Dallas‘ p.o.v.
We locked ourselves in our private wing for the rest of the day. Letting Larissa and Caitlin get used to their new surroundings and to get to know our family.
Grandpa likes Larissa a lot and kept using his mind–link to talk to her. He did it every time Quinlan was softly talking to his Mate and it was always something that made her giggle. At first, Quinlan thought she was making fun of him.
It wasn’t until I kept moving my eyes toward Grandpa that he got clued in, but it didn’t stop Grandpa from doing it.
I believe we were all asleep before midnight. We all wanted to get a good night’s rest before our busy schedule and Aunt Eliza made sure we all knew that breakfast would be in the main dining room.
“Good morning, Little One. Unless you want Aunt Eliza to come in here, I suggest that you get moving.” Darius says next to my head. I open my eyes to see my Mate fully dressed and I hear the shower in the
background.
The thought of Aunt Eliza walking here doesn’t scare me; the fact that she might force me to go downstairs in my PJs does.
“Fine, I am getting out of bed. How much longer will Daxton be?” I ask and a second later, the water gets
turned off. “I’ll be done in a few minutes.”
I walk into the walk–in closet to grab some clothes and I giggle when I realize that I no longer have to
wear a uniform. However, I feel that as the Royal Beta, I need to have some formal attire to wear to
meetings, visits and whatnot.
It takes me a few minutes to find the two–piece suit I bought after leaving Shadow Valley Pack. I wanted
something new and unconventional for myself.
“Who is in trouble, Little One?” Daxton asks when he sees me walking to the bathroom with the suit over
my arm.
“I will be, if I don’t hurry up. Aunt Eliza is already bugging me.” I respond before closing the door.
My morning routine takes only minutes and both my Mates whistle when I emerge from the bathroom in my burgundy–colored suit. It is a slim–fit blazer with one button and fake pockets. The pants are wide- legged with a high waist and I am wearing an off–white, slim–fit shirt underneath.
I put on my high–heeled boots before we head to the living room and again, my appearance elicits whistles from those present in the room.

huge red flowers. Her black hair is in a French braid over her left shoulder.
Quinlan walks next to her with a shit eating grin on his face and his hand on her lower back as he guides her toward our table. Everyone stares after them as they pass the tables with Elders, Servants and whoever else is staying at the Palace.
Most are smart enough to keep their thoughts to themselves, but there are those who don’t care who hears them. However, none of them are as rude as Irvine and we all know why he isn’t a fan of Larissa.
“Why would our future King choose to accept a deaf Omega as his Mate? Do they truly believe that she is capable enough to rule this Kingdom with Quinlan?” I hear Irvine whisper to Elder Venetia.
“Too bad that Venetia knows how to control her emotions or we would have needed to call the undertaker out here.” I hear Aunt Eliza say through the mind–link.
Uncle Vaughn stands behind his chair while he waits for everyone to turn their attention to him and it takes about five minutes before some start to make others aware of their King waiting for them to quiet down.
“Good morning. As you all know, I do not tolerate any disrespect toward my family and that now includes Larissa.” Uncle Vaughn says as Quinlan steps beside him with Larissa.
“I thought I could be lenient with someone who has disrespected your Queen on a few occasions, but Tammy proved me wrong. She will get her chance to change my mind during a trial, but I fear it will end with a death sentence.
We will no longer show mercy to any Shifter who won’t respect the Royal family. After breakfast, there will be a trial in the Throne room. Anyone who wants to attend is more than welcome.” Uncle Vaughn says before he sits down for breakfast.
I know that some of the Elders will not be pleased with this invitation and I can’t wait to see the look on their faces when they enter the Throne room.
“What will happen today, Dallas?” I hear Larissa ask and I explain to her what the trials are about. It will take us hours to get through all of them and we might need to take a break for the night.
An invitation was sent to every Alpha with the request to bring ten of their Pack–members. Each rank
had to be presented by at least one Pack–member, except for the Beta or Gamma.
Even though I suggested that the Gamma and Beta ranks could be represented, if the Gamma and Beta
females came with the Alpha, then they would be represented.
We will incorporate this change into our laws for the future, as we need to gather the opinions of every rank in our Kingdom. Having a high rank doesn’t always mean that you have the best opinion in the
world.
“What will happen if an Alpha refuses to bring an Omega along?” Larissa asks and I like that she wants to

have all the information on a topic.
“We haven’t discussed that yet. We want to know if they would go against a request from the Royal family. Maybe keep all their opinions out of it or only leave the opinion of the Alpha out of it.” I answer
her.
I sip my coffee as I look around the dining room and Irvine is staring daggers at Larissa. He will not like the events of today, but I don’t care.
“I would ignore the Alpha’s opinion and make it known why we ignore it. It might persuade a few Alphas to start bringing an Omega along.” Larissa responds after a few minutes.
Giving an Omega a voice as important as that of an Alpha might show every Shifter that the Royal family values each Shifter in the Kingdom.
