of them sit down on the couch that is facing the windo

How about we move to the living room and you tell us everything we are allowed to know?” Alpha Preston asks.It doesn’t take long for us to move from the dining room to the living room and after I practically ordered Jesper to join Belinda, I sit down on the couch between Darius and Daxt

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.

    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

I slowly sit up, stretching myself as I settle between my Mates.I see the Pack-house appear before me as we round the bend in the road, Jesper and Belinda waiting for us on the front porch. Jesper has the biggest smile on his face and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out why.I congratulate both of them on the pregnancy before informing them that we will proceed directly to the Alpha floor for a meeting and that I would like both of them to be present.“Let me warn the Omegas to have dinner delivered to the Alpha floor. It will make it easier to talk and we don’t have to worry about cooking ourselves.” Pearl says before making a beeline for the kitchen.Elder Jensen follows us up the stairs while talking to Jesper; it sounds like Jesper’s Father is up to his usual tricks. Still hoping to force Jes

I wasn’t really listening. All I could think about was how to explain to you that your Mom was gone.” He answers, but it all sounds too rehearsed to me.He has given me all the information I need; now, all I have to do is make sense of it.“Let’s go home. I am done here.” I say as I get up, quickly followed by both my Mates. Even Elder Jensen follows us out of the office, ignoring the questions from Alpha Leon.“I have questions and I have answers. I will follow you to Silver Eclipse Pack.” Elder Jensen says through the mind-link.

He hates that someone tried to hurt our Mate and I think he wants to find those answers more than any of us.“We only know about that necklace because of our ancestors. Dallas is right, we need to thank Walker for being an Ass.” Cyran growls in my head.We have breakfast in the main dining room; we would like to leave as soon as everyone has finished their breakfast. Rayden and Ruth will stay behind to hold down the fort and Marco has a smile on his face when Dallas tells him to protect his Sister.“Don’t worry, Uncle Preston.

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

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

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

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.
