3/3 Chapter 60 Staring Liam "Benjamin, is there somewhere that we can talk?" I ask him as we follow the others out of the office, I know I won't have a lot of tand I need to ask Benjamin a few questions. He tellsto follow him to the Gamma floor, after we enter the Gamma floor he locks he door behind us and walks into the kitchen to make us scoffee. "Zalia is the Daughter of an Alpha blooded male and an Alpha blooded female, I don't know much about my Mate's family and I doubt will ever find the whole truth.
What I do know is that her Father wanted her to take Recco of Sundown Pack as her chosen Mate and her Father wasn't against a forceful marking. June had the gift of hearing and made a run for the Palace to tell the Royal Family, from what she toldher Father got stripped of his title. I don't know which Pack she cfrom or what happened to the Pack after her Father was stripped of his title." Benjamin tellswithoutasking him a single question.
Zalia is twenty six years old and her Parents moved to Moon Stone Pack after meeting one another, I think to myself. So if I add a few years to Zalia's age, because am not sure if June got pregnant immediately. It could have been thirty years or longer since June's Father got stripped of his title, but I can't remember an Alpha being on trial around that tand I try to recall any cases involving a forceful marking as I sip my coffee.
Benjamin, do you remember if June ever mentioned how long it took before she cto Silver Sand Pack?" I ask him, because I do remember a case like this but that was over thirty seven years ago. Benjamin is deep in thought and I get up to pour us another coffee to keep myself busy, while I let him think to see if he can remember anything June told him. I can't remember a female named June coming to the Palace, nor can I remember a case from thirty years ago.
I keep coming back to the scase, but I can't recall the details and I know that I will have to take a look in the Palace Archive to find the file. That file will giveany answer I can't find myself and just as I am about to tell Benjamin to forget about my question for while I feel someone pushing against the block I put up on the mind- link, "Liam, I want you to cto the Alpha office and take Benjamin and Leander with you. I hear Axelle say the moment I drop the block.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Axelle wants to see us in the Alpha office, I think it has finally sunk in that Alwin made to many mistakes over the years." I say as I get up and as we reach the office Leander is already waiting for us. "Any idea what this is about, Liam?" He asks, but I think that Leander knows better than anyone else what this might be about and I have this feeling that this is the day he has been waiting for. We all walk into the office and sit down to listen to Axelle.
I am quiet for a while and I know that the moment I open my mouth that Axelle will understand that she is losing her Gamma, "Axelle, I have put up with enough of Alwin's crap over the years and I know you are unaware of sof the things he did or said. There is no use in bringing that up, but I do advice you to finally take your Mother's advice and that is taking Alwin's powers away-from him. All he ever cared about was himself and he never thought about the consequences of his actions, there was always someone to clean up his mess.
I will resign from my position as Royal Gamma, but I will help you to find a good replacement and train him or her on the job." I says and I know that Axelle is grateful that I am at least willing to help her with finding and training my replacement. “I have a request hou, I would like Zalia to help me, Deimos and Leander to catalog everything from the hidden spaces on the Alpha floor." I say and I can tell that Zalia and Benjamin are wondering what spaces I am talking about.
"Liam, you are still my Gamma and you are capable to make that decision for yourself. I do appreciate you asking for permission and I will grant it to you, maybe Benjamin would like to help out as well. The faster 1/3 we get through everything the better and I want you to take care of the Alpha office as well, because I think Zalia will find a lot of answers." Axelle says before she asks us to start with the Alpha floor while she deals with her Son and the others.
Donovan My head is hurting and I slowly open my eyes but I shouldn't have bothered, it doesn't matter whether my eyes are open or closed it remains dark. It is eerily quiet aroundand I can tell that I am in the dungeons, the smell around here gives that away. I wonder which Idiot thought that they could throwin a cell, but there is no one around that can answer the question forand I decide to figure out if I can find out how I ended up in this cell. My mind is a mess and it takesa few moments before I can make sense of it. It started at the last day of the competition, I had looked at the screen in surprise because the more they said the more stunning it became. Every leadership was taken out, but to my surprise I found out that Zalia wasn't taken out that first night and I becpissed when they revealed that Zalia tookand Gibson out. What the Fuck was she thinking, shouting her own leadership.
