**TITLE: Werewolf and 50**
**Settle Down**
As I sit there, I can’t help but lean in closer to the conversation unfolding before me.
“Well, I can tell you who took the necklace from the vault, and let me tell you, she did an impressive job of concealing it,” Elder Venetia declares, her voice steady yet laced with urgency. Just as I’m about to respond, a notification chimes on my phone, drawing my attention momentarily.
I decide to share the footage with everyone present, a visual testament to the unfolding mystery. The screen flickers to life, revealing a woman entering the vault, her demeanor calm as she signs a document before receiving a rectangular velvet box. Days later, the timestamp shows her returning, signing yet another piece of paper.
“Jensen, I have told you this from the moment I met Dallas. There’s something eerily familiar about her, and now I believe I understand what it is. Watch the last few seconds of the footage again; you’ll see what I saw,” Elder Venetia insists, her eyes narrowing in focus.
We replay the final ten seconds, and as the woman tilts her head to sign, a chill runs down my spine.
“Shit, that looks just like you, Captain,” Joshua mutters under his breath, his expression a mix of disbelief and realization. I can’t deny it any longer. I had tried to brush it off the first time I viewed it, unwilling to confront the implications. But with Joshua’s words echoing in my mind, the truth becomes undeniable: my mother is alive.
“Venetia, I hate to bring this up, but…” Elder Jensen begins, but his words are swiftly cut off by Elder Venetia.
“I’ll retrieve her file and meet you at Silver Eclipse territory. We will uncover the truth and gather all the necessary answers before presenting our findings to King Vaughn,” she declares firmly before disconnecting the call, leaving a heavy silence in her wake.
A sudden knock on the door jolts me from my thoughts, and I’m momentarily taken aback when Daniella steps inside.
“I apologize for the interruption, but I need to speak with Joshua,” she states, her tone almost hesitant. Joshua glances at me, a flicker of reluctance in his eyes, clearly uncomfortable with the idea of being alone with her.
“Whatever you have to say to Joshua can be addressed right here,” I assert, rising from the couch, my posture firm.
Daniella shifts uncomfortably, her anxiety palpable. I cast a glance at Preston, silently urging him to read the situation and intervene.
“Answer the damn question, Daniella. What do you want to say to Joshua?” Preston commands, his voice carrying the weight of his Alpha authority.
“I wanted to tell him that I felt a connection, but I don’t anymore. That was Madeline’s last piece of advice to me,” Daniella stammers, her words tumbling out under the pressure of Preston’s order.
“Elder Jensen, find her another Pack to live with, or I might just lose my patience,” Preston growls, his protective instincts flaring as two Warriors step into the room. “Place her under house arrest; she’s not to leave her home unless I say so, and she must always have three Warriors with her.”
As the tension begins to settle, Judy walks in, her voice cheerful as she announces that dinner is almost ready.
**Her Wrath**
**Darius’ p.o.v.**
The night had been restless for all of us. Initially, sleep eluded us as we grappled with the heavy information shared by Elder Jensen. But once we finally succumbed to slumber, Dallas awoke with startling news: Charna had felt an inexplicable pull toward the Royal family during the trial.
Charna had kept this revelation to herself, unable to comprehend the source or reason behind it. Now, with fresh insights, it confirmed our suspicions: Princess Dezra is indeed Dallas’ mother.
“If she is your mother, how do you plan to break this news to King Vaughn?” Daxton queries as we navigate our morning routines, the weight of uncertainty hanging in the air.
Dallas remains silent, lost in thought, but her furrowed brow speaks volumes. I find myself questioning whether I could even begin to articulate this revelation to King Vaughn; it feels like a burden too heavy for me to bear.
“I’m going to ask Elder Jensen to arrange a meeting with the Elders and every member of the Royal family. The challenge will be ensuring that no one interrupts me, especially not Princess Dezra,” Dallas finally articulates, determination evident in her voice.
As we enter the dining room on the Alpha floor, our conversation halts the surrounding chatter, all eyes drawn to us.
“I can request King Vaughn to issue an order that no one speaks unless asked a direct question,” Elder Jensen offers, his voice calm yet authoritative. “The only one exempt from this order will be King Vaughn himself.”
Elder Jensen raises a valid point. A general command from the King or an Alpha holds weight; an Alpha cannot command another Alpha, nor can they dictate to a High-ranking Shifter from outside their Pack.
