Quinlan’s po.v.
I am glad the issue with Dark Iron Pack is resolved, but I hate that took so long for anyone to take action.

Mom booked us a hotel so that she could meet up with us. She didnt frust anyone to instruct our new Servants, but she found an unexpected friend among the remaining Elders. Elder Mathias proved to Mom that he could handle her and her distrust of the Elders.
He is one of the Elders who also has the trust of Elder Jensen and is Father and that is why Mom gave him the chance to prove himself during our absence.
“Where are we heading in the morning?” Mom asks once we have settled down in the living room of the most extensive suite.
“Grey Ridge Pack. The former Alpha is old enough to know he couldn’t sentence a Pack–member to life imprisonment and I wonder if they overturned the sentence after the broadcast.” Dad answers.
I don’t have to go through the file again to remember what is in it. It is ingrained in my memory and I doubt it will ever vanish. Was the Alpha stupid enough to disregard the evidence, or is something else at play?
After a good night’s sleep and some breakfast, we pile back into the SUVS again. It will take about two hours to get to Grey Ridge Pack and I hope we can resolve this issue before dinner time.
Four Wolves step onto the road when we reach the gate of Grey Ridge Pack and a Warrior in Human form approaches the SUV with Elder Jensen.
“The King is here to see your Alpha. Tell him to bring his Father, his Gamma, and both the future Alpha and Gamma to his office.” Elder Jensen orders and the Warrior is smart enough to follow them.
One of the Wolves leads our convoy to the Pack–house and I can see that the Alpha and Luna are waiting on the front porch. Let’s see if Alpha Derek realized who Elder Jensen meant with the future Gamma.
“Your Majesty, welcome to Grey Ridge Pack. This is Mary, my Mate and Luna of this Pack.” Alpha Derek says and both of them bow in respect. “Everyone that you requested is present in my office. My Luna and our future Luna were hoping to join us.”
“Alpha Derek, both of them can join us for this meeting. It might be beneficial for all of us.” Dallas says, while she walks past him into the Pack–house. I manage to follow her inside before her Mates do and I stand next to her as we look at the people present in the Alpha office.
Once everyone is inside the office, I turn toward Alpha Derek.
“Where is the future Gamma?” I ask him and I am glad I am focused on him; otherwise, I would have missed the slight change in his demeanor.
“Ah, it seems you understand why we are here. You have two minutes to get the future Gamma here or I will go looking for him.” Dallas growls and you bet your ass that she will.
“Your Highness, we might need a little more time to get him here. Why don’t we discuss the reason for your visit while we wait for him?” Luna Mary asks. “Our Omegas will have some coffee ready in a few minutes and then we can start this meeting.”
Dallas looks at her watch as she listens to Luna Mary, but she doesn’t agree or disagree with her. I hope that Alpha Derek calls Dallas‘ bluff, because I want to see her tear this Pack apart in search of Richard.
“We decide when this meeting starts, Luna Mary. None of you has a say in whatever is going to happen today and the sooner you accept it, the better.” Dallas retorts and I have to swallow a chuckle at Luna Mary’s facial expression.
“Time’s up.” Dallas states as she turns toward the door and Alpha Derek makes the mistake of trying to stop her.
“Touch her and you are a dead Wolf.” Her Mates say in unison and if the situation weren’t so damn serious, I would have burst out laughing.

I follow Dallas out of the office and the first person we come across gets asked for directions. She points us to the dungeons without hesitation and it surprises me that no one tries to stop us. Not even the two Warriors guarding the dungeons try to stop us; in fact, they give us all the space we need.
“You are going to need this key, Your Highness.” One of them say as he holds out a key to me and points us toward the cell, it unlocks. The other Warrior grabs a bag from the floor, which he hands to Dallas. After a quick look inside, we walk to the cell.
The smells down here shouldn’t surprise ine, but if they did, I would have become numb to the inhuman circumstances. Something I don’t want, because then it would make it easier to send someone to the dungeons.
“How often does he get fed?” Dallas asks from Inside the cell and he moment I lay eyes on Richard, I understand her question. He looks emaciated and I doubt he has had access to clean water to wash himself with.
“Officially, once a day per former Alpha James‘ orders. Unofficially three meals a day.” Is the answer we get and I allow Dallas to step out of the cell to get a more detailed explanation.
“Darius, get an Omega to give you some water and soap. I need it for Richard; he is in bad shape.” I say through the mind–link and I know that everyone has heard me. While I wait for Darius and Daxton to show up, I open the bag to pull out the clothes and place them at the foot of the cot.
Heavy footsteps warn me that the twins are approaching and a moment later, Darius walks in with some lukewarm water and a bar of soap. A towel is tossed over his shoulder as he bends at the knee to assist Richard with cleaning himself up the best he can.
“Thank you. I only hope it won’t cause you any trouble with Alpha Derek.” Richard mumbles as he rinses the cloth again.
“Do you think that former Alpha James or Alpha Derek could cause trouble for the Crown Prince?” Darius asks while he gives Richard a hand.
Richard looks up at me and I slightly nod my head. Either it doesn’t register completely or he doesn’t understand that we are about to change his life for the better.
