I am glad Jaylen is holding me in his arms. I feel that I could kill that fucking Alpha, and I sigh in relief when I hear him running from the room. Amra is pacing in my head; she has trouble calming down, and I know how to get her to calm down. “Jaylen, can you allow Midnight to come forward? Amra isn’t calming down,” I ask him through the mind–link.
The moment Midnight pushes forward, I can see Amra stop dead in her tracks, and I allow her to push forward. This way is the fastest way to calm a Wolf or Lycan down. It only takes moments for Amra to calm down, and through the mind–link, she thanks Jaylen and Midnight for giving her the comfort she needed.
“You are welcome, Princess,” Midnight answers her, and if a Wolf or Lycan could blush, she would have turned a little red at his words. I turn in Jaylen’s arms to face King Damon, and I see him staring at us with a small smile on his face. Looks like he approves of me and Jaylen.
I take a look around the meeting room to see that it is just King Damon, Prince Casimir, Roan, Jaylen, and I. “Morgan, I know I told you that you could keep your title, and I have no intention of going back on my word. However, Casimir and I believe it will be best if Jaylen accompanies you from here on out.
We know that Midnight will give his life to protect you and Amra. If this Alpha tells anyone else what you are, there will be more coming after you. I would feel a lot better if you weren’t out there without your Mate, even though I know you both won’t know for sure until the next Full Moon–and only if Jaylen is able to let go of his past,” King Damon says.
“Your Majesty, even if Jaylen doesn’t let go of the past, I believe today proved to him that Midnight is right. They wouldn’t have been able to calm Amra down if they aren’t our Mate, and Midnight wouldn’t have been able to link us if they aren’t our Mate. So I think there is enough evidence to confirm to Jaylen that we are Mates,” I reply.
Three pairs of eyes look at us, and I can tell that they are happy to hear what I said. We can link one another because we are part of the King’s Army, but our Wolves or Lycans can’t mind–link one another, and only a Mate can calm down an angry or distraught Wolf or Lycan. Midnight was able to do both, which is a strong indication that we are Mates.
“Thank you for explaining that. I did pay attention during my classes on the Mate–bond, but I didn’t remember this specifically,” Jaylen says through the mind–link. But Jaylen didn’t seem to be the only one that forgot about that part of their classes on the Mate–bond. “Damn, I can’t believe I forgot about that,” I hear Roan mutter.
“Don’t feel bad about it, Roan. I believe that Morgan is the only one in this room that actually remembers her classes on the Mate–bond,” King Damon says, and Prince Casimir nods his head to indicate he had ‘forgotten as well. I am thinking about my unit as they talk about the Mate–bond, and I realize that it might be a bit complicated to have Jaylen follow me around.
“Your Majesty…” I stop talking when I see an annoyed look on King Damon’s face. “Morgan, with you being Jaylen’s Mate, I want you to call me Damon in private. When Casimir takes over from me, Jaylen will take over from his Father, and that means that you will become the Royal Gamma female,” King Damon says.
“Oh, Fuck,” I mutter under my breath, and I hear the others chuckle. “Thanks for pointing that out, Damon. I already thanked Jaylen for putting an extra target on my back, but this is a little more than I was expecting,” I mumble, and all of them go quiet until I start laughing my ass off.
It takes us all a few moments before we stop laughing, and Damon asks me to continue with my question. “I

that before we can move forward,” I say.
Jaylen pulls me with him as Casimir starts to talk, and as we sit down in the seat across from Casimir, Roan sits down next to us. We talk about the best way to make this work without it affecting our units, but we keep going in circles. “Couldn’t you combine the units?” Amra asks me, and for a moment, I let it run through my mind.
“Okay, Morgan. Out with it,” Damon says, and I smile at him when I realize he noticed I had zoned out. “Amra made a suggestion, and I needed a moment to think about it, but I think it would be the best solution. We can combine our units. It will make it a little easier to assign the files to the right team, and we both have team Captains that don’t need us to hold their hand.
It will also guarantee that I have enough protection with me at all times, something you demanded before we left Blue River Pack,” I say as I look at Damon, and everyone is thinking about the suggestion Amra made. “I think that will be the best solution, but what if Jaylen has to leave your side?” Casimir asks.
I get out of my seat to walk to the doo
and pull it open to reveal Tristan standing in front of it with his back to the door. “He hasn’t left his spot since we walked in here. He will not leave my side as it is his job as the future Royal Delta to protect me,” I say before I thank him for standing guard.
After I have closed the door, I walk back to my seat, but Jaylen seems to have another idea when he pulls me onto his lap. “I think Amra’s idea is the best solution, but I want Ace to stay with Morgan as well. Both of them are trained to protect the Beta and Gamma female, and this will give both of them a chance to train on the job,” Damon finally says.
A moment later, the nens, and both Ace and Tristan walk into the meeting room. “You asked for us, Your Majesty,” Ace says as they stop near the chair Jaylen and I are sitting in. “Yes, I want Jaylen to stay with Morgan as much as possible. If he can’t stay with her, it will be your job to protect her. It may not be necessary, but I want us to be prepared.
If Alpha Idiot tells anyone about Morgan and what she is, there will be more Alphas coming for her. Until the day Jaylen takes over from his Father, she will be at risk, and there is no way in hell I will take any chances. Am I making myself clear?” Damon looks at Ace and Tristan as he speaks to them, and both nod their heads.
Jaylen
I know that Ace and Tristan will keep her safe if I am not around, but I wonder if I will be able to tell that she is my Mate when the Full Moon arrives. There is no pull towards her, at least not between our Human sides, and I doubt Amra feels it the way Midnight does.
We don’t feel the sparks or tingles everyone always mentions, but I think Morgan and Midnight are right about us being Mates, and that has to do with all the evidence of the Mate–bond. My sleeping better in her bed, Midnight calming Amra down, and Midnight and Amra being able to mind–link one another.
Having Morgan in my arms feels natural, and Midnight has been curled up in my mind. I can’t remember the last time he felt this content in my head. I am too deep in thought to hear what is being said around me, and I let my mind wander to the future–a future I never thought I would find after Lynah.
My first priority has and always will be my Pups, and I always feared my fated Mate wouldn’t be able to accept it. But I think Morgan will kick my ass if I ever put her before my Pups. I hear Midnight chuckle at my thoughts, but he knows that I am right. Morgan is the kind of female that would never make me choose between her and my Pups.

thought when Casimir said that Thora was wounded and you didn’t respond whatsoever,” She says as she looks up at me.
I smile down at her as I think about my reaction to Thora being injured if I had been paying attention. “If I had been listening and Thora had been wounded, I am afraid you would have ended flat on your ass on the floor. I probably would have forgotten that you were sitting on my lap,” I tell her honestly, and I hear chuckles around me from my friends.
I see Morgan turn towards Casimir as she says, “Now I understand why you told me to brace myself. You knew what would happen if he was paying attention. Well, at least I learned early on that you are an ass,” But we can all hear the teasing undertone in her voice, and I pull her closer to my side as we walk out of the meeting room.
