Dallas’ p.o.v.
After letting them grovel a little more I finally told them that they were forgiven, but they better run and hide next time.
I am in the main living room with Jesper and Belinda, we are waiting for Marco to return from his last appointment in the infirmary and hopefully also his last time being admitted to the infirmary.
“Hello, Dallas.” Danielle says as she approaches our table.
“That is Captain Dallas for you. The law states that you have to address a High-ranking member with their title and that means that you will address her as Captain.” Jesper says and for good measure Belinda refers to me as Captain while placing my coffee in front of me.
“Captain Dallas, I am hoping that you can clarify a few things for me,” Daniella says while sitting down across the table from me. I meet Daniella's gaze with a blank stare, I didn’t invite her to sit d
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
Daxton’s p.o.v.“The story isn’t publicly known at the request of Princess Dyala, she didn’t want to tear her family apart and refused to go home. The King finally came here and the Alpha told him the truth about the necklace, forcing the King to rethink the appointment of his Son as the King.He hadn’t counted on one thing though, Princess Dyala didn’t want anything to do with her two conniving Brothers and asked her Father to leave the matter in the past.” I tell Dallas.No one knows what happened to the necklace and I hope that someone destroyed the damn thing, because it ruined the life of an innocent woman.“Did she ever return to the Palace?” Dallas asks and I understand her curiosity.“No, she found a connection in a neighboring Pack. She unfortunately died before they had any children, so her bloodline within the Royal family died down.” I answer her.Dallas stares at the painting for a little longer, before she tries to squirm out of my arms.“No, I am not letting go of you. T
Dallas’ p.o.v.“If this is a repeating pattern, you have to go back for months or years even and doing that on your own will take a lot of time. Time we could have spent together to let our bond form, so I called in some help.” She states and I don’t think twice as I kiss her.I asked Daxton to link Preston to get him and Pearl to the library, they need to know that there might be a bigger problem than Pearl thought and Preston needs to give the Squad members permission to dive into our finances.Alpha Preston and Luna Pearl walk into the library and Daxton quickly explains what he found, before he tells them about my thoughts on the issue.“Alpha Preston, each of them are Beta children and know how Pack finances work. It will make it easier to use the resources we have than having to teach someone else what they need to look for.” I say.“Dallas, drop the title.” Pearl growls and I smile at her as I nod my head in acknowledgment.Pearl and Preston take my Squad members with them to t
Dallas’ p.o.v.Lunch was spent on the Alpha floor, no one wanted to see Daniella and there is no doubt in my mind that she would make sure she is close to Daxton to keep an eye on him.Daniella needs to ensure that Daxton doesn’t find a connection, so she will take every opportunity she gets to keep an eye on him and report it to Madeline.I am talking with Pearl about the trial as we walk into the main dining room the next morning and every conversation halts at that moment. I look up to see very angry looks on the faces of my Squad members and I understand immediately that someone has been stirring trouble.“What is going on?” I ask while I walk to the closest table with some of my Squad members.“Sorry, Captain. Jesper told us not to bother you, but he had to take Marco and Belinda to the infirmary.” One of them answers and Charna releases a soft growl.“Someone attacked Marco on the patio and Belinda tried to protect him, getting injured herself.” Someone else adds.“Find out who a
Darius’ p.o.v.Mother is standing to the side of the porch with Daniella, scowling at Dallas, who seems oblivious to it.Her Squad members are paying attention and two of them step behind Mother, but they don’t say or do anything. Both men have their arms folded in front of their chest and I recognize Pablo as one of them, his angry eyes focused on Daniella.“Why did you attack Marco?” Dallas asks Laurence, Lara’s baby Brother.Laurence refuses to answer her and keeps his eyes turned to the treeline, but it seems that we will get a lesson in what a Squad Captain within the territory means for all our Pack-members.Camus pushes forward the moment he senses Charna near the surface and Laurence screams bloody murder when she grabs his neck, lifting him off the ground.“Who asked you to attack Marco?” Dallas asks, her face less than an inch away from his face. Her green eye
Dallas’ p.o.v.Something is pulling at the back of my mind, but I can’t get a hold of it and figure out what it might mean.I do understand that our bond shouldn’t be forming this fast and yet it doesn’t feel wrong, it feels right and I hope that we will be able to complete this bond quickly.“Captain, we have finished going over the books. This is really bad, we need to talk to Alpha Preston.” One of my Squad members says through the mind-link, pulling me from my thoughts on my Mate-bond.“Is your office soundproof, Darius?” I ask and I see his eyes darken, causing me to blush. “Not for that, Old Man.”I swat his chest with minimum force, but then again I am trapped between both my Mates and can’t take a good swing at Darius, even if I wanted to.“There is news on the Pack’s finances and it didn’t sound good.” I
