3/3 Chapter 61 Anyway Unknown's p.o.v.
I slowly open my eyes as I feel my head pounding, someone must have injectedwith a sedative and I wonder how long ago the Alpha tossedinto his dungeons. I will ask a Warrior the moment one shows up, they will show up just before or after the shift change and then I will be able to tell how long they are holdingbefore the trial starts. It was something my Father taughtas a young Pup, I had found out that the shifts in the dungeons were irregular and had made no sense to me.
Father explained that is was to throw the prisoner off, to make them miscalculate their tdown in the dungeons and he toldthat they would always think they were in the dungeons longer or shorter than they really were. He would shorten or lengthen a shift to confuse them and in the end they would find out that thad passed normally. I never met another Alpha that did the sthing my Father did and Mike didn't take this habit from our Father after he took over I hear a door open somewhere down the hall and I wait patiently to see how many Warriors the Alpha placed down here to guard me. I can hear them coming closer by the sound of their footsteps, but they are not talking to one another and I wonder if this Pack has a different way of stressing out their prisoners. My jaw drops the moment I am faced with the Warriors that stop I front of my cell, I am at the fucking Palace.
"What tis it?" I ask but neither one of them says a word, one of them writes something on a notepad before they walk away and I try to remember if I ever saw a blue print of the Palace. I want to know if they will cback passed my cell on their way back or that they will be able to make a round through the dungeons without passing my cell again, but I can't recall ever seeing a blue print of the Palace and that means I have no idea how their rounds are conducted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Were you able to get anything while I was out?" I ask my Wolf but I don't get a response from him and that is when I notice that I can no longer feel his presence, forcingto take a closer look at my surroundings. "Fuck, the bars are silver laced with Wolfsbane. “I think to myself and I slowly get up from the bunkbed I am lying on, I try to look at the other cells aroundbut I can't get close enough to the bars to take a peek down the corridor. With nothing else to do I let my mind wander back to the day my Father toldabout Juliette, she was my ticket to becoming an Alpha and she was a pretty female to look at. I learned that Juliette had abilities and that she was the heir to Moon Stone Pack, but her Father didn't believe a female would be strong enough to lead a Pack. He wanted to make sure that she was raised the way he wanted and that no one would know that she was the rightful heir to his Pack.
Juliette grew up in Crystal Cove Pack, far away from Moon Stone Pack and I had seen her a few times over the years. Her Uncle was the Alpha of Crystal Cove Pack and her Mother was his younger Sister, making Juliette a full blooded Alpha. I even met her once while I was visiting their Pack, but Juliette made it clear she was not interested inor a chosen Mate and I knew when her Father made his proposition I would have to forcefully mark her.
My Father didn't realize that that was her Father's intent and I didn't enlighten him about that fact, he would never agree to it. He might have been an Asshole but he would never participate in a forceful marking and when Juliette's Father made it clear on the eve of her eighteenth birthday my Father flat out refused the proposition. Looking back probably the best choice he could have made, because it saved us both in the end.
A few hours later two other Warriors walk up to my cell and again I ask the squestion but like before 1 get no answer, they walk away without speaking a word to me. The day passes by withthinking about where I went wrong, but I can't find an answer to that question and I believe I will get that answer at my trial. I did discover one thin thou and that is that at the Palace the Warriors work in three shifts, making it 1/3 even more difficult forto keep track of time.
Zalia Deimos turns towards us after everyone has taken a seat. "Why is it that Luna Hester taught you that Axelle holds the power but doesn't recognize it herself?" He asks and I understand he isn't just talking about Luna Hester, he wants to know why no one remembers that Axelle is our Royal that holds the powers. "I think Luna Hester already answered your question, Deimos. Most Alphas don't believe a female is capable of leading a Pack, let alone leading a Kingdom.” I answer him.
"I have shown this Pack that I am the best Gamma they could ask for Still their future Alpha with: of our Pack-members believed that a female had no right to that position. I always thought that Alpha Brad was different from most Alphas, but hearing Luna Hester talk I believe he only made it look like that to the outside world and I think she is very aware of her Mate's thoughts on females in a High- ranking position." I tell him as I wrap my arms around his waist I lean with my head against his chest as I inhale his scent and I just enjoy the silence for a little while, but I know we have a job to do. Axelle wants us to catalog everything they found in the hidden spaces on the Alpha floor and as I think about that I realize why we sometimes had trouble contacting Alpha Brad, why it would sometimes take a while before we were able to find him. "Liam, why don't you tell us what we have to do? I would like to get sanswers." I tell him.
