The Forgotten Princess & her Beta Mates novel Chapter 4

Daxton’s p.o.v.

“Good morning, Daxton.” I hear Carl, our future Alpha, say. I doubt it is a good morning if he is standing behind me, he only comes looking for me if someone told him to come and get me.

“Who send you?” I ask him, as I turn to face him. I want to look into his eyes when he answers me, it will tell me if he is aware of why he was send here.

“My Mother, I believe it has to do with an invitation from Shadow Valley Pack. Between you and me, I think Dad might order you to go.” Carl answers and I know that he is telling the truth.

I am forty seven and I still haven’t found my true Mate-bond, I never met a woman my Lycan felt a connection with. I have been waiting for twenty nine years to find that connection, but so far I haven’t been able to find her and I gave up on finding her years ago.

The people around me are still hoping that I will find her one day, they want me to go to other Packs to look for her. I did that for over a decade with no results and now I no longer want to go through it.

“I am sorry, Daxton. Mom wants you at the Pack-house for lunch, on the Alpha floor.” Carl says and I know that he is sorry, our entire future leadership understands me.

None of them have found their true Mate-bond yet and they have to attend as many events as the Pack gets invited to.

I reluctantly follow Carl to the Pack-house, there is no point in shooting the messenger. I am not sure how this lunch will go, but something tells me that I will have given everyone a piece of my mind before it is over.

Chatter is coming from the dining room and I can already hear my Mother’s voice above the others.

“If he doesn’t find his Mate during that Alpha Ceremony, he will need to take Daniella as his chosen Mate.” Mom says and even though I am not in the room, I know the smirk Daniella will have on her face.

“I will never take Daniella as my chosen Mate. If and that is a big IF I take a chosen Mate, I will decided who becomes my chosen Mate. You don’t have a say in it, Mother.” I say calmly, knowing that this annoys the hell out of her.

Not just my tone of voice, but also the fact that I use the word Mother instead of Mom.

No one says a word as I sit down across the table from my Mother and Daniella, both of them have an annoyed look on their face. Carl sits down in the seat that was meant for me, next to Daniella.

“What is this I hear about an invitation, Luna?” I ask, making sure that everyone understands that I know why I was summoned.
