Chapter 30 Wink

Finished

For the past few days, we have been making plans to take down the leadership of White Rock Pack, and I still can’t believe that one of their victims survived, even if it was barely. Morgan refuses to talk to Beck about it; she wants to wait until Moura gets released from the infirmary, and she needed to explain to all of us that Moura would be able to calm Beck down.

Damon has given our unit the weekend off because he knows we have been working our asses off, but I have this feeling Morgan and I will be the only two that will have other things on our minds. Ace and Tristan will join us when we go home for a visit, but I know both of them have already asked their baby Brothers to get them some more information.

I think they will be working while Morgan and I will enjoy some time with my Dad and my Pups. Dad knows I am bringing Morgan, but I didn’t tell him why, and I wonder if anyone of them can figure it out without me telling them. “You hovering all over her will tell them enough,” Midnight snickers, and I am afraid he has a valid point.

Emilio and Deacon are waiting for me and Morgan outside our wing, and they walk us to the SUV with Ace and Tristan inside it. Deacon decided it was best if they stayed here to keep an eye on Moura and Beck. Amir had heard rumors that his Father was planning on coming to the Academy, and we have been taking precautions to keep them both safe.

“See you when you get back, Commanders,” Deacon says as he closes the door, and Ace drives off, heading to the Palace. I am not sure if Morgan has made the connection yet, and I can’t wait to see the look on her face when she realizes she will be spending the weekend at the Palace. I doubt most people will understand that I live at the Palace.

It isn’t a long drive, but Ace decides to take the scenic tour, and I am glad he made that decision. Morgan is leaning out the window while hanging over my lap, and the wind blows through her hair as I point out a few landmarks. I keep my eyes on her face that holds a huge smile.

Suddenly, she shoots up straight as she looks around her. “Jaylen, isn’t this the road that leads to the Palace?” She asks, and I see both Ace and Tristan with a smirk on their face. “Yeah, it is,” I say as I keep my eyes on her face, hoping to see it the moment she puts two and two together, and Tristan has turned around in his seat to watch her too.

“Fuck,” Morgan mutters as I see her eyes widen, and Tristan is laughing his ass off. She looks at me as she punches Tristan’s arm. “Why didn’t you tell me you live at the Palace?” She asks, and I ask her where she suspected the future Royal Gamma would live.

‘She buries her face in my chest as I wrap my arms around her, and Ace chuckles as he slows down at the gate. The guard quickly waves us through when he sees me in the backseat. “Turn around, Morgan. The Palace will come into view, and I think you will like to see it,” I say, and she slowly turns in my lap to see what I am talking about.

The Palace is nothing like the buildings they describe in fairytales. It is more like a huge mansion, or maybe better put, multiple mansions connected to one another around a garden. Made of light yellow bricks with white bricks framing the windows on every floor and a huge double door opening into a lobby that makes you think you are in a hotel.

No one gets into the Palace without going by the reception. No appointment means no entry, and there are several guards on duty to make sure you leave the premises if you don’t have an appointment. I guide

All of us are wearing our uniforms, and every guard shows Morgan the respect she deserves, but the females at the reception are a different story. “Do you have an appointment, little girl?” Mandy asks, and I can see that one of the guards is mind–linking someone. If I had to guess, it is Damon.

“I don’t need an appointment as I am a Commander in King Damon’s Army. Every Commander can come to the Palace to see him if it is necessary, and King Damon will always make time to see one of his Commanders. Maybe you should ask for a copy of the book on Palace protocol, Morgan replies, and I hear a few chuckles through the mind–link.

“Everyone without an appointment gets escorted off the premises, and there are no exceptions, not even for someone that claims to be a Commander in the King’s Army,” Mandy says, and I have a lot of trouble controlling Midnight. Mandy turns towards me with a huge smile on her face. “Hello, Jaylen. Home for the weekend, I see. If you need company, just let me know,” She says.

“Wow, I thought this was the Palace, not a brothel,” Morgan mumbles, and Midnight has forgotten about his anger towards Mandy immediately. He is rolling around in my head. “Mandy, report to the Academy immediately. Elder Larson will find you another position. I don’t ever want to see you in or around the Palace ever again,” Damon says.
