It has been almost a week since the showdown between Mother and Pearl, but apparently she feels that she can show her face again.
Even though there are enough Pack-members that glare at her to scare someone off, she doesn’t seem to notice and as always Daniella is right there beside her.
Cyran growls in my head, when he sees Daniella waving at me and I allow him to come forward. Making sure that she sees that neither one of us is interested in her, my Lycan has never had an interest for women and I doubt he will, until the day we find our connection that is.
Daniella quickly lowers her head and I see Mother looking at me with a disapproving look in her eyes. She knows that I am not impressed by it and when she realizes that Cyran is near the surface, she turns her attention elsewhere.
“Is your Mother afraid of Cyran?” I hear Pearl ask.
“Yes, Luna Pearl. After I had told her many times to stop bugging me about a chosen Mate, Cyran decided to have a talk with Mother’s Wolf and that is when we found out that she feels the same as Mother. Cyran has completely shut her out, Mother’s Wolf can no longer reach her own child.” I say.
“Cyran made it clear to both of them that we no longer considered them our family, he actually roared it in their face and that in public.” I state with a smile.
I hear gasps coming from my friends, I understand why because that is unheard off. Normally a Wolf or Lycan will always side with their child, most of the times even over their Human and for Mother’s Wolf to agree with her Human is strange.
I believe that this goes for every Shifter, but most of all for Wolves and Lycans. A Shifter is overprotective of their child, even more than of their Mate and that usually never changes.
“Cyran told me that both of them felt that we owed Darius the Beta position, in their eyes we took too much from him during the pregnancy.” I state and as usual Darius is laughing again.
Darius and I are 6″6 in height and most Pack-members can hide behind us, some have even done so.
Pearl us looking at Darius with a mischievous look in her eyes, “Yeah, you probably stolen some of his braincells.” She says teasingly and Darius spits out the food he had in his mouth.
Cyran is rolling around in my head, while I do my best not to have a huge smug look on my face. Preston has his face buried in Pearl’s hair, but we can all see that he is laughing.
Mother is glaring at me, but I don’t really care. Pearl asked a question and I will always answer my Luna with the truth, no matter who might hear my answer.
Dallas’ p.o.v.
Six months later
I’m nervous as hell. Today I will be facing Shadow Valley Pack, it is time for Alpha Leon to hand over the Pack to Nico. I’m not sure what they are expecting, the only thing I can assume is that Alpha Leon knows he cannot hand over the Pack Nico
I truly believe that Alpha Leon is hoping that no one remembers what their Pack-law states, because they have been planning this ceremony for the past six months and in my mind he should have known that someone from the Elders knows their Pack-laws.
After all every Pack has to send a request to the Elders, if they want to make their Pack-law tighter than our main Laws are and that is something Alpha Leon’s Great Great-grandfather did. He just wanted to make sure that whoever was leading the Pack would be able to make it stronger and the only way to make a Pack stronger is by having a true Mate-bond by his side.
Even though we can no longer find are fated Mate the way our ancestors once did, even back then we had found a new way to find our true Mate-bond and Alpha Leon’s Great Great-grandfather wanted his successor to have a true Mate-bond with his Luna. If only he knew that his Great Great-grandson was about to break that very law.
In the past year I have learned so many different Pack-laws and each Pack is bound to uphold those laws. The only way you can get away from the laws of your ancestors and that is by asking for a trial in front of the king, the King is the only one that can erase a law that was established by a Pack themselves.
Alpha Leon never requested that type of trial and for that reason he cannot hand over the Pack to Nico, something Alpha Leon is very well aware of. If anyone in Shadow Valley Pack knew their Pack-laws, they would have known that Alpha Leon cannot hand over the Pack to Nico and Lucy.
I made sure that I knew every single exception to our main laws and Pack-laws, I wanted to know if there was a loophole Alpha Leon could use and despite hours of studying I was unable to find a loophole he could use.
It was stated very clear that only an Alpha with a true Mate-bond can become the next Alpha of Shadow Valley Pack and everyone in our Pack is well aware of the fact that there is no true Mate-bond between Nico and Lucy. They were there when I rejected him, they were there to hear the truth about my true Mate-bond with Nico and my Father’s request to allow Lucy to take the Luna position.
There is no way Alpha Leon can deny what happened that day and even if he tries it won’t do him any good, because I have the recordings of that day.
We have filled out all the forms that we might need to hand over to Alpha Leon, after we have given him the cancellation order from the Elders and that includes a trial date with the King if he wants to challenge his own Pack-laws.
If he decides to take that trial date and tries to get the King’s support to delete their pack law, I will have everything I need to prove to the King that they don’t deserve to erase that part of their Pack-laws.
Alpha Leon can’t claim that he was unaware of that particular law because his Father was the second Son of the Alpha and he got to take over from his Father because his Brother had rejected his true Mate-bond.
“Dallas, are you ready to head out? It is quite a long drive and Elder Jensen doesn’t want us to be late. He will make it sound as if we are there as a learning experience, but he wants you to stay out of sight and to make sure that no one recognizes you.” Joshua says.
“Joshua, you are sometimes a real pain in the ass. I have no intention of anyone recognizing me, before I get to hand out the cancellation order. I will remain in the car until Elder Jensen gives me the signal to show myself and shut down that Shitshow.” I answer him.
I can hear Joshua and Jesper chuckle as I walk out of my room.
“I already told him that you would obey Elder Jensen’s request, that you wouldn’t want anyone to recognize you and spoil the surprise.” Jasper says
“Did you manage to get a guest list?” I ask Jesper.
Jesper nods affirmative, “It took me a little digging, but I finally managed to find all of the Packs that they have invited for the Alpha and Luna Ceremony. They have invited three of their allies and two Packs they want an alliance with.”
I am surprised to see the name of Alpha Preston’s Pack on the list, it is common knowledge that Alpha Preston isn’t known for indulging Packs that do not follow main laws or their own Pack-laws. This is going to be fun to watch, because even before they can discuss an alliance, it will be all over.
