<b>“</b>Captain, do you have a moment?” Jesper asks as I walk up the stairs to the Beta floor,
I will leave for the ce in a few hours with my Mates <b>to </b>spend some time with my family, before the entire circus arrives <b>at </b>the Pce tomorrow morning.
<b>“</b><b>Of </b>course. Let’s take this into the living room.” I answer, knowing that the Beta floor is empty.
I have a feeling that I know what Jesper wants to discuss, but I will not jump to conclusions and make a mistake or two. We <b>walk </b>into the living room after grabbing something to drink from the fridge.
“We will be moving again, won’t we?” Jesper asks and I nod my head. “Can we bring Marcus with us?”
Hisst question doesn’t surprise me. I had already thought about that and doubted Uncle Vaughn would separate Belinda and
Marcus.
“Don’t worry about that. You know how the Royal family is regarding family values or at least most of the Royal family.<b>” </b>I say to Jesper. “Besides, they wouldn’t want to break up a couple with a true Mate–bond and I doubt Belinda is willing to move without Marcus.<b>” </b>
I know theplete background story on Marcus‘ upbringing and know that I wouldn’t want to leave him behind if he were my baby Brother.
“Belinda hasn’t said anything to Marcus yet; she is afraid he will identally tell others what is about to happen and she isn’t willing to risk it. She did mention that things would change soon and he seems to understand her reluctance to tell him anything more.” Jesper says.
I know that Belinda won’t be joining the Squad tomorrow. Like everyone else, she will be at the Packhouse to listen to the Elder who arrives here.
“She can exin everything to Marcus tomorrow after the Elder’s speech<b>, </b>because he is smart enough to understand the things no one says out loud.” I tell Jesper.
Jesper is about to leave when my Mates walk in. After some small talk, Jesper goes looking for Belinda and Marcus.
“Does Preston understand why the Squad ising with him to the Pce?” I ask Darius.
“No, he just epted it. I do believe that Pearl has a better understanding of the situation<b>, </b>though. Not sure if she haspleted the puzzle yet or if she will get surprised somehow tomorrow.” He answers.
We pack a few bags tost us a few days, but Darius will return with Preston to hand over anything that they can’t take care of <b>at </b>the moment. Daxton will help me out if I need to take over the Royal Beta position asap.
Darius gets behind the wheel of their SUV and after Preston has asked again why we have to <b>go </b>to the Pce without getting an answer, we drive away from the Pack–house.
I watch as the six–story Pack–house bes smaller in the rearview mirror, the light and dark gray colors blurring together the further away we get. I might not have been here long, but it has been the only real home I have known and now I get to call the Pce my home.
Children wave at us as we pass them and we wave back at them with a smile on our <b>faces</b>.
“Do you think they realize that this will be thest time they can consider us Pack–members?” <b>I </b>ask no one in particr.
“Kids always sense a change. Don’t ask me how, they just do.” Daxton answers<b>. </b>“I have <b>seen </b>it happen before and I have never been able to figure out how they knew.”
Darius slows down when we reach the gate and to my surprise Alpha Aaron is waiting <b>beside </b>his SUV with something in his hand
<b>Remain </b>Private
<b>“</b><b>Das</b><b>, </b><b>I </b><b>talked </b>to Darron’s Mom and she gave me this journal. She believes it belongs with the Royal family and might shed some light on Darron’s motives.” Alpha Aaron says as he holds out the journal to <b>me</b>.
I look at the journal’s cover and try to remember where I have seen it before<b>. </b>There are two symbols <b>on </b>the front. Both <b>of </b>them look familiar, but I can’t remember where I have seen them before
“On the ne,” Rebel <b>says</b><b>, </b>and I picture the pieces of the ne in my head. She is right<b>; </b>both symbols were on the pieces and are probably the reason Dy chose them.
The top symbol looks like three inteced ovals: two pointing down to the side, while the third is in the center, pointing up. A
that circle runs through the ovals, connecting them. I like that they chose a double line instead of a single line.
The other symbol also has a double line, but this looks more like two twines growing around one another. It is a circle with a square cross inside in a dark red color, while the other symbol is entirely ck.
I lean against Daxton to read Dy’s journal and hopefully understand more about one of <b>my </b>ancestors.
“Princess, we are almost at the Pce.” Daxton says, just as I have finished reading the journal.
Damn<b>, </b>she had a rough life and I don’t mean with her Brother hating her enough to give her that ne. No, I mean with her true Mate–bond and I believe I have found the answer to why Darron would risk everything.
Uncle Vaughn is waiting for us at the pce’s entrance<b>. </b>It doesn’t surprise me that he is the only one by the front door. He doesn’t want anyone to question why we areing back so soon and this is confirmed when I see that no Servants are walking around.
“What is that?” Uncle Vaughn asks as he points at the journal in my hand.
“This is Dy’s personal journal; she wrote every entry herself, unlike your journals. Darron’s Mom asked Alpha Aaron to give it to me and ensure it got to the Pce. It is a rather interesting read<b>.</b>” I answer him before handing the journal to him.
We follow Uncle Vaughn to the stairs in the middle of the lobby. The stairs lead up to the first floor and Uncle Vaughn turns to the right at the top. After a few feet, we reach a massive double door with three Warriors standing guard.
The doors open up to the wing that the Royal family upies; it is going to take time to find my way around here. I have only heard about this wing and no Elder has ever set foot in it. This is private and will always remain private.
