Chapter 77 Shock Zalia I keep looking from Hester to Elinor and try to wrap my head around Brad's behavior, because I never thought he ordered Hester around. He was always telling us that we should accept everyone for who and what they are, not that he preached it in front of other Alphas and I know he didn't because he taught us that every Alpha had different ideas.
I remember hearing many different opinions over the years, but they all had one thing in common and that is their lack of faith in females. I remember hearing many Alphas say that they would have never accepted their fated Mate if she was of a Low rank, but know that it will weaken a Pack if multiple generations of High-ranking members take a chosen Mate.
"Even though there is enough evidence to support Zalia's claim I have something to add to it." Axelle says as Liam places a file in front ofand as I open it I am faced with a picture of Mom, taken stafter she cto the Palace. I glance trough the pages about her case and I stop at the page from when she left the Palace.
Right there in front ofis the evidence that Mom changed her name, she didn't want her family to be able to find her and risk that someone might try to forcefully mark her. She wanted tto find her Mate and cto terms with her past, to find a way to never let it happen again. That leaveswith a question I will never find an answer to, because the only one that can give it tois no longer with us.
"Zalia, you still haven't answered my question." Axelle says as I close the file and hand it to Dad. I know I didn't give her an answer and I am not quite sure how to answer her question. I know the Packs are too far apart to run both of them to the best of my abilities and I am not sure if I can resolve it the way I want to./ but I know I can get that answer if I talk to Uncle Darric for a moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Your Majesty, I think I need to talk to Uncle Darric for a moment. Can I use the Alpha office?" I ask as I get up and Uncle Darric followsout of the dining room the moment Axelle nods her head. I know that technically it is my office, but Moon Stone Pack is still under her command until she releases it back into my care.
I walk into the office after the Guards at the door have gotten permission from Axelle and as I stare at the boxes on the desk I remember why they were placed at the door. I open the first box and find the files of every High- ranking member of Moon Stone Pack and I know I have my work cut out forno matter what I decide to do. "Uncle Darric, how many more Pack-members can Crystal Cove house?" I ask as I open the second box, L need something to do while he is thinking about the answer. I am surprised to see what Brad did with the Pack's finances and I feel Twilight getting angry the more I read, he really deprived our Pack from a lot of money.
There have been things over the years we couldn't replace, because Brad made it clear there weren't enough funds to replace them and every piece of paper in front ofshowsthat he was lying. Just another thing I have to consider before I can answer Axelle's question.
Zalia, can I have your attention for a moment?" Uncle Darric asks and I look up at him to see him smiling at him. I hand him the files I am holding, just to show him why Twilight and I are a bit agitated and it only takes a few seconds for Uncle Darric to start shifting his eyes between the files and me.
Both of us understanding that Brad kept this Pack on a tight leash and only spend money if he really had no other choice. I am getting a better understanding of why other Packs never spend the night here, because it might have shown them that our Pack wasn'as wealthy as Brad and Hester wanted everyone to 1/3 Tha Thu Jan 30 EEE: Chapter 77 Shock 62% Finished believe and if they wandered around the territory they would have seen that not everything was well taken care off.
"Let's start with your question before we go into the Pack's finances. I think I understand why you are asking your question, there is enough room for a few hundred more Pack-members and there is a stretch of territory that can be used for housing Pack-member, Uncle Darric says and knowing I can easily house close to a thousand more Pack-members makes my decision easier.
I link Deimos to joinin the office as Uncle Darric gets up to return to the main dining room, I need his thoughts on a few things that have been running through my mind and as my Mate he has just as much say in this as I do. Deimos wrapsin his arms the moment he stands next toand for a moment we just stand there.
We sit down on the couch facing the window and we go through the files with a fine toothcomb, I want to do what is right for this Pack. As the Alpha it is my job to keep my Pack-members safe and to make their lives as pleasant as I can.
I hear Goliath growl next toand I stare at the page Deimos is pointing at. There is a list of yearly returning money transfer, but the nof the receiving party isn't familiar toand I know I will try to find out who this is. I need to be able to explain why Brad transferred that money every year, not only I deserve that answer so do the Pack-members.
By the tDeimos and I have gone through every file on Brad's secret bookkeeping, I know exactly what my funds are and what I want to do for the Pack. Deimos and I were even able to tackle a few other issues I had running through my mind and I am getting closer to making my final decision.
I need to take to a few more people before I can answer Axelle's question completely, but I will make sure ] will answer a part of her question before lunch is over. They all need to understand that this isn't an easy question to answer, it isn't going to be a short answer of something that can be done within a few hours and the issues I haven't answered for myself yet are going to take a little while to get answers to.
Deimos pullsfrom my thoughts when he whispers on my ear. "Lunch is ready." I reluctantly get up to face everyone again, but I also know I can't hide in here forever. I slip my arm around his waist as we walk to the door and I take a deep breath to steady myself, hoping that Elinor won't open her yap again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI see Servants walking in and out of the main dining room as we walk down the hall and I hear an angry voice coming from the dining room. "If she thinks I will give up my title without a fight, she is sorely mistaken. Moon Stone Pack belongs toand she will never becit's Alpha, she has no idea what to do with a Pack.” I hear Elinor shout.
I walk into the room with Deimos by my side and as Elinor takes a step towardsConner steps in her way, growling at her when she tries to get around him. Deimos and I ignore it as we walk back to our table and I smile at all the food that is placed on the tables, I am going to enjoy this lunch a lot.
Deimos and I keep our conversation through the mind-link, neither one of us willing to share anything with the others yet and I really enjoy the food the Palace Servants prepared. Elinor keeps trying to get my attention, but I act as if I don't notice and I hear her growl from tto time. Deimos is enjoying it a little to much if you ask me, but I am not going to tell him to stop.
I get up after the Servants have cleared the tables and start pacing behind the table. "There are still a few things I need answers to, I am still not sure how this will work out and I am not sure how long it will take before I have answers. I do know that I want what is best for both Packs, but I haven't figured out what that is yet.” I say.
Elinor looks atwith a murderous look in her eyes and I know she will not give up quickly. She really 16:37 Thu, Jan 30 BBB.

wants to becAlpha of Moon Stone Pack and the one in the way of that happens to bebuk doubt she understands that she never had a claim to it. She doesn't even understand that her Father lied to the entire Pack, including his own family.
"There is something I do want to share with all of you, something Moon Stone Pack needs to known about the man they called their Alpha for so long. Brad has taken money that belongs to the Pack and put it in hidden accounts, he also has been transferring an amunt for years to an account of someone I don't know.
Every tsomeone asked for the replacement of equipment, to fix certain things or to rebuild were told that there weren't enough funds and that is a big lie." I say as I look around the something we weroom and I see shocked and confused looks on the face of his Mate and his Daughter. 728
