Chapter 137 Our Advantage
Morgan’s p.o.V.
Okay, I believe I have said this before and I will say it again, I am not a girly girl.

This Introduction Ceremony is going to be the death of me, it wasn’t easy to get all the decisions made, and there was a lot to consider for the venue and the Ceremony,
Our dress code was simple: Festive Cocktail Attire. From there, we had to make a few tough decisions because we needed to ensure that no one would show up in too revealing outfits. So after a few tries to get it right, we finally had the dress code completely done.
The dress code states: Festive Cocktail Attire; no black tie or gala attire allowed. Dress; no more than two inches above the knee. No unnecessary showing of skin. No tie or pocket square. No Sneakers.
We added the “no sneakers” line beneath it or my Mate would have shown up wearing sneakers, not on my watch.
Now we have to pick out our outfits for the Ceremony and Giselle has been showing me dresses that make me want to puke. I know she is just teasing Casimir, but she does know how to pick them.
“Morgan, who is on your death list?” I hear Mateja ask from behind me and I turn around with a smile on my face.
“Congratulations, Amir. If you ever need someone to help you dispose of his body…” I say teasingly to Mateja and Amir pulls her close to his chest.
“To answer your question, Mateja. Our future Queen.” I finally answer her and Giselle is theatrically objecting, knowing full well that I would never harm her or let harm come to her.
Mateja wants to say something else when Giselle turns her tablet towards the two of us and we both stare at the dress, this one is just too hideous. It is a knee–length dress with beading all over the bodice and it would probably look cute on someone, but not in neon pink.
“I think I am starting to understand it, need help to hide her body?” Mateja asks as she leans towards me, a horrified look in her eyes. “I would rather go back to my lost memories.”
None of us says a word, because we want to give Mateja the chance to make up her mind on telling us about what she remembers or if she would like to keep that to herself. I hope that she will tell us at least some of her regained memories, but she should at least tell Amir if she remembers anything about getting the poison from her Mother.
“Mom rejected Dad in front of me and at first he refused to accept her rejection, but when she threatened to feed me the poison he finally accepted her rejection. Only for Mom to force the poison down my throat anyway, she didn’t want me to remember how happy I had been with Dad.” Mateja whispers.
“Do you remember why she rejected your Father?” Casimir asks and for a moment I fear that she never knew the reason.
“Because he is a Mountain Lion. She asked him why he hid it from her, but according to Dad he never did. He told her that he never shifted at home, only while he was on patrol and she never wanted to join him. She never joined the Pack run, nor did she help protect the Pack during an attack.

type of Shifter.” Mateja answers him.

Giselle decides to lighten the mood by holding up her tablet again, showing Mateja a dress I had already seen and it is even more hideous than the neon pink dress.
“How many Lunas will show up in this?” Giselle asks her and Mateja is at a complete loss for words.
She looks over her shoulder at Amir, who does his best not to laugh out loud, and as Mateja turns her attention back to the table, I see a twinkle in her eyes.
“Is it available in burgundy?” She asks Giselle, who immediately start tapping away on her tablet.
“Yeah, but not all sizes are available.” Giselle replies. “What size are you, Mateja?”
I can hear a few groans coming from behind us and the three of us start laughing the moment we see Amir’s face. The guy really thought that Mateja would order that dress, but he still needs to learn a few things about his Mate.
“What is the dress code anyway?” Mateja asks and Forrest hands her the test invitation, we wanted to see if it would look good on paper and it actually works.
“Jaylen.” Mateja states as she points at the “no sneakers” line on the invitation and I see Amir leaning forward to see what Mateja is talking about.
He chuckles as he nods his head, we all know that Jaylen would never wear anything else if he could get away with it. Too bad that I won’t allow him to wear sneakers to one of the most important Ceremonies in our lives.
“I think you have covered all the bases, even though the line on showing skin might be a small challenge. I mean, what is unnecessary showing of skin?” Mateja asks.
Giselle shows her a dress with a bare back that prohibits someone from wearing panties, then a dress that leaves the skin from the breasts to the waist uncovered. After that, she pulls up a dress with a V–neck that stops just below the belly button and if someone doesn’t stop her, she will find many more like those.
“Point taken. What will happen if someone doesn’t follow the guidelines?” Mateja asks and Giselle gets an evil look in her eyes.
“Either the entire Pack heads home or they can wait in the dungeons until the party is over.” Giselle says and I hear Mateja giggle.
I can guarantee you that Giselle will throw anyone in the dungeons that breaks our rules, we have the law on our side and we are going to use it to our advantage.
