Dallas‘ p.o.v.

I listen to Elder Jensen as he explains what he and Elder Venetia have uncovered so far and the more I hear, the more I realize that even the Royal family has secrets.

Centuries ago, the Elders were chosen to keep the Royal family honest and ensure they didn’t put themselves above the Laws. It seems we need to clean house within the Elders; some have become too comfortable with their powers or at least the powers they think they have.

I am not saying that each Elder is guilty of bending the rules to their favor or hiding information that is important to the Royal family and every Shifter in this Kingdom.

“How do you plan on bringing this to King Vaughn’s attention, Dallas?” Elder Jensen asks.

He knows I want to bring this out in the open because it concerns me more than anyone else, but we need a solid plan to get this in front of the Royal family and the Elders.

“Our best option is to make it a meeting between the Elders and our Leadership about trial changes. You can ask King Vaughn about the order to stay quiet up front and use distraction as an excuse for your request. Once he gives the order, you can link me and my Squad will guard the exits.” I answer his question.

Thad time to think about this and started planning the security for this meeting with Joshua and Jesper. Both of them will be coming with me to the Palace and even Darius and Daxton are joining us.

“Can you and Elder Venetia give me all the information you found? I want to prepare myself and start the meeting with all the misinformation surrounding Dyala.” I ask Elder Jensen.

Elder Jensen gives me a week to prepare. He wants to get this out in the open as fast as we can. Our Kingdom deserves to know the truth and the sooner they learn the truth, the sooner we can start making changes.

An hour after my talk with Elder Jensen, I get my hands on everything they found on Dyala.

Preston puts it in the safe with the other files; I am taking the rest of the day off from all this drama. My Mates follow me around as I walk aimlessly around the territory, enjoying the peace and quiet as I sit down under a huge tree.

For the next week, I spent my mornings locked in an office with Joshua. As we prepared for the first part of the meeting, every piece of information on Dyala and what happened to her found its way into our file.

The second part of the meeting was a bit more complex; I hate to be the one to tear a family apart, but there is no other option. I swore an oath to reveal the truth if I stumbled upon lies, to protect those who can’t protect themselves for whatever reason.

I never thought that when I took that oath, it would involve my own family one day. That I would be protecting someone who died a long time ago, but Dyala needs protecting even in death.

Neither of us ever asked for our situations and I can’t change anything about what Dyala went through, but I can make changes to my situation.

My afternoons are spent training with my Squad and my Mates, it is my way of taking a step back from the storm that is about to hit us. Something deep inside me tells me that not everyone is aware of what this meeting will mean for the future.

A future that will change drastically from what everyone is used to. I owe it to our Kingdom and every Shifter to force the Royal family to break with tradition.

Our Laws need to be upgraded and changed for everyone’s benefit. Some need additions, some need to be removed completely and some need to be more detailed. It was one of the problems I have always had with our Laws; they only serve the High–ranking Shifters and the Elders never take the side of a Low–ranking Shifter.

“Are you ready for tomorrow?” Darius asks as he pulls me into his arms.

“I am ready. Doesn’t mean that I will enjoy this meeting.” answer him before our lips touch and I spend another night in true bliss.

The nights with Daxton and Darius exhaust me and make me fall into a deep sleep when we finally lie down. Sometimes one of them wakes me in the morning in a way never expected, usually followed by another orgasm or two in the shower.

I don’t think I have ever slept this well in my life; I always wake up feeling well–rested. I doubt I will be able to sleep without one of them next to me and I have no intention of finding that out any time soon.
