Claimed by her second chance

Chapter Five

Daxtons POV

I’m sitting in my office reading through the files on the runt and her family, seems she’s had it pretty rough. Her biological parents where my fathers original Beta couple who died in the rouge attack almost 17 years ago, when they died Tylah was only a year old, my father agreed to our healer Jax and his wife to raise her, I see she comes from a decent bloodline, the Beta Reid bloodline to be exact, it’s one of the strongest beta bloodlines in our history, her father beta Carl was originally from our packs beta line and her mother is an alphas daughter and not just any alpha, but the previous alpha of the nightshade pack the strongest pack in our state, this surprises me a lot actually as she’s just so small.

I don’t see anything in the files that indicates her mothers family being contacted of her death or that Tylah is still alive, nor that she was allowed to be adopted outside of her family. I might have to make some phone calls to get more information on why, And maybe get a better idea about her family. I make a note on the file and place everything into my top desk drawer so I can lock it up, I feel exhausted just from reading, I rub my palms over my face and rest my elbows on the desk before taking a deep Breath and mind linking my father “dad, I need to speak with you and it’s pretty important” I waited a few minutes, our link was open and I could feel him thinking intently before he replied “meet me in my office, I’ll be there soon” he ended the link abruptly so I just headed straight for his office on the ground floor of the pack house , I knocked but got no reply so I know he isn’t here yet, I pushed open the double mahogany doors and went to sit on the plush couches he has in the far corner of the room, this is where he has his less formal meetings over a coffee and cake, I waited for about 20 minutes before he waltz’s through the door, didn’t even acknowledge me just goes straight to his desk and sits down before clearing his throat to get my attention. I stood and moved toward to the seat in front of his desk and took a seat “what is this about” he spoke sharply as if this were just another annoying meeting for the day. “I’m here to ask about your previous betas, beta Carl and beta Rose as well as their daughter Tylah” he remained silent, nose flaring slightly and I could see he was annoyed with the subject. “What’s it to you?” He snapped “i found my mate dad, my faded mate and she’s too young to scent me yet so I’m trying to figure out why and how the goddess prepared me a runt for a mate, I wanted to know her bloodline, where she comes from” he looks to have relaxed a little and sighed “I knew this was going to happen, the runt, she’s your mate isn’t she” he was shaking his head displeasure reading all over his face. I looked at him a little surprised, he’s always been one who’s strict in accepting your faded mate, who pushed us kids to believe in who the goddess have paired with us, “she is dad now please, I need answers, I know her father was from the beta Reid bloodline and I know her mother Rose was Apha Blade of the Nightshade packs daughter but I can’t see any notice given to her family about her death nor the fact Tylah survived and got adopted out side of their own family, how can a runt come from the two most powerful families in the state?” My father ran his fingers through his greying beard and paused “ she cannot be your Luna Daxton, I cannot and will not hand you down the title if you are going to risk becoming week for a runt. She isn’t strong enough to be Luna , we never notified alpha blade of Roses death because if he seen his daughter birthed a runt he would have cast her out or put that girl down, she’s a stain on their blood line, I promised beta Carl that I would protect his daughter and that’s what I have done but that does NOT mean I want her as this packs Luna, you’ll do well by rejecting that girl and getting your self a strong she wolf mate to be your Luna“ I stare in utter belief , that he even mentioned rejection, a growl forms in the back of my throat , my wolf is not impressed with being told he can’t have his mate, a rejection from an alpha wolf could kill a she wolf. “You know it’s the right thing to do son, it’s what’s best for the pack, she’ll weaken us and you know it”. His words were drowning my mind, I know I need a strong Luna to rule beside me but how am I supposed to reject what is meant to be mine. I stand and leave the office slamming the door behind me “Tane, Chase, western territory time for a run” I spoke through the link and I take off shifting mid air as I exited the pack house and took off toward the forest, my large paws hitting the ground loud, anger and hurt surround me.
