**Title: Werewolf and 6 – Goddess’ Gift**
**Dallas’ p.o.v.**
Well, this is certainly not how I envisioned my day unfolding. Honestly, I doubt anyone in our Squad anticipated this twist, and I find myself grappling with a mixture of disbelief and confusion.
During the ceremony meant to mark my official induction as a full-fledged member of the Squad, Captain Jordan dropped a bombshell—his retirement. But that was merely the beginning of the unexpected turn of events that followed his announcement.
To my astonishment, Elder Jensen appointed me as the new Squad Captain right then and there. The moment the words left his mouth, the room erupted in cheers, but I stood there, speechless, as if the ground had shifted beneath my feet. Just over six months in this position, and now I’m expected to lead my own Squad?
I’m aware that a few others have ascended to the role of Squad Captain shortly after their arrival, but I can’t help but question whether this is truly what I want or even need at this point in my life.
It’s undeniably an honor that they have faith in my ability to handle such a responsibility. Yet, lurking beneath that honor is a daunting reality: I might have to make a visit to the Shadow Valley Pack, and honestly, I’m not sure I’m ready for that kind of confrontation.
“Captain, Elder Jensen is requesting your presence. He’s waiting in your office,” Joshua, my ever-reliable second-in-command, informs me. I can’t help but wonder why Elder Jensen didn’t just link me directly. “You’ve got your block up, Captain,” he adds, a knowing look in his eyes.
I flash a smile at Joshua as I step out of my room. Not only have I taken over as Captain, but I’ve also inherited Jordan’s old office, which means I’ve moved to the other side of the top floor. As we make our way to my office on the ground floor, members of the Squad we pass bow their heads slightly—a customary gesture of respect for my new position.
“I really wish they wouldn’t do that. It makes me feel uneasy,” I confess to Joshua, glancing at yet another woman who bows her head as we walk by. “I’m still the same person I was before. It’s strange that those who once overlooked me now show such reverence.”
“Oh, it’s only going to get worse. Soon, they’ll start initiating conversations with you,” he teases, and I can’t help but chuckle at Charna’s laughter echoing in the background.
I let out a low growl in mock annoyance at Joshua, who wisely takes a step back. He’s one of the few in our Squad who is aware of the hurtful remarks made by members of other Squads—each one implying that I was nothing more than Jordan’s lover.
It wasn’t until someone suggested I go out and find my own true Mate-bond that I lost my composure, leading to a confrontation with Charna. That idiot is still nursing his injuries in the infirmary, and once he’s fully healed, he’ll be sent home.
Since then, no one has dared to utter similar words to me, but I’ve received enough icy glares to know that my reputation has shifted. I prefer it this way; my Squad members recognize that I’ve earned my place through hard work, and none of them question my capability to lead.
As I take a seat behind my new desk, I address Elder Jensen, “I apologize for having my block up. I was just wrapping up my last exam and didn’t want to be distracted.”
“Not a problem, Dallas. I was aware you were studying. I wanted to speak with you personally and privately, as I know this might be a challenging situation for you—or perhaps not,” Elder Jensen replies, his words cryptic and layered.
Joshua and I exchange glances, both of us puzzled. Elder Jensen’s riddles are wearing on my patience today.
He extends an envelope toward me, and after a brief moment of hesitation, I accept it from his outstretched hand. The familiar Pack emblem catches my eye, and my initial instinct is to toss it back at him, but curiosity tugs at me, urging me to take a look.
“We are proud to announce the Alpha Ceremony for our son, Nico, and the Luna Ceremony for his Mate, Lucy,” I read aloud, my heart sinking as I close the card and return it to the envelope, handing it back to Elder Jensen without a second thought.
“We both know that Nico and Lucy lack a true Mate-bond, which presents a dilemma for the Elders. However, we also wish to send a clear message to every other Pack in the Kingdom. Therefore, we will wait until the Ceremony, and you will have the honor of informing them that the Alpha Ceremony has been canceled,” Elder Jensen explains, his tone grave.
Joshua’s expression shifts as he begins to comprehend why I’ve been entrusted with the responsibility of disrupting an Alpha Ceremony.
“How much time do we have?” I inquire, needing to mentally prepare for the task ahead.
“You have over six months to prepare. You are aware of the regulations concerning the cancellation of an Alpha or Luna Ceremony. Additionally, ensure that a trial date is set for Alpha Leon, should he wish to contest our decision before the King,” Elder Jensen replies, his gaze steady.
“Alright, Joshua. Let’s get this mess sorted. I want those cancellation forms filled out—Alpha Leon will request them, and he’ll likely demand a trial to overturn their own Pack law,” I declare, ushering Elder Jensen toward the door.
As I open the door to let Elder Jensen out, I spot my third-in-command, Jesper, waiting just outside.
“Come on in, Jesper. We’ve got plenty to tackle, and thankfully, we have ample time to do it. But first, I need some answers, and maybe you can help me with that,” I say as Jesper steps into my office.
Joshua hands him the envelope, and I can’t suppress a low growl at the sight of that Pack emblem once again.
Silence blankets the room for a moment before Jesper bursts into laughter.
“Let me guess, we get to crash the happy celebration?” he asks, his laughter growing louder. It’s clear he finds joy in being the bearer of bad news, and I can’t help but stifle a giggle.
I decide to share the details of why I’ve been given the privilege of handling the cancellation, and both men respond with loud growls of solidarity.
Jesper has faced a similar situation in the past, and Joshua had his connection severed before a bond could even form.
The reason behind Nico’s choice of Lucy over me remains a mystery, while Jesper and Joshua both understand why their own proposals were turned down. Neither of them held a high enough rank; both women aspired to be with an Alpha.
Good luck to them. Most Alphas are arrogant, obnoxious, and downright rude; they genuinely believe they are the Goddess’ gift to women.
Conclusion
As I sit behind my new desk, the weight of my new responsibilities settles on my shoulders like a heavy cloak.
