Morgan “Is something wrong, Dad?” Roan asks him and when Tom tells them what happened every head in the room turns in my direction. “Sorry about that, Tom. I needed to test a theory and this was the fastest way to do it. I asked Thora a question through the mind-link without thinking about it, until she looked at me and I realized I shouldn’t have been able to do that. Amra gave me two explanations and I chose to test the one that made the most sense to me, the other theory might have proven to be correct under different circumstances.” I explain to them and Damon is shaking his head with a smile on his face. “I will tell you about Jo-Anna when you tuck me in tonight, Morgan.” I hear Thora reply and for the moment I will just need to wait to find out what Jo-Anna did to make her and Dalton feel uncomfortable around her. “Looks like we can add another gift to the list.” Casimir says . I ask Dalton what he has learned in school so far in regards to bloodlines and I am not really surprised to find out that Dalton and Thora both have knowledge about different kinds of bloodlines. Like every other Pup they have learned about the bloodline of an Alpha, Beta and Gamma, the most common bloodlines there are. An Alpha, Beta or Gamma bloodline becomes stronger with each generation if they choose to accept their fated Mate, but taking a chosen Mate will not strengthen their bloodline and with multiple chosen Mates in a bloodline it will eventually weaken. Dalton and Thora, unlike most Pups, know about the special bloodline that sometimes run in a Pack.Even though Dalton and Thora asked a million questions already they haven't run out of questions yet, especially with the discovery of my newest ability and the next few hours we discuss every one of my abilities again. I see the smile on Dalton's face grow the more I show him, especially when I start telling him what others are thinking. Jaylen I can look back on a successful weekend, Morgan wasn’t afraid to open her mouth to anyone and put a few people back in their place. After hearing Dalton tell us what they knew about special bloodlines, it sounded like my Pups had been paying more attention during classes than I did, they seemed to know exactly what Morgan meant when she told them who her Father was. Morgan answered all of their questions and I was surprised when Thora asked Morgan to tuck her in, but knowing how long it took I guess they had a long conversation about something. Morgan refused to tell me what it was about, she just told me she would deal with it and I know she will take care of whatever it was Thora told her. In a few hours we will return to the Academy for the Full Moon party and even though I am more convinced than ever that Morgan is my Mate I am still nervous. Not for finding my Mate, but nervous for finding out Morgan isn’t as comfortable with my Pups as she tells me and Midnight growls in my head. Midnight knows I am nervous about that, but he doesn’t agree with me and even though I believe him a small part of me is still scared. It will always be something I will fear until the day I have marked my Mate and even then it might stay in the back of my mind, the thought of my Mate never being willing to take care of my Pups. I never told anyone about this, but I overheard a conversation between Roan’s Mother and my Mother. My Mother had returned to the palace about a year after Lynah’s trick, she wanted to rebuilt her relationship with me and Dad had told me to give her a chance. My Mother and Roan’s Mother had been walking in the gardens and when they sat down on a bench they hadn’t seen that I was lying in the grass not far from them, “I still can’t believe what she did to Jaylen. His fated Mate will never accept him and his Pups.” Roan’s Mother, Madelyn, had said to my Mother and I waited for my Mother to respond. “I know his fated Mate will never accept them, I rejected my fated Mate a few years ago because he already had Pups and he didn’t hesitate to accept the rejection, he knew I had a Pup of my own with another male. She might string him along and try to get rid of them by sending them away the first chance she gets.” My Mother answered. Both of them were quiet for a while and then I heard my Mother ask Madelyn, “Would you have accepted Tom if he had had a Pup when the two of you met?” I was holding my breath as I waited for Madelyn to answer the question and her answer has been in the back of my mind ever since, clouding the meaning of the Full Moon every time. “I would probably act like I accepted it until he had marked me and then I would start to make preparations for them to be sent to a boarding school or something like that. After all they have no right to his title and might become a threat to my own Pups someday, it isn’t a risk I would be willing to take. If he would fight me on sending them away, I would make sure it looked as if they would start trouble every time he wasn’t around and then I would make him chose after a while. By that time his Lycan wouldn’t allow him to reject me anymore and that would make it easier to force him to choose me instead of his Pups.” Madelyn had answered. I am reminded of that conversation every time a Full Moon approaches and even now after spending this much time with Morgan I fear she might do what Madelyn would have done. It still amazes me that Madelyn would do that to her fated Mate, but then again it didn’t surprise me as Wolves and Lycans were known not to accept another’s Pup easily.
