Morgan "Jaylen, what if Midnight keeps telling you that because you already met her and didn't recognize her as your Mate because of the past?" King Damon asks, and I understand that they know more about his past. I look at Jaylen as everyone waits for him to answer King Damon. I see all kinds of emotions flash through his eyes, and I realize that whatever Lynah did to him, it hurt him deeply. It hurt him enough to close himself off from his feelings, making it impossible for him to find his happiness, and I wonder if he understands that everyone deserves the chance to find happiness with their Mate. "Jaylen, I don't know what happened, and I understand it if you don't want to tell me. I want you to understand that most females will listen to your story. I doubt a female would reject you just because of something that happened in the past. I can't guarantee it won't happen; that depends on the female, and I hope she is willing to listen to you. Kaia apparently knew something about your past; she was thinking about your Pups and someone named Lynah. Other than that, I don't know what happened between Lynah and your family, but looking at you, I can tell that she hurt you deeply. I just want you to heed Midnight's warning: let go of the past before it destroys everything," I say before I get up and walk out of the meeting room. Jaylen Could Morgan be right? Would my Mate take the time to listen to me? Would she understand I had no control over what happened? The questions keep running through my head as I watch Morgan walk out the door, and I look at Damon to find him deep in thought. "Jaylen, how many of your unit members know about Lynah?" He asks me, and I tell him only my own team is aware of what she actually did. "Then how did Kaia know about it?" He asks, and I just stare at him. I have no idea how Kaia found out about the details. "I will look into her past; maybe we can find an answer there," Roan says, and I know if an answer can be found in her past, he will find it. He proved it years ago when Jaya had shown up at the Palace claiming to be King Damon's Daughter. She had a very convincing story, and she even had test results showing that he was her Father. Roan had felt that something was off, and he dove into her past. He went to the Pack she was born in, and when he returned three weeks later, he had good and bad news for Damon and Casimir. The good news was that Jaya wasn't his Daughter, and the bad news was that Damon did have a Daughter named Jaya, but she had died in a Rogue attack at the age of six. It had taken Roan a little longer to return because he found out that Jaya's Mother had died in the same attack, but she had left a three-year-old Son behind. Damon took him in, and Casimir treats him like a little Brother; he even carries the title of Prince. The fake Jaya was banned from the Kingdom after she told Damon and Casimir how she had found out about his Daughter, and once a year they visit the grave of the real Jaya.After I say my goodbyes to my friends, I walk out of the main building and head to the tree line to walk around the terrain, taking some time to think about everything I heard today. First, I try to wrap my head around the fact that Morgan is a gifted Lycan. She has multiple gifts, and that puts a target on her back. I remember the words she spoke just a little while ago. She said my Mate would listen to me when I find her. I just hope I can find the courage to tell her about Lynah and what she did to me and my Dad. It is that I have my Pups to remind me of it, or I might have had a hard time believing that someone could do that to another person. Midnight is awfully quiet, but I think his mind is on Morgan and the target on her back. He never liked it when females were targeted for whatever reason, but I think it is worse with Morgan, and a part of me understands him. Morgan is an amazing woman; she is good at her job, and she has resolved many disputes since she became a Commander. Maybe I should ask her to listen to my story, and then she can tell me if my Mate might reject me because of it. I just need to find the courage to tell her. I still hate the fact that I never caught Lynah in the act. Sometimes I blame myself that she was able to pull one over on me, and what I hate even more is the way she hurt Dad. The only good thing that came out of it are Dalton and Thora. I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world, and I hope my Mate will be able to accept them as a part of my life. "She will not only accept them as a part of your life; she will love them," Midnight says, and I ask him how he can be so sure. "The Goddess wouldn't have paired the two of you together if for a moment she thought she would reject you or your Pups. The Goddess understands that you, Dalton, and Thora are a package deal," He answers me with confidence in his voice. He is probably right, but it doesn't change the fact that my dreams were shattered by Lynah. I always wanted to find my fated Mate, to have all of my firsts with her, and I really mean all of my firsts. Another thing that will be difficult to explain to my Mate is that I am still a virgin and the Father of two Pups.
