Quinlan’s p.o.v.
I feel Larissa stiffening beside me when we listen to Don speaking about the connection between Jason and Joshilyn, about how it almost got broken.
It is easy to understand why Joshilyn had trouble with their connection, but Jason did the right thing by prioritizing her needs. He knew she needed time and when she was ready to accept him, he thought about their future.
A future that would be hell if they had spent it here, even though I doubt Dean or Luke would have allowed them into the territory.
“Jason and Joshilyn are waiting in an SUV outside the territory. Jason refuses to set foot in the territory, while Luke still holds the title. Captain Brandon says.
“Your Majesty, can you strip Luke of his title, while Jason and Joshilyn make their way over to the Pack–house?” Larissa asks. “Jason has to be inside the territory to get the Alpha powers, but I also understand his reluctance to face his Alpha Brother!”
Captain Brandon walks out of the office once Dad nods his head and Daxton goes up to the Alpha floor to get Alpha Luke and his family.
“Smart thinking, Young Lady.” Dad says as he gets up and opens the door to the patio. “Joshua, gather all the Pack–members at the front of the Pack–house.”
Dallas walks out of the office and a moment later, she returns. A few minutes after that, an Omega walks in with some lunch and in that moment, I realize that I am starving.
We take our time eating lunch and getting some refreshments before we need to go outside to inform this Pack of the changes that will happen today.
Mom links her arm with Larissa to follow Dad out of the office and I step on Larissa’s other side. The rest follow us to the front porch, where we wait for all the Pack–members to gather. Daxton has his hand on Luke’s neck to prevent him from going anywhere, but in the direction Daxton
wants.
“Good afternoon.” Dad says. “For those of you who haven’t heard the rumor mill yet, former Alpha Dean is no longer among us. He made the mistake of trying to harm me, my nephew–in–law was injured trying to protect me and Princess Dallas took the only action she could,”
We wait a few minutes to give them time to process the news or ask questions, but hardly anyone in the crowd responds.
Dad explains the reason for our visit and this time, them are angry responses because their Alpha lied
draws a reaction from the crowd. Most of them and they aren’t pleased.
“I, King Vaughn, the Royal Alpha and King of the Plenian Kingdom, hereby strip you, Luke, Alpha of Doom Winter Pack, of your title. None of your offspring has a claim to the Alpha position, not even if Jason dies without an heir.” Dad’s voice boobs over the crowd.

Luke crashes to the ground, while Liz is whimpering at the loss of her Luna title. It is a natural consequence of stripping an Alpha of his title and I don’t feel sorry for her.
The crowd slowly steps back as the SUV approaches the Pack–house and Liz growls the moment. Joshilyn steps out. But Adam quickly steps in front of his Mother.
“Mom, don’t you dare. You and Dad have caused them enough trouble.” Adam says as he holds her face between both hands.
I hadn’t paid attention to the crowd because of Liz, But now I can hear the soft murmurs and when I turn around, I smile. Joshilyn is heavily pregnant and a small boy is holding her hand.
“Mommy, is that the King?” I hear him whisper and without another thought, he lets go of his Mother’s hand to walk up to Dad.
“Your Majesty, this is our Son, Benson.” Jason says as he steps behind his Son. “I thank you for everything that you did here today. This Pack has suffered enough under my Father and my Brother’s reign.”
Dad instates Jason as Doom Winter’s new Alpha and Joshilyn as their new Luna. Why waste time if you can handle things quickly? Besides, we all want to arrive at our next hotel before dinner and then proceed to Onyx Forest Pack in the morning.
Brogan doesn’t care much about dinner; all he cares about is being close to our Mate and forming the bond as quickly as possible. We both hate the distance between us in public, but we don’t want to put a target on her back either.
She will have more than enough to deal with at the Palace, but at least she has a shadow crew and her ears.
Captain Brandon will stay in Doom Winter territory for two weeks to help Jason in his new role as Alpha and then they will return to the Elders in Scarlet Moon territory.
Larissa moves closer to my side after we get into our SUV and I place my arm around her shoulder, placing my head on top of hers. I never thought I could be this happy without a fully formed bond, but having her near is all I need to be happy.
We move into the hotel like a well–oiled machine and if anyone notices Larissa by my side, I don’t hear anyone mentioning it.
Like the night before, Everett rushes into our suite to take a look at the rooms. Like the first night, only the room on the right has a bathtub. He gets the room to sleep in, but will run a bath for Larissa after dinner.
We have been practicing every night to speak to Larissa without using the mind–link and I have found out that I move my head a lot more than I thought.
She giggles every time one of us turns away while talking to her, but it happens to me more than Everett and that annoys the hell out of Brogan. He doesn’t like it that Everett is better at keeping a conversation going with our Mate, but I don’t care.

I love hearing her giggle and I sometimes move my head on purpose to listen to that giggling sound. Larissa knows I do it on purpose and she turned bright red when I explained why. My Mate never got compliments and finds it difficult to accept them.
However, I will compliment her as often as I can. She will receive the love and affection her family withheld from her; she will get it from me and my entire family.
Grandpa is going to love her, spoil her and treat her like his own. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when they finally meet.
