When everyone has settled down again, Queen Axelle tells them that someone will explain why they tried to forcefully mark a She–wolf, and when she calls my name, I step out of the Pack–house, followed by Deimos and Leander. All eyes are on me as I step onto the small platform and take the place Queen Axelle

just occupied, Deimos and Leander stan let everyone process the information I just gave them.
“Alpha Brad was only an acting Alpha.” I say
Some of the Alphas that are present have an alliance with Moon Stone Pack, and they know that if the rightful Alpha takes over, their alliance might come to an end. Hester wants to get out of her seat but Elinor stops her from getting up. I can tell that she is talking to her Mother through the mind–link and a small smile appears on Hester’s face.
The original Alpha from Moon Stone Pack was stripped of his title when his Daughter reported to the Royal Family that her Father wanted to have her forcefully marked. His Son Maxwell took over a few weeks er when his Sister didn’t return from the Palace, but he was only an acting Alpha. He wanted his Sister to take the position as Alpha because it was her birth right. He wanted to give her time to come to terms with what their Father had tried to do.
Maxwell took Brad as his Beta two years after taking over as acting Alpha, but he never told Brad he wasn’t the rightful Alpha. A year after Brad joined Moon Stone Pack, Maxwell found his fated Mate at a party hosted by Little River Pack and that was written down in the Archive of Little River Pack with the mention that there never was a Luna Ceremony.
It wasn’t until after his death that Brad realized he never meant that his Sister was younger than him. In fact Maxwell referred to his Sister as Little One because she was shorter than him; she was the first born Pup to their Father and that made her the rightful heir to the Alpha position of Moon Stone Pack. During the attack that killed Maxwell, his Mate and some other High–ranking members died as well, and by replacing them with outsiders, Brad was able to keep things a secret.
“It wasn’t the only thing Brad kept from the Pack–members.” I say and I hear Brad and Hester growl at not mentioning his title, but I refuse to use it any longer as he has no right to it. Brad never informed the Elders that he would take over as acting Alpha, he knew there was someone else that had a right to that title and informing the Elders would keep him from what he thought he deserved.
It also made it impossible for him to implement any idea the Pack–members handed him. He would never get approval from the Elders to start any kind of business. That meant holding on to the ways the Pack had always made their money, investing it into other companies. That is where the alliances came in, he needed them to invest the Pack’s money without anyone getting the wiser.
put some of the money aside, hidden away in accounts no In some cases it went so well that Brad decided to one knew about and that included his own family. The bookkeeping on those accounts was hidden away in a safe in his office, and in the other safe were all the files on the High–ranking members in Moon Stone Pack, the files on the Alpha bloodline were hidden elsewhere.
He had a room on the Alpha floor with a built–in bookshelf along the wall, it has three hidden compartments and each of them held a secret he didn’t want anyone to find. Every file on the Alpha bloodline from the founding of Moon Stone Pack till Maxwell were in one of those compartments, in the second compartment were his personal journals and in the third compartment were files he stole from Crystal Cove Pack.
Brad had been able to make the connection between Juliette arriving at the Palace and Maxwell’s Sister, but the only other thing he was able to find out is that Juliette grew up in Crystal Cove Pack. He was never able to find out where she went after she left the Palace and he had hoped that by the time Donovan would take

over, the rightful heir had died, allowing Donovan to get the Alpha powers for Moon Stone Pack
If Brad had been able to find Juliette, he could have asked her if she wanted to become the Alpha of Moon Stone Pack, and if she had told him she didn’t want the title, he could have asked her to sign over her rights. as the heir to him. By filing those papers with the Elders he would have gotten the powers that come with the position as Alpha of Moon Stone Pack and he would have been able to have an even wealthier and stronger Pack.
“Not that Donovan would have gotten the Alpha powers for Moon Stone Pack, because the rightful heir is still alive.” I say and every Pack–member starts cheering, while Brad stares at me in confusion. Maxwell never went looking for his Sister Juliette, because she deserved some peace and quiet according to Maxwell, Some of the older Pack–members might remember that he had an older Sister, the Daughter of their former Alpha’s fated Mate.
As mentioned, Juliette grew up in Crystal Cove Pack and that had everything to do with her family not trusting her Father. Juliette’s Mother had a protection detail and her Mate refused to allow them to move with her to his Pack, making Juliette’s Mother decide to stay with her family. Juliette comes from a bloodline with gifted females and for that reason her Mother had a protection detail that went with her wherever she went.
A rumor was spread after Juliette’s Father took a mistress, saying that her Mother died in childbirth and there had never been a mention of her Pup. Her family witnessed her going through the betrayal pains almost every day, stopping after her Mate’s mistress died in childbirth. Her Father even started showing up again after a few years and when he visited on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, he finally rejected his fated Mate.
Somehow Juliette found out what her Father had planned and after fleeing Crystal Cove Pack, her Father got stripped of his Alpha title, leaving a seventeen year old in charge of Moon Stone Pack. Juliette moved to another Pack after a few years with a new name. She met her Mate there and moved again due to circumstances. She had two Pups with her Mate and died after losing a battle with a terrible disease.
“Juliette’s Father never knew if she had any abilities nor did he know what they could have been.” My eyes look at our Pack–members to find the males I was looking for. When I finally find them not too far from Uncle Darric’s table, I ask them to stand, “Juliette’s Father asked you to become his Deltas to protect Juliette and her offspring, and Maxwell kept the two of you as Deltas, but Brad relieved you of duty because it was the only thing he could do as acting Alpha.” I say and both males nod their head.
I see very confused faces when they realize that this Pack didn’t have Deltas before and I smile as I start to explain why they were asked to join Moon Stone Pack. After all, Moon Stone Pack never had a special bloodline, but with his fated Mate’s Pup, Moon Stone Pack had suddenly become a Pack with a special bloodline and therefore Moon Stone Pack gained two Deltas.
Crystal Cove has always had a special bloodline and each female born into that special bloodline was given the best protection they could find. It didn’t stop tragedy from happening on a few occasions, but each time they learned something to keep those females better protected from their Mates or other males that wanted to take advantage of their abilities and that resulted in Juliette’s Mother having her own personal protection

“Rocco is the male Juliette’s Father had chosen for her, but his Father was unaware of the fact that this would
ock eyes end in a forceful marking and something tells me that Rocco was well aware of that fact.” I say with Rocco and everyone that is looking at him can see that I am telling the truth, that he knew and was willing to forcefully mark Juliette. Uncle Darric is looking murderous in Rocco’s direction, but a few whispered words from Grandma calms him down.
Queen Axelle calls for a lunch break, and I follow her off the platform back into the Pack–house, Deimos right beside me with his arm wrapped around my shoulder. We head straight up to the Alpha floor. The
