Book 2: The Forgotten Princess revealed.
Dallas‘ p.o.v.
I have been back at Silver Eclipse Pack for nearly twenty four hours and have spent them locked on the Beta floor.
+25 BONUS
Daxton and Darius have been doing their jobs for Preston, but none of us has told them what happened at the Palace or what the outcome was. Uncle Vaughn–I can no longer call him King–asked that we wait a few days.
A
He has an idea on how to reveal everything to everyone in the Kingdom and wants some time to organize it with the help of some Elders. He didn’t give me specifics, but I did give him a week to inform the Kingdom before the meeting, so I am okay with it.
“Princess, Preston wants us to meet him in his office.” Daxton says as he walks into the living room. They have been calling me that ever since we got back, it is kinda funny if you are in on the joke, but I can’t wait for them to go back to calling me Little One. We walk down the stairs to the Alpha office together and everyone is already waiting for us to join them.
“Okay, here is why I wanted you all to meet me. King Vaughn has sent out a message to all Packs in the Kingdom. Every Alpha and Luna has to report to the Palace in three days; on that same day, an Elder will arrive at their Pack to explain what is happening there.
I was sent an additional message to bring Dallas, Daxton, and Darius with me, but no reason was specified. Rayden, that means that you will be in charge.” Preston says as he looks at me questioningly.
“Sorry, King Vaughn asked us not to say anything. I have no idea what will happen that day, but I am sure he won’t take over your Pack.” I say and Preston laughs at my last remark.
They know more than other Alphas and I doubt they haven’t put two and two together. Preston just hoped we would lift a tip of the veil on this topic, but he will have to wait for answers, just like everyone else.
“Nosy Parker.” Pearl says. “You will have to wait to get all the answers. Daxton made that clear after they returned from the Palace and you will have to be patient.”
We all know that Preston isn’t the most patient person alive. If there are answers to a question, he wants them immediately and does not want to wait until everyone gets those answers. This will be so frustrating for him and Pearl is probably enjoying herself.
“Did you check your workload?” I ask my Mates through our mind–link. “I am unsure if we will be able to return to Silver Eclipse with Uncle Vaughn being without a Beta.”
We discussed this on our way back, because it is clear that we can’t leave our Kingdom without a Beta. But we don’t want to leave Preston hanging either or Silver Eclipse without a Beta.
“We can get most of it resolved before we head back to the Palace, but there are a few things that we will need to hand over to whoever takes the Beta position. Maybe one of us should return with Preston and explain which tasks still need to be taken care of.” Darius responds.
Daxton is already objecting to the idea, but I fear that Darius has a valid point. They grew up here and have always had this Pack’s best interest at heart, so they can’t just abandon them.
I don’t like the idea any more than Daxton does, but I understand where Darius is coming from.
“Stop arguing. Both of you have a point and we will discuss this in private.” I scold them through our mind–link when I realize everyone is looking at us.
“Sorry, private argument. We will take this to our floor to discuss and in the meantime, we will stop using our mind–link.” I say. I hate it when someone does this to me, so why should I do it to someone else?
We head up to the Beta floor after we have discussed logistics on our trip to the Palace, because I have to bring my Squad with me

A Solution (book 2)
as well and that causes a whole other issue I can’t explain to Preston at the moment
“You were hiding something, Princess.” Darius says the moment the door closes behind us.
+25 BONUS
“Stop calling me Princess, I hate it. I am not hiding something, but I did realize that this will mean even more inconvenience for Preston and Silver Eclipse Pack.” I say a bit irritated.
I point at the painting of one of my ancestors, King Malcolm. Every child gets taught his story, because it meant a massive change for the Kingdom.
King Malcolm had been the first in his generation to shift into a Lycan and wouldn’t take over the Throne until he had his Beta and Gamma. It still works that way to this day; there is no new leadership until all members are known.
Instead of wasting time waiting for his family members to shift, he joined the Elders to keep himself busy and useful. Like me, he became a Squad Captain and enjoyed his career until he had to take over from his Aunt.
The Law was changed for King Malcolm because he refused to leave his Squad. The Law states that if one member of the new leadership happens to be a Squad Captain, that Squad will take over as the Guards for the Royal family.
In short, my Squad will replace the current Guards and Silver Eclipse will lose a Squad living in their territory.
“Damn, that sucks.” Daxton replies when he realizes what I mean. “Preston was looking forward to having the Squad train with our Pack–members. He was hoping it would strengthen our Pack more and give our Pack–members new ways of fighting off the enemy.”
I might have a solution, but I will not mention it until I have talked to Uncle Vaughn. I’d rather not disappoint anyone if he disagrees with me.
