Creeped Out
Quinlan’s p.o.v.

Alpha Jax’s Luna stares daggers at Lilian and we all know the reason why. Even though she doesn’t have to worry about Lilian going after Jax, she wouldn’t after he rejected her.
“Then you must be the current Beta. How does it feel to fill your Father’s shoes?” Dallas asks Jackson as if she doesn’t already
know the truth.
“Your Highness, I wish I could answer that question. To tell you the truth, I wasn’t allowed to take over from my Father, that position was handed to Luna Claudia’s Brother.” He answers.
Apparently, Jax isn’t a complete fool. It took a lot for him to keep his mouth shut and one of his hands is covering the mouth of his Luna. She would have disrespected Dallas if he hadn’t stopped her when he did.
Dallas slowly turns toward Alpha Jax and I can see Charna near the surface, ready to tear into him if he makes one wrong remark.
“Care to explain why you broke our main laws, Alpha Jax?” Dallas asks and the look she gives him is enough to send fear into
any enemy.
“I wanted my Brother in law to be accepted by the Pack and the fastest way was to put him in a High–ranking position. I never had a close bond with Jackson and I don’t believe he would have had the Pack’s best interest at heart.” Alpha Jax answers.
No one responds to the lie he just uttered and Dallas keeps staring at him for a few more seconds.
“Alpha Jax, I am going to give you one more chance to answer with the truth. If you lie to me again, this Pack will be without an Alpha. Is that clear?” Dallas replies.
“Your Highness, why don’t we take this inside?” Luna Claudia asks. “This doesn’t concern our Pack–members and they need to get back to their jobs.”
I have no idea why she thought it was a good idea to talk back to Dallas, but she will regret it in a few moments. I know my Cousin doesn’t like to be questioned and especially not about something she feels this strongly about.
“Luna Claudia, this concerns your Pack–members more than they probably realize and I want them to hear every question and every response to them. If you interrupt me one more time, you will be thrown into the dungeons.” Dallas growls in her
direction.
“Alpha Jax, I believe our Royal Beta asked you a question and I suggest you answer her. Dark Iron Pack is already on my shitlist for when I take over from my Father, don’t give me a reason to place an Elder and a Squad inside your borders.” I tell him.
I hope he understands that I will do precisely that when he tells the truth or, if he chooses to lie again, we will strip him of his
title.
He is very uncomfortable with answering Dallas‘ question and as I look around, I wonder where the rest of the Alpha family is.
“Your Majesty, one of the Pack–members just informed me that Alpha Jax sent his family to another Pack, about a week after he took over. If that timeline is correct, then the former Alpha is unaware of what his Son did.” We hear Joshua say through our
mind–link.
“Captain Joshua, confide the entire leadership to the Alpha floor. I want Guardians patrolling around the Pack–house and anyone who tries to escape gets a one–way ticket to the dungeons I order and Joshua is more than happy to oblige.
Everyone tries to object, but one roar from Dallas has them fall in line and quietly follow Joshua to the Alpha floor.
“Darrion, do you have any idea to which Pack he sent his family?” Dad asks the former Beta. He is the only one present who might know the answer and if he doesn’t, I doubt that Dad will ask ax.
“My guess would be the Alpha’s birth Pack. Our former Luna was the only child of the Alpha and they took over the position about five years after meeting each other.” Darrion answers.

He also knows the name of that Pack and half an hour later, we get the news that the former Alpha and his family are on their
way.
An Omega offers to make us some dinner while we wait for the former Alpha to arrive and most of us settle down in the living room. I lean back in my seat with my eyes closed and try to calm down Brogan, who would love to get a piece of Alpha Jax.
Dinner is simple yet delicious, and we all enjoyed the food that was prepared for us on short notice. The Omegas look surprised when we return our dirty dishes to the kitchen ourselves and Mom puts them in shock by ordering us to clean them by hand.
We return to the living room to have some coffee and wait for our rooms to be done.
“We have prepared the rooms on the guest floor for you and your companies, Your Majesty.” Another Omega says from the doorway. She looks like she is nearing the end of her life, but something tells me that she isn’t that old.
“Thank you.” Dad says before he turns toward Darrion. “What time will they arrive?”
“Somewhere in the middle of the night. I will wait for them and guide them to the guest floor. I think it is best if Jax doesn’t get a chance to talk to his Father.” Darrion answers.
Without them knowing that the former Alpha is on his way, the chances are slim that Jax will try to mind–link with his Father.
We turn in for the night, just before midnight and I fall asleep rather quickly. I wake up well rested and make my way to the bathroom that I share with Everett. I open the door to his room while I am brushing my teeth and find that he is already dressed.
I finish getting ready while Everett follows me into my room and not a moment too soon if you ask me.
We have barely set foot back in my room when the door opens to reveal a woman in a red negligee that leaves nothing to the imagination.
“Dallas, my room.” I call out through the mind–link and I know she won’t be the only one to respond, but as the Royal Beta, she can do more damage.
“Are you lost?” Everett asks with a smirk as he looks her up and down. It would creep me out if he ever gave me that look.
