**TITLE: Werewolf and Letting On**
**Chapter 83**
Quinlan’s perspective.
Have they completely lost their minds?
First, they conveniently forget that Dezra has been stripped of her titles, and now they act as if Dallas, a vital member of the Royal family, is incapable of stepping into her rightful role. The disrespect they’ve shown towards Dallas is staggering, and if I didn’t already harbor a deep-seated disdain for the Elders, their behavior today would have sealed the deal.
Dallas is right; the Elders who aligned themselves with Elder Dawn are poised to create a multitude of problems for us in the future. I can only hope we can address these issues before they escalate into something far more serious.
As I sit there, lost in my thoughts, I hear Dallas’s voice break through the tension. “Nicely done, Aunt Eliza. Chama was on the verge of tearing her apart.” She walks back into Dad’s office, her expression a mix of amusement and irritation.
“Dallas, we need to unravel the mystery of what happened all those years ago. I refuse to let any Elder disrespect us or undermine this Kingdom. It’s imperative we understand their limitations and our rights,” I assert, glancing at Dad as he settles into his chair behind the desk.
I can sense his curiosity bubbling just beneath the surface, and I wait for everyone to take their seats before continuing.
“The Elders don’t wield as much power as we’ve been led to believe. There’s a book in the library detailing their duties, but I suspect it’s a reprint,” I explain, my voice steady but laced with urgency. I pause for a moment, gauging their reactions before elaborating on why we suspect the book is not an original.
“Why don’t we head to the library and inspect every book there?” Dad suggests, but I notice Dallas shaking her head vigorously.
Dallas understands the importance of uncovering the truth and the steps we need to take to rectify this situation. Why would she resist going to the library?
“I’ll have my Squad handle it on Monday. The Elders will likely be too distracted to interfere, and we can utilize the weekend to implement changes among the Servants,” Dallas responds, addressing my unvoiced question with clarity.
The Servants should indeed be our primary focus; figuring out their role might shed light on why Jeff hired them in the first place.
Just as I’m about to delve deeper into the matter, a knock at the door interrupts my thoughts. Mom opens the door to reveal one of the Servants from our private wing. Her presence here raises my suspicions; she shouldn’t have any reason to be in this part of the palace, and I can’t shake the feeling that she might be one of Elder Dawn’s pawns.
“Your Majesty, dinner will be served in the main dining room at seven. Elder Dawn thought you would appreciate a later dinner,” the Servant announces with an air of formality.
“Thank you, Lucia, but we’ll be dining in our private wing tonight,” Mom replies firmly.
“In fact, instruct all the Servants to take the rest of the day and night off. I want to spend some uninterrupted time with my family,” Dallas declares, her tone leaving no room for argument. Lucia stares at her, clearly taken aback by the unexpected command.
Almost everyone in the room turns their gaze away from Lucia, suppressing smiles that threaten to break free at the absurdity of the situation. I had never given much thought to the Servants bustling in and out at all hours, but now I’m beginning to question their intentions.
“Your Majesty, I don’t think Princess Dallas fully understands our job description,” Lucia finally interjects, her voice wavering slightly.
“I do understand your job description. However, I desire a peaceful evening with my family, and I believe you all deserve a break,” Dallas asserts, her confidence shining through.
“She’s incredibly astute. She’s going to make an excellent Beta for our Kingdom,” Brogan, my Lycan companion, observes, clearly impressed.
He admires Dallas and her Mates, appreciating her willingness to roll up her sleeves and engage in hard work.
“Lucia, you heard Princess Dallas. Send all the Servants home; we have no need for you tonight,” Mom states decisively, and after a brief moment of hesitation, Lucia nods and exits the room.

“Thanks, Aunt Eliza,” Dallas says, gesturing for one of her Squad members to step inside. “I wanted to organize a family night because I want to get to know my family before Uncle Vaughn buries me under a mountain of work.”
“You’re very welcome, dear,” Mom replies warmly, while the Squad member moves around the room, retrieving three small devices from various spots, though he doesn’t seem to have a plan for them just yet.
“We’ll head upstairs while Pablo tries to figure out how long those devices have been there,” Dallas communicates through the mind-link, and we all catch on to her intentions.
“Dallas, we should check the kitchen to see if there’s anything you need for dinner. I hope you can prepare a meal for a large group because once word spreads that you’re cooking, people will emerge from every corner,” Dad warns, opening the office door and leaving his key behind on the desk.
Pablo remains hidden as we exit the office, and I ensure the door clicks shut behind me.
When I finally close the door to our private wing, I find Mom and Dallas in the kitchen, already bustling about. Darius and Daxton are in the living room with my Brothers and Nephews, engaged in a lively discussion about the earlier meeting.
“I thought Mom was going to explode at Elder Dawn for that remark,” Weston remarks, his eyes wide with disbelief.
“Nah, your Mom knows how to handle people like her. She did an exceptional job. She was respectful to the Elder but made it abundantly clear that she wouldn’t tolerate any nonsense from anyone. Just like Dallas did with that Servant girl, Lucia,” Daxton replies, nodding in agreement.
He’s right; both of them possess a remarkable ability to deal with irritating individuals while maintaining a veneer of politeness.
“It’s one of the first things Dad told me to observe. He said that Mom can put people in their place without upsetting anyone; she even does it to us,” I add as I settle down next to one of my Brothers.
Daxton chuckles at the bewildered expression on Weston’s face, but Dad quickly affirms my observations about Mom. In no time, my Brothers are clamoring for examples, and Dad is more than happy to oblige.
He recounts a few memorable instances when Mom wielded her diplomatic finesse on us, and after each story, my Brothers reluctantly concede that I was right.
“I still can’t believe none of us ever noticed it. Mom is incredibly skilled,” Everett mutters, shaking his head in disbelief.
Yeah, it turns out diplomacy can work wonders even on a bunch of kids, and Mom has employed it far more often than Dad is willing to admit.
