Amra pushes forward when I see our territory come into view, and this is the first time in my life I am sering our territory from a different perspective. It looks amazing. I look at the guards as we get closer to the gate, and Lam shocked by the way Hudson looks. Casimir seems to notice the change in me.
“What is it, Morgan?” He asks quietly, and I tell him that the male talking to the Royal Gamma is Hudson. “Pup number five, and he looks like he has been through hell and back.” I whisper. Casimir tells me that that is normal if he has been worried about me all this time, and I want to jump out of the SUV to wrap my arms around him.
Before I can give in to my urges, Hudson has gotten into the SUV with the Royal Gamma, and I watch the front porch as we approach the Pack–house. They all look like shit,” Amra says to me. “Morgan, put them out of their misery. Take your time to come to terms with what they did and why, but don’t allow this to hurt any of you anymore,” King Damon says, and I nod my head as I open the door.
I step out of the SUV as I keep my eyes on Mom, but I have to stifle a smile when I realize that she doesn’t recognize me. I cut my hair, I have a tan from all the time I spend outdoors, and with the help of Skylar and Faith, I learned to apply makeup. Not to mention that I am wearing my Commander’s uniform and just stepped out of the King’s SUV.
The moment I take a step forward, Dad looks at me, and I see tears rolling down his cheeks. “Morgan?” I hear him whisper, and then Mom looks at me. Ashton is fast enough to catch her before she can hit the floor. Hudson wraps his arms around me, and I hear him softly crying as I look around me at our Pack- members,
All of them have guilt written all over their faces, and I understand that they blame themselves for what happened–not just my parents and siblings. Dad is the next one that wraps me in his arms, and I let my tears fall for the first time since I woke up after my Sweet Sixteen.
It takes a while before my entire family has hugged me, and Ashton is the last one to hug me, whispering I am sorry” in my car over and over again. Ashton steps back, and I hear Dad gasp as he looks at me. “You’re a Commander in the King’s Army?” Dad asks me.
“Yes, Alpha Tate. She is a Commander in my Army, and you can be very proud of your Daughter. I have
ever met someone like her in my life, and that covers quite some years,” King Damon answers. “Why don’t we go to your office, Alpha Tate? I think there are a few things we need to discuss. What you tell your Pack after that is up to you.”
My team follows us into the Pack–house, but Danica closes the door behind me, and I know they will stand guard outside. Mom pulls me down on the couch next to her, and I know she wants to apologize. “Mom, I know you are sorry for what happened, and I know none of you intended to hurt me.
Moura, one of my team Captains, has an obsession with unusual bloodlines, and after my unit found out about my hearing, she told nfe that some bloodlines have gifted Wolves or Lycans,” I say, and I tell them how she narrowed it down to two bloodlines and how Chaya figured out from which Pack I was.
“I know it is normal for females in our bloodline to get a gift from the Goddess when she turns seventeen, but apparently, I am abnormal. Amra showed up a week early, and we decided to leave when your Lycans refused to acknowledge her–even Titan didn’t acknowledge her.” A roar from Titan interrupts me.
“I knew something was wrong, but I couldn’t figure it out. Amra, I am so sorry for hurting you. It might have

“Thank you, Titan. We needed to hear that, even though King Damon already explained it to us,” I say as I wrap my arms around his neck, and after he sits down in his own seat, I turn towards Dad. I have the gift of hearing, which developed overnight. I have the gift of sense, which developed within the following week.
I have the gift of hearing thoughts, which developed in that same week. I also have the gift of perception, but that didn’t manifest itself until recently. I will not tell you how I found out about that one, just know that I have only gone through it once,” I say, and Dad stares at me with eyes as big as saucers.
Everyone starts talking at once, and I just lean back in my seat as I listen to what everyone is saying. “Do you remember what happened when you told Hudson what your Mate should look and be like?” Mom asks, and the entire room goes deadly quiet while I am laughing my ass off
Casimir gets up out of his seat and places himself between me and Mom. “Luna Giselle, will you please tell me what Commander Morgan is looking for?” He asks, and Mom looks up and down before she says, “Well, she didn’t describe you. And I know exactly what Casimir is thinking.
“She said he had to be taller than her Dad, he had to have Ashton’s blond hair and Colton’s ice blue eyes. He had to have Fletcher’s sense of humor, he had to have Hudson’s ability for cuddles, and Landon’s ability for loving her, Mom answers him, and I know by looking at Dad, Ashton, and Colton that she described Jaylen to a T.
The look on King Damon’s face tells me he came to the same conclusion, but when Casimir turns towards me. I know he has realized it too. I will explain this later to you, but now something is starting to make sense,” Casimir says in my head. “You seem to have it all figured out, but what if your fated Mate had green eyes?”
He asks.
“She’ll reject him,” My Brothers say in unison, and Casimir gives me the same look Mom had given me when I gave her that answer. King Damon luckily understands it was a joke, and he is in stitches. Dad smiles at me while Mom just shakes her head, and I tell Casimir there are only two reasons why I would reject my
Mate.
“If he is known for sleeping around or if he is known to be abusive, that is when I will reject my Mate, and no one will be able to stop me,” I say as I look at Casimir, and he nods his head. “Those reasons I can. understand. I would reject my fated Mate for the same reasons, and I would like to see anyone try to stop me. He responds.
“Sweetheart, I want you to listen to me. You already told us that you know we never meant for the things that happened to happen, but unfortunately, they did happen, and there are no words to tell you how sorry
are for causing you to feel unwanted.
You were our Little Miracle, and you still are, but you are also a Commander in the King’s Army. If I could turn back time, I would have done it in a heartbeat–until I saw you again. Seeing you in your uniform and the way your team followed you, I think this is where you were meant to be. I hope you will visit us every chance you get, and I hope you will find your fated Mate one day, but you have outgrown this place.” Mom
says.
I think about Mom’s words; she is right. I never would have taken those tests if things hadn’t changed. I never would have left without talking to my parents. Ashton opens the door for an Omega to bring in some coffee, and I smile when I see that there is a latte macchiato caramel on the tray she is holding. That is one thing I do miss at the Academy–a nice latte macchiato with or without caramel,” I say as I snatch it off the
tray
Casimir looks at me with a pout, and I giggle as I turn the latte away from him. Don’t even think about it, Your Highness. You saw what I did to former Commander Carl, I say as I look at him, and he raises his hands in surrender. Landon asked me what I broke, and King Damon asks him what he meant by that.

“Your Majesty, I believe all this could have been prevented if my baby Sister had just given in to her anger. Ashton is her senior by twelve and a half years, but even he isn’t stupid enough to piss her off. She has broken four noses, fourteen ribs, two wrists, one upper arm, three eye sockets, one ankle, one elbow, and two legs among the six of us,
If she had taken a swing at any one of us, we would have known not to ignore her again, and I can guarantee. you we would have asked her every single day if we did something wrong–until she would have knocked us out for asking that question every day,” Landon answers.
“Landon, you forgot four knees, I say, and Casimir looks at King Damon. “Dad, I want her as my personal bodyguard during the Summer Gala and the Autumn Ball. At least she can break a few bones and get away with it. He says, and I tell him he can count me in.
I would like to see the looks on a few faces when I show up. I may not be a girly girl, but there is one thing Mom taught me, and that is how to dress for the occasion.
