**TITLE: Werewolf and 56**
**CONTENT: Their Removal**
**Dallas’ p.o.v.**
As we approach the grand Palace, a sense of foreboding settles over me. Elder Venetia stands poised at the entrance, her presence commanding yet oddly reassuring. She beckons us forward, guiding us toward the imposing Throne room, where the weight of history and power looms heavy in the air. The Royal family, along with the Elders, awaits our arrival, their expressions a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
Before we step through the door, Elder Venetia halts and turns to me, her gaze intense. “Jensen has successfully gathered everyone in the Throne room, including all members of the Royal family. Once I enter, you must wait precisely two minutes before following. By then, King Vaughn will have issued the necessary orders.” Her voice is steady, but I can sense the tension underlying her words.
I watch her retreating figure, her silhouette framed by the ornate door, and my mind races with the implications of what lies ahead. In just a few hours, the entire Royal family will be confronted with a truth so cold and ugly that it could shatter their carefully constructed facade.
My Squad fans out as we enter the Throne room, their movements precise and practiced. Each member takes their position, ensuring that every exit is sealed. The air is thick with anticipation, and I can feel Joshua’s eyes on me, waiting for the signal. When he gives me the all-clear, I step into the heart of the room. Daxton and Darius flank me, their hands gripping mine in a silent show of solidarity, a reminder that I am not alone in this.
“Which one of you is related to former Elder Ronald?” I inquire, my voice steady as I stride further into the chamber, my gaze sweeping over the assembled Elders.
To my left, an Elder rises, his demeanor calm yet wary. I extend my hand toward Jesper, who promptly hands me the meticulously prepared file on Dyala. I may not need it, but the sight of my target’s fear reflected in their eyes is a small victory I relish.
“If the information I have is accurate, your family was tasked with providing a protector to one of the King’s ancestors—specifically, the Gamma who took the throne after Princess Dyala’s disappearance. Is that correct?” I probe, my tone firm yet measured.
“Yes, that is entirely correct,” Elder Zane replies, his voice betraying no hint of uncertainty. I had anticipated his response; my research had already confirmed the details. What I sought now was his acknowledgment.
“Do all Elder families maintain their own records regarding the protectors they provide to the Royal family, Your Majesty?” I direct my question to King Vaughn, whose expression remains inscrutable.
“I cannot provide an answer; I have never inquired with a protector or an Elder about such matters,” King Vaughn admits, his tone revealing a hint of discomfort. I had suspected he would respond this way, a nagging intuition whispering that he would lack the knowledge I sought.
“Every Elder family retains copies of the records submitted to the King or Queen they serve. They also keep their handwritten notes. Elder Zane, have you ever studied those files from your family?” I ask, keenly aware of the implications of my inquiry.
I can sense his confusion; he likely has no idea why I am probing into this matter or how I am aware of the existence of those records. Such knowledge should be confined to the Elder families.
“Yes, I did. I was instructed to memorize them, and my Grandfather or Father would quiz me on them periodically,” Elder Zane responds, his tone revealing a hint of pride. “I am well-versed in both the official records and the accompanying notes.”
His expression shifts, and I can tell he understands the gravity of my next question.
“Did your Grandfather’s notes indicate that Princess Dyala had died when her Father finally located her?” I press, my heart racing at the potential revelation.
“Princess Dyala was very much alive when her Father found her. My Grandfather spread the rumor of her death to prevent her protectors from locating her. My Aunt shared a true Mate-bond with a member of the Royal family, and if Princess Dyala returned, they would be excluded from the next leadership,” Elder Zane explains, his voice laced with regret.
“My Grandfather witnessed Princess Dyala declare her intention not to return, that she wished to distance herself from her Brothers forever. He knows I disapprove of his actions, and if anyone were to inquire, I would reveal the truth.”
A palpable disturbance ripples through the room at Elder Zane’s confession. King Vaughn’s expression darkens, the implications of an Elder’s deceit towards a member of the Royal family weighing heavily upon him.
“I demand to see those notes, and not just from your family, Elder Zane,” King Vaughn asserts, his gaze sweeping over the other Elders present, a challenge hanging in the air.
“Your Majesty, there is another matter that requires your attention,” I interject, gesturing toward Pablo, who projects the image of the broken necklace onto the screen once more. “I would like everyone to observe it closely and reflect on what it evokes.”
I stride over to my Mates, allowing the others a moment to absorb the sight of the shattered pieces displayed before them. Jesper’s eyes are fixed on King Vaughn, while Joshua’s attention is drawn to Princess Dezra.
“Nothing from King Vaughn,” I hear Jesper’s thoughts echo through our mind-link. “Princess Dezra appears uncomfortable and is avoiding the screen.”
“Crown Prince Quinlan, would you be so kind as to share your insights?” I prompt, hoping for clarity from a member of the Royal family to guide the others.
Quinlan meticulously describes each piece of the necklace, his voice steady. As he focuses on the pear-shaped stone, King Vaughn’s head snaps in my direction, a flicker of realization crossing his features before he turns toward his Sister.
“Does anyone recall anything?” I ask, locking eyes with Crown Prince Quinlan. I surmise that King Vaughn must have shown it to him, recognizing his future role as king.
“That necklace belongs to Princess Dyala, but it should be secured in the vault,” Elder Zane interjects, and in that instant, Pablo initiates the surveillance footage.
My attention shifts to Princess Dezra, who appears to be struggling to voice her thoughts, stifled by the command her Brother has imposed upon her. The collective gaze of the room converges on her, and even Prince Darron’s discomfort is palpable, though I doubt he grasps the full scope of the situation.
King Vaughn rises from his seat, his eyes fixed intently on his Sister. With a subtle nod, I signal to three of my Squad members, who move to position themselves between the King and his Sister, a protective barrier.
“Your Majesty, there is more to this narrative, and I believe it is crucial for you to possess all the facts before making any hasty decisions,” I assert, my voice steady, yet urgent.
“Elder Zane, do you possess any knowledge regarding what transpired with Dyala after her Father returned home?” I redirect the focus from Princess Dezra, not out of a desire to shield her, but to ensure that the entire truth is unveiled.
“No, I have no knowledge of that,” Elder Zane replies, his tone betraying a hint of uncertainty. I had anticipated this; it was unlikely that his Grandfather would have shared the truth with anyone in the family.
I hand him the file on Princess Dyala from the Iron Moon Pack, urging him to read it aloud. As he begins on the first page, detailing the connection she forged within his Pack, I can hear the low growls of discontent ripple through the Elders. Their anger is palpable, and rightly so.
He struggles to articulate the words that paint a grim picture of her demise, a fate that her Brother may have inadvertently caused. The room is charged with fury, and even King Vaughn’s composure wavers, requiring our Queen’s calming presence to steady him.
“It is fortunate that both Princes were removed from the Royal bloodline back then; otherwise, I would have demanded their removal today,” Elder Zane concludes, his voice heavy with the weight of the revelations.
