Jaylen It doesn’t mean every Wolf or Lycan would reject their fated Mate for having Pups with another, but it usually means they are second change Mates and not first Mates. If it concerns a first Mate they almost always reject their fated Mate for two reasons, reason one will be for not waiting for their fated Mate and the second reason will be the Pups. Our last hours with my Pups pass too quickly and Thora is reluctant to let go of Morgan, “I promise I will come back and that might be quicker than you think.” She says to Thora as she hugs her, before she turns her attention to Dalton and even Dalton doesn’t want her to leave. After saying goodbye to my Pups and my Dad we drive back to the Academy, Tristan hands Morgan two files while telling us this is all the additional information their Brothers found on White Rock Pack. Morgan hands me one as she starts going through the other and it is a good thing we are sitting so close together, if we hadn’t approval yet to take them down the file I am reading would be enough. Morgan’s file probably contains something similar, I can feel the anger radiating from her and Midnight pushes forward to help calm them down. Ace has a smirk on his face as he looks from me to Morgan, I think it is very clear to him as well that Morgan is my Mate and I truly hope tonight it will be clear for me too. The Elders have arranged for all units to have dinner in the main building, after dinner they want us to gather in the Ballroom and there we will stay until midnight to find out if there are any fated couples within the King’s Army. Danica sent me a message yesterday with the request to return on time for them to get ready and she already has everything Morgan will need. After spending so many nights with Morgan in my arms I don’t think I can ever go back to not holding her in my arms at night, I don’t think I can go back to a life without her close by my side. Morgan has closed the file she was reading and has placed her head on my shoulder, “Nervous for tonight?” She asks me and I decide to tell her the truth. “I don’t think it is nerves about finding out that you are my Mate, I think it is more nerves about what might happen in the future.” I say before I tell them about the conversation between my Mother and Madelyn, making Ace slam on the breaks and I am glad I have an arm around Morgan’s waist. “Jaylen, please tell me that you were kidding.” Ace says as he turns towards me, but I know he can tell by looking at my face that I wasn’t kidding. Fuck, Roan was right.” Ace mumbles and the look on Morgan’s face tells me that she is hearing his thoughts, “You better start talking, Ace. Or I am going to ask Morgan what you were thinking.” I threaten him. His eyes widen as he looks at Morgan and Tristan is laughing his ass off, wait until I get to threaten him. “Roan had been suspicious about both your Mothers being so close after what Kate did to Kieran and the fact that Madelyn started to invite Jo-Anna over more and more. He was never able to get his Mother to explain why she stayed friends with your Mother. Roan did say he suspected his Mother tried to get you and Jo-Anna together and the reason he thought that is that Jo-Anna once told him your fated Mate would never accept your Pups.” Ace answers me and I feel sorry for my friend. Roan lost his Mother before Thora turned two and he has lived with this secret all these years. At least now I understand his never-ending optimism about me finding my fated Mate and his persistence in telling me to never give up hope on finding her one day. I send Roan a message to let him know I am aware of the concerns he had about his Mother, my Mother and his Aunt, I also let him know that next time he should just tell me. Danica is already waiting for us when we get back to the Academy and Morgan just looks at me for a moment before she gets out of the SUV, she doesn’t look to happy with Danica waiting for her. “Something wrong, Princess” I ask her as I get out of the SUV as well. “I am not a girly girl, that’s all.” She answers me. “Looking forward to tonight, Danica?” Ace asks as he walks to the back of the SUV and Danica tells him she is as she pulls Morgan away from me. I grab my own bag and Morgan’s back out of the SUV before I head up the stairs, I see her disappearing in the room Danica and Faith share. Deacon pulls me into the room he shares with Emilio and he tells me to go take a shower before I get changed in to the outfit Danica got me, “Hold it. Danica got me an outfit for tonight?” I ask as I look from Deacon to Emilio and both of them nod their heads, “Not just for you but for all of us.” Deacon says as he points at the five clothing bags hanging on the closet door. Tristan and Ace just stare at him as I walk over to the bags, each of the bags has a name tag on it and I decide to take a shower before taking a look at what I will be wearing tonight. I am not sure what to expect but if it is something I don’t like I have a back-up in my bag and I know it is something I will feel comfortable in. I don’t waste much time in the bathroom and I walk back in to the bedroom with a towel wrapped around my hips. The others walk into the bathroom the moment one of them is done and even though we don’t say a word we all wait until we are all ready to get dressed. Opening the bag with my name tag on it I am surprised to find an outfit I can actually live with and without hesitating I get dressed.
