“Dallas, tell me that this is a joke. This is sick in more ways than one.” Daxton says.
“No, this is all real. I doubt anyone but two people in Shadow Valley Pack know about this and all hell will break loose the moment Alpha Leon hears about this.” I tell him.
I grab a few more papers to add to her file, showing them to Daxton before | put them inside and Daxton is getting angrier by the minute.
Charna forces me to sit on his lap to calm him and Cyran down and | let myself get wrapped in his arms, enjoying his warmth. I place my head on his shoulder and I let my eyes roam around the Alpha Library.
Like the library downstairs, this library is bright with enough sitting areas to give everyone who wants to be here some privacy. There are alot fewer books here, but that is because the Alpha Library holds books on issues for a Pack’s leadership and every other book can be found in the library downstairs.
There are also fewer bookshelves against the wall and every now and then a painting or some other piece of art. My eyes get glued to a painting right behind Daxton and I slowly sit up straight, not taking my eyes off the painting.
Daxton turns a bit in his seat and follows my line of sight to the painting, she has something familiar but I can’t tell what it is.
“That is Princess Dyala, she was a rather unlucky girl. She was the fourth child and the only girl in the family. It always seemed as if she was adored by everyone in her family, but for at least one family member it was all an act.” Daxton says, while he lifts me in his arms and walks over to the painting.
* “That necklace was a gift for her sixteenth birthday from her second Brother, but unknown to the rest of the family the necklace served a purpose. If a Royal wears the necklace from their sixteenth birthday, they will not get their Wolf or Lycan at the age of seventeen.
Her younger Brother shifted into a Lycan at the age of seventeen and was declared the next King, while Dyala never got her Wolf or Lycan.
During a visit to our Pack, the Luna asked her to take the necklace off during her visit and a week before she would return home she finally. shifted in a Lycan.” Daxton says.
I look from the painting to Daxton and try to remember if I ever heard about this Princess.
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. Tell me where you wanna go and I will take you there, but you are staying in my arms, Little One.” I say.
She pulls back a little to allow herself to look into my eyes, quickly realizing that I have no intention of letting her go.
“Fine. I need to get back to those files, there is still much to prepare for and I don’t have forever.” Dallas says, while she looks over her shoulder at the table.
“Where you expertise anyone?” I ask when we hear a knock on the door.I put her down in a chair after she has shaken her head, the others wouldn’t knock because we have nothing to hide from one another.
Opening the door I see Lara standing outside the Alpha Library, the Omega that stilt reports to Madeline. She shouldn’t be on the Alpha floor, because it isn’t her assigned floor and that makes Cyran rather suspicious of her presence here.
“Lara, what are you doing on the Alpha floor?”I ask and I hear papers ” moving across the table. Sounds to me as if Dallas doesn’t trust this either.
” came to see if Captain Dallas needed anything, I know she has a job to do and I just want to make sure that she has everything she needs.
Alpha Preston can forget about refreshments while working and | just wanted to make sure that doesn’t happen to Captain Dallas.” Lara answers me and to anyone else this would make sense, but another Omega is assigned to the Alpha floor.
It would be her job to check up on Dallas and get refreshments for Dallas, if she would want them.
“Isn’t that Judy’s job? Luna Pear told me that she takes care of the Alpha floor.” Dallas asks from behind me.
Lara looks from Dallas to me but neither of us says another word, both of us waiting for Lara to answer Dallas’ question.
I wanted to help Judy out, she is busy cleaning the Alpha floor and doesn’t have time to come here to look after Captain Dallas.” Lara answers after a few seconds.
“Strange.” Dallas mumbles and Lara isn’t the only one staring at her.”
Luna Pearl made sure to inform Judy that she had to check up on me regularly and to alert me when it is time for lunch or dinner.”.
Dallas made it sound as if Lara doesn’t trust Judy to do her job, but every Pack-member knows that Judy has been taking care of theAlpha family for decades and she is damn good at her job. Sometimes. it seems as if she knows what Preston or Pearl needs before they do and Darius and I have pointed out a few times that it is creepy.
“Get back to your assigned location, Lara. Show up here again without permission and I will report it to Alpha Preston.” Dallas says before she closes the door in Lara’s face:
