The Forgotten Princess & her Beta Mates novel Chapter 13

Second Connection

Dallas‘ p.o.v.

“Alpha Leon is starting his speech, Joshua and Jesper are waiting for you.” Elder Jensen says through the mind–link and I get out of the SUV with the file in my hands.

Joshua steps to my left and Jesper to my right, while I pull the hood of my coat over my head. My face is shrouded in shadow, making it more difficult for anyone to recognize me and that is what I want. At least until I am standing in front of that stage and I get to give them the cancellation order.

Charna is pushing forward as we walk towards the stage and I see a man staring at me, his hand reaching for the man next to him.

“There is a connection,” Charna says and I let my eyes glide to the second man, damn their twins. Charna is happy staring at the men we have a connection to, but I came here to do a job and I plan on completing this job.

Alpha Leon is looking at me with a pissed off look, but he hasn’t seen my face yet and I wait until the Luna and Lucy are standing next to their Mates.

“Casper, you’re up,” I say through the mind–link. I have had a suspicion ever since I left Shadow Valley Pack and he needs to prove me right or wrong.

“What the fuck is the meaning of this?” Alpha Leon asks and I see my Father walk up to his other side.

I grab the sides of my hood and I keep my eyes on my Father as I pull the hood back to reveal my face to everyone present.

“Dallas?” I hear my Father ask and Charna pushes forward to show him that I am no longer alone.

“Alpha Leon, the Elders have sent me here to hand you a cancellation order for the Alpha and Luna Ceremony,” I say as I hand his Gamma the papers. “You were about to break your Pack- laws without a trial in front of the King, Nico can’t take over the Pack without a true Mate- bond by his side.”

All of them look down at me with anger crossing through their eyes, but I am not really impressed.

“Jesper, guide the guests back to their vehicles and make sure they leave the territory,” I say before I turn towards the guests. “Just in case you didn’t understand it, there will be no Alpha or Luna Ceremony today.”

I hear a growl coming from behind me and I see both men from earlier get to their feet, they are glaring at someone behind me.

“Why do

you always try to ruin things for me, Dallas?” I hear Lucy whine. “You have always been jealous of what I manage to accomplish and now you are ruining our Alpha and Luna Ceremony.”

Elder Jesper gets up out of his seat and steps next to me, showing everyone that he is backing me up.

“Lucy, do you really want to discuss this out here and in front of all these people?” I ask her as I gesture around me, pointing around me at everyone still standing around the venue.

“Dallas, my office.” Alpha Leon growls and I just flip him the bird.

I turn towards the twins and smile when I see them standing right behind me, “Will the two of you wait until I have dealt with Alpha Leon?” I ask and both of them nod their heads.

“Alpha Leon, I don’t know what your history is with Captain Dallas, but I suggest you address her with her title. Just like every High–ranking Shifter wants to be addressed with their title, every Squad Captain needs to be addressed with their title.” Elder Jensen says as if he is lecturing a four–year–old.

“Fine. Captain Dallas, can we take this to my office?” Alpha Leon asks through gritted teeth and I turn around with a smile on my face.

“Of course, Alpha Leon. Please, lead the way.” I say as I gesture towards the Pack–house.

Jesper and Joshua follow me into the Pack–house and Alpha Leon doesn’t seem too pleased

with them following us into his office.

“Why are they here?” He asks me and I sit down in a chair in front of his desk.

“As witnesses to our conversation.” I answer him. “I don’t have to tell you about the Pack- laws and you don’t have to try to deny them. You have a decision to make, either you hand over the Alpha position to another or you ask for a trial with the King.”

I let my words sink in, I want Alpha Leon and the others to know that I am fully aware of what he can and can’t do.

“This is a trial date, just in case you want to change your Pack–laws. If you don’t show up on that date, it will be registered as a loss and that you will uphold your Pack–laws.” I say, before I place the file on his desk and walk towards the door.

“Dallas, why are you doing this?” Nico asks.

“It is Captain Dallas and you know the answer. Goodbye.” I say, while I open the door.

“Dallas, where are you going?” I hear my Father ask and I roll my eyes at Joshua, before I turn

back around.
