Morgan We are on our way back to the living room when I hear rapid footsteps approaching from behind and I can sense that it is a Werewolf that is coming our way, I decide to ignore it as we are in the Royal Family’s private wing. I listen to Thora and Dalton arguing about whether or not Thora should become a Commander in the King’s Army. “Jaylen, I heard you were back and it looks like you finally got those two a nanny.” I hear a voice coming from behind me and the way Dalton and Thora react tells me I will not like what I will find behind me. I slowly turn around to see a female in a dress that barely covers her ass and I can tell she isn’t too pleased to see Thora and Dalton. “Jo-Anna, this is Commander Morgan. Morgan, this is Jo-Anna. Jo-anna is Roan’s Aunt.” Jaylen says as he introduces us and he moves a little closer towards me. Jo-Anna looks me up and down before she returns her attention to Jaylen, but Dalton has stepped in front of his Father. “Dalton, why don’t you show your nanny to the servant Quarters and take your Sister with you.” Jo-Anna says and I feel Amra pushing forward, she doesn’t like the way Jo-Anna is talking to Dalton. I can hear Midnight growling and by the looks on everyone’s faces, I am the only one that can hear him. Jaylen’s hand is on Thora’s back and I place mine on top of it, calming Midnight down. “Jo-Anna, Commander Morgan isn’t a nanny.” Jaylen growls at her, but it seems that she has a rather selective hearing and the way she is eyeing my Mate is rubbing Amra the wrong way. “Jo-Anna, do you live at the Palace or do you and your Mate live elsewhere?” I ask with a fake sweet smile on my face and I hear Midnight chuckle in my head, “Way to go, Princess.” I hear Jaylen mumble in my head. If looks could kill I would be dead with the look Jo-Anna gives me and I think it surprises everyone when she finally answers me, “I rejected my Mate, he couldn’t give me what I deserved and that is status. Jaylen will be my chosen Mate.” Jaylen looks from Jo-Anna to me and he shakes his head when he sees the smile on my face. “I might be mistaken, but for Jaylen to become your chosen Mate he has to agree to become your chosen Mate and I have a feeling Jaylen is still waiting for his fated Mate. I also think it is safe to say that he would never take you as a chosen Mate, not now that he knows you are a power-hungry Wolf.” I say as I look into her eyes, letting her see Amra pushing forward. “Jaylen, tell that…” “Aunt Jo-Anna, I don’t want to hear another word from you. I have told you before to stay away from Jaylen and I believe King Damon told you to stay out of our private wing, unless Dad or I invite you here.” Roan interrupts her and I see her Wolf pushing forward. “I will get what I want and you can’t stop me, little Pup.” Jo-Anna growls at Roan and I can’t help but join Amra in laughing uncontrollably. “If she thinks she can take on a Lycan, she is really stupid. Even Dalton can defeat her and he doesn’t have his Lycan yet.” Amra says. We sensed King Damon coming as Jo-Anna was talking and the moment he steps into view, she becomes a different female, “King Damon, it is so good to see you. I came to see my Brother-in-law and Jaylen just introduced me to one of your Commanders. I think it is great that you allow a female to lead one of your units.” She says in a soft voice. Jo-Anna doesn’t seem to notice the two Guards that are behind her and King Damon asks her if Royal Beta Tom invited her over. “Your Majesty, I wouldn’t be here if he hadn’t.” She answers and I feel Thora tensing beside me, I place my hand on her lower back to run circles with my thumb. Thora steps a little closer to my side and after a few moments she rests her head against my side, relaxing more as I keep my hand on her lower back. “Jaylen, escort Morgan to the living room. I will be there as soon as I have dealt with Jo-Anna. I want to discuss the Full Moon party at the Academy Sunday evening.” King Damon says. He turns his attention back to Jo-Anna, “I know that Tom didn’t invite you and this time you have crossed a line. Jo-Anna, you are banished from our private wing and if you ever set foot in here again the Guards will escort you to the dungeons instead of your room.” King Damon says before the two Guards grab her arms to lead her away. I know King Damon will not follow us until he is sure that Jo-Anna is led out of their private wing and as I sit down on a couch I pull Thora onto my lap, “Do you want to talk about Jo-Anna?” I ask her through the mind-link before I remember I can’t link her, but her head snapping up at me tells me she heard me just fine. Amra had to explain it might have something to do with my bloodline or with Jaylen being our Mate, but she wasn’t sure which one it was. So I decided to test the theory of it being my bloodline. I chose Royal Beta Tom as there was no connection between us and even as the Royal Beta, he had no mind-link to the King’s Army. I waited until everyone was gathered in the living room. I still had Thora on my lap as it seemed to keep her calm, “Tom.” I said and he jumped from his seat looking around the room and Thora was in stitches because I told her what I was planning to do.
