Full Control
Daxton’s p.o.v.
The day we have been waiting for is finally here; today, King Vaughn will hold a new type of trial and we all hope that it will benefit Packs more than the old trial.
Preston had to reenact a trial to make us understand how the old trial worked and he decided to do it in front of all our Pack–members. Well, at least for the ones that weren’t on border patrol.
We all agreed that this type of trial was unfair to the majority of the Shifters involved and when Das had exined how the new trial would go, we realized that it dealt with the issue from more sides than just that of the Alpha
“Alphas, thank you all foring to the Pce. Most of you have no idea what is going to happen today, but I am confident that each of you will appreciate the efforts of the Elders to make a few changes <b>to </b>our Laws.” Elder Via says
We follow her to the King’s chamber and I can see the surprised looks on the Packs that walk in with us and Alpha Leon with his Pack–members.
As we sit <b>down </b>in the chairs that are put out for us, I see Joshua walking in with the entire Squad. They take up position around the chamber and thest to walk in are Jesper and Das.
“Alpha Leon, the Packs that are represented here today were also invited to the Alpha and Luna Ceremony that was to take ce <b>a </b>month ago. Can you tell them the exnation you gave King Vaughn yesterday as to why you wanted to break your own Packws?” Elder Jensen asks.
Alpha Leon <b>hasn’t </b>seen Das because his back is turned towards the door and neither have his Pack–members. He repeats his story in front of the other Alphas, but none of them is buying the story.
“Your Majesty, would you like to hear if Alpha Leon is telling the truth?” Elder Jensen asks, while he looks at King Vaughn <b>and </b>his four Sons.
After King Vaughn <b>gives </b>a nod with his head, Elder Jensen turns back towards us and I can feel Das approaching. “Your Majesty, My name is Das and I am the Daughter of Beta <b>Walker </b>of Shadow Valley Pack. On my eighteenth birthday, I found my connection to future Alpha Nico and we took the time to let it form into a true Mate–bond.
On the day that our bond had formed, my Lycan wasn’t acting like her usual self and walking <b>onto </b>the Alpha floor, I discovered why. Nico was fucking another woman; I rejected Nico in front of all the Pack–members that were in the main dining room and left to join the Elders.” Das states.
King Vaughn is looking at Das with shock clear on his face; it is quite a strange thing to hear. Before he can ask her anything, I see her nodding her head to Pedro and a momentter, we are all witnesses to what happened that morning.
It takes a few minutes for everyone to get control back of their Shifter part and I know that this will happen a few more times today. Even though I am not sure what Das has prepared for this trial.
“Our Packws state clearly that a future Alpha can only take the position, if he or she has a true Mate–bond. History has shown that after a rejection from a true Mate–bond, it will take a few years before a second connection <b>can </b>be found.
Jn Nico’s situation, it would have taken between three to five years and not mere weeks or months. Alpha Leon had an obligation to his Pack to announce another heir when he gave Nico permission to take Lucy as his Mate, but he didn’t do that either.” Das states, while a picture of that part of the Packws is shown on the <b>screen</b>.

Why would an Alpha allow his heir to take a chosen Mate One of the other Alphas mumbles, but Das has heard his question.
“Because he had no other choice. Breaking his own Packws was something he thought he could work <b>around</b>, but he couldn’t break one of our main Laws. Lucy got pregnant with Nico’s child and Law states that he has to ept her as his Mate, even If it means rejecting his true Mate bond.” Das answers,
Again, our attention gets drawn to the screen; a copy of a birth certificate is shown and it is right there for all of us to see. Nico is listed as the Father and a little further down on the form, It states that the child is of Alpha blood.
We can all do the math: that child was conceived on the day that Das rejected Nico.
‘Alpha Leon was the kind of Alpha 1 always respected; he added by the Law and made sure all the children were educated on our Laws, but I found out <b>that </b>it was all an act. <b>Unless </b>he was kept in the dark as well.” Das states and I am d that I kept an eye on her Father.
The guy looks a bit pale and you don’t have to be a genius to understand that he did something that was against our main Laws, maybe even against Shadow Valley’s Packws.
“Does this have anything to do with this trial?” Prince Quin asks, who will take over the Throne from his Father someday.
“Yes and No.” Das replies, but she doesn’t say anything else. She doesn’t want to influence them on the decision to listen to the rest of her story and we all wait until King Vaughn and his Sons are done with their Mind link.
We would like to hear the rest of your case. We will keep in <b>mind</b>, though, that it <b>isn’t </bpletely connected to this trial.” Prince Quin finally <b>says</b>.
“I will exin, in short, how Lucy became a part of Shadow Valley Pack and then I will exin the rest of my case.” Das responds.
We listen to her as she tells us about her sixth birthday party and how she wandered the forest to find Lucy all by herself. How her Father had given thest gift from her Mother to Lucy without listening to Das and how Lucy moved to the Beta floor a week after being found.
We already heard this part of the story, but it still angers me and Cyran. Darius and Camus don’t like hearing this again, either and it takes us a few minutes to get full control back.
