Richard's p.o.v
----
Grinning like a mad man Richard said with a cocky arrogant tone "how cute this little sleeping beauty" while he mind linked Mayhem "sweetie if you do not wake up now i will eat all your bacon and pancakes, maybe even all of your secret stash of dried bacon" To everyone's surprise there was a growl and a pillow flying at top speed towards Richard's head as it actually lands in his face he was unable to dodge out of shock as a soft weakish but angry voice reached their ears " you goddess forsaken bastard". They all looked in horror at Mayhem who was sitting up and panting like she just ran around the world, sweating because she has a temperature rise and forcing herself to sit up, her eyes were slightly dull still, her hair was a complete mess.While turning their heads back to Richard they found him laughing
"oh i mind linked her if she did not wake up this instance i would well that's up to her too tell" he held his stomach while laughing as a tear dropped from his eyes "welcome back princess" Dom quickly catches May while she fell backwards from the rush leaving her body, rich just laughed it all off until they all heard May's stomach growl they all burst out in laughter at that moment while Mayhem just shrunk away in embarrassment. Richard took off his backpack and held out a bag of dried bacon as he received a growl through his mindlink "you bastard! you really were stealing it all !!" He smirked at May with a slightly evil grin "you know you want it" he said teasingly while opening the bag. Weakly Mayhem begged for him to give her that bag. but for Rich it wasn't enough he held up a piece of dried bacon but before he could continue his teasing Pierce stopped him and took the bag from his hand. Earning himself a scoff while Rich steps out of the room taking the piece of bacon too his lips and closing his eyes to think of his memory of Mayhem.
*"DOMINIC!"he shouted angry while stomping his feet through the hallway looking for Dominic, growling with each step and holding May's arm tighter while she is happily munching on dried bacon not even bothered that she is grabbed and dragged. Richard stops and holds up a munching Mayhem towards Dominic"she stole my bacon !" the rage he was feeling was terrible especially since Mayhem just keeps munching and not denying what she did he glared at Dominic while Dom just stayed calm "princess where did you find that?" May looked up at dom and mumbled not taking the bacon away from her mouth "hig bwahemwent"( his basement)
Dom sighed and turned to face richard "you kept it in your basement?" Richard looked in full surprised "eh…. yea… i dry and smoke it myself but that was not my point"he points too the bag in her hand and her stuffed pockets "she's stealing my bacon" Dom sighed and looked at mayhem with a stern look in his face "May stealing is bad you return what you have left too Richard now"but mayhem looked at him with big sparkly eyes and she was determined to make them let her have it, May had water in her big eyes not taking her gaze of either of the two but not moving nor speaking, but slightly starting to sob as she keeps her glare on the two.
Richard sighed and mumbled "there is no besting you is there?" he keeps looking into Mayhems eyes which by now he seen tears roll down on them, he knew what her love for bacon meant since they both share that passion but still she stole it without asking he sighed and set Mayhem down on the ground"ugh… fine you can keep it. BUT next time just ask" mayhem instantly flashed him the brightest smile she could muster and climbed up on his arm to give him a kiss on his cheek*
Richard looks up at the light in the in the hospital hallway and smiles"eavesdropping ?"he moves only his eyes towards Ryzen " I never knew she loved something so much" they both laugh a little at that before turning serious Ryzen looked curious" why did you stay with her even after Dom's bad period?" Richard sighed and looked in his eyes and he answered as sincere and honest he can" because believe it or not. She saved my life that day.." he paused and sighed deeply " even tho she most likely did it for the bacon. You see .. after I found out she stole some, I saw black smoke coming from the tiny window… yup .. basement was on fire but the damaged was contained, the fire was stuck Inside a barrier" Ryzen looks at him with disbelief " we both know I don't have that power and the only in there was May"

Ryzen's p.o.v

He nods at Rich and shakes his head afterwards "if only she knew how much she saved us and protected us, hell i didn't even know Athena was a rogue" he chuckled while thinking of a inside joke from his wolf only to make Richard look at him questioning his sanity. Grinning at Richard "shadow said she sure loves to save our bacons" at that moment Dom and Pierce could no longer hold down their laughter and Ryzen together with Richard joined them. Ryzen looks at Dom and smiled "she resting?" Dom just nodded and they sat down before he dropped the bombshell "shadow has something to say so I guess I'll let him but don't let him go through that door … " they all nodded as Ryzen's eyes turned black showing it wasn't Ryzen in control no more " I can provide all the evidence needed, I don't want to put the princesses in danger. So can we make the court thing happen?" Before they could answer shadow started speaking some more
" we all know that the princess loves us all unconditional and it's mutual so I don't think y'all can disagree, I already contacted the elders and others presented and they agreed not to make Mayhem appear and put her through all the trauma." Dom nodded but couldn't shake this eerie feeling" still also need to find all the other woman and girls that are missing" Rich put a hand on Dom's tense shoulder and spoke " actually I think the one with mayhem in it was the only operational, we did find two locations that were prepping. my trackers informed me that the others were "he fell silent as remorse and fear shot through his body before talking further he took a deep breath" I told them to bring all documents, and take the scientist to my cellar and the woman who were barely alive to the clinic in the nearest turf, the alpha's already agreed and documented their recovery." Dom looked up at his friends with a faint smile then looked at shadow who was still in control " can you handle it?" Shadow scoffed with the most wolfish grin he could muster in human form "what you mistake me for chaos? " He said trying to lure out the alpha confidence that was hiding in Dom earning him a snack against his head from Dominic and he just laughed. Shadow switched back with Ryzen he smiled back at Dom " I got work to do" and with them he gave them all a nod and walked away with Richard's beta that was waiting.

Dom's p.o.v

"Hey Rich?" He gently lays his hand on Richard shoulder "can you bring all documents to my study?" He turned too Pierce " let's make everyone ready for tonight we're holding both trials, but first my father's, oh Pierce .. dont make May use her May command .. not even we can go against it"he rolled his eyes and walked away from Pierce together with Richard while slowly making his way down to his office, walking up to the mansion and opening the doors, he sighed and looks at the floor which he notices the strain they had to endure of the years he called out one of the omega's "please be a sweetheart and call a contractor, the floors need to be redone" the small petite woman nodded and went back on her way "certainly alpha"
Dom walked through the hallway talking with chaos "chaos, what do you think. i want to rebuild both packs back into one, as of now we are blood moon and avalanche moon"
Chaos chuckled "well there are two alpha's and without May's consent you can't afford too "
Dom looked deep in thoughts and then suddenly "i know, i can have her agree and i'm pretty sure she will. Considering we both will stay alpha's in my opinion. just she will become back up incase something happens to me" he could see Chaos think "it might work" Arriving at his office he opened the doors as and slowly stepping in to be greeted by a piles of paperwork and boxes fully loaded. he let out a annoying irritated growl "I did not expect my office too be overloaded too the point of no way getting too my desk"