Liam gestures us to follow him and I am a little confused when he walks to the other side of the Alpha floor, even Dad is looking a bit confused as we walk down the hallway. Two Warriors step to the other side when we approach and I look into the room to see nothing wrong with it, but Leander makes a few pictures of the bookshelves in the room. Deimos places his hand inside one of the bookshelves and as he steps back the bookshelf starts moving, revealing a small table and sshelves with a stack of files on it.
Liam turns towards Nyx and asks her to get the files, to go through each of them with the rest of my team. Deimos opens the next bookshelf to reveal a lot of journals and after that he opens the last bookshelf, “Benjamin and I will go through the journals, while you and Deimos go through the files in there and I want Leander to take pictures of everything. After you are done with a file or a journal I want you to write down your findings.” Liam says before he grabs a few journals.
Deimos and I grab a stack of files and sit down on the floor next to the bed with our backs against the wall. The first file I open is the family file on Juliette and I find out who her Mother and Uncle were, she cfrom an Alpha bloodline. She was a smart Pup and went through school faster than anyone else her age. graduating at the age of fifteen. She was an only child for the first four years of her life and then her baby Brother was born, but there is nothing on him in the family file I am holding.
I read through the file again to find out where he went or what his nwas, but I can't find any other mention of him in the family file and if I had to take a guess I would say he either died at birth or shorty after. I still haven't found a mention of Juliette's Father and I wonder if the lack of information on both males might be connected in sway, if Juliette's Father might have resented his Mate for giving him a Daughter first.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI write down my findings and stick the note to the top of the file before grabbing a new one, reading about her Mother 1-find out that she found her fated Mate. Her Brother didn't trust her Mate and refused to let her go without her protection detail, like my Mother's bloodline this Pack also had gifted females born. into the Alpha bloodline. I read through the file but I can't find out her abilities or those of Juliette and I think they kept it hidden on purpose.
I place the file on the floor with my findings attached to it and I grab my third file to read through, it is a detailed report from their protection detail. Just a summary of how they spent their day and I quickly realize that each day is the sfor Juliette and her Mother, not much happened in their lives. They got 2/3 Chapter 61 Anyway up, had breakfast, stayed in the Pack-house, had lunch, stayed in the Pack-house or on rare occasions went shopping, had dinner, would retreat to the Alpha floor and finally go to sleep.
After reading three more files like that I start skimming through the rest of the files on my stack, each file the sas the last one and I really hope that I will find a more interesting file to read in my next stack of files. I grab the first file from my new stack and I softly growl when I see it is another report from their protection detail, "Bored with reading those reports?" Deimos asks and without thinking twice I slam the file into his face.
"Yeah, they had a very dull life. I would have gone bananas if this had been my life, I don't think they chose to live this way willingly." I tell him as I I force myself to continue reading these boring reports and I place all of them on a separate stack, because I would be to safe someone else from having to read this. I quickly realize that the files with reports hold a month's worth of information and it makes it easier to deal with the files, going through them faster without risking to overlook information.
We take a break to have slunch and Kianda made sure it was delivered to the Alpha floor, as we sit down for lunch I realize that I hadn't homes the room w seen the Omegas pass the room we were in. Task the Warriors if they had seen the Omegas, but the wrong ones answer my question and I look around the table to see if anyone realizes what I already figured out. Once it is clear that no one else figured it out I turn to Dad, "Why didn't they use the Omega stairwell to get to the Alpha floor?" I ask.
Everyone just stares atas I try to find an answer, “Alpha Brad couldn't risk anyone finding out what he hid in that room, he probably ordered them to never use those stairs. Otherwise someone would have let it slip that he spent tin there, you know they could never keep this to themselves." Twilight points out and I know that she is correct. None of the Omegas would have gone to Luna Hester or another High-rank within our Pack, but they would have talked about it amongst themselves and then anyone could have overheard them. When I tell them what Twilight cup with they all nod their heads and Dad tellshe will ask one of the Omegas about it, not that either one of us is expecting an honest answer. Alpha Brad probably gave them an or using his Beta bloodline, but with Dad being of Alpha blood he might be able to get an answer from them anyway.
