Darius nods his head and I know that everyone will be in the Alpha office as Dallas has requested, I would like to know why she is requesting us to go to the Alpha office.
“Preferably the Alpha office on the Alpha floor, it will make Dallas feel better to know that no one can barge in.” Joshua says.
– A few seconds later Darius informs us that the others are on their way up and we are waiting on the landing of our floor for Dallas, Jesper is following her up the stairs and I wrap my arms around her to bury my nose in her neck.
The bond may still be forming, but just holding her is enough to calm Cyran down. He has been murderous ever since Joshua informed us about our Mother’s stunt and Camus seems to be in a similar state.
Once l am confident that I can control Cyran’s anger, I move back a little to look at Dallas and my heart skips a beat at the smile she gives me.
Preston is staring at Darius, probably not understanding why he was asked to come to his private office or why the entire leadership needed to be here.
“Can anyone tell me what is going on?” Pearl asks and she looks at Dallas for answers.”Alpha, what do you know about the accusations against Daxton?” Dallas asks, instead of answering Pearl’s question.
Preston tells her what I had told him and I see stunned looks on the faces of Pearl and Ruth, they never knew about that incident. I didn’t ask Preston or Rayden to keep it quiet, they just did.
“What can you tell us about Sage, Alpha Preston?” Jesper asks, before anyone can respond to the answer Preston just gave.
“Sage was a She-wolf from a Pack up north, she was traveling with a few Warriors to find her connection. She would stay in a Pack for six to twelve months, depending on the size of the Pack or at least that was the plan.” Preston answers. “Our Pack was the first she visited and she would travel back up north, visiting every Pack along the way.”
“Daxton, can you tell us what happened that night?” Dallas asks while she looks at me.
I would like to tell you what happened that night, but I can’t remember anything from that night. The last thing I remember is walking into the dining room and the next thing I remember is Darius waking me up in the morning.”I Ianswer, while I keep our eyes locked.
She turns to Darjus, but he just shakes his head. He can’t tell her either, because he wasn’t in the territory that night and neither were Rayden and Preston.
“Darius and Rayden were with me that night, I was visiting a Pack about two hours away from here. We were supposed to get home that night around midnight, but a Rogue attack on that Pack made that impossible.” Preston answers.
“Sage left the territory about a week later without a word. She only told our former Alpha and my Father what happened that night.” Rayden states. “None of us have seen her again, not even while visiting other Packs.”
I watch Dallas as she seems to be deep in thought, I wish I could see what was going on in there. Her eyes keep changing color and it Is clear that she is talking to Charna.
*Did your Father tape that conversation, Alpha Preston?” Dallas asks and he grabs his laptop to pull up the footage.
know that you all want answers, but I would like to look into this with Joshua and Jesper. Just know that none of us belleve a word of what your Mother said.” Dallas says.
“Why don’t you wait in the living room? I will call you if I have some questions.” Dallas states, before she grabs Preston’s laptop and I understand that she will find answers if there are answers to find.
Dallas’ p.o.v.
After everyone has left Preston’s office, Joshua and Jesper sit down next to me on the couch and I press play on the footage on the screen.
The three of us are staring at the screen, a young female is sitting in a chair near the desk and her head is hanging low. We listen to her story as she tells it to the former Alpha and former Gamma, reptaying it again to look at her body language and again to look and listen for anything we might have missed the other two times.
After going through the footage two more times, I send Joshua out to the living room to get Alpha Preston.
“Alpha, can you tell me why Daxton stayed home?” I ask him, after he has sat down in an armchair.
“It was his turn to stay behind. Darius, Daxton and Rayden took turns staying behind when I had to visit other Packs, I wasn’t the Alpha yet and we wanted to stay in the loop on what happened here during our absence.” Preston answers me.
It made sense to me that Preston wanted to know how the Pack was doing at all times and leaving a member of the future leadership behind would make that possible.
“Was Darius alone when he woke up Daxton?” Jesper asks and Preston shakes his head.
“No, Rayden and I were with him. We wanted to tell Daxton that none of us had found a connection, but walking into the room that morning was weird.” Preston answers.
“Darius stayed in the room by the door to the landing, it is the only room that isn’t soundproof and they stay there for a reason. If anyone wanted to enter the Alpha floor, they would be woken up the momentthe door opened. It was a precaution one of my ancestors put in place. but no one outside this Pack’s leadership knows about it.
The strange thing was the scent in the room, it made me a bit nauseous. I never smelled something like it before and never again after that day.” Preston states and I ask him to describe the scent.
“Almost like walking into a room that is filled with cotton candy, it was too much of a sweet scent.” He answers.
“Did anyone see Sage that morning or on any other day before she left?” I ask Preston, but he has to tell me that no one saw her again.
Joshua guides him out of the office and when Rayden sits down, he gets the same questions and his answers are basically the same. He describes the smell in the room as sticking your head in a yar filled with pink marshmallows with a sugarcoat.
Darius gives me similar answers to my questions and his analogy of the sweet scent in the room is a mix of Preston and Rayden’s answers.
Daxton doesn’t remember anything from that night and he was too groggy when he woke up to remember how the room smelled. All he could remember from that morning was the splitting headache he had and that Cyran had been absent, probably fast asleep in the back of his head.
