The Forgotten Princess & her Beta Mates novel Chapter 121

Drastic Change

Dallas‘ p.o.v.

Larissa will make an excellent Queen; she is already thinking about the big picture and trying to keep an Alpha bloodline intact.

We listen as Uncle Vaughn is making the phone call and as he expected, Nolan’s Alpha isn’t too happy with losing his Beta. However, he understands the urgency of the situation and gives Uncle Vaughn his word to help in any way he can.

“Ruben, do you know why Chris never took a chosen Mate?” I ask him after Uncle Vaughn has ended his phone call.

“Most Packs in the area know how Chris and his Father treat their Pack–members and no one was willing to put their Daughters in the middle of it.” Ruben answers.

I sent a text to Elder Jensen to find out the connection between Onyx Forest Pack and Elder Dawn, because something tells me that many complaints have gone missing over the years. We need to determine if more Elders have overlooked or ignored complaints.

“Uncle Vaughn, I believe we have more to deal with than we thought. I want to investigate every electronic device the Elders had access to.” I tell him through the mind–link.

“I came to the same conclusion. I want Darius and Daxton to look into it; your workload is heavy enough for the time being.” Uncle Vaughn responds.

I can feel the excitement through our Mate–bond and I know that my Mates will do their damndest to get to the bottom of this.

“We will ask Everett for some help. He might like the challenge.” Daxton states. He is right, Everett is a geek and loves everything that has to do with electronics.

“Your Majesty, your guests have arrived.” An Omega says from the doorway. Uncle Vaughn had refused to close the door and instructed them to knock and walk in if they needed anything.

We watch as Beta Nolan walks in with Licia, who is heavily pregnant. Her eyes roam across the room and

she relaxes a little when she doesn’t see Chris.

Uncle Vaughn fills them in on everything we have uncovered and Beta Nolan informs us that he was the

one who sent the other complaint.

“Licia only told me because of the nightmares she had. I wanted to make sure that Chris would pay

what he did and for Licia to have a relationship with her Nephew.” Nolan says.

“At the moment, Arald is in control. He has managed to wear down his Human half and is currently with Houston.” Uncle Vaughn says.

Licia looks shocked when she hears that Arald has accepted the punishment, but it will get worse when Uncle Vaughn explains the rest to her.

“Houston is the rightful heir to Onyx Forest Pack, but at seven years old, he can’t take over the position. 1 have spoken with your Alpha and he understands that this is the best solution.” Uncle Vaughn states * Nolan, are you willing to run Onyx Forest Pack until Houston is ready to take over?”

Nolan and Licia are staring at Uncle Vaughn for a moment before turning toward one another.

We give them as much time as they need. This isn’t an easy choice to make and Licia might not want to

move back to the territory after everything she has witnessed.

My Mates talk to the current Beta to find out how the Pack is doing financially, while Quinlan is interrogating the Gamma on border patrol and the lack of security at the gate.

“Chris didn’t want our Pack–members to get decent paychecks. He cut back on patrols even more than his Father had done and refused to make upgrades in cameras and other supplies to improve security.” Is the

answer Quinlan gets.

“Licia, we understand that this is a difficult decision to make. Why don’t you take the evening to discuss it with Nolan and give us an answer in the morning?” Uncle Vaughn asks.

They have their dinner in their room, while the rest of us have dinner in the dining room and once again, we are witnessing the treatment of low–ranking Pack–members versus high–ranking Pack–members.

We turn in for the night and hopefully, Licia will have an answer for us in the morning.

For once, I don’t wake up in a tangle with my Mates. Both of them are sitting in armchairs near the window and I listen as they softly whisper about the task Uncle Vaughn handed to them.

“We need to include all the Elders; we can’t play favoritism with any of them. Just because they are behaving at the moment, doesn’t mean they behaved in the past.” I hear Darius say to Daxton.

I get out of bed to take a shower, but walk by my Mates for a good morning kiss. Daxton’s hair is still wet from his shower and I remind myself to bring the brush with me after I have finished with my shower.
