Confusion

Daxton’s po.v.

“The story isn’t publicly known at the request of Princess Dy, she didn’t want to tear her family apart and refused to go home. bThe /bKing finally came here and the Algha told him the truth about the ne, forcing the King to rethink the appointment of his Son as the King

He hadn’t counted on one thing though, Princess bDy /bdidn’t want anything to do with her two conniving bBrothers /band asked her Father to leave the matter in the past.” I tell Das.

No one knows what happened to the ne and I hope that someone destroyed the damn thing, because it ruined the life of an innocent woman.

“Did s

she ever return to the Pce?” Das asks and I understand her curiosity.

“No, she found a connection in a neighboring Pack. She unfortunately died before they had any children, so her bloodline within the Royal family died down.” I answer her.

Das stares at the painting for a little longerb, /bbefore she tries to squirm out of my arms.

“No, I am not letting go of you. Tell me where you wanna go and I will take but you are staying in my

you there, arms, Little One.” I say.

She ollibgo/b. /li/ol

e pulls back a little to allow herself to look into my eyes, quickly realizing that I have no intention of letting her

“Fine. I need to get back to those files, there is still much to prepare for and I don’t bhave /bforever.” Das says, while she looks over her shoulder at the table.

“Where you expertise anyone?” I ask when we hear a knock on the door.

I put her down in a chair after she has shaken her head, the others wouldn’t knock because we have nothing to hide from one another.

Opening the door I see Lara standing outside the Alpha Library, the Omega that still reports to Madeline. She shouldn’t be on the Alpha bfloor/b, because it isn’t her assigned floor and that makes Cyran rather suspicious of her presence here.

“Larab, /bwhat are you doing on the Alpha floor?” I ask and I hear papers moving across the table. Sounds to me as if Das doesn’t trust this either.

“I came to see if Captain Das needed anything, I know she has a job to do and I just bwant /bto make sure that she has everything she needs. Alpha Preston can forget about refreshments while working and I just wanted to make sure that doesn’t happen to Captain Das.” Lara answers the and to anyone else this would make sense, but another Omega is assigned to the Alpha floor.

It would be her job to check up on Das and get refreshments for Das, if she would want them.

“Isn’t that Judy’s job? Luna Pear told me that she takes care of the Alpha floor.” Das asks from behind me.

Lara looks from Das to me but neither of us says another bword/b, both of us waiting for Lara to answer Das! question.

“I wanted to help Judy out, she is busy cleaning the Alpha floor and doesn’t have time toe here to look after Captain Das.” Lara answers after a few seconds.

“bStrange/b.” Das mumbles and Lara isn’t the only one staring at her. “Luna Pearl made bsure /bto inform Judy that she had to check up on me regrly and to alert me when it is time for lunch or dinner.b” /b

Confusion

Das made it sound as if Lara doesn’t trust Judy to do her job, but every Pack–member knows that Judy has been taking care of the Alpha family for decades and she is damn good at her job. Sometimes it seems as if she knows what Preston or Pearl needs before they do and Darius band /bhave pointed out a few times that it is creepy

“Get back to your assigned location, Lara. Show up here again without permission and I will report it to Alpha Preston.” Das says before she closes the door in Lara’s face.

She grabs my hand and walks back to the table to continue working I took some files with me to do some of my tasks and soon the room is quiet, except for our breathing and the asional turning of papers.

1 am going through the kitchen budget, Pearl mentioned a bsmall /bdiscrepancy inst month’s invoices and it is my job to check it. Darius does all the Beta tasks that involve meetings and everything connected to that, while I take bcare /bof the financial aspects.

Going through the file, I findst month’s receipts and invoices from deliveries. Ipare them to every input in our bookkeeping program, moving them to the right when they match up and to the left if something looks out of ce.

Once I have checked every receipt and every invoice, I am left with six receipts that don’t add up. It totals to a hundred and fifty bucks bthat /bare missing from the books, not much money but enough to take a better look at the books.

Something wrong, Old man?” Das asks with a smile and I pull her onto myp while Cyran growls softly at ber teasing.

I point at the file in front of me and it only takes her seconds to see what I found.

“Maybe Alpha Preston needs to update his systems, maybe he should limit the amount of Pack–members that have ess to the books.” Das says and I know that she is right, there are too bmany /bpeople that can get into the books and alter the numbers.

“None of them can alter the numbers enough to make us go bankrupt.” I state.

“They don’t have tob, /bif they can do this often enough and for long enough it will have the bsame /bend result.” Das replies and 1 bgrowl /bat the prospect of checking all our books.

Das leans her head against my shoulder, her hand running up and down my arm. I like how this makes me feel and once again I am grateful that I never gave up hope on finding my connection.

“You called, Captain.” I hear as the door opens.

“Daxton needs help with checking the Pack’s finances, more specifically the kitchen budget.” Das says and I look at her with confusion written all over my face.
