The Forgotten Princess & her Beta Mates novel Chapter 8

Darius’ p.o.v.

The entire week I keep thinking about Ruth’s remark, why hadn’t I thought of it myself?

“Too busy with ignoring them, too busy with avoiding them.” Camus, my Lycan, says.

He is right, Daxton and I have been busy with keeping our meddling Mother at bay. If we could stay away from our Mother and Daniella, we would.

“Preston, we need to talk after dinner.” I say, knowing that he will understand that I don’t want anyone else to hear what I have say.

I walk into the dining room to see that our Mother and Daniella are once again sitting at our table, Daxton is standing near the window and the look in his eyes is murderous.

“Daxton, just know that I want what is best for you. You will never find that connection, you are too old and a chosen Mate is your only option.” Mother says and I get brought back to Ruth’s remark.

I know that history tells us that Shifters usually find their connection between eighteen and thirty, but ever since we found our new way of finding a Mate, the age of finding that connection has shifted a lot.

“Mother, stop. I am getting sick and tired of this.” I growl, as I walk over to my seat.

“Darius, I wasn’t talking to you. I was just discussing something with your Brother.” Mom says with an annoyed voice and I want to respond, but I don’t get the chance.

“I have had enough of this, stop bugging Daxton about taking a chosen Mate and using his age as a reason is Bullshit. Preston and I met two years ago, Rayden and Ruth met a year ago and both of them were the same age as Daxton and Darius are now.

You are no longer welcome at this table and I don’t care that you are their Mother. You and Daniella can leave right this minute and if I ever hear you talk to Daxton like that again, I will ban you from the Pack-house. Is that clear?” Luna Pearl asks.

Daniella is smart enough to get moving, after she has acknowledged that she understood Luna Pearl. Mom is unwilling to bow down, but I know who this is going to win and how this will probably end.

“Am I clear?” Luna Pearl asks again, her eyes locked with those of my Mother and I hear her softly mumble a Yes.

“WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU SAY?” Luna Pearl roars and everyone around them takes a step back.

“Yes, Luna.” Mother mumbles, not that she is happy with it. She doesn’t move from her seat though and I can already feel the anger radiating from Luna Pearl.

Two Elite Warriors rush over to pull Mother from her seat, but she tries to fight them and that is a totally wrong move.
