Remember


    Das‘ pov.


    <b>I </b>am walking to the library, I am going there to go over everything we have gathered for the trial and to get away from a certain Pack–member who doesn’t seem to understand that she will never be my friend.


    Daxton and Darius take turns in staying with me, we want to make this bond work and only spending time together will aplish that. I also like having them around, because they make me feel safe and I have missed that most of my life.


    I thought I wouldn’t feelfortable around a man after what Nico did, but Charna was right. They are nothing like Nico, they want this as much <b>as </b>1 do and the only reason they aren’t shouting it from the rooftop is their Mother.


    A problem I hope to resolve soon and I am d that I sent Joshua out <b>there </b>in his capacity as second inmand of a Squad.


    It will take a few days before Joshua and his team will return with Sage, it will take him a day or two to persuade the Alpha toe to Silver Eclipse Pack with Sage and her Mate.


    She is mated to the Beta of Blue Star Pack, but I had asked my Squad members to ask around about Sage and every Pack–member had told them the same thing. Sage only had eyes for Preston, she wanted an Alpha as a Mate and wasn’t afraid to hide it.


    Something still doesn’t make sense to me <b>and </b>I am d that I get to spend a few hours with Daxton, I hope he can help shed some light on this whole mess.


    Madeline will also be in trouble, after all she did keep it a secret from Daxton for twenty eight years and she never revealed the truth to the former Alpha or Alpha Preston. No she tried to use it as leverage to give Darius something she thought he had no right to.


    I <b>can </b>understand that they just gave up on <b>finding </b>the truth<b>, </b>I mean with Sage disappearing it would be difficult to convict Daxton of attempted rape and attempted forceful marking.


    “Daxton, why were you not staying in your own room that right?” I ask and I don’t have to exin what night I am talking about.


    “Oh, that is simple. We all took turns in sleeping in that room when we got the news that Sage wasing to stay with us. Preston didn’t want to risk her sneaking into his room at night and get stuck with a chosen Mate.” Daxton


    answers me.


    I don’t understand why they wouldn’t stay in a room next to Preston’s or across the hall from him, but it seems that Dayton gets my thoughts.


    “It is the only room on the Alpha floor that isn’t soundproof as we already exined and that wasn’t known by anyone outside of the leadership. It wasn’t the only room we stayed in, the room across the hall from Preston’s <b>was </b>the other room one of us would stay in.


    We did it all the time when we had visitors, there were too many stories <b>of </b>Alphas getting trapped by visiting females and we didn’t want Preston to end up with a Mate–bond that he didn’t want.” Daxton exins.


    <b>Yeah</b>, they were right with those thoughts. It is a huge red line throughout our history, females scheming their way into a position that wasn’t theirs and I am d that Preston had his friends to protect him.


    “Okay, I understand <b>that</b>. Did Sage ever show an interest in you or Darius?” I ask, more to see if she showed <b>a </b>different side of herself inside the Pack–house.

    “Uhm, nothing that jumps to mind. She didn’t act superior towards us, but she did make it clear that she wanted to be a Lama. She always dressed to the nines and it was never tacky, she knew how to dress to impress.” Daxton says, while we sit down at a table by the window.


    I grab the file on Lacy and start to read through all the information we were able to find on her.


    “Is this the B that stole your first connection?” Daxton asks, but he already lost me at the B. Charna is lying in the back of my head, her head covered with her paws.


    “Sorry, but <b>Pearl </b>will kick my ass if I say Bitch. She smacks the back of our heads the moment we forget and after. she pped my head three times in a row, learned to watch what I say.” Daxton says and Charna is giggling in the back of my head.


    Yeah, I am going to get into trouble with our Luna. <b>I </b><b>am </b>not <b>known </b>for sugarcoating anything and I do not <b>think </b>before I open my yap.


    I move the file on Lucy in Daxton’s direction and I let him read <b>what </b>we have uncovered in the past year. She has quite a few skeletons in her closet and it will bring a few people down with her at the trial.


    “Das, tell me that this is a joke. This is sick in more ”


    than one<b>.</b>” Daxton says.


    “No, this is all real. I doubt anyone but two people in Shadow Valley Pack <b>know </b>about this and all hell will break loose the moment Alpha Leon hears about this,” I tell him.


    1 grab a few more papers to add to her file, showing them to Daxton before I put them inside and Daxton is getting angrier by the minute.


    Charna forces me to sit on hisp to calm him and Cyran down and I let myself get wrapped in his arms, enjoying his warmth. I ce my head on his shoulder and I let my eyes roam around the Alpha Library.


    Like the library downstairs, this library is bright with enough sitting areas to give everyone who wants to be here some privacy. There are a lot fewer books here, but that is because the Alpha Library holds books on issues for a Pack’s leadership and every other book can be found in the library downstairs.


    There are also fewer bookshelves against the wall and every <b>now </b>and then a painting or some other piece of art. My eyes get glued to a painting right behind Daxton <b>and </b>I slowly sit up straight, not <b>taking </b>my eyes off the <b>painting </b>


    Daxton <b>turns </b>a bit in his seat and follows my line of sight to the painting, she has something familiar but I can’t tell what it is.


    “That is Princess Dy<b>, </b><b>she </b>was a rather unlucky girl. She was the fourth child and the only girl in the family. It always seemed as if she was adored by everyone in her family, but for at least one family member it <b>was </b>all an act.” Daxton says, while he lifts me in his arms and walks over to the painting.


    “That ne was a gift for her sixteenth birthday from her second Brother, but unknown to the rest of the family the ne served a purpose. If a Royal wears the ne from their sixteenth birthday, they will not get their Wolf or <b>Lycan </b>at the age of seventeen.


    Her younger Brother shifted into a Lycan at the age of seventeen and was dered the next King, while Dy never got her Wolf or Lycan. During a visit to our Pack, the Luna asked her to take the ne off during her visit and a week before she would return home she finally shifted in a Lycan.” Daxton <b>says</b>.


    I look from the painting to Daxton and try to remember if I ever heard about this Princess.
