Jaylen She turns around to walk into my arms, and I pull her close to my chest to let her calm down. Midnight purrs as I bury my nose in her hair to take a moment to calm myself down as well. Midnight forces me to inhale her scent as he needs it to calm him down, and I just enjoy holding her in my arms for a few moments. I feel relieved to know that he failed to claim Morgan as his Mate. I don't know what I would have done if she had fallen for it or if King Damon had ordered her to go with him to find out if they were Mates. Just thinking those thoughts makes me feel angry. It makes me feel uncomfortable, and I squeeze her even closer to my body. I hear a growl coming from behind Morgan, and I know that the Alpha has just gotten back on his feet. "I suggest you go home and forget about claiming Commander Morgan as your Mate. If you come anywhere near her, the Royal Guards have orders to take you out," Casimir says to the Alpha, and he runs out of the meeting room. I thank Skylar, Beck, and Moura for their help, and King Damon asks Beck why he thought he could find the reason for the Alpha wanting Morgan as his Mate. "I had overheard a conversation between Nigel and one of the others that didn't make it, and I thought I remembered him saying his Uncle was also an Alpha, but I couldn't remember from which Pack. The part about him knowing about the Blue River Bloodline was a bluff, though. I just hoped he wouldn't try to deny it when I confronted him with it, and I am glad he thought that I had hard evidence against him," Beck answers, and I hear Morgan giggle into my chest, a sound I could get used to hearing for the rest of my life. "Then you better let go of the past, or you might not be able to tell on the next Full Moon that she is our fated Mate," Midnight growls in my head. Morgan 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.
