Darius‘ p.o.v.

Dallas is snuggled up against my side, her legs tangled with Daxton’s, and we both smile at her soft, little snores.

She barely slept last night because of this damn trial and it was clear that she was exhausted as we walked back to the SUVs. Her Squad had us all boxed in, ensuring that no one could reach their Captain if someone wanted to try something.

“I like this new type of trial. I could have done without the news that the little Bitch is her half Sister.” Ruth says with a smirk on her face.

Pearl turns around to look at Ruth, who is sitting in the row behind us with Rayden. Her eyes slowly move to Dallas and I can see the questions running through her mind.

“Do you think her Mother was a Lycan?” Pearl suddenly asks and Preston swears as the words sink in.

“She had to be; that Shithat is a Wolf.” Rayden responds. “The question is, what rank was she? Only a High- ranking Lycan female can produce a Lycan heir and I doubt that Walker would have let her go if he had known.”

“She didn’t say much about her Mother to us and she didn’t mention her during the trial. What if she never knew that her Mother was a Lycan? What if she doesn’t know much about Lycans? Or the difference between Wolves and Lycans?” I respond to Rayden’s remarks.

There are many differences between Wolves and Lycans, not just in appearance but also in the bond with their family and their Mate.

“Why don’t we ask Dallas about it when we get home? We can have dinner on the Alpha floor, and in the meantime, we can explain anything she doesn’t know or understand to her.” Pearl says. “She might have asked one of the Elders or one of her Squad members.”

Pearl is right; she shifted into a Lycan and would have gone looking for answers. For us, it is common knowledge that a Wolf Father and a Lycan Mother will produce a Wolf if the Mother is of a low rank. Only when the Mother is a Gamma or higher–ranked will the child be a Lycan, nothing less.

Wolves are unaware of that small piece of information; we don’t share much of that type of information with them.

It would cause even more unhappy Matebonds if we did. A Wolf would hardly ever reject their fated Mate because a Lycan in the family means a status boost in a Pack with Wolves; an Alpha might even grant them a higher rank.

We have seen it happen throughout history, but they never figured out why some have Lycan offspring and others don’t.

“You might want to wake her up; we are almost home.” Preston says and Camus pushes forward to look at our Mate as she wakes up from her nap.

“Did you say the B word, Ruth?” Dallas asks the moment Pearl slaps Ruth on the back of her head. “She might want to look for a different way to deal with that; I will probably cause her to hurt herself.”

Hook at Joshua to see if Dallas is kidding, but the look on his face tells me that she is dead serious about it. Camus is smiling in my head, hoping to hear her go at it one day.

“Dallas, children are running around the Pack–house. We have to set a good example.” Pearl states.

Dallas tilts her head to the right, her eye color changing rapidly. Charna has a few words to say on the subject and the smile on her face gets bigger and bigger.

“Luna Pearl, do you think anyone would take me serious if said B instead of Bitch when I am pissed?” Dallas asks, and we can see that Pearl is seriously considering it.

The moment she looks at Dallas, both of them start laughing. She has trouble saying whatever it is that she wants to say and every time she starts laughing again.

Daxton lifts Dallas in a bridal style and quickly makes his way up to the Alpha floor while Ruth asks one of the Omegas to serve dinner upstairs.

We follow them up the stairs to find out what Dallas knows about her Mother or what she knows about the difference between Wolves and Lycans. I have a feeling that she will wake up in the middle of the night because something finally makes sense to her and Charna.

“Dallas, you are right. No one would take you serious if you said B instead of Bitch. I have to ask you to consider when you use the full word; it will set a bad example for the children.” Pearl says after Preston has placed her on a

couch.
