“It will become even worse, they will start to talk to you.” He replies teasingly and Charna is laughing her ass off.
I softly growl at Joahua and he smart enough to create a little distance between us. He is one of the few people in our Squad that knows about what other members of other Squads have said to me, each and every one of them implicating that I was Jordan’s lover.
It wasn’t until someone said that I had to go and find my own true Mate-bond, that I lost control of my patients and Charna. That fucking Idiot is still in the infirmary and once he has fully recovered, he gets send home.
No one has dared to make a similar remark to me ever since, but I have gotten enough death glares and I prefer it that way. My Squad members know that I got where I am, because of all the hard work I put into it and none of them question my ability to lead this Squad.
“Elder Jensen, I apologize for having my block up. I was just finishing up for my last exam and I didn’t want to get distracted.” I say as I sit down behind my desk.
“No worries, I knew you were studying. I wanted to do this personally and in private, I know this will be difficult for you and it might not.” Elder Jensen says.
Joshua and I are looking at one another, this guy is talking in riddles and I don’t think I have the patience for it today.
Elder Jensen holds out an envelope for me and after a small hesitation, I take it from his outstretched hand. I recognize the Pack emblem and my first instinct is to throw it back at Elder Jensen, but my curiosity wins.
We are proud to announce the Alpha Ceremony for our Son, Nico, and the Luna Ceremony for his Mate, Lucy.
I don’t bother reading the rest of the card, I close the card before putting it in the envelope and I hand it back to Elder Jensen.
“We both know that Nico and Lucy don’t have a true Mate-bond and that causes an issue for the Elders, but we also want to send out a message to every other Pack in the Kingdom. So, we will wait until the Ceremony and you will get the honor of telling them that the Alpha Ceremony is cancelled.” Elder Jensen says.
Joshua looks at me for a moment, before he seems to understand why I am getting the honor of disrupting an Alpha Ceremony.
“How long do we have?” I ask Elder Jensen, I need to prepare myself mentally.
“You have over six months to prepare, you know the rules for an Alpha or Luna Ceremony cancelation. Also make sure that there is a trial date for Alpha Leon, just in case he is willing to fight our decision in front of the King.” Elder Jensen replies.
“Okay, Joshua. Let’s get this Shitshow on the road, I want the cancelation forms filled out. Alpha Leon will ask for them and he will ask for a trial to overturn their own Pack-law.” I say as I show Elder Jensen to the door.
I open the door to let Elder Jensen out and I see my third in command, Jesper, waiting outside the door.
“Get in here, Jesper. We have more than enough to do and luckily a whole lot of time to do it in. I do need some answer though and maybe you can help me with that.” I say as Jesper walks into my office.
Joshua hands him the envelope and I softly growl at the mere sight of the Pack emblem on it.
For a few moments it is quiet in my office, but then Jesper starts laughing his ass off.
“Let me guess, we get to break up the happy shindig?” He asks and starts laughing even harder. Someone seems to be happy to be a party pooper and I actually have to giggle.
I decide to tell both of them why I get the privilege of dealing with the cancelation and both men growl loudly.
Jesper went through a similar situation and Joshua had his connection broken before there was a chance to form a bond.
Why Nico chose Lucy over me is still unknown, Jesper and Joshua both know why they were turned down. Neither of them had a high enough rank, both women wanted an Alpha.
Well, good luck. Most Alphas are arrogant, obnoxious and rude, they truly believe that they are the Goddess’ gift to women.
Ever since Dallas walked out of the Pack-house, the atmosphere had gone downhill.
Most Pack-members had witnessed the events in the dining room and those that had been busy with other tasks, had seen the footage. Some had recorded the events and spread them across the territory, making sure that everyone knew what had happened.
Alpha Leon had given his Pack-members the order to never discuss what happened with outsiders, but he knew he had a lose canon in the form of Dallas. He had been to stunned to react quick enough and when he had realized he needed to stop her, she had already been gone.
No one had been able to find a trace of her, pinging her phone had failed too and there was no bank account in her name. It was as if she disappeared into thin air.
They tried to find her browser history, but that had been wiped clean. Not a small trace was found of Dallas or her ever living within the territory, because her file had been gone too.
Alpha Leon had a suspicion that Dallas had been planning her departure for a long rime, but no one had an answer for him. Not her Father, not his Son and when he tried to find any of her friends, he found out she had none.
The only thing he could find on Dallas, was her training schedule and her patrol reports. That girl had been his top Warrior and he had never known about it.
Her Father had been surprised to hear about her status within the Pack, but it hadn’t impressed him much. After all she was a Beta’s Daughter, she had to be a strong Warrior.
After two months of trying everything to find her, Alpha Leon finally gave up. At least on a large scale, but he kept an eye out for any news on a female that came across his desk.
Slowly life went back to some sort of normal in Shadow Valley Pack, but most Pack-members didn’t like what Nico had done to Dallas.
The connection that can lead to a true Mate-bond should be respected and Nico made Dallas believe that he did respect it, only to betray her with Lucy.
