**CONTENT: Marking Spots**
**Dallas’ Point of View**
A persistent tug at the edges of my consciousness lingers, elusive and frustrating, like a whisper just beyond my grasp. I can’t quite decipher its significance, but it’s there, gnawing at me. Deep down, I recognize that the bond we’re forming shouldn’t be progressing so rapidly. Yet, paradoxically, it feels entirely natural, as if it’s the way things are meant to be. I can’t help but yearn for the day when we can fully embrace this connection without hesitation or fear.
“Captain, we’ve wrapped up our review of the financial records. It’s pretty grim; we need to have a conversation with Alpha Preston.” One of my Squad members breaks through my reverie with a mind-link, pulling me sharply from my contemplations about our Mate-bond.
“Darius, is your office soundproof?” I inquire, noticing the flicker of mischief in his eyes, a shadow that makes my cheeks flush. “Not for that, Old Man,” I add, teasingly.
I playfully swat at his chest, though I find myself ensnared between my two Mates, unable to deliver a proper hit to Darius even if I wished to.
“There’s some troubling news regarding the Pack’s finances,” I say, attempting to wriggle free from their embrace, but neither of them seems inclined to release me. Instead, they bury their faces in the crook of my neck, and a soft moan escapes my lips as their warm breaths and gentle kisses graze my marking spots.
“Alright, I’ll link the others as we head down. I want to unravel this mystery, preferably yesterday,” Daxton states, reluctantly pulling away from me. The instant he does, I feel an ache of longing for his warmth.
Reaching out, I grasp his hand, tugging him back against me. I’m not ready to leave the Beta floor just yet; stepping out means losing the comfort of their touch until we can find privacy again, and I want to savor this blissful moment a bit longer.
“Message received,” Daxton chuckles, wrapping his arm around me once more. “I wish this Mate-bond was fully realized so we wouldn’t have to hide it any longer. It’s only been three days, yet it feels like an eternity.”
Half an hour later, we find ourselves in Darius’ office, poring over the evidence laid out before us, revealing a pattern of deceit that has persisted for decades.
“How in the world did they manage to pull this off? Where’s the money?” Preston’s voice is laced with incredulity as I glance up at Mara, silently seeking her insight.
“You mean how did she get away with it, Alpha Preston? She utilized computers that belonged to others, likely creating distractions to divert them from their posts. That’s probably why the amounts were so small; larger sums would have raised suspicions,” Mara explains, her tone steady and analytical.
“The funds are still held in an account at the same bank the Pack uses, but I’ve ensured that she can no longer access it. It’ll take time before she can get to it again; I doubt there’s a computer in the dungeons that she could use,” she adds. It’s a relief that this office is soundproof, but I’m certain the Pack-house trembled with the weight of our discoveries.
Mara elaborates on how they traced the account linked to the missing funds, only to find it registered under a business name with no personal identification. Hours of digging revealed the owner, and it became clear that this scheme had been in motion for years.
As the Mate of a Beta, Madeline would have understood the bookkeeping system and how to conceal the missing money effectively. She was clever enough to avoid her previous access codes, knowing they would lead straight to her.
“Damn, your mother is quite the piece of work. She’s stealing from the Pack, attempting to force one son into a chosen Mate-bond while denying that same son his rightful inheritance. What else will we uncover?” I muse aloud, though my words are directed more toward the universe than anyone in particular. Deep down, I suspect I already know the answer.
My hope swells that Joshua will return once our Mate-bond is solidified, for I sense that Daxton holds many secrets within his mind, and we’ll need those answers when Sage arrives.

We spent the remainder of the day in Darius’ office, meticulously combing through everything we’d unearthed. We only ventured out for brief breaks for lunch and dinner. As I trudged up to the Beta floor, exhaustion weighed heavily on me, but at least we had navigated through the mountain of evidence.
If Darius had harbored any hope that one day his mother and brother might reconcile, that hope was thoroughly shattered today. The animosity they feel toward her is palpable, and I can only imagine it will deepen in the days to come.
I wish I could do more than just unveil the truth; I long to alleviate the pain they’re experiencing. If I could change the past, would I? A part of me thinks it would be futile, as it wouldn’t truly erase the hurt.
That night, we all curled up in the same bed. Daxton and Darius were reluctant to leave my side, and after the tumultuous day we’d endured, I felt the same way.
Slowly, I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar sensation coursing through my body. My heart raced as I realized what I was feeling, and I glanced over to see Daxton and Darius still peacefully asleep. I gently traced a finger along Darius’ arm, and a jolt of electricity surged through my fingertip, igniting a spark.
Charna, our loyal companion, wagged her tail, intrigued by the movement of my finger. I mirrored the action on Daxton’s arm, feeling that same exhilarating response.
“What the hell?” Daxton mumbled, stirring from his slumber as I placed my palm flat against his arm.
“Dallas, is this real?” he asked, his voice thick with sleep and disbelief.
Turning to face him, I cupped his cheeks in my hands, and a radiant smile broke across his face. He mirrored my gesture, and as I felt the sparks dance across my skin, I couldn’t help but smile back.
He leaned in closer, our lips brushing together, igniting a flurry of sparks that made me gasp in surprise. It was the perfect moment for Daxton to deepen our kiss, and everywhere our bodies connected, the sparks flared to life.
Darius shifted closer to my back, and I nestled my head into Daxton’s neck as he jolted at the sensation of the sparks. It didn’t take him long to grasp the meaning behind them, and I felt his hand glide over my back, sending shivers down my spine.
“This is incredible, but it feels a bit too fast according to the history of Mate-bonds,” Darius remarked, his voice a mix of awe and caution. “But I’m not complaining. I can’t wait to make you ours, Little One.”
A soft moan escaped my lips as they both pressed kisses to my marking spots, and in that moment, I knew I craved the completion of this bond just as fervently as they did.