While Alphas can give orders to Low-ranking Shifters from other Packs, the impact is less potent. Those Shifters can easily inform their own Alpha about the situation, who can then nullify the order, potentially exposing what was meant to remain hidden.
After breakfast, we descend the stairs to the training grounds, eager to assess the progress of our Pack members.
However, we quickly realize that our oversight was unnecessary. Jesper and Joshua are already leading the morning training session, with Pablo diligently taking notes and occasionally reviewing them with the trainers.
“Alpha Preston, we have a few minor adjustments to the training schedule. May we borrow Gamma Rayden for a few minutes?” Jesper inquires, his tone respectful yet urgent.
Rayden doesn’t wait for Preston’s approval; he strides away with Jesper to discuss their observations, leaving us behind.
Dallas has drifted off to assist a group of Omegas. While they aren’t required to train, the majority are eager to learn self-defense skills.
Daxton and I move closer to the group, eager to hear our Mate’s guidance. She adjusts some Omegas’ stances while others merely need a word of encouragement to strike effectively at their opponents.
Typically, one of us would oversee their training, but I’m pleasantly surprised to see that each Omega has paired up with a Squad member for sparring.
“Alright, we need to head back to the Pack-house. Elder Venetia has just arrived at the gate,” Preston announces, his tone brisk yet filled with curiosity.
I can’t help but wonder about the contents of the papers Elder Venetia is bringing. I’ve never laid eyes on a file belonging to a Royal family member; I’m intrigued to see how they compare to our own.
Elder Venetia walks through the front door just as we enter the hallway from the living room.
Preston gestures for us to follow him into his office, and we comply.
“I suggest we start with the file on Princess Dezra. We need to understand why no one in the Royal family ever questioned her narrative; I was under the impression that Prince Darron was her true Mate-bond,” Elder Venetia states as she takes a seat.
As she places Princess Dezra’s file on the table, it’s immediately apparent that it vastly differs from the files we maintain on Pack members.
“Every detail of their lives is meticulously documented. This is partly a precautionary measure, stemming from the incident with Dyala; the other reason is to prevent any false claims of Royal lineage,” Elder Jensen explains, his voice steady.
“I must caution you, Dallas. Dezra has a reputation for being manipulative; she’s a skilled Beta to her brother. We need to establish that she was indeed at Shadow Valley Pack, that she bore a child there, and that Walker was her true Mate-bond,” Elder Jensen warns.
Dallas meets Elder Jensen’s gaze with a smile. “You say my mother is cunning. I thought you had observed my methods over the past year, Elder Jensen. Surely, you know how I operate.”
“Alpha Preston, could you retrieve the file from the safe?” Dallas requests. I strain to recall if I saw her hand it over to Preston. “Everything I need to prove that Dezra was at Shadow Valley Pack, that she is my mother, and much more is contained within.”
Dallas is adamant about keeping the contents of her file hidden from us, even refusing to glance at the file Elder Venetia has brought.
“I want to prepare for this trial as meticulously as I did for Alpha Leon’s. I’ll place both files side by side in private with Joshua’s assistance; I require a second person present to ensure transparency. I don’t want anyone accusing me of fabricating documents.”
“Alpha Preston, could you ensure both files are returned to the safe? I’ll need you and both Elders present when we retrieve them. I hope you don’t mind if I commandeer your office tomorrow; the less those files are moved around, the better it will be for the trial,” Dallas explains, her voice resolute.
In mere moments, Preston secures both files in the safe. I find myself eager to inquire about Dallas’ unique approach; her methods seem refreshingly unconventional.
“How did you uncover the necklace’s origin?” Elder Venetia asks, her surprise evident as she learns that it was Preston’s ancestor who unveiled the troubling truth behind the necklace.
We also discover that the Elders were never informed about Dyala’s fate; they only knew she had left the Palace and had no desire to be involved in the Kingdom’s governance. Someone even misled the Elders into believing that Dyala had requested her brother for the necklace, claiming she didn’t want the burden of responsibility.
“I’m heading back now. I’m determined to uncover the truth, and if I discover who has been suppressing it, we will confront them in the meeting with King Vaughn,” Elder Venetia declares, her voice resolute.
I find myself hoping I won’t be on the receiving end of her wrath—or my Mate’s.
