Dallas‘ p.o.v.
Why do people believe they can look down on others?
I never asked for anything that happened to me in my childhood, but I didn’t take it out on others. I didn’t believe that someone owed me something, because my Father was an Asshole.
Anyone can have abad day and say or do something that isn’t normal for them, but to act as if someone is beneath you because of their rank or job is ludicrous. To act as if the world owes you for whatever damn reason is right behind it.
Can we sit in on that meeting?” I whisper to Quinlan because I really want to hear what Elder Jeff has to say for himself and hopefully find out if more Elders share the same sentiment.
“Yes, even if I have to demand it. I want the Elders to represent the Shifters in our Kingdom and not to determine who is entitled to what information.” Quinlan responds.
We are sifting through the files to find a date and then we stack them together. From there, we will start with the oldest files to see what needs to be done with them. Some might need to be checked thoroughly, while others can be put away immediately.
“Uhm, what do we do with files that are stuck to the table?” Benton asks, holding onto a file.
“I will get you a new cover. Is there anything written on that one?” Quinlan says as he grabs a new cover for Benton. Both of them look at the old cover, but there is no writing on it.
We decided to clear the desk and coffee table first, before trying to get through the rest of the stacks. Daxton continues walking from the Beta office to the Guardian office to ensure the files are placed with the correct date.
“Okay, that is enough. Lock both offices and continue in the morning.” Aunt Eliza says from the doorway.
We dust ourselves off as we get to our feet and Aunt Eliza makes a funny face as the dust settles on the floor. It’s a good thing she didn’t see what the floor looked like before Quinlan asked a Servant to vacuum it, not that it improved anything, or she would be grossed out.
“Take a shower, get changed and meet us in our living room.” Aunt Eliza says before she walks up the stairs.
Quinlan and his Brothers follow their Mother, while Dave leads us to an elevator. It turns out Dezra was a lazy bum and had an elevator installed that only goes to the Beta floor. Yeah, that’s correct. The elevator only has one floor it stops on, the Beta floor.
“This damn thing has to go or it needs to be adjusted to stop on every floor.” Daxton says as he steps into the elevator.
“Aunt Eliza will probably have it adjusted to benefit the entire family.” Benton mumbles.
Despite being in the elevator with a 6“6 man behind me and both my Brothers at just over 6“, I don’t feel uncomfortable. because the elevator is spacious enough.
“Yeah, you are right. This thing needs to benefit the entire family and not just us.” I respond. Maybe I’m missing something here, but why would Uncle Vaughn allow Dezra to install an elevator and have it stop only on one floor?
“Maybe she misled him with information when she asked to have it installed.” Charna responds to my thoughts.
With her history of lying and half–truths, I wouldn’t put it past her. Something I am going to ask Uncle Vaughn about during dinner and ask him to check if it is possible to adjust it.
Our shower took a little longer than it could have, but I enjoyed it and I know that my Brothers know what we did in there and I don’t give a crap.
“Took you long enough.” Benton mumbles as we walk out the door
“Not long enough.” Daxton replies and I am torn between laughing or smacking my Mate on the head.
Dinner is loud and exciting, it feels like dinner with Preston and Pearl. It still catches me off guard at times, because I am used to

having dinner by myself. No one ever bothered to call me up to the Alpha floor or the main dining room for dinner and I got used to it quickly enough.
The Omegas always stocked our fridge on the Beta floor and the pantry was never empty either. So, I made my own meals for a very long time.
I answer questions when they are directed at me, but other than that, I listen to the conversations everyone else is having. Mostly complaints about the mess in the Beta office and questions about why no one had ever noticed.
Grandpa is looking at me when Benton tells them about the cover that was stuck to the coffee table, not believing a word his Grandson said.
p, it was stuck to the table. Guess I need to get myself a new coffee table.” I answer Grandpa. “I will wait until we have cleared every surface, because there might be more furniture that needs to be replaced.”
“It can’t be that bad.” Grandpa says, but the looks he gets from the others tells him enough about the state of that office. One of the Servants whispers that it’s that bad and now Grandpa is starting to look angry. He probably didn’t expect his Daughter to do what she did, but then again, he probably wouldn’t have expected her to abandon her Daughter.
“Why don’t you join us in the morning, Grandpa?” I ask. “So you can see with your own eyes that we were not exaggerating.” “Tricking him into helping?” Daxton asks through our mind–link and I bury my face in his chest to avoid anyone seeing the smirk on my face.
I can be conning when I need to be, but that wasn’t at the back of my mind. I truly wanted Grandpa to see what kind of Beta his Daughter was, to understand that there are probably issues she never addressed.
Damn, how many problems or issues went unresolved because she chose to dump the files in her office without looking at them.
