Chapter 20 Night Patrol

With my back against the wall I look in the direction of Moon Storm Pack, I wish I could be there in the morning when Rick wakes up
Twilight says and I slowly op” find out that he is taken out of the competition. “No one is in the kitchen.”
the door to make my way inside, keeping an eye on my surroundings.
The door to the hallway is open and so is the door to the dining room. First I go to the dining room to find the statue of the male that founded our Kingdom, he never carried the title of King but most consider him. the first Roval we had and I know that he will hold the reward for Moon Storm Pack.
I look around the dining room that is completely empty and I wonder if this room gets used if there are no visitors, it looks so huge and unpersonal when it is empty. I walk up the stage to sit in the King’s seat and look at the room from his point of view, “Not a seat would want to fill.“Twilight says in my head and 1 slowly get up to grab the first reward.
I have to grab a chair to reach for the box that is placed on the statue’s shoulder, whoever put it there. made sure it wasn’t really noticeable. I walked around the statue twice before looking up and down the statue, but once I spotted it I quickly got it down from there. I place it in my backpack before I go back to the kitchen and head towards the main living room of the Palace.
“Why do we have to go to the main living room?” Twilight asks and I smile as I duck into a bay window. “Prince Reginald was called the little Prince, even though he was as tall as Deimos. “I answer her and she is rolling around in
my head as she calls Deimos “little Gamma” over and over again.
“That is the little Prince.” I say to Twilight as I step in front of the painting, only to drop to the floor the next second when I hear footsteps near the window. I look up at the painting to see where the reward is hidden and I see a sachet hanging of the back of the painting. Once I make sure that the coast is clear, I get to my feet and snatch the sachet of the painting-
“What do you think is in there?” Twilight asks as I put it in my backpack. “I don’t know. Why don’t we wait until we get back to Gaia’s place and had some sleep.” I answer as I walk towards the exit, but I turn around quickly as I realize I can never open that huge door without anyone noticing it.
Luckily I had seen a small door not far from the painting and I walk over there as I listen for any sounds in the vicinity, but it seems this is my lucky day. I make my way out of the Palace and climb the nearest tree to make a plan to get out of Mystic Moon Pack territory. I smile when I see Leander walking around the Palace with another Warrior.
“He was the one that nearly caught us, Twilight.” I say as I keep staring at Leander, I know that if keep staring long enough he will be able to feel it and I wonder if he can find where it is coming from. Twilight is game, I keep staring at him and after a minute or two he starts looking around.
His buddy is talking to him and Leander apparently answers him as he also starts looking around, but neither one of them seems to understand where it comes from. I let my eyes glide up the Palace walls and I smile when I see Deimos stepping on to his balcony, a moment later Eryx steps onto the balcony above
him.
Both of them are scanning the area, “Looks like Leander tipped them off.” Twilight says, but this time we don’t keep our eyes on Deimos or Eryx. They will probably be able to locate me and that would mean losing my rewards, no way in hell I will let that happen.
After about twenty minutes they all give up, Deimos ar Eryx go back into their rooms and Leander assumes his patrol around the Palace. The moment he rounds the corner I want to get out of the tree. but

Twilight warns me to sit still and a moment later I see Deimos looking out his window. “Sneaky bastard.” I whisper.
I
minute or two after he has stepped away from his window before I get out of the tree and make i
to their southern border. Along the way I have to climb a few trees again, but I get out of the territory without getting caught and I sigh in relief when I see our own border come into view.
“Honey, I’m almost home.” I say through the mind–link to Gaia and she tells me they are almost done with border patrol. I tell her that I will get some sleep first and tell them all about my adventures in the morning, my feam wishes me Goodnight as I walk into my bedroom.
“Zalia, are you awake?” I hear Nyx ask from the other side of the door. “I am now.” I answer and she apologizes as she walks into my room. “Your Dad came by and wanted to know if you were okay.” She says as she sits down next to me on the bed and I tell her I will link him after I have told them about last night.
During breakfast I tell my team about my night and I show them the picture I took of Rick and his Beta, “Maybe we should post those pictures online.” Hestia muses and Gaia tells her it will lead back to us, a risk none of us is willing to take.
“Get the rewards, I want to know what it is.“Twilight says and I get up to get my backpack. “This is the reward from Moon Storm Pack.” I say as I place the box on the table. “This one is ours.” I say as I place the sachet on the table. I sit down next to Gaia before I grab the sachet, I open it before I turn it up side down and a delicate golden necklace falls on to the table.
“Fuck, that is the necklace the little Prince gave to his Mate.” I mutter and I wonder what will be in the box. it has to be a reference to the first Royal I pull the box towards me and I slowly open it to reveal the ring the first Royal gave to his Son when he took over, becoming the first King of our Kingdom.
The five of us just stare at the jewelry in front of us for a few moments, before Gaia asks me where I will keep it safe. “I will link Dad and ask him to come over. I will explain things to him and ask him to keep them in the safe in his private office.” I respond and all four of them agree with me, it will be saver to ask Dad to keep the jewelry in his safe.
“Dad, when you have time I would like to see you at Gaia’s place.“I tell him though the mind–link. I will be there in half an hour, Donovan is being an ass.“Dad answers me and when I tell the girls what Dad said we all have a good laugh. Donovan has always been an ass, especially if he thinks that he isn’t at fault.
I remember when we were about ten years old he had told Gaia she couldn’t join us for training and when I had asked him why she couldn’t he had said, “Because she is an Omega.” I had taken a swing at him and he ran into the living room to hide behind Luna Hester but when she found out why I was angry with him she forced him to train Gaia himself.
He tried to get from under the punishment, but it only resulted in the punishment to get more sever. Alpha Brad made him train all the Omega Pups for a month and every time he whined about it Alpha Brad added a day, the end result was that he had to trai them for three months. He never learned from it though, he still whines about his punishments and Alpha Brad still adds to his punishments.
Gaia has a copy of the Kingdom on her laptop and there is a red cross running through Moon Storm Pack and Moon Stone Pack. Tonight I will take out Sundown Pack, but I will not go to the Palace for the reward. I will save that for another night, I want to get at least two rewards at the time and that means I will have to take out another Pack.
“Fuck.” I hear Dad mutter and I see that he is staring at my chest. “You are still in the competition.” He says and I tell him that I took out Donovan and Gibson. “You took those pictures and taped them to their doors.” He says with a huge grin on his face.

I tell him that I figured out what the extra challenge is and what I did during the night, “I need you to place the items in the safe in your bedroom or in your private office. I don’t want them to get lost or for someone to accidentally find them.” I say as I show him the contents of the box and the sachet.
We all have a good laugh as I tell them how I spooked Leander and that he woke Deimos and Eryx to help him search, “Make sure you write down their patrols from last night, it might help you the next time you go to the Palace.” Dad says and Gaia asks me to tell her what I remember about it.
Dad takes the box and sachet with him and the five of us go over the patrols at the Palace. I assume they will switch their strategy at some point, but for now it will come in handy knowing how they run patrol at night.
