Despite the looming tension, Dallas tries to maintain her composure and enjoy her meal, knowing that her loyal friends, Daxton and Darius, will support her through a mental link during the meeting. The urgency of the situation is palpable, as Dallas is keen to uncover hidden laws and duties that have been ignored.
As the meeting begins, Dallas quickly realizes that the Throne room is filled with skepticism and discontent among the Elders and their families. Elder Dawn openly opposes Dallas’s mother, Queen Eliza, assuming responsibilities traditionally held by Elder Jeff.

**Dallas’po.x**
After casting one last glance at Elder Dawn, I settle into my seat at the breakfast table, eager to engage Grandpa in conversation about our upcoming wophand. The aroma of freshly cooked eggs and warm toast fills the air, a comfort I desperately need amidst the brewing tension.
I can feel Elder Dawn’s piercing gaze boring into my back, a sensation akin to being scrutinized under a magnifying glass. But for now, I choose to ignore it. I want to savor my breakfast and enjoy a moment of peace before we face the Elders.
Daxton and Darius, my loyal companions, will be communicating with me through our mind-link during the meeting, feeding me the crucial information I need to navigate the complexities ahead. Even Uncle Vaughn will chime in if there’s something I must address.
To my surprise, Elder Jensen leads us toward the Throne room, and as we cross the threshold, it becomes abundantly clear why this meeting isn’t taking place in the King’s Chamber. The atmosphere is thick with tension, every family member of every Elder present, their expressions a mix of skepticism and discontent.
“Not everyone is pleased with Mom stepping into former Elder Jeff’s role,” Quinlan explains through our mind-link, his voice laced with concern. “They’ll try to overwhelm you, hoping to distract you enough that you won’t support Dad.”
I smirk inwardly at their misguided attempts. They have no idea how determined I am to prolong this meeting. Every second counts; my Squad needs time to comb through the missing laws and duties that have been swept under the rug.
“Uncle Vaughn, can we kick off this meeting by discussing the Ceremony for my Squad and me?” I ask, my voice steady and confident.
I don’t need to elaborate; he understands the strategy behind my request. We all recognize the necessity of keeping the Elders occupied for as long as possible.
“Good morning, everyone. I must admit, I’m a bit taken aback to see all of you here. This meeting is meant for the Elders alone. I kindly request that anyone who isn’t an Elder step outside,” Uncle Vaughn declares, his tone firm yet respectful.
“Your Majesty, our families are here to voice our concerns regarding Princess Dallas assuming the role of Royal Beta. We also have several issues with Queen Eliza taking over my Brother’s duties,” Elder Dawn interjects, her voice dripping with condescension.
I feel a hand on my shoulder, grounding me as I realize I’m half-risen from my seat. Charna, my fierce inner wolf, is urging me to confront this insufferable woman.
“Elder Dawn, I have a question, and I expect an honest answer,” I state, standing tall. “Why are you opposed to Queen Eliza taking on responsibilities that pertain to her wing and her family?”
I lock eyes with her, ensuring she feels the weight of my gaze, the discomfort radiating off her like heat from a flame.
“Our family has always been in charge of the Royal wing—hiring and firing servants, overseeing repairs, and replacing broken items. There is simply no need for the Queen to take on those responsibilities,” Elder Dawn responds, her tone defensive.
Charna and I exchange a knowing glance; we don’t believe her for a second. I’m determined to keep pressing until she cracks.
“Our Queen is more than capable of handling those duties. We’ve been discussing this for years, and as always, you oppose it. I stand with Princess Dallas, and this doesn’t add up. So, answer the question,” Elder Venetia asserts, her voice ringing with authority.
Elder Dawn shifts uncomfortably under the scrutiny of every Shifter in the Throne room, and I can sense her mind-linking someone for support. Charna’s eyes dart around the room, landing on a man lingering at the back.
“Quinlan, who’s that man in the light blue striped shirt at the rear?” I inquire, curiosity piqued.
“That’s Elder Dawn’s father. He’s never far from these meetings, and like today, she often seeks his counsel during them,” Quinlan replies, his voice low.
It seems her father has more influence in these discussions than he ought to. He’s no longer an Elder; the reins should be in his daughter’s hands. I can only imagine how much he resents this loss of control.
“Elder Dawn, is there a reason your father feels the need to coach your responses?” I ask, ensuring everyone recognizes her reliance on outside assistance.
“Princess Dallas, it’s inappropriate for you to ask that question,” her father interjects, but I choose to disregard him, keeping my focus on Elder Dawn.
“Well then, Elder Dawn, would you care to answer both questions, starting with the latter?” I press, my gaze unwavering.
Murmurs ripple through the room, but I refuse to let them distract me. My focus remains solely on Elder Dawn, intent on gauging her reactions.
“I wanted to ensure my response wasn’t perceived as offensive, so I sought his advice on it,” Elder Dawn finally admits, her voice laced with hesitance. “As for the other question, I believe our Queen should focus on her family and not be burdened with trivial matters.”
The murmurs grow louder, and I tune in to the sentiments being expressed. Most of the Shifters disagree with Elder Dawn, though a few seem to support her stance.
“Elder Dawn, as an Elder, you carry significant responsibilities. Does this suggest someone else manages your household?” I challenge, my tone sharp.
It takes her a moment to comprehend the implications of my question, and I can see Elder Jensen suppressing a grin.
“No, I manage that myself. I understand why you ask, but I can handle both my job and my household,” she finally responds, though I sense the strain in her words.
“If I interpret your answer correctly, you’re suggesting that despite your demanding role as an Elder, you can still oversee your household. Yet, according to your reasoning, the Queen cannot manage the Royal household. I find that quite disrespectful, to be honest,” I retort, my voice steady and unwavering.
For a moment, the room falls silent, everyone likely trying to devise a way to defend Elder Dawn’s words, to spin them into something less offensive.
In my view, there’s no justification for her remarks, and anyone attempting to excuse her will face Charna’s wrath. She has a deep-seated disdain for Elder Dawn and all that she represents.
Conclusion
As the tension in the Throne room swells, I can feel the tide turning in our favor. My heart races with a blend of anxiety and exhilaration; this is not just a battle for my mother’s rightful place but a stand for every voice that has been silenced by tradition and prejudice. Elder Dawn’s defensive posture reveals her vulnerability, and I know that my unwavering stance is beginning to shake her foundation. The murmurs of discontent among the Shifters resonate with my own feelings, and I realize that I am not alone in this fight. Together, we are challenging the status quo, and with each question I pose, I am reclaiming not only my mother’s authority but also my own identity as a leader. The support from my Squad and the encouragement from the Elders who stand with me fuel my resolve, igniting a fire within that I never knew I possessed.
As the meeting progresses, I can sense a shift in the atmosphere, one that speaks of hope and unity. The weight of familial expectations and centuries-old traditions begins to lift, replaced by the promise of a future where every member of our community is valued and empowered. My confrontation with Elder Dawn is not just a personal victory; it symbolizes a collective awakening among the Shifters. I feel Charna’s presence beside me, fierce and unyielding, reminding me that I am not just fighting for myself but for every wolf who has ever felt marginalized. With the echoes of my words still resonating in the room, I take a deep breath, knowing that whatever the outcome, I have taken my stand. I am ready to embrace the responsibilities that come with my role, not just as Princess Dallas but as a catalyst for change in our world.
