He is my Brother and he will stay on the Beta floor until he decides otherwise.” Darius growls.
Daniella is staring at Darius, but my main focus is on Lara.
She is still mind-linking and her facial expression makes it clear that whoever she is talking to doesn’t like what she has to say.A commotion at the front door interrupts whatever
Daniella was about to say or do, we can hear a struggle going on and a moment later a figure is shoved into the dining room.
“Captain, this is the guy that attacked Marco.” Pablo, one of my Squad members, says as he walks towards the figure on the floor.
Lara pales at the sight of whoever is lying on the floor and I see Pablo glaring in her direction.
“Alpha Preston, can you link all Pack-members to come to the Pack-house?” I ask him. “Pablo, take the Squad and relieve the Pack-members that are on border patrol. I want everyone to be a witness to this and for everyone to understand that I will not tolerate disrespect in any form.”
Alpha Preston isn’t going to deny my request, he knows better after the last screw up he made. He will allow me to handle this as it involves one of my Squad members and due to my status I can sentence anyone to a heavier punishment than an Alpha can without the say so of the Elders or King.
My Squad members left the Pack-house the moment I stopped talking and they will protect these borders with their lives, just as they would do at Scarlet Crescent Pack.
It takes about thirty minutes before Preston tells me that all Pack-members are present, even Belinda and Marco are present with a pissed off Jesper at their side. If I let him, Jesper will tear the Idiot in front of me to pieces andno one will be able to stop him.
“Good morning, l am sorry for interrupting your normal routines. For those of you that haven’t heard yet, before breakfast two of the Pack-members were admitted to the infirmary. Someone believed that he had a right to attack a child, a child who is the Brother in law to my third in command.” I state, knowing full wett that it will enrage a ” lot of Pack-members.
Everyone knows that attacking a High-ranking Pack-member is not done and Jesper’s position as my third in command is similar to that of a Gamma.
Madeline and Daniella are standing next to one another and I wonder if one or both of them are involved in this matter.
Darius’ p.o.v.
Mother is standing to the side of the porch with Daniella, scowling at Dallas, who seems oblivious to it.
Her Squad members are paying attention and two of them step behind Mother, but they don’t say or do anything.
Both men have their arms folded in front of their chest and I recognize Pablo as one of them, his angry eyes focused on Daniella.
“Why did you attack Marco?” Dallas asks Laurence, Lara’s baby Brother.
Laurence refuses to answer her and keeps his eyes turned to the treeline, but it seems that we will get a lesson in what a Squad Captain within the territory means for all our Pack-members.
Camus pushes forward the moment he senses Charna near the surface and Laurence screams bloody murder when she grabs his neck, lifting him off the ground.
“Who asked you to attack Marco?” Dallas asks, her face less than an inch away from his face. Her green eyes are almost glowing with Charna front and center.
“My Sister, Lara.” Laurence says and before anyone can react Lara is on her knees in front of Dallas.
Rayden takes Laurence from her hand and the momentshe steps towards Lara, the Omega starts to cry.
“Beta female Madeline told me to do it. I didn’t want to, but she promised to reinstate my position as the Omega for the Beta floor.” Lara says, in between sobs.
“Pablo, place Madeline in a cell.” Dallas says and Mother starts to object to it. “For impersonating a Beta female.
She lost that title when her Mate died, she holds no power at all.”
I stare at our Mate for a moment, but I doubt that anyone could tell you the real reason for my staring. Every Pack-member will assume that I was staring at her for sending my Mother to the dungeons, but I was staring at her because I could get away with it.
“Darius, stop her. I am your Mother and you are the Beta, you can stop her from doing this to me.” Mother is screaming.
“Sorry, Mother. Captain Dallas outranks me, l am unsure if she outranks Alpha Preston, but I can’t go against her orders.” | tell my Mother, knowing full well that she will never plead with Preston as she does with me.
I look over my shoulder to see Preston standing in the doorway and Mother can’t see him. The sneaky little bastard is hiding, because he doesn’t want to hear my Mother’s whining.
“Lara and Laurence, you are both on probation. If one of you makes a mistake, both of you will be banished. Is thatclear?” Dallas asks, both of them mumble their understanding of their punishment and I hope both of them will behave themselves from here on out.
“Both of you are also banned from the Pack-house, I will not tolerate behavior like this.” Pearl says the moment. she steps next to Dallas.
Okay, I need to keep this in mind. Those two are creepy together and not afraid to dish out a punishment, pissing one of them off will be bad enough but both. No, thank you.
“Just to make sure that everyone understands what just happened. Captain Dallas has the ability to punish each and everyone of you and I will not stop her if she has the law on her side.” Preston states before he dismisses everyone.
We follow Dallas back inside and I can’t wait to spend a few more hours alone with her, our bond is forming fast.
