Chapter 266 Again
Roan
Finished
After everything settled down in the Palace, everyone returned to their stations and every unit returned to the Academy, Morgan and Jaylen decided to stay at the Palace to calm down Thora, Dalton was more pissed than anything else and after a round of sparring with his Dad he had calmed down. Thora was scared every time she found herself without her Dad and Morgan, she would even start to scream if it took to long for one of them to come back.
Gillean’s Grandparents were amazing thou, they kept reassuring Thora that Jaylen and Morgan would return soon and by the time she went to bed she was willing to sleep in her own bed. Gillean’s Grandparents moved into the room across from Thor and they told her she could come to them whenever she needed them, something I think Thora is going to need for the time being.
Once Dalton and Thora were in their beds Morgan told me to follow her and I walk with her down the stairs to the dungeons, some of her unit members still guarding Jo–Anna’s cell. Jo–Anna growls the moment she sees us and she lunges for Morgan the moment the door opens, but a member of her unit is fast enough to grab Jo–Anna by the throat. He shoves her to the back of the cell, before he steps out of the way to let Morgan do her job.
At 575 Morgan is nearly a foot shorter than I am, but even I wouldn’t think about crossing her. Being a Commander in the King’s Army doesn’t just mean that you know how to use your brain, it also means that you can go up against the strongest Warriors the Army has and I hope that one day I get to see her in action. “What the fuck do you want?” Jo–Anna asks as she looks at me, but I just lean against the wall with my arms folded in front of my chest.
“I am going to ask you the questions.” Morgan says as she looks at Jo–Anna. Morgan doesn’t say anything at first and I wonder what is going on, until Smoke reminds me of the fact that Morgan can hear thoughts. Jo–Anna might refuse to answer any questions, but she can’t stop herself from thinking and that might just give us what we need,
“WHAT?” Jo–Anna yells when Morgan hasn’t said a word and I think it annoys the hell out of Jo–Anna, she isn’t used to people ignoring her. I always thought Jo–Anna was a nice and kind person, but the older I got the more I started to understand and now I know she has two sides to her character. The one she shows the outside world and the one she is showing us now,
Jo–Anna keeps yelling at Morgan to release her, but Morgan doesn’t respond to any of it and I can see that Jo–Anna’s Wolf is trying to push forward. It is no use with the silver and Wolfsbane imbedded into the cell, it only results in her getting weaker and it seems that is what Morgan was hoping for. “Did you drug Dalton and Thora?” She growls as she releases her Alpha aura, forcing Jo–Anna on her knees and if it hadn’t been for my Lycan hearing I wouldn’t have heard her confirm Morgan’s suspicions.
The next moment Jo–Anna collapses to the floor and that is when Morgan reels in her Alpha aura. “Chain her with silver chains and await further orders from Beck.” Morgan says as she walks out of the cell and I quietly follow her back to the King’s floor. Neither one of us says a word as we walk up the stairs and I wonder if she was able to hear some of Jo–Anna’s thoughts.
The moment we walk into the living room she tells Damon that Jo–Anna confessed to drugging Dalton and Thora, causing Jaylen to roar loud enough to wake up his Pups and both of them come running into the living room. Jaylen is 6“5 but a big softy when it comes to his Pups, I think they can even calm down Midnight if he is in a full blown rage.
“I am fine, just heard something I didn’t want to believer He says as he looks at Thora and he tells her what Morgan just said. Dalton leans towards Morgan as he asks, “Did you find out anything else?” Morgan looks

around the room and seems to be comfortable with the people around her, “Yes, she was thinking about who was supposed to pick the two of you up. She had figured they would be a reliability, she never thought anyone would find the two of you.” Morgan answers.
The next moment the door opens after a short knock on the door and a male I saw this morning walks in, “Orson, take Enzo with you. I want your teams to head to Silver Moon Pack and bring in Lynah and her Mate, from there you will head to Blue River Pack.” Morgan orders and without asking a question he walks out of the room, closing the door to the King’s floor behind him.
