Beta Walker is pacing around the Alpha office, he still can’t believe that Dallas came back and just ignored him. Hell, she even called him Beta Walker.

He had seen her walk towards the stage, but with the hood shrouding her face in shadows, he hadn’t recognized her as his own Daughter. He had never seen anyone walk towards an Alpha with that much confidence.

His whole life he had hoped for a better position in life, but his true Mate–bond hadn’t given it to him and even the woman he fell in love with had failed him. Beta Walker had wanted more than he was born for and after the Alpha and Luna Ceremony he would have gotten everything he ever wanted.

“How did she manage to cancel our Ceremony?” Lucy whined, but it didn’t do her any good.

“You know that there is only one reason why I allowed you to become the next Luna and if it hadn’t been for that reason, I would have kicked you out of the territory, Lucy.” Alpha Leon answered her.

He still couldn’t believe that Nico had been so stupid, that he had thrown away his change at a true Mate–bond and for what, a few hours with Lucy. Their ancestors had been clear about the conditions an Alpha needed to meet to take over, but Nico had somehow forgotten about those conditions.

Dallas had somehow found out about the Pack–laws and managed to warn the Elders about it, but how did she know that we would be holding an Alpha and Luna Ceremony.

I apparently didn’t keep it in my head, because I suddenly hear my Mate say, “I send an invitation to the Elders, it is required according to the Pack–laws.”

Alpha Leon started cussing and swearing, his fucking Mate had done something good for once in her life and this had been one time he had hoped that she had remained her usual airheaded self.

“Dad, I’m sorry. I know that you warned me about this, but I hadn’t expected Dallas to come looking for me. We hadn’t made any plans and usually she would wait for me to show up.” Nico says for the umpteenth time since Dallas rejected him and walked out of the Pack- house.

None of them had expected her to leave the Pack, none of them had expected her to join the Elders and they sure as hell hadn’t expected her to show up today to cancel the Alpha and Luna Ceremony.

“What will happen during the trial, Alpha?” Beta Walker asked, he had never been to one and he hadn’t even known that this was a possibility.

Beta Walker had studied their Pack–laws for years, because he wanted to see if he could gain anything with a Daughter instead of a Son. Dallas would take over his Beta position, because history had shown him that she would never do better than a Beta as her true Mate–bond.

If he had known that Dallas and Nico were forming a true Mate–bond, he would have kept Lucy away from Nico. Unfortunately, he had been to blind to see what was happening between Nico and Dallas.

“I will tell the King that Nico’s true Mate–bond died, that he fell in love with Lucy and that I just want him to be happy. No one can tell them the truth and a trial is always held with just the King and a select group of Elders.” Alpha Leon says.

Alpha Leon is right, only the King, the Alpha and four Elders will be present for the trial. There are no witnesses to be heard, no documents to be shown, no pictures or videos used as evidence.

Unknown to Alpha Leon, the Elders had asked the King to change the process a year ago. They had wanted to change the trials for a long time and with Dallas coming forward, they finally had everything they needed to make these trials more fair for everyone involved.

Elder Jensen had asked the King to consider the changes that the Elders wanted and he used Dallas‘ situation as an example, after they had received the invitation to the Alpha and Luna Ceremony.

So, the King decided to let Shadow Valley Pack to become the first Pack that would be judged by the new rules. A test so to speak, the King wanted to know if his ruling would be different if they changed the rules.

Alpha Leon will meet with the King and four Elders in the late afternoon, he will be informed that the ruling will happen the next morning. Just to make him think that nothing has changed and his entourage is invited to hear the King’s ruling.

However, he will be in for a surprise in the morning. Not only will his entourage be there, also every Elder will be there and the Alphas of the five largest Packs in the Kingdom will be there.

Dallas‘ Squad will be there to keep the peace and to make sure that no one can leave the Throne room.

The Elders had discussed this for many years and every time they had a meeting about this subject, they would add or dismiss a condition. Until they felt that they had found the best way to hold the trials and Shadow Valley Pack would out it to the test.

Nico had been deep in thought after he had apologized to his Father for messing things up,

he still couldn’t believe that he had let her walk out of his life and seeing her again after a year had been a huge shock.

Everyone had always thought that Lucy had been prettier, kinder, smarter and more confident than Dallas, but today they had all seen that Dallas was more beautiful than Lucy and she had shown more confidence as she walked towards them.
