Das‘ p.o.v.


    Quin looks miserable as he watches his Mate break down in Caitlin’s arms. Aunt Eliza exined their rtionship and her Father is lucky to be in Silent Grover territory; otherwise, I would have doubled back


    to let Charna toy with him.


    “Who is that and why is she so friendly with a Servant?” Elder Dawn asks. I don’t understand why that


    woman is still around, but mark my words; it won’t take too long.


    Quin growls at her as she looks at Larissa with disgust in her eyes. He is newly mated and not in the mood for a disrespectful Elder.


    “Elder Dawn, may I point out that you are on probation and in no position to question anything that goes on around here.” I respond without answering her questions.


    I want to say more, but an angry growl from Uncle Vaughn has me shifting my attention elsewhere. Oh,


    holy fuck. Who let the bitch stay at the Pce?


    We watch as Tammy walks toward us in a dress that looks somewhat familiar, but at the moment, I can’t


    ce it. My eyes widen when I remember where I have seen it before, this dress belongs to Aunt Eliza


    and she had the fucking guts to wear it.


    “Who the fuck let you into my room?” Aunt Eliza growls while she gets held back by Darius. Daxton is


    busy trying to calm Uncle Vaughn down.


    “I thought that Quin would like to see what his future Queen looks like. As my future Mother inw, I


    didn’t think you would mind.” Tammy says as she keeps walking toward Quin.


    Everett steps in front of Quin with my Brothers and I see three Guardians step behind Tammy. She


    can’t get anywhere near Quin and I walk toward her to give her a piece of my mind.


    “Tammy, you will never disrespect this family again. We were lenient when we banished you to Silent


    Glover Pack for life. Now, we have no other choice but to put you to death. Throw her in the dungeons as


    far away from her Father as possible.” I say.


    “Be careful with my dress. No, disregard that. I don’t ever want to see it again.” Aunt Eliza growls before Tammy gets dragged down to the dungeons.


    I turn around to see that Quin and Larissa are no longer outside and I smile at Elder Via, who has


    a murderous look in her eyes. If looks could kill, we could forgo Elder Dawn’s trial.


    “Elder Via, I would like a rundown of the events that took ce during our absence. Starting with Tammy. Why wasn’t she sent to Silent Glover Pack as instructed?” I ask her as I guide her into the Pce.


    We walk to our private wing because I don’t want anyone to disturb us. I see Caitlin sitting awkwardly in


    Her Side


    the living room with Quin and Larissa; she doesn’t feel at ease sitting around.


    “Caitlin, you are getting a promotion.” I say as I walk into the living room. “You will be known as Larissa’s Mother from this day forward. You have been the basis for the young woman our future Queen has


    be.”


    She starts shaking her head, but Larissa is quick to make her stop.


    “You cared for me when my own Mother cast me aside. You tried to protect me when my family wouldn’t. If anyone were to ask me to think of a word to associate with the word ‘Mother,‘ I would tell them your name. You are my Mother in every sense of the word.” Larissa says.


    “I don’t care what your rank is, Caitlin. You are important to my Mate and, therefore, important to me. If you are afraid of getting bored without a job, then you can help Mom run our household and keep track of the Servants.” Quin says.


    I think it would be a great idea if Caitlin helped out; she doesn’t have to leave the Pce for Pack visits.


    Elder Via and I walk to my office, while we let the others deal with Caitlin and her new position within our family.


    “I didn’t know that Tammy was still on Pce ground. I watched the SUV leave that she was supposed to be in, but if I am being honest, I didn’t see her getting in.” Elder Via answers my earlier question.


    We talk about anything else I need to know that happened during our absence, but she saves the best forst.


    “We have three Servants who aren’t who they im to be. First of all, they aren’t Omegas or Sigmas. Second, they are siblings and third, they are Alpha Daughters.” Elder Via says.


    “Good thing that we still have to deal with the former Servants, they can join them. Let’s hope that Silent Grover Pack can deal with so many new Pack–members.” I respond.


    She hands me a file with all the evidence they gathered against the three Sisters. I notice that she didn’t do this on her own, so I ask her about her little helper.


    “A Sigma from a small Pack about three hours from here, her parents died when she was a young teen. Her Alpha helped her in any way he could and when this came up, he helped her to send in her application.” She answers.


    “I would like to meet her. Aunt Eliza wants me to have at least one Servant and I would prefer to pick them myself.” I tell Elder Via and we agree on a meeting in the morning.


    Once our meeting is done, I walk back to the living room and Elder Via goes back to her room to get ready for dinner.


    I hear Larissa exin to Caitlin how she can listen to what others say, even if their backs are turned to


    Her Side


    her and she introduces her to Majandra and the others.


    “Thank you for caring for our future Queen, Ma’am.” Majandra says and Caitlin is left speechless by the praise. It isn’t every day that an Omega gets apliment from a high–ranking Shifter.


    “They will always be around and so are Larissa’s shadows. If anything happens, you can call out to them and they will deal with the situation. You make sure that you get Larissa to safety and others will worry


    about the rest.” I tell Caitlin.


    We exin to her how the shadows work, and I even make sure they get introduced. She must know who is on her side and who might not be.
