It doesn’t take long for us to move from the dining room to the living room and after | practically ordered Jesper to join Belinda, I sit down on the couch between Darius and Daxton.
“As I mentioned in the SUV, Nico was my first connection. I rejected him in the dining room with many of our Pack-members present and during my explanation to Alpha Leon, a lot more Pack-members showed up. All of it was being taped by Pack-members and I have that footage.
During my tests the Elders realized that I knew a lot about our main Laws and they asked me to specialize in Pack-laws from all Packs in our Kingdom.” I stop talking when I hear Luna Pearl gasp and | look at her with a smile.Yes, I even know the Pack-laws of Silver Eclipse Pack. I have studied them all and that is when I found out about the Pack-laws of Shadow Valley Pack. I won’t tell you what they are, because you will hear that during the trial.” I say.
Alpha Preston is about to say something, when his phone starts buzzing and a few moments later he looks at me with a smirk on his face.
“When did they change the trial?” He asks.
“They went to the King after I informed them of what happened at Shadow Valley Pack, the invitation hadn’t been received yet and Elder Jensen wanted to be prepared.” I answer his question.
We discuss the upcoming trial without me spoiling it too much and before we know it, it is time for lunch. Like breakfast, we have our lunch on the Alpha floor and I get the chance to learn more about Daxton and Darius.
Daxton is the numbers guy, he keeps track of the Pack’s finances and knows exactly where to find every file on every huge expense. From the kitchen budget to the renovation budget of the Pack-house, Daxton can tell you all about it.
Darius is the diplomat, even though he can sometimes be very blunt, especially if someone has annoyed him enough. Whether it is a visiting Alpha or his Mother, if you over step than Darius won’t hesitate to put you back in your place.
Both of them love to train and if you can’t find them in the Pack-house than try your luck on the training grounds. Tomorrow morning they are going to show me the training grounds and I hope to get a few hours with Darius and Daxton while they show me around the territory.
“Okay, dinner will be served in an hour. Why don’t we freshen up and meet downstairs?” Luna Pearl says and we all get up to head back to our own floor.I decide to change into something more comfortable, just some sweatpants and a tank top. I pull my hair back into a ponytail and after one more look in the mirror I step out of the bathroom.
Darius is on the phone while leaning against the wall and I can hear the water running inside the room to my left. See you downstairs l mouth as I close the door behind me and Darius nods his head.
Joshua follows me down to the main living room and we sit down on a couch in front of the window, the patio doors wide open.
I know that Joshua is eaves dropping on the conversation outside, just like lam. The conversation had piqued my interest the moment I heard Daxton’s name and Charna is pacing in the back of my head, growling every now and then.
“She does realize that her story doesn’t make sense?” I hear Joshua ask through the mind-link.
1am not only paying attention to the women that had the conversation, but also to all the other Pack-members and Squad members. It seems that my Squad members are a lot smarter than the women had hoped, because all of them are shaking their heads.
It is the Pack-members’ reactions that have me confused, it seems as if they actually believe the story and that bothers Charna. The main question for me is, why did they say that only Darius is the Beta?
“Joshua, I need you to go back upstairs. Tell Darius and Daxton what happened, but make sure that they understand that I don’t believe a word of it.” I say to him through the mind-link.
I step onto the patio and see the women that stirred up trouble at the edge of the patio, but neither has noticed me yet.
“Captain, how is Jesper doing?” One of my Squad members asks, his way of distracting everyone.”He is fine, he went to the infirmary with Belinda. You can ask him yourself when they get back, you might want to take the time to get to know Belinda and her baby Brother Marco while you’re at it.” I reply.
“Ladies, I don’t think it is very nice to bad mouth Daxton. I have spent some time with both of them and I don’t believe a word you said.” I state, while I step in front of Madeline.
“I am Dallas, Captain of the Squad that moved into the territory. It isn’t smart to slander a man’s name for your own gain, it is actually against the law and punishable with banishment.” I say, never taking my eyes off Madeline.
Charna is convinced that Madeline is the culprit in this case and from the look on her face, I am inclined to agree with Charna. Madeline has an axe to grind with Daxton and she will do whatever she believes she has to do to destroy her Son.
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 says
Something about this isn’t adding up, because I know that Darius and I neyer 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 Preston myself of what Sage had accused me of, our former Alpha and our former Gamma are the only other two people who are aware of this and I doubt any of them would have told our Mother.
“When did our Mother discuss this with Dallas?” Darius asks Joshua
“She didn’t discuss this with Dallas, she was outside on the patio with someone named Daniella.” Joshua answers.
Darius and I both growl, because we know that this means that multiple Pack-members are now aware of something that has never been spoken of and would have stayed hidden forever.” doubt any of our Squad members will belleve her, none of them are, easily fooled and if Dallas tells her that she doesn’t belleve her then none of our Squad will belleve your Mother.” Joshua states.
I feel a lot better knowing that Dallas isn’t buying what our Mother says, Darius looks at Joshua and all Joshua does is smile, he isn’t fooled by our Mother either.
“Dallas would like to meet us all in Preston’s affice. Can you get the entire leadership to be there in ten minutes?” Joshua asks.
