Dallas‘ p.o.v.

I am lying in bed between my Mates, staring up at the ceiling.

Daxton and Darius did an excellent job of keeping me distracted, but the moment they fell asleep, my mind started racing again.

Charna has been quiet since we heard that our Mother wasn’t dead. She must realize that we have information in our mind that can answer a few questions. All we need to do is find the pieces and put the puzzle back together.

I shoot straight up at the memory that Charna is showing me and I am already halfway to the door when I realize that I don’t want to do this on my own.

“Daxton.” I call out as I shake his shoulder to wake him up. Darius is the first to open his eyes and without asking questions, he gets out of bed after knocking Daxton on the head.

“What?” Baxton asks as he sits up in bed and when he sees me standing next to him, he smiles. “You figured something out, didn’t you?”

I grab his hand to drag him out of bed and pull him with me out of the bedroom. I grab my laptop before we leave the Beta floor and we walk up the stairs without saying a word.

We walk into the library on the Alpha floor, both my Mates looking as if I have lost a few marbles.

“Do you remember this picture?” I ask as I show them the picture of the necklace that Lucy destroyed. “Yeah, that was supposed to be yours and Walker gave it to Lucy.” Darius answers.

“Take a good look at it and tell me what comes to mind.” I say as I sit down in a chair next to the table.

“It must have been beautiful when it was in one piece.” Darius says with a smile on his face.

Daxton looks at me from the screen before he starts staring at it again; he must have figured out what I want him to see.

“Dallas, tell me you’re kidding. This can’t be true.” Daxton mumbles as his eyes remain fixed on the screen. Darius isn’t seeing what Daxton sees, but then again, he wasn’t here that first time.

“Care to explain what you are doing on our floor in the middle of the night?” Preston asks.

“Sure, but your Gamma couple might want to hear this too.‘ I tell Preston as I turn the screen towards Pearland ask her the same question I asked my Mates.

Like Darius, she doesn’t seem to get my drift. I wait until everyone has taken their turn at staring at the damn picture, but only Daxton has connected the dots.

“Darius, can you describe out loud what you see?” I ask him, while turning the laptop towards him.

“A pear–shaped stone with a rainbow effect, featuring many small diamonds and a small chain adorned with a teardrop–shaped diamond.” Darius says as he looks at the picture.

While everyone was listening to Darius describe the necklace, Daxton had turned his attention elsewhere.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Darius asks when he finally looks at his Brother and sees what Daxton is staring at.

The painting of Princess Dyala features a diamond choker consisting of two rows, with a pear–shaped stone hanging in the middle, creating a rainbow effect.

His Eyes

Every person in the library knew the story behind the necklace; they knew why it was gifted to Dyala and what the consequences had been. It nearly destroyed their Kingdom and their Royal family.

“How did she get her hands on that necklace?” Daxton asks “I thought it was hidden deep in the Royal vault, out of reach of anyone who might want to use it for evil.”

“The bigger question is: how did she know what the necklace could do?” Darius asks.

I don’t have an answer to either question because I never knew the story behind the necklace until Daxton shared it with me.

“You said during the trial that Walker showed it to you on your sixth birthday. Did he tell you when he got it from your Mother?” Daxton asks.

“I always assumed that she gave it to him when she left, but I can’t be sure.” I asnwer him.
