The Forgotten Princess & her Beta Mates

Ever since Dallas walked out of the Pack-house, the atmosphere had gone downhill.noveldrama

Most Pack-members had witnessed the events in the dining room and those that had been busy with other tasks, had seen the footage. Some had recorded the events and spread them across the territory, making sure that everyone knew what had happened.

Alpha Leon had given his Pack-members the order to never discuss what happened with outsiders, but he knew he had a lose canon in the form of Dallas. He had been to stunned to react quick enough and when he had realized he needed to stop her, she had already been gone.

No one had been able to find a trace of her, pinging her phone had failed too and there was no bank account in her name. It was as if she disappeared into thin air.

They tried to find her browser history, but that had been wiped clean. Not a small trace was found of Dallas or her ever living within the territory, because her file had been gone too.

Alpha Leon had a suspicion that Dallas had been planning her departure for a long rime, but no one had an answer for him. Not her Father, not his Son and when he tried to find any of her friends, he found out she had none.

The only thing he could find on Dallas, was her training schedule and her patrol reports. That girl had been his top Warrior and he had never known about it.

Her Father had been surprised to hear about her status within the Pack, but it hadn't impressed him much. After all she was a Beta's Daughter, she had to be a strong Warrior.

After two months of trying everything to find her, Alpha Leon finally gave up. At least on a large scale, but he kept an eye out for any news on a female that came across his desk.

Slowly life went back to some sort of normal in Shadow Valley Pack, but most Pack-members didn't like what Nico had done to Dallas.

The connection that can lead to a true Mate-bond should be respected and Nico made Dallas believe that he did respect it, only to betray her with Lucy.

Lucy hadn't been seen much by the Pack-members, it seemed that she was avoiding them. Every time she did show herself, she could hear the whispers and they weren't friendly words she heard.

She had always wanted everything that belonged to Dallas and she had always succeeded in getting it, but now Pack-members were starting to take Dallas' side. Even though she wasn't here to see it, Dallas didn't know that more and more Pack-members were taking her side.

Lucy swore to herself that she would make them pay, she wasn't going to give up on her dream of becoming a Luna and once she was their Luna they would have to show her the respect that she believed she deserved.

Nico knew that Pack-members were talking about him behind his back, he could also hear the whispers and like Lucy he thought there would come a day that they would have to show him the respect he deserved as an Alpha.

None of them had given the Pack-laws any thought, none of them anticipated that the Ceremonies they were planning would be for nothing.

Another two months passed without a word from Dallas and they started to breath a little easier, thinking that Nico's actions would have no consequences for Shadow Valley Pack.

The invitations had been sent out to every Pack and the Elders, it was going to be a huge Ceremony with as many guests as they could hold within their territory.

The decorations had been picked out, but the current Luna wasn't happy with it. Lucy was a very demanding woman and she knew how to get her way, how to manipulate Nico into giving her everything she wanted.

It wasn't the cost of the party that the Luna worried about, it was the decorations that worried her and she didn't know how to bring it up with her Mate or her Son. Nico didn't want to hear a bad word about Lucy and her Mate always chose the side of their Son.

Lucy had turned down every suggestion the Luna had made on the decorations, she didn't want the black with golden accented table clothes or any of the other items in their Pack colors.

Everything was in a bright pink color with black accents, from the table clothes to the candle holders and the more the Luna looked at it, the more she realized that this would make them the laughingstock of the Kingdom.

"Let's just hope that the King doesn't show up." The Luna had thought to herself, she would hate it if the Royal family saw this.

When it came to Lucy's Luna training, well there wasn't any. Lucy didn't believe she needed to know what the duties of a Luna are, she had dismissed every attempt of the current Luna to rain her and once again Lucy had managed to manipulate Nico into agreeing with her.

Instead of fighting her Son on his decision, she accepted it with a soft smile. Lucy would fall out of character soon enough and then Nico would realize that he made a huge mistake. A mistake the Luna hoped he could still rectify.

Too bad for Shadow Valley Pack that they were being watched, if only every Shifter would have realized that they are always watched and that everything they did, would eventually have consequences.

There was no hope for Nico to mend his mistake, there was no hope for Shadow Valley Pack to stay a strong and wealthy Pack.

Lucy's scheming had already cost too much, she had robbed Shadow Valley Pack of the one thing that had kept them so strong and wealthy. But Lucy wasn't the only one to blame, there were others within that territory that were responsible.

Dallas will find her happiness, she is the key to this Kingdom's survival. Without Dallas this Kingdom is doomed, without her this Kingdom will parish. A divine intervention is being plotted.
