Dallas’ p.o.v. Six months later I’m nervous as hell. Today, I will be facing Shadow Valley Pack; it is time for Alpha Leon to hand over the Pack to Nico. I’m not sure what they are expecting; the only thing I can assume is that Alpha Leon knows he cannot hand over the Pack to Nico. I genuinely believe that Alpha Leon hopes no one remembers what their Pack-law states, because they have been planning this ceremony for the past six months. In my mind, he should have known that someone from the Elders would be aware of their Pack-laws. After all, every Pack has to send a request to the Elders if they want to make their Pack-law tighter than our main Laws are and that is something Alpha Leon’s Great Great-grandfather did. He just wanted to ensure that whoever was leading the Pack would be able to make it stronger, and the only way to do that was by having a true Mate-bond by his side. Even though we can no longer find our fated Mate the way our ancestors once did, we have found a new way to find our true Mate-bond, and Alpha Leon’s Great-Great-Grandfather wanted his successor to have a true Mate-bond with his Luna. If only he knew that his Great-Great-Great-Grandson was about to break that very law. In the past year, I have learned so many different Pack-laws and each Pack is bound to uphold those laws. There is only one way you can get away from the laws of your ancestors and that is by asking for a trial in front of the King. The King is the only one who can erase a law that was established by the Pack themselves. Alpha Leon never requested that type of trial and for that reason, he cannot hand over the Pack to Nico, something Alpha Leon is very well aware of. If anyone in Shadow Valley Pack knew their Pack-laws, they would have known that Alpha Leon cannot hand over the Pack to Nico and Lucy. I made sure that I knew every single exception to our main laws and Pack-laws; I wanted to know if there was a loophole Alpha Leon could use and despite hours of studying, I was unable to find a loophole he could use. It was stated very clearly that only an Alpha with a true Mate-bond can become the next Alpha of Shadow Valley Pack and everyone in our Pack is well aware of the fact that there is no true Mate-bond between Nico and Lucy. They were there when I rejected him; they were there to hear the truth about my true Mate-bond with Nico and my Father's request to allow Lucy to take the Luna position. There is no way Alpha Leon can deny what happened that day and even if he tries, it won't do him any good, because I have the recordings of that day. We have filled out all the forms that we might need to hand over to Alpha Leon, after we have given him the cancellation order from the Elders and that includes a trial date with the King if he wants to challenge his own Pack-laws. If he decides to take that trial date and tries to get the King’s support to delete their Pack-law, I will have everything I need to prove to the King that they don't deserve to erase that part of their Pack-laws.Alpha Leon can't claim that he was unaware of that particular law because his Father was the second Son of the Alpha and he got to take over from his Father because his Brother had rejected his true Mate-bond. “Dallas, are you ready to head out? It is quite a long drive and Elder Jensen doesn't want us to be late. He will make it sound like we are there as a learning experience, but he wants you to stay out of sight and ensure that no one recognizes you.” Joshua says. “Joshua, you are sometimes a real pain in the ass. I have no intention of anyone recognizing me before I get to hand out the cancellation order. I will remain in the car until Elder Jensen gives me the signal to show myself and shut down that Shitshow.” I answer him. I can hear Joshua and Jesper chuckle as I walk out of my room. “I already told him that you would obey Elder Jensen’s request, that you wouldn’t want anyone to recognize you and spoil the surprise.” Jasper says “Did you manage to get a guest list?” I ask Jesper. Jesper nods affirmatively, “It took me a little digging, but I finally managed to find all the Packs that they have invited for the Alpha and Luna Ceremony. They have invited three of their allies and two Packs they want an alliance with.” I am surprised to see the name of Alpha Preston's Pack on the list. It is common knowledge that Alpha Preston isn’t known for indulging Packs that do not follow the main laws or their own Pack-laws. This is going to be fun to watch because even before they can discuss an alliance, it will be over.The three of us get into the back seat of the SUV. One of my Squad members will drive us to Shadow Valley Pack, and Joshua and Jesper will be the only ones to step out of the SUV. I will wait until Elder Jensen mind-links me before I get out of the SUV. I am really looking forward to seeing the look on my Father’s face when he sees that I am a Squad Captain. I go through the file that holds the cancellation papers. I know they are all in order, and there shouldn't be any surprises—at least not for me. The same cannot be said for the members of Shadow Valley Pack. I’m not really sure how I should feel about going back to my birth Pack, but Charna and I agree on the same thing and that is that this Pack hasn't been our home since the day everyone chose Lucy over me. Even if Nico were to ask me to give him another chance, Charna would refuse. His Wolf should have stopped him from sleeping with Lucy and there are only two ways for Nico to have been able to sleep with Lucy. One way would be to block his Wolf and if he was able to do that, it means that his Wolf is weak. The other way is that his Wolf agreed with him for some reason. If his Wolf had agreed with him and therefore given him the chance to sleep with Lucy, I would like to know what his Wolf has against me. Even though I doubt I will ever get to hear that reason, it is a reason I would like to know. But only if his Wolf allowed Nico to sleep with someone they didn’t have a true Mate-bond with. I have learned a hell of a lot more in the past year from the Elders than in my whole life at Shadow Valley Pack and I made sure that I pointed all of it out to the Elders. None of them liked hearing that there was a Pack that deliberately mis-educated their Pack-members. The Elders believe that this was done intentionally by Alpha Leon to prevent anyone from pointing out any mistakes he had made and that he probably was expecting his Son to break their Pack-law on succession.
