Her Wrath
Darius‘ p.o.v.
We had a restless night; at first, we all struggled to fall asleep due to the extensive information we received from Elder Jensen. After we finally did fall asleep, Dallas woke up to reveal that Charna had felt a pull toward the Royal family during the trial.
Charna hadn’t mentioned it, because she didn’t understand why or where it came from. Now that she had more information it confirmed what we all suspected: Princess Dezra is Dallas‘ Mother.
“If she is your Mother, how are you going to reveal it to King Vaughn?” Daxton asks while we go through our morning routine.
Dallas doesn’t say anything, but she doesn’t have to; it is clear to see that she is thinking of an answer. I’m unsure if I could come up with a way to explain this to King Vaugh; it doesn’t really concern me.
“I am going to ask Elder Jensen to set up a meeting with the Elders and every member of the Royal family. The tricky part is ensuring that no one can interrupt me, especially Princess Dezra.” Dallas finally answers.
We discuss this matter as we walk into the dining room on the Alpha floor; every other conversation halts when they hear our discussion.
“I can ask King Vaughn to issue an order to everyone not to speak unless they are asked a question.” The only one who isn’t affected by the order will be King Vaughn.” Elder Jensen responds.
Elder Jensen has a point. It won’t affect them if the King or an Alpha gives a general order. An Alpha can’t give another Alpha an order, nor can they give an order to a High–ranking Shifter from outside their Pack. order to a High–ranking Shifter from outside their Pack.
Alphas can order a Low–ranking Shifter from another Pack, but it isn’t as strong. Also, the Shifter can make it clear to his or her Alpha what happened and then their Alpha can break the order, revealing what was supposed to stay hidden.
After breakfast, we all walk down the stairs to the training grounds. We check on the progress of our Pack- members to see if any adjustments are needed in their schedules.
We could have saved ourselves the trouble. Jesper and Joshua are leading this morning’s training and Pablo is following them to take notes. Occasionally, they review what Pablo has written down.
“Alpha Preston, we have some minor adjustments to the training schedule. Can we borrow Gamma Rayden for a few minutes?” Jesper asks.
Rayden doesn’t wait for Preston to respond; he just walks away with Jesper to discuss their observations.
Dallas has wandered off to help out the group of Omegas. They don’t have to train if they don’t want to, but most want to be able to defend themselves.
Daxton and I move closer to the group to listen to our Mate’s instructions. She helps some to improve their posture, while others just need a word of encouragement to take a good swing at their opponent.
Normally, one of us would train them. None of the other Pack–members want to and I am surprised to see that each Omega has a Squad member as their sparring partner.
“Okay, we need to head back to the Pack–house. Elder Venetia just arrived at the gate.” Preston says.
I am curious about the papers Elder Venetia is bringing with her. I have never seen a file belonging to a Royal family member; I wonder if they look similar to our files.
Elder Venetia walks through the front door at the same time that we enter the hallway through the living room.

“I suggest that we start with the file on Princess Dezra. We need to understand why no one in the Royal family ever questioned her story; I was under the impression that Prince Darron was her true Mate–bond.” Elder Venetia says as she sits down.
After placing Princess Dezra’s file on the table, I can tell it differs greatly from the files we keep on Pack-
members.
“Every little detail about their lives gets documented. This is partially because of what happened with Dyala; the other reason is to prevent any false claims of being part of the Royal family.” Elder Jensen explains.
“I have to warn you, Dallas. Dezra is known for being a conning woman, she is a damn good Beta to her Brother. We need to prove that she was at Shadow Valley Pack, that she had a child there and that Walker was her true Mate -bond.” Elder Jensen states.
Dallas smiles at Elder Jensen. “My Mother is conning, you say. I thought you had watched me work over the past year, Elder Jensen. I thought you knew how I operate.‘
“Alpha Preston, can you get the file from the safe?” Dallas asks and I try to remember if I saw her give it to Preston. “Everything I need to prove that Dezra was at Shadow Valley Pack, that she is my Mother and so much more is in here.”
Dallas refuses to let us see what is in her file and she doesn’t even want to read the file that Elder Venetia brought.
“I want to prepare this trial like I prepared the trial for Alpha Leon. I will place both files next to one another in private with Joshua’s assistance; I need a second person present to keep it transparent, I don’t want anyone to accuse me of falsifying documents.
Alpha Preston, can you place both files back into the safe? I will need you and both Elders present when we take the files out. I hope you don’t mind that I will confiscate your office tomorrow; the less those files move around, the better it will be for the trial.” Dallas explains.
It only takes seconds for Preston to place both files in the safe. I hope I get to ask Dallas about her work method; it sounds like she has a unique way of handling her cases.
“How did you figure out the necklace’s background?” Elder Venetia asks and she seems surprised to find out that it was Preston’s ancestor that revealed the ugly truth behind the necklace.
We also find out that no one ever informed the Elders about Dyala’s fate; they only knew that she had left the Palace and that she had no interest in being part of the Kingdom’s rulers. Someone even convinced the Elders that Dyala had asked her Brother for the necklace, she didn’t want the responsibility.
“I am heading back. I want to get to the bottom of this and if I find out who has been covering up the truth, we will take them down at the meeting with King Vaughn.” Elder Venetia says.
I do not want to be on the receiving end of her wrath or my Mate’s.
