I only see Morgan during our meetings with King Damon. Other than that, we don’t cross paths, and every time she needs backup, she asks for Amir’s unit. It is annoying the hell out of me because a part of me wants to apologize for not following protocol, and the other part still refuses to call her Commander.
She treats me the same as the other Commanders, but I know that her unit started training with Amir’s unit a few months ago, and Midnight has been in a foul mood ever since. He won’t tell me why it bothers him so much, and the only time he is pushing forward is during our meetings with King Damon. My Lycan is starting to drive me up the wall.
In the past four months, I have woken up a few times after sleeping through the night, and I haven’t been able to find out why. Midnight isn’t helping much either; he ignores me most of the time, and when he pushes forward, he just stares at Morgan.
In two weeks. King Damon will be visiting a few Packs, and he will announce at today’s meeting that my team and I will accompany him. He always announces it a few weeks ahead of time, just so the other Commanders know that my other unit members might call them if they run into trouble. I chuckle when I realize that this will be the first time Morgan will hear she has an addition to her unit for a week.

I walk into the meeting room, and like every other time, Morgan is already there. She sits in her usual with her files in front of her, and when she looks at me, she has a smirk on her face. “Good morning. Commander Jaylen,” she says, and 1 grumble something under my breath as I pass her to greet King Damon and Casimir.
Amir has the same kind of smirk on his face when he greets me and sits down in the seat on the other side of Morgan. Midnight growls sofily in my head. They talk about their training schedule from last week, and I am surprised to hear that Amir asked Morgan to take some of his assignments. It sounds like those two are really getting along.
King Damon asks for everyone’s attention, and we all look in his direction before he starts speaking. Two weeks from today, I will leave for an annual visit to some of the Packs in my Kingdom, and as every time, I will take a team with me as an extra protection detail. Morgan, I will explain this to you as this is the first time you are hearing about it.
I always take a team from one of the units with me. They hear more than I do or more than my Royal Guards do. I rely on that team to report everything they heard to me. I want to be able to form a clear picture of the Alpha and his Pack–not just the image they try to show the outside world,” King Damon says.

As King Damon tells me why he takes a unit team with him, the smirk on my face gets bigger. A few days. ago, Waylen came to me with an interesting story. One of Amir’s unit members had told Waylen that on Monday, the Commanders would be informed that King Damon would be going on a trip and that he always announces which team will accompany him a few weeks ahead of time.
The guy had told Waylen that he always selects Jaylen and his team, and Waylen, as curious as he is, had asked why Jaylen. When the guy had told him it was because he always chooses a team from the best unit, Waylen almost peed his pants laughing his ass off.
A few other members of Amir’s unit had been listening, and one of them had asked Waylen what the hell was so funny. “Do you think that Commander Jaylen still has the best unit?” Waylen had asked, and all of

Jaylen might have had the best unit for over a decade, but right now, my unit will give him a run for his money. When I had asked Amir about it, he had confirmed what Waylen had told me, but like the members of his unit, he laughed his ass off when I asked him the same question Waylen had asked them.
So here we are, waiting for King Damon to tell us who will accompany him this time, and I am not so sure it will be Jaylen as usual. “Thank you for explaining. Your Majesty,” I say once he is finished explaining
“This trip will take me to Crescent Moon Pack. I want to talk to the Alpha about his neighbors. After that, I will visit Silver Heart Pack, and the last Pack on my list asked for witnesses about a year and a half ago, but on the morning of the ceremony, they called it off.
I never got a clear answer as to why they called it off or why they made the request in the first place, but I want answers. So my last stop during this trip will be at Blue River Pack,” He says, and now I am really hoping he will still choose Jaylen to join him. I am not sure I am ready to face my family.
“As always, it will mean that the Commander that will accompany me will leave behind his or her other unit members. I expect every Commander to help them out if they call upon you. I hope your unit can manage a week without you, Morgan. He says, and I hear soft growling in my head. Looks like Jaylen doesn’t like the fact that I got picked by King Damon.
“I think they will be glad they don’t have to listen to me for an entire week. I am afraid the other Commanders might quit when they find out that my unit can do without a Commander,” I say with a smile on my face, and I see a few Commanders smiling back. They know my teams are very capable, and we rarely ask for backup.
My head is spinning at the thought of going home, but I make sure that no one can see the turmoil that is going on in my head.
“Morgan, that also means your unit will have a light workload this week and the entire week off before we
leave, King Damon says. The Contain all the information on the Packs we will visit. I want you and
your team to read them, and if you have any questions, Elder Larson will provide you with answers.”
1 take the files from him, and as I sit down again, I can tell that Amra is a bit agitated, but she doesn’t say a word. I get called into King Damon’s office last, and we go over every assignment from the past week. He smiles when I hand him the assignments that had been assigned to Amir’s unit.
*Commander Amir already told me you took a few of his assignments. How did they go?” He asks, and I go through each file with him.
As I walk back to our building. I ask Amra what is wrong with her, and once we are on our way up the stairs, she says, “The King doesn’t know from which Pack you are. I doubt he would have given you that assignment without asking if he knew.
You read the information Moura has on our bloodline. I think they asked for witnesses to prevent you from having a future like our ancestors. I still don’t like what happened to you, but I am starting to understand a few things, and I think it is time they knew where you went.” Amra says, and I ask her why she thinks King Damon is unaware of my birth Pack.
“If they had reported you missing, they would have provided a picture of you, and one of the Elders would have
recognized you. He would have informed the King, and he would have asked you questions before informing our parents.” Amra states, and I know that she is right.

My entire unit is waiting for me, and they look surprised when they see I don’t have that many files in my hand. “King Damon has decided to take me and my team with him,” I say as I place the files on the table, and

“Our last stop will be Blue River Park,” I say as I sit down, and for a while, no one says a word. After half an hour, Flora is the first to grab a file, and soon she hands it to Beck, indicating it is perfect for him and his team. “I am heading to the Archives. I need some additional information. He says, and Amra tells me to go
with him.
Once we are in the Archives, she tells me to look for the section where they keep the missing person reports, and I understand why she wants me to find it. She wants to know if they reported me missing or
“What do we do if they didn’t report us missing?” I ask Amra, and for a moment, she is quiet.
“they didn’t report you missing, it might not be because they don’t care: it might be because they do care. What if that report found its way to the wrong person?” She asks, and a shiver runs down my spine when I think about that possibility.
After walking around for a few minutes, I find the section I am looking for. Fuck, Amra. There are a lot of files in here, and some date back hundreds of years. Does that mean they were never found?” I ask, and I open a file that is on top of a desk. My eyes widen as I read from which Pack this report came.
I decide to take it with me, and on a sheet next to the computer, I sign my name and which file I took with me. I keep walking through rows of filing cabinets, and every once in a while, I open a drawer to look at the files inside. It takes me an hour to find out how the filing system works, and I quickly find the filing cabinet that would hold my missing person report, if they ever reported it.
