The Beta
Phaineian Kingdom
Every Pack gets informed about the same information King Vaughn is giving their Alphas and Lunás, including the tragic ending of Princess Dyala.
The Elder explains that after Dyala’s ordeal, each Royal family member takes an oath at eighteen and the consequences of breaking that oath.
Beta Walker is surprised to hear that name for the second time in his life, but he is surprised when they are informed of what the necklace had been used for. The actual cause of Princess Dyala’s death was a surprise for him and he felt a little sorry for the woman who was basically murdered by her Mate.
He tunes out the voices for a bit, trying to figure out why his former Mate had given him that necklace for Dallas. “Because Dallas has a Lycan, Dumbass.” His Wolf responds to his thoughts.
He returns his attention to the Elder on the front porch, who gives everyone time to think about what she has said about Dyala and her necklace.

“Okay, this is not the only issue I must bring to your attention. Over twenty years ago, Princess Dezra left tħe Palace to search for her true Mate–bond and you all have heard the story about how she found him rather quickly after leaving the Palace.” The Elder states.
Every Pack–member has heard about their story, but no one has ever seen Princess Dezra because she wants to keep her family out of the public eye.
Walker listens as the Elder tells them about the Princess drugging her Protector to get away from the Palace in secret and about her return after several years. They discover that Princess Dezra had lied about the bond between her and Prince Darron and that she had, in fact, rejected her true Mate–bond after their child was born.
“Princess Dezra lied to King Vaughn about miscarrying her first pregnancy and she stole the necklace from the family vault to make sure her Daughter would never shift into a Lycan if that were her fate.” The Elder concludes. “What the fuck!” Walker’s Wolf exclaims. “Our Mate was a Princess and she never told us about it.‘
Only a handful of Pack–members understand the meaning of the Elder’s words, because they know who Princess Dezra wanted to end up with that necklace.
Walker is upset that his Mate didn’t tell him the truth, that she kept quiet about the future he could have had. He hates that he never had the luxury life he could have gotten if his Mate had been honest.
“We can still have a luxury life, our Daughter is the next Royal Beta. Turns out that she isn’t a complete waste of space.” Walker’s Wolf mumbles. It seems that Walker will try to take advantage of his Daughter’s position or at least he thinks he can take advantage of it.
“Your Alpha and Luna will be introduced to Princess Dezra’s Daughter in a short while and until that happens, I will keep this information to myself. If you have any questions, then ask them. If I have the answer, I will give it to you.” The Elder says, before she asks one of the Omegas for coffee.
“You know who he is talking about and so do I.” Lucy whispers to her Father. “Why does she get handed everything on a silver platter?”
Each Pack has gotten the same information as Shadow Valley Pack and the Elders have been answering questions for which they have an answer.

Except for Shadow Valley Pack, no other Pack will react significantly to discovering who Princess Dezra’s Daughter is. Elder Venetia volunteered to inform Shadow Valley Pack, because she wants to see how Walker, Lucy
d Nico will react to that information.
At the Palace
Alpha Leon is listening as King Vaughn explains how his Sifter lied to him and an Elder about her time away from the Palace and that Princess Dezra took the necklace out of the vault to keep her Daughter from shifting at
seventeen.
“Unfortunately for my Sister, she made a huge mistake in giving the necklace to her first Mate. He wanted to use the necklace for his firstborn Daughter and not the Daughter he had with Princess Dezra. Their Daughter shifted into a Lycan at seventeen and will be the next Royal Beta of Phaineian Kingdom.
At least two Alphas know my Niece and I assume it will be a real shock to at least one of them. Alphas and Lunas, I would like to introduce you to Princess Dallas.” King Vaughn says.
Dalla’s walks up next to her Uncle and she sees the look on Alpha Leon’s face–an expression of utter disbelief.
Preston is the first Alpha to get out of his seat and walks toward King Vaughn and Dallas to acknowledge her position as a Royal family member and the future Royal Beta.
Preston looks at King Vaughn, because he can’t say anything to Dallas without King Vaughn breaking his order. King Vaughn understands Preston’s intent and breaks the order to allow him to show the other Alphas how to follow protocol.
“Princess Dallas, my Mate and I wish you the best of luck on your new endeavor in life. If you are ever near Silver Eclipse Pack, please stop by. I would like a chance to get to know our future Royal Beta.” Alpha Preston says with Luna Pearl by his side.
Many other Alphas and Lunas follow his example and King Vaughn breaks their order one by one.
Alpha Leon is the last one to walk toward King Vaughn and Dallas, trying to figure out how to get Dallas back with his Son. On the outside, Alpha Leon looks calm and collected, but a war is raging on the inside.
“Princess Dallas, I hope you visit your Father and Sister soon. They will be thrilled to see you again and to hear about your stay at the Palace.” Alpha Leon says with what would sound like a sincere voice to most guests in the Throne room.
“Alpha Leon, I believe anyone can understand that I have no desire to see my Father or my half Sister. I doubt much good would come from it.” Dallas responds firmly.
“For those of you who weren’t at the new trial recently held here at the Palace, my Father is the Beta of Shadow Valley Pack and neglected to mention to his Alpha that he had gotten a woman pregnant. This was before he met Princess Dezra.” Dallas continues.
