just hope that the King has changed this trial enough to actually benefit those involved and that isn’t just a charade to please the powerful.” Preston growls.
Our Pack-laws haven’t changed since the first Alpha of Silver Eclipse Pack drafted them up, they have an added value to our main Laws. Just to make sure that breaking a Law would mean a bigger punishment than the King or the Elders asked for.
It is also why Daxton and I share the Beta title, not just because it is stated in our main Laws that a multiple will share a position, but also because our Pack-law says so.
Our Pack-law is a bit mere clear on when a multiple won’t share a position and it is what saved Daxton from losing his right to the Beta title. Only if convicted by the King and the Elders, a multiple won’t share a position and Daxton and I have never been convicted of a crime.
We spend the next few hours going over housing the Squad members, only Jesper and Dallas found a connection that can turn into a true Mate bond and that means that we can have others live together in a cottage.
“What about those old Omega houses? Maybe that will be a better idea, especially if they return from an assignment.” Daxton offers and I think he has a good point.
“Why don’t we let Dallas decide on that? It is her Squad and she will know if they would appreciate the offer.” Preston says. “It will also make it a little easier to apologize to her.”
Of course, Preston has a double agenda. However, in this case I can’t blame him. Not only is his Mate pissed, Dallas is also pissed at him.
“I guess you are right, it would go a long way if you could show her thatyou understand that the Squad is her responsibility.” Daxton replies
We grab all the blueprints of the Omega houses, there is a lot that needs to be done to them and the sooner we can start on it, the better.
“Any idea on how we are going to apologize to Dallas?” Daxton asks through our mind-link, I just shrug my shoulders because I have no. idea at the moment.
Dallas is staring out the window when we get to the Atpha floor and I am at a loss for words at the moment. I hadn’t expected her to join us for lunch, so l am just staring at her.
“Do you know who served the Beta family when your Father was still alive?” I hear Dallas ask, but she doesn’t take her eyes off whatever it is that she is looking at. “She did and she still reports to your Mother.”
Daxton and I both walk up to the window to see the Omega from this morning, the one that approached Dallas before she walked out of the dining room.
“Are you mad at us?” Daxton finally asks and her head snaps up to him.
“No, I am not mad. Disappointed, yes.” She says and I hate it even more that we disappointed her than that we made her angry with us.
“You are the Betas of this Pack and as such you should know the Laws, even if it doesn’t apply to your Pack. A Squad Captain only answers to the Elders and if a Captain refuses to answer to them, the King gets involved.” Dallas says.
She is right, this is something that we are aware of and we forgot or maybe we conveniently forgot.
“I’m sorry. We do know the Laws that concern a Squad, every Beta has to know them or we might accidentally cause a war or something. I think we just didn’t want to remember that particular part of the Law, because I didn’t feel comfortable with you not giving us a straightanswer.” Daxton says.
“And that has more to do with the connection between us, than it has to do with you being a Squad Captain.” I add to his response.
I don’t want her to think that we feel that she can’t do her job, we know that she can do her job and she is damn good too.
Shadow Valley Pack
“Walker, what does Dallas have on us?” Alpha Leon asks. “I want to know what kind of questions I might get from the King.”
Walker stares at his Alpha, he has been going over it in his mind and has come up with nothing. He thought that he played his cards right, his Alpha who happens to be his closest friend is unaware of his biggest secret and he intends to keep it that way.
“ALL I can think of is footage from the day she left, but we made sure that it was all deleted. Everything else that happened after that day has been kept a secret from the outside world, your Alpha command took care of that.” Walker finally answers his Alpha and best friend.
Alpha Leon isn’t worried about the trial, he has been through quite a few in his years as the Alpha of Shadow Valley Pack and he knows how to deal with certain questions.
However, he does need to know what kind of questions to look forward to, only then can he prepare himself for this trial and with Dallas being the unknown factor in this story he might be in for a surprise or two.
Well, he will be in for a surprise on the day of the trial. This will be something completely different and even if he had known I doubt Alpha Leon could have prepared for everything that will come his way.
A knock on the door interrupts their conversation and Alpha Leon growls softly when he smells his Mate on the other side of the door.
“Leon, when can we go over the budgets? We have been pushing it back, over and over again and the Pack-members are getting a bit antsy.” Luna Hannah says after she has closed the door.
“We still can’t get into the system and we have had no luck in finding out what went wrong. The budgets will stay the same as last year andanything unexpected has to be p?t on the back burner.” Alpha Leon answers.
He does know what has happened, but he isn’t going to tell his Mate or his Beta. Neither one of them has to know that he screwed things up and that it is his fault that they no longer have access to the system.
Hannah leaves her Mate and his Beta in the Alpha office, she knows that Leon is lying but she can’t prove it. Just like she knows that Beta Walker is lying about something and again she has no evidence to support her feelings.
When Alpha Leon had chosen this system for their Pack’s finances, he put a security measure into place that is biting them in the ass at the moment. If the password was put into the system incorrectly three times, it would lock that person out of the system.
Walker had put in the wrong password three times, even though all three of them had been watching closely as he typed in the password from the sticky note. He hadn’t made any mistakes in typing the password and it was the same one as he made six years ago.
