Teasingly Teasingly
Dallas’ p.o.v.
I allow everyone to deal with the answers Princess Dezra has given; they will explode in a while anyway.
The Elders manage to stay a lot calmer than the Royal family, but then again, it doesn’t concern their family. King Vaughn looks at me with his Lycan close to the surface and wonder if he is starting to connect the dots.
“Princess Dezra, I want you to move your seat over here and suggest that Prince Darron do the same. I don’t want anyone to die before the entire truth is revealed.” I say as I point at the spot where I want her to sit.
Luckily, Princess Dezra isn’t a fool and does as I suggest. Four Squad members move to stand behind them to protect them if necessary.
“You already confirmed that Prince Darron didn’t father your first child. Can you tell us who the Father was?” I ask her. I know it is a question her family wants an answer to, but I doubt they will like the rest of my questions.
“Beta Walker of Shadow Valley Pack.” She answers with a growl, trying her damndest to keep from answering my question.
“Is he the reason you didn’t attend the test trial? Were you afraid he would recognize you and reveal the truth?” King Vaughn asks. He has at least connected that dot pretty quickly, but I doubt he will see the rest coming.
I take the time to look at the Royal family and I have felt the pull toward them get stronger. None of them has given an indication that they feel it, too, but it could be that they are pushing it to the back of their minds to concentrate on my questions and Princess Dezra’s answers
“Yes to both questions.” Princess Dezra finally answers him. She doesn’t elaborate on anything in her answers and I don’t need her to, because I want to ask all my questions.
“Did you have anyone contact Beta Walker to inform him of your death?” I ask. I have felt that something was off ever since Walker told me that my Uncle had called him to inform him of my Mother’s death.
King Vaughn is staring at Princess Dezra, anger visible in his eyes. Her children have been showing mixed emotions, from anger to confusion and anything else that comes to mind.
“No, I did not. I had no reason to.” She answers and I have another question popping into my mind, but it is a question she won’t be able to answer.
“Who did the rejecting and why?” I ask. This question is more for myself than anything else. I need closure of some sort and without answers, I will never get that.
“I rejected him. He didn’t give me what I needed, so I decided to find it elsewhere.” Princess Dezra answers. I noticed it took her a few minutes to answer me and I think she found a loophole in King Vaughn’s order.
If she gives an answer that resembles the truth, the order will not affect her at all. I have to remember that for the future and my future questions.

“Why did you take Princess Dyala’s necklace from the vault?” I ask. She can’t answer that question without revealing some of the truth or letting her family know she lied even more.
She is shaking her head profusely and is unwilling to answer my question. She would rather face the consequences of fighting King Vaughn’s order than reveal the truth.
“Don’t worry, I can answer that question myself. You took it to ensure that there would be a bigger chance of Dave getting a position in the future leadership. Even though there was no way you could have known if you would ever have a Son.
There was something that you didn’t count on and couldn’t have known. Beta Walker had a child before you met him, but he never mentioned it to anyone because she was a girl and, like you, he wanted boys.” I tell her.
I look at Pablo to start the footage from the trial and Princess Dezra looks disgusted as she sees how Lucy breaks the necklace. The Royal family should have done this ages ago to prevent someone from doing what Princess Dezra tried to do.
“You understand that it means that whatever you wanted to do failed.” King Vaughn says as he looks at Princess
Dezra.
“You are right, Your Majesty. She did fail, but do you realize that it means she lied to you?” I ask him and for a moment, the room is quiet. King Vaughn slowly turns his head in my direction, his eyes wide open as if he has finally woken up,
