The Forgotten Princess & her Beta Mates novel Chapter 49

Many Questions

Dallas‘ p.o.v.

I have no intention of telling them why I want to know all of this; I still have a few questions that I know Walker can’t answer.

“Who informed you about my Mother’s death, Beta Walker?” I ask, knowing that whatever answer he gives will be a lie.

“I believe that it was her Brother. I wasn’t really listening. All I could think about was how to explain to you that your Mom was gone.” He answers, but it all sounds too rehearsed to me.

He has given me all the information I need; now, all I have to do is make sense of it.

“Let’s go home. I am done here.” I say as I get up, quickly followed by both my Mates. Even Elder Jensen follows us out of the office, ignoring the questions from Alpha Leon.

“I have questions and I have answers. I will follow you to Silver Eclipse Pack.” Elder Jensen says through the mind -link.

I am glad that he doesn’t ask any of those questions now, that he might have a few answers for me. Perhaps together we can complete the picture, as I think I have placed a few pieces on the wrong side of the board.

We are almost at the SUVS when I sense her coming; I quickly sidestep to let her slam against the hood of the SUV. Her Wolf is close to the surface as Lucy turns to face me, but I am not impressed.

“Why do you always have to ruin everything? You took my Father from me, you took my Mate from me and now you have taken the Luna title from me.” Lucy growls, her voice interlaced with that of her Wolf.

“I didn’t do anything to you. Walker decided he wanted the Beta title more, so he chose his fated Mate over your Mother. I never took your Mate from you; you took my Mate from me and as for the Luna title, you get to thank Nico.” I retort.

“My Mate rejected me because of you. He told me that a Mate should be more like you, kind and friendly. He told me that he preferred a Mate who could defend herself and who was willing to train to better herself. He called me lazy, rude, obnoxious and arrogant, saying I should be more like you.” Lucy rambles.

I have no idea what she’s talking about; I grew up believing we were the same age. If her Mate lives within this territory, he never mentioned any of it to me and I look around me to see who it might have been.

“Every word I said is true, Lucy. You are the opposite of Dallas. I saw through you years ago and I would have never accepted you as my Mate. My Lycan and I can’t stand the sight of you.” I hear the familiar voice of Sebastian behind me.

His words piss Lucy off and with out thinking clearly she lunges for me, but Charna is fast enough to avoid her.

“Nico, get this Bitch away from me. If she tries to attack me again, I will let Charna deal with her.” I call out to him. At least Nico is smart enough to understand that I am not kidding and he rushes over to pull Lucy away from

1. me.

She is struggling against the hold he has on her; she is determined to attack me, to cause me bodily harm.

The moment she manages to break free from his hold, Charha pushes forward, no longer willing to be the sensible

one.

“Lucy, No.” Nico yells, but it is already too late. Lucy lunges towards me, shifting to Wolf form mid–air and the others form a circle around us. Protecting those who are just bystanders.

Many Questions

I shift into my Lycan form and I hear the gasps from my former Pack–members. No one ever saw me shift. I never told anyone about my Shifter half and now they get to see Charna.

Charna roars as the small, light–brown Wolf runs toward her. The Wolf’s steps falter for a second, but she does not back down.

“She is all yours, Charna.” I say as I settle in the back of her mind, watching how that puny Wolf keeps coming at Charna. Lucy’s Wolf is no match for Charna and instead of killing her, she injures her and tires her out.

Daxton is holding out a robe for me when Charna is done playing with Lucy’s Wolf and after shifting back to Human form, I wrap the robe around me before turning back to Lucy, who is still lying on the ground, unconscious.

“Make sure she stays away from me. If she ever attempts to attack me, she is dead.” I growl before I turn my back on her, walking straight into Darius‘ arms. Daxton steps behind me, boxing me between my Mates, the best place for me to be at the moment.

“Just let all that information run through your head. You are safe with us.” I hear Cyran say in my head. He understands me a little better than the rest of them; he recognizes that I have a lot to process.

I place my head against Darius‘ shoulder while I turn slightly towards Daxton, putting my legs on his lap and closing my eyes to review the information I received from Walker.

Memories flood my mind, childhood memories about Walker telling me stories at night. Memories of pulling that broken necklace from the trash, of turning the trashcan upside down to retrieve every single piece of the necklace.

I couldn’t remember what the necklace looked like, so getting it fixed was out of the question. Daxton’s voice as he tells me the story of Dyala, Darius‘ face when he realizes what he is looking at.

One puzzle piece after the other floods my mind, but I can’t get them to fit together. Is there even a puzzle to solve or is it all just a coincidence?

I hope that speaking with Elder Jensen and the others will enable me to put the pieces together and find answers to the questions I have.

How did my Mother know about Dyala? Is the family vault the vault I think it is? How did my Mother get it out of the family vault?

Settle Down

Dallas‘ p.o.v.

“Wake up, Little One.” I hear Darius say next to my ear. I slowly sit up, stretching myself as I settle between my Mates.

I see the Pack–house appear before me as we round the bend in the road, Jesper and Belinda waiting for us on the front porch. Jesper has the biggest smile on his face and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out why.

I congratulate both of them on the pregnancy before informing them that we will proceed directly to the Alpha floor for a meeting and that I would like both of them to be present.

“Let me warn the Omegas to have dinner delivered to the Alpha floor. It will make it easier to talk and we don’t have to worry about cooking ourselves.” Pearl says before making a beeline for the kitchen.

Elder Jensen follows us up the stairs while talking to Jesper it sounds like Jesper’s Father is up to his usual tricks. Still hoping to force Jesper into accepting a chosen Mate, but that will never happen.
