Quinlan’s p.o.v.
I was paying attention to the leadership when Mom was talking to Houston and only the Alpha looked uncomfortable, while the others looked grief-stricken.
“Dad, aren’t we missing someone?” I ask him and he has a smirk on his face when he looks at me.
“That is correct, Son. We are missing the Pack doctor. Can you ask him to get to your office, Alpha Chris?” Dad asks and if I hadn’t been watching Alpha Chris, I would have missed another slight chance in his demeanor.
We agreed that Dad needed to break any Alpha command given to Ruben, the Pack doctor. He is one of two people who send a report to the Palace, but he might be under a command since then. It would at least explain why no one else seemed to be uncomfortable with Houston’s answer.
“You asked for my presence, Alpha Chris.” Ruben says that after the Gamma has opened the door for him. His eyes widen slightly when he sees us sitting in the office and he gives Alpha Chris a disgusted look.
Dad breaks the Alpha command while he gestures to Ruben to take a seat.
“Ruben, can you explain to the rest of your leadership why we are here?” Dad asks, while leaning back in his
scat.
“Because our Alpha is responsible for the death of our Luna.” Ruben answers, never taking his eyes off Alpha Chris. “I am not the only one who knows, but the only one who received an Alpha command.”
You can imagine the surprise when we hear that Ruben wasn’t the only Pack-member who knew and now I want to know why no one else stepped forward.
“Alpha Chris and our former Alpha have always reigned with an iron fist. I do not fear Alpha Chris’s wrath, because he knows that someone will be alarmed if I miss our weekly call. No other Pack-member has that kind of safety net and didn’t need a command to keep quiet.” Ruben explains to Dad.
“Is there anyone missing from this Pack who could have had the guts to report the crime?” I ask because I want to know if anyone has noticed the absence of a certain Pack-member.
Most of them shake their head, while Ruben remains quiet for a few minutes. His head snaps toward Dad when it seems to make sense to him.
“You are talking about Licia. She left the territory the day after our Luna died, but I never understood why.” Ruben answers the question I asked.
“She left because she knew the truth and couldn’t bear to watch Alpha Chris acting like a grieving Mate or to see him announcing another as his Luna. Licia was Alyza’s Sister.” I respond and that causes an explosion of
curses to erupt.
Dallas asks through the mind-link why no one knew they were sisters, and I decide to ask the question out
loud.
“Omegas don’t get more than basic medical care. We don’t keep track of their pregnancies or whether the baby lived or died after birth. An Alpha command everyone in the infirmary received.” Ruben answers.
I know Dad was hesitant about a death sentence, but with this answer, Dad has no other choice.

“Alpha Chris, you allowed your connection to Alyza to grow into a bond and got her pregnant as soon as you could. Once you knew she was pregnant, you started to ignore her. After she gave birth to Houston, you didn’t wait for her Wolf to heal her and rejected her as you took Houston away from her.
I don’t have to explain to anyone that your neglect, birthing a Son and your rejection were too much for her and her Wolf to handle. You condemned her to death with your actions and you leave me no other choice.” Dad says.
He gets up while Daxton and Darius step behind him; they will protect whoever Alpha Chris might try to
harm.
“I, King Vaughn, the Royal Alpha and King of the Phaenian Kingdom, hereby sentence you, Alpha Chris of Onyx Forest Pack, to death.” Dad states.
Alpha Chris doesn’t respond in any way and we all keep looking at him, waiting for him to snap finally.
“Who is going to train Houston to take over? He is too young to become an Alpha.” No fighting, no screaming, just calm acceptance of the situation.
“How often have you fought with him on this?” Dallas asks as she sits down on the coffee table in front of Alpha Chris.
“Almost daily. I didn’t want to lose her, but my Human was more like his Father and he knew every trick to shut me up. After our meeting at the Palace, I knew it was a matter of time before you would come here.” He answers and it is clear now that his Wolf is in charge.
