**A Solution (Book 2)**
**Book 2: The Forgotten Princess Revealed.**
**Dallas’ P.O.V.**
It has been nearly a full day since I returned to the Silver Eclipse Pack, and every moment has felt like an eternity spent confined to the Beta floor. The walls seem to close in around me, a constant reminder of the weight of the secrets I carry.
Daxton and Darius have been diligently fulfilling their responsibilities for Preston, but an unspoken tension lingers in the air. None of us have dared to share the truth about what transpired at the Palace or the implications of those events. Uncle Vaughn—I find it difficult to refer to him as King now—requested that we hold our tongues for a few days.
He has a plan brewing in his mind, a way to unveil the truth to everyone in the Kingdom, and he needs time to coordinate with some of the Elders. While he hasn’t divulged the specifics, I did give him a week to prepare the Kingdom for the upcoming meeting. I trust him, so I’m willing to wait.
“Princess, Preston wants us to meet him in his office,” Daxton announces, stepping into the living room with an air of urgency. Ever since our return, they’ve taken to calling me ‘Princess,’ and while it’s amusing in its own right—especially if you know the joke behind it—I can’t help but long for the days when they affectionately referred to me as ‘Little One.’
Together, we make our way down the staircase leading to the Alpha’s office, where everyone is already gathered, their expressions a mix of expectation and curiosity.
“Alright, here’s the reason I called you all here,” Preston begins, his tone serious as he surveys the room. “King Vaughn has sent out a decree to all Packs within the Kingdom. Every Alpha and Luna must report to the Palace in three days. On that same day, an Elder will arrive at each Pack to explain what’s unfolding.”
He pauses, glancing at me with an intensity that makes my heart race. “I received an additional message instructing me to bring Dallas, Daxton, and Darius along, but the reason for this was left undisclosed. Rayden, you’ll be in charge in my absence.”
“Sorry, but King Vaughn requested that we keep things under wraps,” I reply, my voice steady despite the unease bubbling within me. “I have no clue what’s going to happen that day, but I can assure you that he won’t be taking over your Pack.” My attempt at humor elicits a chuckle from Preston, but I can see the gears turning in his mind.
They’re perceptive, these Alphas, and I can’t shake the feeling that they’ve pieced together more than we realize. Preston is clearly hoping for a hint, a glimpse behind the curtain, but he’ll have to be patient, just like everyone else.
“Nosy Parker,” Pearl chimes in, a teasing smile on her face. “You’ll have to wait for the answers. Daxton made it clear after your return from the Palace that patience is key.”
We all know that Preston isn’t exactly renowned for his patience. When he seeks answers, he desires them immediately, refusing to wait for the collective understanding of the group. I can almost feel the frustration radiating off him, and I can’t help but think that Pearl is relishing every moment of it.
“Did you check your workload?” I ask my Mates through our mind-link, the urgency of our situation weighing heavily on my thoughts. “I’m concerned that we won’t be able to return to Silver Eclipse without a Beta in place, especially with Uncle Vaughn’s absence.”
We had deliberated this on our journey back, recognizing that leaving our Kingdom without a Beta is not an option. Yet, we also don’t want to leave Preston in a bind or Silver Eclipse without a proper Beta.
“We can resolve most of the pressing issues before we head back to the Palace,” Darius replies, his tone thoughtful. “However, there will be a few tasks that need to be handed off to whoever steps into the Beta role. Perhaps one of us should accompany Preston back to explain which responsibilities still require attention.”
Daxton immediately protests the idea, but I can’t help but feel that Darius raises a valid point. They’ve grown up in this Pack, their loyalty unwavering, and abandoning them isn’t something they can easily fathom.
I share Daxton’s reluctance, but I also understand Darius’s perspective.
“Enough with the bickering,” I interject, my voice firm as I sense the eyes of the room upon us. “Both of you have valid arguments, but we’ll discuss this matter privately.”
“Apologies for the private dispute,” I clarify, attempting to ease any tension. “We’ll take this conversation to our floor and refrain from using our mind-link in the meantime.” I despise when others eavesdrop on my thoughts, so I won’t subject anyone else to that discomfort.
After finalizing our plans for the trip to the Palace, which includes bringing my Squad along, I realize that this introduces another layer of complexity that I can’t currently explain to Preston.
“You’re hiding something, Princess,” Darius accuses the moment the door clicks shut behind us, his gaze piercing.
“Stop calling me Princess; it grates on my nerves. I’m not concealing anything, but I do recognize that this will only add to Preston’s burdens and those of the Silver Eclipse Pack,” I retort, a hint of irritation creeping into my voice.
I gesture toward the painting of one of my ancestors, King Malcolm, whose legacy is well-known throughout the Kingdom. Every child learns his tale, for it marked a monumental shift in our history.
King Malcolm was the first of his generation to shift into a Lycan, and he refused to ascend the Throne until he had both his Beta and Gamma by his side. This tradition remains intact to this day; no new leadership can emerge until all members are accounted for.
Rather than idly waiting for his family to shift, he immersed himself in the Elders’ council, seeking to remain active and valuable. Like me, he took on the role of Squad Captain, relishing his responsibilities until he was compelled to assume leadership from his Aunt.
The Law was altered specifically for King Malcolm, as he was unwilling to abandon his Squad. It stipulates that if any member of the new leadership is a Squad Captain, that Squad takes on the role of Guards for the Royal family.
In essence, my Squad will replace the current Guards, which means Silver Eclipse will lose a Squad residing within their territory.
“Damn, that’s a tough break,” Daxton mutters, realization dawning upon him. “Preston was looking forward to having the Squad train with our Pack members. He believed it would fortify our Pack and provide new strategies for combating our enemies.”
I may have a potential solution in mind, but I won’t disclose it until I’ve had a conversation with Uncle Vaughn. I’d prefer not to let anyone down if he disagrees with my thoughts.
Conclusion
As the weight of our impending journey to the Palace looms over us, I can’t help but feel a mix of anxiety and determination. The secrets we hold, the responsibilities we bear, and the bonds we share are all intertwined in this moment. I glance at my Mates, their unwavering support a beacon of strength amidst the uncertainty. The echoes of our past, the laughter and warmth of being called ‘Little One,’ seem like distant memories in the face of the challenges ahead. Yet, I know that we are not alone in this. The Silver Eclipse Pack is more than just a collection of individuals; it is a family bound by loyalty and love. As we prepare to face the Elders and unveil the truth, I feel a spark of hope igniting within me, a belief that together we can navigate the storm that lies ahead.
With each step toward the unknown, I realize that this journey is not just about revealing the truth; it is about reclaiming our identities and embracing our destinies. The legacy of King Malcolm serves as a reminder that leadership is not merely a title but a commitment to those we serve. I am ready to stand alongside my Squad, to protect my family, and to honor the traditions that shape our Kingdom. As we gather our thoughts and finalize our plans, I can sense the tides shifting in our favor. The bonds we forge and the truths we uncover will not only shape our futures but also redefine what it means to be a part of the Silver Eclipse Pack. Together, we will rise, united in purpose and unwavering in our resolve, ready to face whatever challenges await us at the Palace.
