The Forgotten Princess & her Beta Mates novel Chapter 23

Her Job

Darius‘ p.o.v.

Damn it. We really pissed off Dallas by telling Preston that she had refused to answer our question and now we can’t even go to see her.

The library on the ground floor is for all Pack–members and going there to see Dallas would mean that our Mother would find out that we have an interest in her.

“Have the three of you lost your minds?” Pearl asks the moment the door to the Alpha office has closed and we all know that she is not expecting an answer from us, it is just her way of telling us that she is going to bite our heads off.

“She doesn’t have to answer your questions, Preston. First of all, you are not her Alpha and secondly, she is a Squad Captain.” Pearl says as she sits down in an armchair and we can

hear Preston mumble.

“As for the two of you, I suggest that you start thinking real hard about taking a chosen Mate. If you can’t let her do her job, the way she has done it until now, then you will lose her before a bond can be formed. Dallas is Captain for a reason and you better keep that in mind.” Pearl says, while she looks from Daxton to me and back again.

“I will see if I can get her up to the Alpha floor for lunch and you make sure that you have found a way to apologize to her, that goes for all three of you.” Pearl growls, before she gets up and walks out of the office.

“What she said.” Ruth states, before she follows Pearl out of the office.

“I am with Pearl and Ruth on this. I thought the three of you had a brain up there, guess I was mistaken.” Rayden says, but he stays seated.

“Oh, Fuck.” Preston says from behind his laptop. “We have an invitation to Alpha Leon’s trial.”

We walk around his desk to read the invitation and Rayden sighs in relief because he gets to stay home with Ruth.

“I just hope that the King has changed this trial enough to actually benefit those involved and that isn’t just a charade to please the powerful.” Preston growls.

Our Pack–laws haven’t changed since the first Alpha of Silver Eclipse Pack drafted them up, they have an added value to our main Laws. Just to make sure that breaking a Law would mean a bigger punishment than the King or the Elders asked for.

It is also why Daxton and I share the Beta title, not just because it is stated in our main Laws that a multiple will share a position, but also because our Pack–law says so.

Our Pack–law is a bit more clear on when a multiple won’t share a position and it is what saved Daxton from losing his right to the Beta title. Only if convicted by the King and the Elders, a multiple won’t share a position and Daxton and I have never been convicted of a

crime.

We spend the next few hours going over housing the Squad members, only Jesper and Dallas found a connection that can turn into a true Mate bond and that means that we can have others live together in a cottage.

“What about those old Omega houses? Maybe that will be a better idea, especially if they return from an assignment.” Daxton offers and I think he has a good point.

“Why don’t we let Dallas decide on that? It is her Squad and she will know if they would appreciate the offer.” Preston says. “It will also make it a little easier to apologize to her.”

Of course, Preston has a double agenda. However, in this case I can’t blame him. Not only is his Mate pissed, Dallas is also pissed at him.

“I guess you are right, it would go a long way if you could show her that you understand that the Squad is her responsibility.” Daxton replies.

We grab all the blueprints of the Omega houses, there is a lot that needs to be done to them and the sooner we can start on it, the better.

“Any idea on how we are going to apologize to Dallas?” Daxton asks through our mind–link, I just shrug my shoulders because I have no idea at the moment.

Dallas is staring out the window when we get to the Alpha floor and I am at a loss for words at the moment. I hadn’t expected her to join us for lunch, so I am just staring at her.

“Do you know who served the Beta family when your Father was still alive?” I hear Dallas ask, but she doesn’t take her eyes off whatever it is that she is looking at. “She did and she still reports to your Mother.”

Daxton and I both walk up to the window to see the Omega from this morning, the one that approached Dallas before she walked out of the dining room.

“Are you mad at us?” Daxton finally asks and her head snaps up to him.
