Golden Moon: The Beta Twins' Contracted Mate

Chapter 254 Jo-anna Is Back

Gillean I am not easily scared and when Jaylen’s Lycan was roaring in my face I didn’t blink, I was surprised about the way he treated Commander Morgan though. She didn’t seem to upset as she walked out of the office, she probably understands a lot more than I do and I wonder if she will join us when I am going to show them what I found so far. Everyone looks at the screen as I show them what I have found so far, but I still haven’t found footage of Jo-Anna leaving the Gamma floor. I hear Midnight ask why Morgan isn’t with him and Mace tells me to inform the Idiot that he hurt his Mate, but I never expected to see Midnight curling up to a ball in the corner of the office. I keep going over the footage until I see her walking out of the door on the Beta floor, but she is all by herself. I turn the laptop around to show the others what I found and I hear Roan growl as Jo-Anna comes into view. “How did she get from the Gamma floor to the Beta floor without a camera picking her up?” Roan asks as he sits down in a chair in front of the desk, I tell him I have watched every piece of footage there is and I don’t have an answer to his question. “Jaylen, have you ever played hide and seek as a Pup on the Gamma floor?” I ask as I walk towards him and I sit down in an armchair not far from him, giving him time to think about my question. We all hear a soft No coming from his mouth and I ask Casimir and Roan the same question, both of them giving me the same answer as Jaylen. “We would use the public Wing of the Palace, there are much more places to hide than in this Wing.” Casimir explains.Something tells me that we are overlooking something, but I can’t figure out what it is and as I walk back to the desk I ask Damon if there is a blueprint of the Palace I can access. He turns the laptop towards him and I realize that he is the only one with access to the blueprint, so not many people will know about any hidden places if they are there. I look at the blueprint of the Gamma floor, but I can’t find anything wrong with it. I check the blueprint of every floor in the Royal Wing and again I come up empty. I ask Roan to talk me through their search pattern as I take another look at the blueprints, there has to be something I am missing and Roan tells me they started their search in Jo-Anna’s Quarters. “Why would you start your search there?” I ask Roan and I find out that Jo-Anna leaked an article to the news about her and Jaylen. They wanted to take her to see Damon, because they knew she had finally crossed the line. He walks me through the rest of their day and how they found out that Dalton and Thora were missing. I ask him if there was a part of the Palace they didn’t search, but as I already suspected Roan is good at his job and he looks a little angry when he tells me that they checked every part of the Palace. “Sorry, but I had to ask. Most Alphas wouldn’t allow any one to search their floor, not even if bloody footprints lead to the door.” I say and with a smile Roan accepts my apology. “Jo-Anna just got back.” I hear someone say over the mind-link and I see Midnight jump up, “Midnight, can I ask you something?” I ask before he can walk out of the office and as he turns towards him I ask him what he would advise someone in his situation. He tilts his head to the left as he thinks about it and I can tell when he finally understands why I asked him that question. He starts pacing the floor again as Tom and Roan go over their morning routine with Kieran and a moment later the door opens to reveal a female that is dressed rather inappropriate for a visit to the Palace. “What happened?” She asks as she grabs Jaylen’s arm and I keep watching her as Roan tells her that Dalton and Thora are missing. If I had blinked or looked away I wouldn’t have seen the small, short smug grin on her face and now I am really convinced that she had something to with it. “Where is their nanny?” Jo-Anna asks and Commander Amir asks her who their nanny is. Jaylen shakes his head as he tells Amir that Jo-Anna thought Morgan was hired as a nanny for Dalton and Thora. Amir has trouble keeping a straight face as he ask Jo-Anna why she thought a Commander in the King’s Army was hired as a nanny and even though she says she made an honest mistake none of us believe her. Jaylen is pacing up and down the office again, while Jo-Anna tries to grab his arm again and again. Roan steps in front of his Aunt and tells her to sit down, but she pushes him aside as she tells him that someone needs to calm down Jaylen. “Jo-Anna, sit down.” Damon says as he steps in front of her and for a moment I believe she will try to go against him as well, but she is smart enough to understand that she is better off doing what Damon said.
