Ace POV

As soon as we reach the office, I pull Olivia into my arms. I can feel her anger flowing through our bond. “How

dare that little b**ch” she growls. “I’m angry too, my love, but we need to be calm when we meet with the girls. I’ve already linked their fathers to join us.” “How could they hurt someone that is clearly weaker than them? What the hell is wrong with these girls, especially after we just addressed the whole pack,” she asks.

“I don’t know Olivia, but I do know they will be punished. I meant what I said in the dining room. I don’t care if they are the daughters of council members. That makes all of this worse as far as I’m concerned.” “I agree. They should be setting examples, not bullying other pack members,” she says. I begrudgingly release Olivia from my hold when the phone on my desk rings.

If the call made it to my desk it has to be important. “Hello King Ace, it’s King Alfonso. Do you have a moment to talk,” he asks. “I do have a few minutes before I have to meet with some pack members, and please drop the title. Let’s save that for the official ceremonies.”

He chuckles before he speaks again. “Excellent, I’m reaching out on behalf of my son,” he says, and I press the speaker button on my phone, so Olivia can hear the conversation. “What can I help you with Alfonso?” “M

y son was hoping you would allow him to stay in the royal pack to train with your warriors” he says. Olivia’s face lights up and I roll my eyes. “I’m honestly shocked, Alfonso. I know your warriors are quite skilled. I

never expected he would ask to train here.”

Olivia glares at me and I raise my hands in surrender. “We would, of course, love to have your son stay in the royal pack and train with our elite warriors. Hell, maybe he can even teach some of my men new techniques.” “He also wanted me to extend an invitation to any of your warriors that might want to join our training,” he says. “We appreciate that offer, Alfonso. I will speak to my warriors and let you know if any are interested. When will Valor be arriving?”

“Honestly, he is very excited to get started. He will probably leave shortly and be there sometime this evening if that’s alright with you,” he says. Olivia is practically dancing with glee across from my desk. I can’t stop myself from rolling my eyes again. “That will be fine, Alfonso. I will make sure that we have accommodations for him.” “Thank you, Ace. I really appreciate your willingness to allow my son to spend time in your pack. I look forward to meeting any of your warriors that join us” he says before cutting the call.

“Della is going to freak. Do you think he is really going to be her mate,” Olivia asks. I groan but before I can

answer her, there is a knock on the office door. We take our places behind the desk and I call out for them to enter. Elias and Joshua step inside, followed by their daughters. Madison has the good sense to look apologetic, but Lisa is either oblivious or really believes she is untouchable.

“My king,” the two men say in unison before they bow to Olivia. “Please have a seat. We are waiting for Della and Madelena to arrive before we begin the discussion.” Something crosses Lisa features, but it is gone as quickly as it came. A few seconds later Della and Madelena step into the office. Olivia rushes to offer Madelena a chair. A large bandage covers her hand. I watch as Lisa looks disgusted by my mate’s actions.

“Do you have something to say, Lisa,” I ask, startling her. “No, my king” she says. “It seems that you aren’t very good at hiding your emotions. Do you have a problem with the queen helping an injured pack member?” “Lisa” Elias says in warning. “No, let her answer honestly, Elias.” “I just don’t think a queen should be waiting on a

wolfless omega,” she says. “So you think that you are better than Madelena?

I can see Elias swallow, but he doesn’t dare fink his daughter in front of me. Of course, I am. My father is a council member I am bound to be someone’s Luns someday. She will always be a wolfless omega‘ she says Della growls from where she is standing behind Madelena chair. I believe my daughter doesn’t agree. What do you think, Della?” “I think the pack was warned what would happen if they disrespected any other pack member, regardless of who their dad was. I also hope that no pack is subjected to a Luna like you, she says.

“I do recall saying that, actually. So I’m going to cut to the chase. I was made aware that Lisa encouraged both girls to hurt Della and Madelena” Lisa goes to open her mouth but Ryker growls and fear flashes in her eyes. “You don’t interrupt me when I’m speaking. Now my understanding is that Myra refused to get involved but, unfortunately, Madison followed Lisa’s orders.” Joshua looks at his daughter, disappointment clearly

written on his face.

