The Forgotten Princess & her Beta Mates novel Chapter 27

Confusion

Daxton’s po.v.

“The story isn’t publicly known at the request of Princess Dyala, she didn’t want to tear her family apart and refused to go home. The King finally came here and the Algha told him the truth about the necklace, forcing the King to rethink the appointment of his Son as the King

He hadn’t counted on one thing though, Princess Dyala didn’t want anything to do with her two conniving Brothers and asked her Father to leave the matter in the past.” I tell Dallas.

No one knows what happened to the necklace and I hope that someone destroyed the damn thing, because it ruined the life of an innocent woman.

“Did s

she ever return to the Palace?” Dallas asks and I understand her curiosity.

“No, she found a connection in a neighboring Pack. She unfortunately died before they had any children, so her bloodline within the Royal family died down.” I answer her.

Dallas stares at the painting for a little longer, before she tries to squirm out of my arms.

“No, I am not letting go of you. Tell me where you wanna go and I will take but you are staying in my

e pulls back a little to allow herself to look into my eyes, quickly realizing that I have no intention of letting her

“Fine. I need to get back to those files, there is still much to prepare for and I don’t have forever.” Dallas says, while she looks over her shoulder at the table.

“Where you expertise anyone?” I ask when we hear a knock on the door.

I put her down in a chair after she has shaken her head, the others wouldn’t knock because we have nothing to hide from one another.

Opening the door I see Lara standing outside the Alpha Library, the Omega that still reports to Madeline. She shouldn’t be on the Alpha floor, because it isn’t her assigned floor and that makes Cyran rather suspicious of her presence here.

“Lara, what are you doing on the Alpha floor?” I ask and I hear papers moving across the table. Sounds to me as if Dallas doesn’t trust this either.

“I came to see if Captain Dallas needed anything, I know she has a job to do and I just want to make sure that she has everything she needs. Alpha Preston can forget about refreshments while working and I just wanted to make sure that doesn’t happen to Captain Dallas.” Lara answers the and to anyone else this would make sense, but another Omega is assigned to the Alpha floor.

It would be her job to check up on Dallas and get refreshments for Dallas, if she would want them.

“Isn’t that Judy’s job? Luna Pear told me that she takes care of the Alpha floor.” Dallas asks from behind me.

Lara looks from Dallas to me but neither of us says another word, both of us waiting for Lara to answer Dallas! question.

“I wanted to help Judy out, she is busy cleaning the Alpha floor and doesn’t have time to come here to look after Captain Dallas.” Lara answers after a few seconds.

“Strange.” Dallas mumbles and Lara isn’t the only one staring at her. “Luna Pearl made sure to inform Judy that she had to check up on me regularly and to alert me when it is time for lunch or dinner.”

Dallas made it sound as if Lara doesn’t trust Judy to do her job, but every Pack–member knows that Judy has been taking care of the Alpha family for decades and she is damn good at her job. Sometimes it seems as if she knows what Preston or Pearl needs before they do and Darius and have pointed out a few times that it is creepy

“Get back to your assigned location, Lara. Show up here again without permission and I will report it to Alpha Preston.” Dallas says before she closes the door in Lara’s face.

She grabs my hand and walks back to the table to continue working I took some files with me to do some of my tasks and soon the room is quiet, except for our breathing and the occasional turning of papers.

1 am going through the kitchen budget, Pearl mentioned a small discrepancy in last month’s invoices and it is my job to check it. Darius does all the Beta tasks that involve meetings and everything connected to that, while I take care of the financial aspects.

Going through the file, I find last month’s receipts and invoices from deliveries. I compare them to every input in our bookkeeping program, moving them to the right when they match up and to the left if something looks out of place.

Once I have checked every receipt and every invoice, I am left with six receipts that don’t add up. It totals to a hundred and fifty bucks that are missing from the books, not much money but enough to take a better look at the books.

Something wrong, Old man?” Dallas asks with a smile and I pull her onto my lap while Cyran growls softly at ber teasing.