After telling us what she found out by listening to Jo–Ama’s thoughts, Morgan leaves with Jaylen and their Pups to their own floor. Gillean asks Damon if he can have a look at the Archive in the morning, “Gillean, you are a Royal. You don’t need to ask permission. Casimir says before he wishes us all goodnight and I can hear Gillean mumble. “Need to get used to that.” Or something along those lines.
Dad offered Gillean a room on our floor and at first he didn’t want to intrude, but my Dad can be very persistent when it comes down to it. Gillean follows me as he asks me if I have a Mate, “You think my Mate would stay on our floor when I am on the King’s floor?” I ask him and I hear him chuckle before he tells me I have a good point.
After getting to my room I go through my evening routine and for a few minutes I stare at the ceiling. trying to wrap my head around everything that happened today. It doesn’t take long before my eyes become to heavy and even though I try to fight it, I lose the battle against sleep. Slowly drifting of to my usual dream, a dream of my future with my Mate and like every other night I am unable to see my Mate. The only thing I do see is my Dad with a small Pup on his lap, a Pup that calls him Grandpa.
As I grab a cup of coffee my mind wanders back to my dream, I try to remember as much as I can and I can make a new note on my dream because this time it was clear I am the Royal Beta. So if this dream is an indication of my future, I will have a Mate with at least two Pups and Casimir has taken over from Damon. Not that Smoke and I are putting much faith in it, because that kind of future isn’t possible for us
“Goodmorning, Uncle Roan.” Thora says as she wraps her arms around my neck from behind and I smile as I see Damon pout from the head of the table. “Don’t worry. I didn’t forget about you, old man.” Thora says as she jumps onto his lap and every other person that would have said that to Damon would be on their way to the dungeons, but he has a soft spot for Thora. Cesar shakes his head as he gets himself some coffee and within minutes everyone is sitting down for breakfast.
“When will Jo–Anna be transported to Blue River Pack? Damon asks and Morgan looks at her phone to tell him they left an hour ago. She has barely put down her phone or it starts ringing and the look on her face at seeing the caller–ID doesn’t predict much good. What is it, Flora?” She asks when she answers and thanks to our Lycan hearing she doesn’t have to repeat what is being said.
“Six Lycans attacked the SUVs that are transporting Jo–Anna, they are well trained and we have trouble keeping them away from Jo–Anna.” We hear Flora say and Morgan asks if she recognizes anyone. For a few moments all we can hear are growls and roars, the sound of something colliding with an SUV and then we hear something we never would have thought. “Get the fuck away from that SUV, Bruce.” Is yelled in the background.
Dad and Kieran run from the room while we are still listening to the phone call, it is clear to hear that whoever Bruce brought with him had the same kind of training he did and as I listen to the fight progressing I look up to see–Morgan relaxing in her seat. She has a smirk on her face as we hear someone say, “Three down, three to go.
Moments later the line goes quiet, only to hear Flora say, “We got them, Commander.”
“Good, continue your way to Blue River Pack. I will inform them that you are on the way.” Morgan says

before she disconnects the call. She immediately presses a few buttons on her phone, a second later we hear her greet someone named Landon and Jaylen gets a murderous look in his eyes. Dalton starts laughing when we hear him ask how his baby Sister is doing, I forgot she mentioned she has six of them and Landon happens to be one of them.
“The welcoming committee will be waiting for them, tell King Damon we got quite a few answers from Nigel’s Father. Full report should be in your inbox by tomorrow morning” Landon says before they say their goodbyes and she giggles just before she kisses Jaylen on his forehead. Damon is staring at Morgan,
I think I might have missed a piece of the conversation because I don’t understand why.
“1 send another team to Blue River Pack with Jo–Anna, just after midnight. Everyone knew she would be transported this morning and I didn’t want to risk her escaping.” Morgan answers his unspoken question and I get reminded of the reason why she is a Commander, yet again.
