The Forgotten Princess & her Beta Mates

Doing to Ply

Going to Pay

Dallas' p.o.v.

After letting them grovel a little more I finally told them that they were forgiven, but they better run and hide next

time.

I am in the main living room with Jesper and Belinda, we are waiting for Marco to return from his last appointment in the infirmary and hopefully also his last time being admitted to the infirmary.

"Hello, Dallas." Danielle says as she approaches our table,noveldrama

"That is Captain Dallas for you. The law states that you have to address a High- ranking member with their title and that means that you will address her as Captain." Jesper says and for good measure Belinda refers to me as Captain while placing my coffee in front of me.

"Captain Dallas, I am hoping that you can clarify a few things for me," Daniella says while sitting down across the table from me. I meet Daniella's gaze with a blank stare, I didn't invite her to sit down with us and I am not interested in her company.

Daniella starts moving a bit uncomfortably, she seems to be aware of the fact that I don't want her sitting there. "What is that mutt doing here?" I hear Daniella mumble under her breath.

"Excuse me! What did you just say?" I ask as I rise out of my seat. It's not that I didn't hear Daniella, but I would love to hear her repeat it a little louder.

"I didn't say anything, but I am wondering what he is doing here." Daniella says, her eyes never leaving Marco.

"Marco has more right to be here than you do, I didn't invite you to sit down at the table and yet here you are. This table is reserved for High-ranking members and last time I checked you are nothing but a Sigma." I see while looking Daniela in the eye.

"Neither is he. So what is he doing here?" Daniela asks.

Is she really this stupid? Does she believe that there are men in this world who would actually appreciate an airhead like her?

"Marco is Belinda's baby Brother and there is a connection between Belinda and my third in command Jesper. That means that Marco has every right to sit at this table and as Lalready pointed out you don't. Now get lost." I growl the last sentence in her direction, while two of my Squad members come towards the table and step on either side of Daniela.

"Either you leave on your own accord or they will help you, it's up to you." I say before I sit down.

Daniella decides to use what little brain she has and walks away from the table. I don't think this is over by a long shot, because I doubt that Daniella will give up on Daxton that easily.

I still don't understand why Daniella is more interested in Daxton, when she knows that he holds no title. Darius would be the right person to pursue, after all his Beta Ceremony was witnessed by the entire Pack.

Preston had explained that Daxton's Ceremony had taken place behind closed doors, because Madeline kept pressuring him on only giving that position to Darius. She hadn't been able to explain to Preston why she felt that Daxton didn't deserve the Beta position, but I think I'm starting to see a clear picture.

"Jesper, we are going to use the library on the Alpha floor to prepare for the trial. Get all the files that we need and get them into the library before dinner." I tell him through the mind-link.

I used the mind-link because I don't want Daniella to know that I will be working on the Alpha floor nor do I want

her to know what I am working on

Marco, can you show me the doctor's office? I need to give him the medical files of the Squad members and the sooner that's done the better." I say to Marco.

It isn't a complete lie because I do have to make sure that toe has all our medical files, but it will also give me the chance to ask him about something that Preston Rayden and Darlus told me.

I close the door behind me after I walk into the Doctor's office, I place the files of all my Squad members on his. desk and sit down in the chair across from him.

"Doc, I have a question for you and I need you to think carefully before you answer me." He just nods his head after I'm done talking and I tell him about the other day.

Doc is quiet for a moment and it is clear to see that he is racking his brain trying to find an answer to my question. I already have my suspicions but, I need Doc to confirm it for me, because I need hard evidence before I can accuse

anyone.

"Can you repeat their exact words, Captain Dallas?" He asks as he leans back in his chair.

I repeat their words one by one, I start out with Preston's words and by the time I am done with Rayden's words Doc is already nodding his head.

"I understand your question, Captain Dallas. I also have the answer, but I would like to know why you need this information." Doc says.

I tell Doc everything I have heard from his leadership and the more I say the more he starts nodding his head, beginning to understand why I came to him with my questions.

"I also need you to look at this and tell me if this coincides with the story you just heard." I say before I show him the footage from that day.

"Captain, I completely understand your line of questioning and your doubts. Are you planning on bringing this in front of the King?" Doc asks.

"I don't need to when it comes to issues like this, as a Squad Captain I can hold a trial without Elders or the King present. This kind of issue is always dealt with by the Alpha and in this case I am not only going to allow Alpha Preston to pass judgment but also her current Alpha. What she did all those years ago was wrong and she is going to pay for it." I say.
