Neither one of them could actually remember if Cyran had been asleep or not, but it didn’t make much difference in this case.
Pearl walks into the office, once l am done with all my questions and she sits down on the coffee table in front of me.
“Dallas, do you have any idea what happened?” Pearl asks.
“No, but something doesn’t feel right about this. I have a few more questions that these guys can’t answer and hopefully, I will have an answer by the time I do find those answers.” I answer Luna Pearl.
With this interruption, we missed dinner in the main dining room and we settled for a few pizzas.
“Captain, there is an issue down here.” One of my Squad members links me. “Daniella is telling everyone that she is Daxton’s chosen Mate and Madeline is backing her up.”
“Alpha, do you mind if I put some Pack-members back in their place?” | ask, but I don’t wait for an answer and I can-hear them walking down – the stairs behind me.
I am on the last flight of stairs, when I can hear a commotion coming from the main living room and I speed up just a little.
“Daxton is my chosen Mate and I suggest that you all stay away from him.” I hear Daniella say. ‘If I find anyone of you near him, I will throw you in the dungeons.”
– I look over my shoulders at Alpha Preston and he mouths “Go ahead” before I turn my back on him.
“Daniella, Daxton isn’t your chosen Mate. Luna Pearl told me that you have been trying for almost a decade now to get him to choose you and every time he has told you that he will wait for his connection. Is there something in that sentence that you don’t understand?” I ask.
“My Son will choose Daniella as his Mate, because he will never find his connection” Madeline states and before she can say anything else l raise my hand.
“Yeah, news flash. If Daxton can’t find his connection then neither can Darius. If I were Daniella I would go after Darius, after all he is the Pack’s Beta and Daxton doesn’t have a title.” I reply.
Madeline and Daniella are both staring at me, but I know that my words make more sense than Daniella chasing after Daxton.
“I would also pursue Darius instead of Daxton, this smells fishy.”Belinda says as she steps next to me and other Pack-members seem to agree with us.
“Ruth already pointed that out to our Mother, but apparently Daxton is a better catch than I am.” Darius says with a fake whine.
Belinda and I turn around at the same time and we both look up and down at Darius and Daxton, before we shrug our shoulders.
“They look the same to me, in every way and yet Danielta perverse the twin without a title. Very interesting indeed.” I say as I wink at them.
“Like I said, smells fishy.” Belinda mumbles.
Dallas’ p.o.v.
It is in the middle of the night when my running mind wakes me up, ! 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 bedrooms, their eyes following every move I make as I walk toward them.
“Why are you out of bed at this hour?” Darius asks.
“Something finally clicked in my head and I needed to give Joshua some instructions. He is going on an errand for me in the morning and now l am going back to sleep.” I answer him.
Both look at me to get a few more answers, but l am not going to tell them anything. I have some research to do of my own and then I can give Daxton the answers he has been looking for.
“Don’t worry, this is normal. If I am working on a case and I need answers, they usually come to me at night when I am asleep. It is like my brain can work better, while I am sleeping.” I tell them, before peck both of them on the cheek and walk back into my bedroom.
I am asteep quickly and the rest of the night I am able to sleep in one stretch.
“What was so important that you had to get out of bed in the middle of the night?” Alpha Preston asks during breakfast and I look to my left and my right.
“As I explained to your Beta and his Brother, my mind works very effectively during my sleep. Something finally made sense and I needed to make sure that Joshua would leave at first light, he needs to run an errand for me.” I answer.
“Darius, it isn’t smart to piss off a Squad Captain. Dallas is a Squad Captain for a reason and she might hold this tattling you did against you for a while or for much longer.” Luna Pearl says with a wicked smile on her face.
She didn’t just put them both in their place, but also warned them that they were risking our bond from forming.
