Gold Moon: Mated To The Beta Twins Chapter 198: On My Watch

Morgan’s p.o.v.

“After this meeting is over, I will have a one-on-one conversation with each of you, Commanders. I will find out if any of you ever used these same tactics, and the consequences will be severe.” The King says.

“Commander Morgan, how is Moura doing?” Casimir asks, and I see Jaylen smile when I tell him that her mate was able to calm her down.

We sit down to start our meeting, and Elder Larson places the files that were meant for Carl in front of me. It looks like we will have enough work for the entire week.

“Commander Morgan, because this is your first meeting, I will explain a few things.” The King says.

“You can proceed, Your Majesty. I am well aware of how these types of meetings work. If something is unclear, you will know.” I respond.

There are two files in front of him, and he grabs the first, a case that was resolved with an unusual result. It is a case Jaylen’s unit worked on, and I see surprised looks on everyone’s faces when they hear how they resolved it.

The second file is also a case Jaylen’s unit worked on, but they weren’t the first unit to try, and they didn’t find a solution either. Two Packs are fighting over a piece of land connected to their territories, but neither Alpha is willing to compromise, and we are waiting on the first report of casualties.

“Your Majesty, how long has this been going on?” I ask. “I would also like to know which packs are involved.”

“This has been going on for two years, and the packs involved are the Red Forest pack and the Silver Dawn pack,” Jaylen responds to my questions.

“One more question, Your Majesty. What reason did they give for wanting that piece of land?” She asks, and I am surprised none of us ever asked that question.

“There is no reason in the file, and my unit never thought of asking that question,” The King answers after looking through the file, after which Amir and Jaylen confirm the King’s answer.

“Do you mind if I take a crack at this, Your Majesty?” I ask and hold out my hand as the King reaches toward me with the file in his hand without asking any questions.

I think we might be able to resolve the matter. After the meeting ends, I walk out of the room with a stack of files in my hands, and I know I will not see the other Commanders until our next meeting.

My mind keeps wandering back to the meeting. I still don’t understand where my Alpha aura came from, but it was amazing to see the piece of shit cowering on the floor.

I know we will never see Carl again, and I really hope that no other Commander ever pulled this stunt before, because I doubt the King will take it easy on them.

Looking at the files I am holding, I know our first visit will be to Silver Dawn Pack, but before we leave, we will go through the other files to see who goes where after our first assignment. I smile when I see everyone waiting in the living room on the top floor, and the first thing I tell them is about my apology.

“Okay, the King is going to question every Commander. The reason for that is that I knocked out Carl and threatened his life if he ever tried it again; he is currently in the dungeons.” I say, and Moura thanks me for taking care of the Asshole.

“No need to thank me, it is my job as your Commander to look out for you, and that goes for each and every one of you.” I look around the room to make sure that they know I mean every word before I hand out the files to my team Captains and ask them to take a look at them.

“I want you to tell me which team will be best suited to handle it,” I say as I start reading the file for our first assignment. I can see that both units tried their best to resolve it, but they forgot to ask the important questions.

An hour later, I hand the assignments to the best-suited teams, and it doesn’t surprise me that every team Captain knew which team would be best suited to handle it.

“Our first assignment will be a unit assignment, two Packs are after the same piece of land to add to their territory, and neither Alpha is willing to make a compromise. I want to know how long that territory has been vacant. I want to know what the reason for wanting the territory might be.

We will head out there and ask both Alphas to join us at the territory they are after, and we will listen to both sides. After that, I will give them a solution to their problem; if they don’t accept it, I will inform the King and let him deal with it. As King, he can order them to accept the solution we provide, but it will always be a last resort.” I tell them.

We all pack a bag, knowing we won’t be home for a few days, and I see Flora place something between the door of our wing before she locks it. “Why are you doing that?”

“A few of us have this feeling that someone has been entering our wing. It started about a week ago, and I want to know if our feelings are correct.” She answers me.

“If the card is still in place when we return, we were mistaken and have to figure out what could have given us uneasy feelings. If the card is on the floor, then someone has been in our Quarters. Which means that we need to investigate further.” Faith explains.

“Good thinking, but next time come talk to me,” I tell her, and we head out to the SUVs, heading out to Silver Dawn Pack.

“Find a place to pull over. I could use something to eat.” I say through the mind-link, and after a few minutes, the first SUV takes a right turn.

An hour before we reach the territory, we make a stop at a diner, a short drive from the main road. Hidden away between some trees, I see a small wooden structure, and for a moment, I fear it won’t be big enough for us.

While we enjoy our meal, we talk about what Danica and Orson discovered through our mind-link, because we don’t want anyone to overhear us. Once I have all the answers, I need to talk to the Alphas, and I also have the solution for this dispute.

“What was your life growing up, Commander?” Waylen asks out of nowhere, and for a moment, I think about how to answer him.

“Different from most high-ranking shifters. I spent most of my time with my father or my brothers, helping them with their tasks to the best of my abilities. Filing papers, getting coffee, or answering the phone.

Not that my father was too fond of that specific task, though. I thought I knew how to answer the phone in his office, but I hadn’t counted on a toddler’s speech.” I look at Waylen for a moment.

“What happened, Commander?” He asks, still looking at me.

“Hello, Boo Livel. Who you want?” I say with a soft, high-pitched voice, and I see his jaw drop. “Luckily, it was one of my father’s oldest friends, and he had a good laugh about it. I thought he was making fun of me and hung up.”

I quietly eat my lunch while the others try their best to stop laughing and failing, of course.

“He called back after a few minutes, and this time my father answered. I got scolded for hanging up on the guy and was no longer allowed to answer the phone. Unfortunately for my father, that didn’t stop me from doing it anyway.” I continue before we pay our bill and head out again.

Our first stop is at Silver Dawn Pack. I get out of the SUV to walk over to the Guards at the gate.

“Tell your Alpha to be at the corner of your north-east border in an hour, no excuses,” I say, and I walk away before he can answer me. I get back into the SUV to drive to Red Forest Pack.

At Red Forest Pack, I give the Guard my message for the Alpha to be at the corner of their north-west border in an hour, and again, I don’t wait for an answer, getting back in the SUV to head to the territory they are fighting over.

When we arrive at the agreed-upon location, I see a lot of Warriors on both sides of the border, and it looks like they are about to go to war, well, not on my watch.
