Camus feels our bond might form faster than that of Preston and Pearl, an Alpha will always form a bond faster than Shifters and we might need less time than an Alpha.
From the start of finding a connection that can grow into a true Mate-bond, the Elders kept records on how they form and how long it will take for a bond to form.
Depending on your rank, it will take longer; five to six days for an Alpha, six to seven days for a Beta, or a Gamma, and every other rank takes seven to eight days.There is an exception to those rules and that is reserved for the Royals, their bond will form in four to five days.
We found our connection three days ago, and the way Camus is talking, we might get our bond within five days, but we aren’t Alphas or Royals.
“Daxton, what does Cyran say about our bond?” I ask my Brother through the mind-link, once we are alone with Dallas, I will ask her what Charna feels from our bond.
“He says it is forming fast, too fast according to him.” Daxton answers and I think we need to talk to Dallas about this, so I guide her to the Beta floor.
“Sorry, but I need to get some answers and I don’t want to ask them out here.” I say to Dallas as we walk up the stairs to our floor, a floor we left little over an hour ago.
“I will not release your Mother.” Dallas says as she turns towards me, the moment the door closes behind us.
I silence her with a kiss, the best way to shut up your Mate and a very pleasant way if you ask me. I pull her closer to my body, while Daxton steps behind her, sandwiching her between us.
“That wasn’t going to be my question, Little One.” I say after I have broken our kiss. “I want to know what Charna tells you about our bond.”
Dallas looks at me for a moment, then it is as if she gets pulled into herself and we just hold on to her. This alwayshappens when our Shifter half wants to show us something to explain themselves better and hopefully Dallas will have a few more answers in a few moments.
I keep an eye on her eyes to see when Charna is done with their conversation and the moment her eyes slowly become focused again I can breathe a little easier again.
“Charna says that this is going faster than with Nico, it took us a week and he has Alpha blood.” Dallas states and 1 know that Daxton is as confused as l am.
“Why would be a good question, but I doubt any of us has the answer.” Dallas says, uncaring about the time difference between her bonds forming.
Dallas’ p.o.v.
Something is putling at the back of my mind, but I can’t get a hold of it and figure out what it might mean.
I do understand that our bond shouldn’t be forming this fast and yet it doesn’t feel wrong, it feels right and I hope that we will be able to complete this bond quickly.
“Captain, we have finished going over the books. This is really bad, we need to talk to Alpha Preston.” One of my Squad members says through the mind-link, pulling me from my thoughts on my Mate-bond.
“Is your office soundproof, Darius?” I ask and I see his eyes darken, causing me to blush. “Not for that, Old Man.”
I swat his chest with minimum force, but then again 1 am trapped between both my Mates and can’t take a good swing at Darius, even if I wanted to.
“There is news on the Pack’s finances and it didn’t sound good.” I-say as I try to wiggle out of their arms, but neither one of them is willing to let me go. Both of them bury their noses in my neck and I moan when their lips brush over my marking spots.
“Okay, I will link the others on our way down. I want to get to the bottom of this and preferably yesterday.” Daxton. says as he slowly pulls away from me and I immediately miss the warmth of his embrace.I reach back to grab his hand and pull him back against me, not ready to leave the Beta floor just yet. Going out there means that we can’t touch one another until we are inside an office again and I want to enjoy this feeling a little longer.
“Message received.” Daxton chuckles as he moves his arm around me again. “I wish this Mate-bond was done, that we don’t have to hide this any longer and it only has been-three days.”
Half an hour later we are all in Darius’ office and looking at the evidence in front of us that shows us that this pattern has been going on for decades.
“How the hell did they get away with this? Where the hell is that money?” Preston asks and I look up at Mara for an answer.
“You mean how did she get away with it, Alpha Preston.
She used computers that others were logged in to, probably causing a distraction to get them away from their seats. It is probably also the reason for the small amounts, more would have alerted others.” Mara states.
“The money is still in an account at the same bank that the Pack uses, but I made sure that she can no longer access it. It will take a while before she can access it anyway, I doubt there is a computer in the dungeons she can use.” It is good that this is a soundproof office, but everyone will have felt the Pack-house shake.
Mara points out how they found the account the missingmoney went to, but there was no name on the account, just a business name. It took them a few hours to find out who the owner was and that is when they saw that this had been going on for years.
As the Mate of a Beta, Madeline would have known the, bookkeeping program worked and how to keep the missing money hidden. She was smart enough to avoid using her old code, realizing it would point to her immediately.
“Damn, your Mother is piece of work. She is stealing from the Pack, she tries to force one Son into a chosen Mate-bond, refuses that same Son his birthright. What else will w? uncover?” I ask no one in particular, because | think that I already have that answer.
Now l am really hoping that Joshua returns after our Mate
-bond is completed, because I know that Daxton holds many answers locked in that brain of his and we need those answers when Sage arrives.
We spent the rest of the day in the office, going over everything that was uncovered and we only came out for lunch and dinner. Walking up to the Beta floor already half asleep, but at least we managed to get through all the evidence..
If Darius had the hope that some day his Mother and his Brother could have some sort of relationship, then today that hope got crushed. Both of them genuinely hate their Mother at the moment and in a few days it will onlybecome worse.