Dallas’ p.o.v.Daxton lowers his head to lock his lips with mine, while Darius lies behind me as his hands roam over my arms. His hands slip under the sheet to continue their way down my body and Daxton deepens the kiss even further, my breathing becomes labored from the kiss and Darius’ hands on my body.I moan the moment Daxton’s hand cups my breast through the sheet and I feel his other hand slide down my arm to my hip. His hand grips my hip to pull me closer to his body, I can feel his raging hard-on press against my belly and he moans the moment it rubs against my body.Their hands on my skin is driving me nuts and I moan into Daxton’s mouth as he pinches one of my nipples, my eyes fly open the moment he says next to my ear, “I can smell that you like what we are doing to you.” I see the lust in Daxton’s eyes and my core starts throbbing harder.Daxton’s hand leaves my hip
Darius’ p.o.v.Daxton doesn’t give her time to chance her mind as he lifts her up until she is hovering over my rock-hard shaft, she gasps the moment my cock touches her entrance again and Daxton slowly lowers her over my cock. She places her hands on my chest as she slides down on my cock and the moment I bottom out he releases her hips.My hands help her to glide up and down my cock and I feel Daxton’s hand between our legs to coat his fingers with her juices, just before he slides them up to her ass. Her eyes widen when he pushes two fingers into her ass and I feel them through the thin piece of flesh that separates us.Both of us pick up the pace as one of us slides his cock in and out of her pussy, while the other is pumping his fingers in her ass. She moans louder with every thrust into her body and when Daxton pushes her onto Mylo’s chest she doesn’t object.I can feel Daxton move behind
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
Elder Jensen receives the message from Pedro about Madeline. He looks at the footage that is attached to the message, and he knows that most of the elders will find a fitting punishment for Madeline.The drug she gave to Sage to be used on her own Son is prohibited for a reason; the only way she could have found out about it and what it could do to a Wolf or a Lycan is from her mate. Elder Jensen knows that Beta Landon would have never revealed this to his Mate or anyone else who would have asked him about prohibited drugs.It had cost many Shifters their fated Mate or their position within their pack, it had even costed the Kingdom one of their previous Betas.Unlike the Pack hierarchy, the rulers of the Kingdom all come from one and the same family. Elder Jensen has been around long enough to have seen the position of the King or Queen, their Beta and their Gamma to switch from one side of the family to the other.Not many people are aware of the Succession Law for the Royal family.
Darius’ p.o.v.Camus wants to kill her, I want to kill her, Cyran wants to kill her, Daxton wants to kill her.Camus growls the moment I try to think of her as my Mother, she lost that right when she chose to betray Daxton. To Camus, she will only be known as Madeline, for me, it will take a few days to get that sorted out.“Can we head up to the Beta floor, Little One?” Daxton asks and Dallas grabs our hands without a word, leading us out of the room.The second the door closes behind us, Daxton lifts Dallas into his arms and walks over to the couch in the living room. He sits down on the couch with Dallas in his arms, but after moving around for a few seconds he gets up and heads to the master bedroom.“We need another couch, that damn thing is uncomfortable.” Daxton growls as he sits down on the bed.Dallas has a wicked smile on her face and I chuckle as I remember her
Every person in that living room is staring at Dallas, most of them are her Squad members and they know their Captain well enough to understand that she has more to tell.“Doc, can you tell us what drug leaves behind the scent of cotton candy or sugarcoated marshmallows?” Dallas asks as she sits down on a couch.Everyone who hadn’t taken a seat followed Dallas’ lead to sit down, and only her Squad members stood around the room.“That would be Synxapine. Well, actually the component called Ibrazleine.” Doc answers her question. “Ibrazleine also causes short term memory loss, depending on the amount that is in a drug, it can be hours or a few days.”At least that explains to all of them why Daxton could never remember what happened that night and the amount wasn’t large enough to take away a few hours of memories.“Doc, can you explain Synxapine is?” Dallas asks Doc, she wants to give
Dallas’ p.o.v.“He doesn’t remember anything, we have been over this a million times before.” Madeline says as she gets out of her seat, but Jesper quickly pushes her back into her seat.“I do remember what happened, Mother. You and Sage set this whole thing up, you helped her with getting the drugs that Sage used on me. It wasn’t me that Sage was after and a Rogue attack ruined her chances.” Daxton says and Madeline turns a bit pale at his words.“I remember the conversation you had with Sage, after the message from Preston came in that they wouldn’t return until morning. I remember Sage’s mumbling on how she deserved to be a Luna and that she would get that position even if she had to play dirty.Sage gave me two shots that night and I know that the last one she gave me was meant for Preston. Why Sage decided to accuse me of such a heinous crime, I don’t und
Dallas’ p.o.v.Hearing Daxton scream No is a sound I never want to hear again, there was so much pain and despair in that one word that it nearly broke my heart.He pulls me into his arms the moment he looks at me and I can feel myself and Charna calm down with his arms around us. Darius lies down next to us, his hand moving around my lower back and his other hand is lying on Daxton’s head.We stay like that for a while and then a knock on the door interrupts our peaceful moment, Darius gets up to see who it is.“Joshua returned from his errand and we have a pissed off Alpha downstairs.” I hear Jesper say and I know that we need to deal with this immediately.“We will be down in a minute, Jesper.” I call out to him and I can hear him walk away from our room.“Daxton, I need you to keep a level head when we get downstairs. You will get your revenge today and everyone wil