She even managed to solve the extra challenge and she gathered every reward that was hidden at the Palace, along with a few extra items. That is when things really turned weird, she had gotten pissed when an Alpha asked how the King would determine the winner now and I still remember that her aura felt so much stronger than Father's aura. A sound pullsform my thoughts and I slowly sit up on the thin mattress I am lying on.
Two guards walk past my cell but neither one says a word, they just look atwith disgust in their eyes and I just assthat they know why I am locked in the cell. "Where am I?" I ask but they don't answerand after a short while they walk away from my cell leavingin the dark with only my thoughts as my companion. It tookonly a moment when I woke to realize that I couldn't reach Ace and I try remember what happened.
I remember walking towards Zalia's room with Dad, I walked towards her bed to administer the sedative and then it becomes foggy. I close my eyes to try and remember what happened after I was about to give her that shot, but the only thing I can see is an unknown face. I am very sure that I am no longer in my own territory and if I am here than so is my Father, there is no doubt in my mind that they caught us both. I just wonder how they found out what we were up to.
With nothing else to do here in the dark by myself I let my mind wonder back to the conversation I had with my Father, as a young Pup I had never doubted who and what my Father was and it wasn't until the first meeting I went to that I realized that something was off with him. I started to watch him more closely after that but I was unable to figure out what was wrong and if he hadn't toldeverything the other night I doubt I would have been able to figure it out on my own.
I also found out that Dad showed the world a male that upheld the Law, but that he never agreed with most of our Laws and if he could he would bend them in his favor. He never would have denied Zalia her birthright as our Gamma, it is a Law he couldn't bend in his favor and with everything I know right now it might have been best if I had just accepted the fact that I would have a female Gamma. It would have meant that I would still becthe Alpha of Moon Stone Pack.
My problem with having a female Gamma would have resolved itself with Zalia being mated to the future Royal Gamma and I could have gotten myself a male Camma after she had left. Yeah, I know. Talking in hindsight is always a hell of a lot easier, but it would have saveda lot of trouble.
Zalia We walk out of the office and Liam asksto link the girls, "We are going to need all the help we can get Chapter 60 Staring and they already know a lot about the things you found Liam says and I hope we will find answers to sof the questions I have. All four of the girls walk out of the living room and they follow us up to the Alpha floor, to be stopped by Elinor and Luna Hester on the landing of the Beta floor. "I want to see my Mate." Luna Hester demands as she looks at Liam.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You will have to take that up with Queen Axelle, she will determine if you get to see him before the trial or at the trial. I also suggest you get both of them a damn good lawyer, even though I doubt anyone can get them out of the jam they have gotten themselves into." Liam answers before he allows the rest of us to pass him, Deimos has his arm around my waist as he guidesup the stares and Leander is on my other side.
"Where are you taking her?" Luna Hester asks. “This Pack belongs to us and she has no right to be on the Alpha floor. I demand you send her to the Palace, she no longer belongs here." I look over my shoulder to see Liam turning his attention to Luna Hester, “Zalia has permission from our Queen to helpwith the investigation into your Mate, if you have a problem with that I suggest you take that up with the Queen as well." Liam tells her.
"What does the Queen have to do with this? Like every Luna she is just a pretty face that sits next to the King." Luna Hester says and we all turn around to look at the woman' opce considered a pretty smart Luna, "I think you have forgotten something, Luna Hester." I say as I take one step down. "Queen Axelle is our ruler, she holds all the power and whatever she says goes. You were the one that told us in class that King Alwin didn't hold any real power and that basically he was the Queen's puppet."
She looks atfor a moment and I know she is going to dig herself a nice deep grave, "There is not an om Alpha around that will listen to a female, they will never do as she says and they will go against everything she will try to establish through Laws. We are only a means to an end for an Alpha, to make sure they get their heir and to warm their bed. If Queen Axelle thinks she can run this Kingdom she is sourly mistaken, because every Alpha will stand against her." Luna Hester says.
I just shake my head before I turn around and proceed to walk up the stairs, this woman has really lost her mind. Deimos is right by my side, but I can tell that something is bothering him and will ask him about it the moment we are on the Alpha floor behind closed doors. The Warriors at the door step aside the moment we walk onto the landing and I open the door to the Alpha floor, walking straight into the living room. It only takes a few moments for the door to close again and as I turn around Liam is the last one to walk into the living room. "Deimos, what is on your mind?" I ask him and everyone turns their attention to Deimos. He walks over to the window and just stands there for a moment, staring out over the territory.
