Chapter 254 Dressed
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 z 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 change.
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 send 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 wouldn’t be 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.

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 fist 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 Thor 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
- 100.
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 L 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.
