Time Difference
Darius‘ pov.

Mother is standing to the side of the porch with Daniella, scowling at Dallas, who seems oblivious to it.
Her Squad members are paying attention and two of them step behind Mother, but they don’t say or do anything Both men have their arms folded in front of their chest and recognize Pablo as one of them, his angry eyes focused on Daniella.
“Why did you attack Marco?” Dallas asks Laurence, Lara’s Baby Brother.
Laurence refuses to answer her and keeps his eyes turned to the treeline, but it seems that we will get a lesson in what a Squad Captain within the territory means for all our Pack–members.
Camus pushes forward the moment he senses Charna near the surface and Laurence screams bloody murder when she grabs his neck, lifting him off the ground.
“Who asked you to attack Marco?” Dallas asks, her face less than an inch away from his face. Her green eyes are almost glowing with Charna front and center.
“My Sister, Lara.” Laurence says and before anyone can react Lara is on her knees in front of Dallas.
Rayden takes Laurence from her hand and the moment she steps towards Lara, the Omega starts to cry.
“Beta female Madeline told me to do it. I didn’t want to, but she promised to reinstate my position as the Omega for the Beta floor,” Lara says, in between sobs.
“Pablo, place Madeline in a cell.” Dallas says and Mother starts to object to it. “For impersonating a Beta female. She lost that title when her Mate died, she holds no power at all.”
I stare at our Mate for a moment, but I doubt that anyone could tell you the real reason for my staring, Every Pack- member will assume that I was staring at her for sending my Mother to the dungeons, but I was staring at her because I could get away with it.
“Darius, stop her. I am your Mother and you are the Beta, you can stop her from doing this to me.” Mother is screaming
“Sorry, Mother, Captain Dallas outranks me, I am unsure if she outranks Alpha Preston, but I can’t go against her orders.” I tell my Mother, knowing full well that she will never plead with Preston as she does with me.
I look over my shoulder to see Preston standing in the doorway and Mother can’t see him. The sneaky little bastard is hiding, because he doesn’t want to hear my Mother’s whining.
“Lara and Laurence, you are both on probation. If one of you makes a mistake, both of you will be banished. Is that clear?” Dallas asks, both of them mumble their understanding of their punishment and I hope both of them will behave themselves from here on out.
says the moment
“Both of you are also banned from the Pack–house, I will not tolerate behavior like this.” Pearl says she steps next to Dallas.
Okay, I need to keep this in mind. Those two are creepy together and not afraid to dish out a punishment, pissing one of them off will be bad enough but both. No, thank you.
“Just to make sure that everyone understands what just happened. Captain Dallas has the ability to punish each and everyone of you and I will not stop her if she has the law on her side.” Preston states before he dismisses
everyone.
We follow Dallas back inside and I can’t wait to spend a few more hours alone with her, our bond is forming fast.

Time Different
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 tank 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.
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 Chama 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 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 always happens 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 I know that Daxton is as confused as I 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.
