Our SUV is the lead vehicle and I want to know if Alpha Chris has instructed his Pack to follow the law, not to hinder the Royals when they arrive at the border unannounced.
“Can anyone see other Warriors?” I ask because it looks like the Warrior at the gate is on his own.
After getting multiple negative responses, I roll down my window as we approach the gate. He looks from the markings on our SUV to me and back again, a confused look on his face.
“I assume you were present when the Elder informed your Pack of the changes the Royals are making?” I ask him and now he has a look of dumbfoundedness on his face.
“Which Elder? When?” He asks and I see Benton going through my tablet.
“Damn. Elder Dawn was supposed to visit this Pack. I guess we could have known she would neglect her duties.” Benton mumbles and I hear a few others growl.
I quickly recap what happened and what was supposed to be shared with the Pack. He gives me a small smile as he walks to the gate to open it and if Alpha Chris gives him hell for this, I will allow Chama to kick his ass.
Many Pack–members give us funny looks as we pass them and then they start following us, almost as if someone has made them aware of something.
However, when we reach the Pack–house there is no one waiting for us and my best guess is that the Warrior didn’t warn his Alpha of our arrival. I like the way he thinks and isn’t afraid to cause trouble for his Alpha.
“What the hell is going on here?” A woman asks from the front door and her eyes widen when she sees the markings on our SUVs. “I apologize for my manners. Our Alpha didn’t tell me we were expecting guests, Your Majesty.”
“No need to apologize. I was already informed that Onyx Forest didn’t get the information they were supposed to receive and your Alpha will answer for part of that.” I tell her.
I ask her to prepare rooms for us, because I doubt this will be handled within a day. She quickly walks back inside and a moment later, a young woman appears.
“Your Majesty, I will show you to the Alpha’s office. He is in a meeting with his Beta, Gamma and an Elder.” She says as she gestures for us to follow her.
“Talk to the Pack–members. I want to know why they weren’t informed or if any of them had suspicions about it.” I say through the mind–link and the majority of our Guardians walk off in different directions.

Uncle Vaughn walks into the office without knocking and to my surprise, we find former Elder Jeff in the
office with the Alpha and his leadership.
“Care to explain what you are doing here, Jeff?” Uncle Vaughn growls and I see the Beta and Gamma looking rather surprised at Uncle Vaughn.
“Your Majesty, Elder Jeff is here to find a few more Servants for your wing. Why are you surprised to see him here when you sent him?” A man, I assume, is the Beta, asks.
A soft knock keeps Uncle Vaughn from reacting and the young woman who showed us to the office walks in.
“Your Majesty, your rooms are ready if you need them. Do we need to prepare a room for anyone else?” She asks. It seems as if she understands more than she is supposed to and I like how she asked a question without disrespecting anyone.
“No, that won’t be necessary. Jeff is leaving the territory with a few of our Guardians, so he doesn’t need a
room.” Uncle Vaughn responds and Joshua gestures to Jeff to follow him out the door.
“Make sure they throw his sorry ass in the dungeons. I will deal with him and Elder Dawn at the same time as the others on Dallas‘ list.” Uncle Vaughn says through the mind–link.
Joshua stops next to the door to let another woman in, who is carrying a tray filled with refreshments and another follows her with a tray of snacks. Alpha Chris looks annoyed at Aunt Eliza when she thanks the women for their thoughtfulness.
“Alpha Chris, do you have any idea why we might be paying you a visit?” I ask him as I sit down.
“To take my best Omegas away to serve the Royals.” He mumbles, probably thinking that Jeff had been telling the truth.
I wonder where his Luna is or why the Mates of the Beta and Gamma are absent. They usually attend
meetings that concern the Pack and its members. There aren’t any pictures of a woman in the office and
I start to believe that he never took a chosen Mate.
“No, we will not take your Omegas away. Our visit is more of a personal issue for you, but it has severe
consequences for your Pack. Where are your Mates and children?” Uncle Vaughn replies.
The three of them look at one another, and after a deep sigh from the Alpha, it is clear that he is mind- linking with someone. It takes a few minutes before there is a knock on the door, but it doesn’t open and I am surprised to see the Gamma getting up to open the door.
We are introduced to Houston, the Alpha’s seven year old Son. A heavily pregnant woman walked in behind him and we find out that she is the Gamma’s Mate, but I doubt there is a true Mate–bond between
them.
This Pack’s Beta hasn’t found his connection yet and the Alpha keeps quiet about his Luna when asked

about her.
“Houston, who looks after you when your Mom and Dad are busy?” Aunt Eliza asks and without hesitation, he answers her.
“Mommy died to give me to Daddy. I have two Omegas to look after me, whether Daddy is on the Alpha floor or not.” Is his honest answer. Alpha Chris isn’t too pleased with his response, but he does his best to hide his annoyance with his Son.
I know that none of us wants him in this office, especially when the truth gets revealed. I also know how I can get him out of here, but in a way that protects him.
“Houston, Everett is my baby Brother and he hates meetings like this. Can you show him around the territory?” I ask him and his Father would be a fool to stop them.
Both of them leave while talking about school and I gesture to the Gamma’s Mate to take a seat.