“What did you do,” he asks Madison. “Lisa went to the training field to teach Della a lesson and told me to teach Maddy one. She told me to threaten her so she wouldn’t tell after I put her in her place, Madison says “How could you do such a thing? We have raised you better than that,” Joshua says before he turns to me “We will accept whatever punishment you see fit my king and I would like to apologize to Maddy on my daughter’s behalf,” he says.

“My daughter may have told her to put the omega in her place, my king, but she didn’t force her. How can she be held accountable for Madison’s actions,” Elias asks, bringing my attention to him. “Did you miss the part where she went to the training field to harm my daughter? Had she not had her a** handed to her, we would have had a very different conversation. I believe both you and your daughter might need a lesson in taking responsibility for your actions. Her behavior right now is a result of what you deem acceptable.”

“My king” he starts to say, but I cut him off. “Madison has apologized and I truly believe she means it but that doesn’t negate that she must be punished. Your daughter doesn’t seem a bit sorry and she also will be punished. “My king, she is still a child” Elias pleads. “She is seventeen and should be well aware of what is right and wrong. Madison both Maddy and Della have asked for leniency for you. Therefore, you will be stripped of your rank for one month and will report to the kitchen every morning by six.”

Tears stream down Madison’s face. She rushes over and hugs both the girls before she thanks me. “Lisa, since you show no sign of remorse for your actions, you will be stripped of your title for two months. You will report to the laundry every morning at six. If I get a report of you causing trouble, you will be put in the cells and, depending on the severity, you will be banished. I will not tolerate abuse of any kind in my pack.”

Lisa looks at her father for help, but he stares at me, knowing there is nothing he can do. “I hope for your sake that during this time no one treats you as you have treated Maddy. You are all dismissed.” Once everyone is gone, Olivia plops down in my lap. “Seeing you be all kingly is super hot. After you make the call, I think we should lock the door. “You really think this is a good idea.” “I do, my king,” she whispers in my ear. I

grab the phone and dial quickly.

Ronan POV

“So tell me exactly what you felt and said,” Reagan says. “Reagan, I’ve said it three times. Nothing is goi change if I repeat it.” “So you feel drawn to her, but you didn’t scent her as your mate. Silas also feels the need to be close to her, but there was no tingles when you touched her skin. I’ve never heard of that happening before. Mates can always identify each other. Even if she is not of age, you would be able to sense her,” he

says.

Phone Calls

Nothing he is telling me is helpful. It’s only been a few days since the ceremony and the need to go back to the castle is driving me crazy. “I can look in the library your father kept, but he was so focused on power

doubt there is anything that can help us with questions about mates” he says. “Right now I’m more concerned about how I get to see her again. I know she won’t have her wolf until she turns eighteen but Silas is driving me crazy about seeing her again now.”

“Are you sure it’s just Silas,” he asks with a smirk on his face. I growl just as a knock sounds on the office door. “Come in,” Reagan calls out. Melanie steps into the room, offering me a shy smile before she looks at her father. “What do you need, Melanie,” he asks, irritation clearly in his voice. “I was just wondering if you

would be training with Ronan today. I wanted to join you,” she says,

He throws his head back and laughs. “Daddy, why are you laughing,” she whines. Looking at her now, she is still a beautiful she–wolf but she has nothing on Della. “I’m laughing because you have never trained a day in your life. I was more than willing to pass you my title, but you refused to train. So why now, all of a sudden, are you so interested,” he asks.

“Daddy, why are you trying to embarrass me,” she whines again. I never realized how annoying she is until now. “Ronan is not your mate. He is not interested in anyone but his mate, Melanie. You need to focus on finding the one that is destined for you when you turn eighteen. Until then focus on school,” he says. I try not to laugh when she stomps her foot and stalks out of the office. “I apologize, Ronan. She is very immature. Hopefully her wolf will help her grow up,” he says.

“No problem Reagan. Are you ready for training? Silas wants out in the worst way.” “Of course, let’s go.” He stands just as the phone on his desk rings. When he places it against his ear, I can hear my aunt’s shrill voice. I can’t make out everything she is saying, but I definitely hear the word king. What the hell is she going

on about now?
