I hope you enjoy reading my novel.
Darius’ p.o.v.I am grateful that Preston agreed with me and we are taking the underground garage to get access to the Pack-house. 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 o
Madeline is pacing in the living room of her cottage, waiting for Daniella to show up. 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 wind
Dallas’ p.o.v.After a good night’s sleep I had taken a shower and got dressed in my uniform, it is what I always wear unless I am off duty.Technically I am off duty at the moment, Elder Jensen has given my entire unit time off until the trial and it means that we can get to know the territory and it’s inhabitants a bit better.Darius and Daxton had been waiting outside my door and we went up to the Alpha floor for breakfast, something to do with avoiding their Mother.Belinda had joined us for breakfast and I got a lot more information about Marco and his condition, needless to say that I contacted Elder Jensen to get a specialist down here.“Dallas, you said that you would explain this trial to us. 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
Daxton’s p.o.v.Darius was waiting for me outside my room, he told me that Dallas had already gone downstairs to meet up with some of her Squad members.I do not really look surprised when Joshua walks onto our floor, but the look on his face tells me that something happened and I can’t wait to find out what it is“Dallas doesn’t believe a word of what we heard, but you need to know that it looks like your Mother is accusing you of trying to rape and forcefully mark an eighteen year old.” Joshua saysSomething about this isn’t adding up, because I know that Darius and I never told our Mother what had happened with Sage and with how fast Sage disappeared I doubt she would have told anyone about what happened according to her.I don’t believe anyone else would have told our Mother about what Sage accused me of, but then the question remains how did she find out?There are only a handful of people aware of what possibly could have happened that night. I informed Darius, Rayden and Presto
Dallas’ p.o.v.After everyone has left Preston’s office, Joshua and Jesper sit down next to me on the couch and I press play on the footage on the screen.The three of us are staring at the screen, a young female is sitting in a chair near the desk and her head is hanging low. We listen to her story as she tells it to the former Alpha and former Gamma, replaying it again to look at her body language and again to look and listen for anything we might have missed the other two times.After going through the footage two more times, I send Joshua out to the living room to get Alpha Preston.“Alpha, can you tell me why Daxton stayed home?” I ask him, after he has sat down in an armchair.“It was his turn to stay behind. Darius, Daxton and Rayden took turns staying behind when I had to visit other Packs, I wasn’t the Alpha yet and we wanted to stay in the loop on what happened here during our absence.” Preston answers me.It made sense to me that Preston wanted to know how the Pack was doin
Dallas’ p.o.v.It is in the middle of the night when my running mind wakes me up, I am finally getting somewhere with this strange case.I link Joshua to meet me in the living room and I am grateful that we are staying on the Beta floor, it makes meetings like this a lot easier.“What is going on, Captain?” Joshua asks as he sits down in an armchair.“I need you to find Sage and bring her here. I don’t care how far you have to travel or if she comes willingly, because at the moment you are on assignment for the Elders and she can’t refuse.” I answer him, even though it isn’t a real answer.“Got it. You are on to something, but won’t share it yet.” Joshua says as he gets up. “I will leave in the morning, hopefully it won’t take too long to find her.”I smile when I see Daxton and Darius leaning against the wall outside their bedr
Darius’ p.o.v.Damn it. We really pissed off Dallas by telling Preston that she had refused to answer our question and now we can’t even go to see her.The library on the ground floor is for all Pack-members and going there to see Dallas would mean that our Mother would find out that we have an interest in her.“Have the three of you lost your minds?” Pearl asks the moment the door to the Alpha office has closed and we all know that she is not expecting an answer from us, it is just her way of telling us that she is going to bite our heads off.“She doesn’t have to answer your questions, Preston. First of all, you are not her Alpha and secondly, she is a Squad Captain.” Pearl says as she sits down in an armchair and we can hear Preston mumble.“As for the two of you, I suggest that you start thinking real hard about taking a chosen Mate. If you can’t let her do her job, the way she has done it until now, then you will
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

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
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
