Forming A Bond
Darius‘ p.o.v.
I am grateful that Preston agreed with me and we are taking the underground garage to get access to the Pack–house. I see one of the Squad’s SUVS following us and the next thing I know Dallas has jumped out of the still moving SUV.
Daxton jumps after her and a second later I follow them both, but I am stunned into silence when I hear her roar at Jesper. Camus whimpers in my head, I don’t recall if Preston ever managed to do that to him and here our Little One makes my Lycan whimper like a Pup.
Okay, that roar held a lot of power and even Daxton is staring at Dallas.
“Make sure that everyone knows that we have a Squad in the territory, there is just one small problem.” Preston says. “How do we explain their presence without revealing that the two of you found your connection?”
Oh, Damn. He is absolutely right, if Mother hears about this all hell will break loose. She will try to scare off Dallas and she will use whatever she can to accomplish that.
Jesper is staring at one of our female Warriors and I think I have found a solution, but Dallas beats me to the punch.
“What about using those two?” Dallas asks, while pointing from Jesper to Belinda.
“Their Mother and Daniella left shortly after the Alpha left, I doubt they know who the Alpha brought along exactly.” Belinda says and I know that she had been on the list, but her baby Brother got ill during the night.
“That is fine by me, I swore to protect you with my life and this is a small sacrifice, Captain.” Jesper responds and I feel a bit better with the knowledge that Mother will be in the dark for a little longer.
“Uhm, doesn’t your Mother know that a Squad only moves into a territory when their Captain finds a connection?” Belinda asks and I hear Daxton groan behind me.
It is true, Mother would know that tiny piece of information and that probably means that she won’t buy this for a second.
“If your Mother understands so much, then I assume that she understands that finding a second connection will take even longer. We will just say that Jesper is the first to find his second connection, Joshua and I are still waiting for our second connection.
I don’t want to keep my third in command from having children and having them in Scarlet Crescent territory isn’t the best place.” Dallas explains and everyone around us is nodding

their heads.
Before it is midnight, the entire Pack will know the story that we came up with and Mother will probably réalize too late that we also found our connection.
“Okay, let’s get inside and up to the Alpha floor. I could use some food, after all we missed dinner at Shadow Valley Pack.” Pearl says and at that exact moment, Dallas‘ stomach decides to make itself known.
We take the elevator to the Alpha floor, where we have a quick dinner and then Dallas points out another tiny problem.
“How do we explain my presence on the Beta floor?” She asks, before stuffing her face with
dessert.
That had slipped my mind, Mother might not be welcome on our floor anymore. It doesn’t mean that others won’t talk about Dallas being on the Beta floor or about us spending a lot of time together.
“How about a little lie? We move you, Jesper and Joshua onto the Beta floor with the explanation that you are all High–ranks within the Squad and need a place that not everyone has access to.” Pearl says.
The floor for our High–ranking members is big enough to house many people and there are multiple offices on each floor, making it easier for Dallas to do her job with Jesper and
Joshua.
“Belinda, that means that you move to the Beta floor as well and don’t forget about Marco.” Daxton says and I see Jesper staring at her.
“He is my baby Brother and I take care of him. Our Dad died a few years ago and Mom hasn’t been herself ever since. I moved him into my room when I found out that she hadn’t fed him for three days, he is in the infirmary at the moment. It is getting better, but I can’t give him the care that he really needs.” Belinda whispers.
“Jesper, join Belinda to the infirmary. Visit Marco and talk to the Doctor, find out everything you can. Let me know what Marco needs and I will take care of everything.” Dallas says, well she practically orders him.
We keep Dallas between the both of us, not that she is trying to get away from us and I like it that she is as invested in this connection as Daxton and I are.
“Alpha Preston, how much money does Belinda owe the infirmary?” Dallas asks and I am not surprised to hear that she would know this.
“Nothing for basic care or injuries sustained during training or fighting. Marco is a different

story, his condition derives from being neglected by his Mother and I am not sure what the costs are so far or how much will be needed in the future.” Preston answers her.
She just nods her head as she pulls out her phone and I see her looking at a bank balance, but I can’t tell whose bank balance it is.
“If you could get me those numbers, I would appreciate it. Jesper has enough money in the bank, he has been with this Squad for almost seven years and never needed to spend much of his money. Even if this connection doesn’t turn into a true Mate–bond, he would still pay for the medical bills.” Dallas says.
Preston looks at her as if she has gone nuts, “If someone had paid attention, then Jesper’s baby Sister would still be alive and he will never allow another to suffer the way that she did.”
She states.
Dallas would probably use her own money to settle the bill, if Jesper didn’t have enough money. He could only admire her for her beliefs and he would be more than happy to help her if she needed or wanted his help.
“Just to inform you all, our story has been leaked and everyone seems to accept it.” Pearl
says.
Now all we need to do is hope that Mother and Daniella believe this story and that Daxton and I get the time to form our bond with Dallas.
