Hunter’s P.O.V. I am floating in the dark with the events of the past twenty-four hours flashing by me and I start to concentrate on one thing. Pulling it forward and everything connected to it, slowly putting the pieces together. Little by little I am able to link pieces together, somethings make sense, somethings don’t and some seem just completely ridiculous. I have only a few things left to connect and one by one I pull them closer. I see a pair of dark brown eyes like my Mom’s, I see a stern look in them like my Mom and then I see a pissed off expression just like mine. I don’t know who he is, but I know with certainty that he is family. The dark starts to become lighter and I hear voices around me, not that I can make sense of what they are saying. I hear a soothing voice near my ear, telling me to take my time to deal with my thoughts and I wonder how this male knows what I have been doing. I open my eyes and close them immediately against the blinding light, but I know that I was looking into dark brown eyes. I slowly open my eyes to let them get adjusted to the light and when things come into focus I look into the face of the man in my mind. I don’t fear him and without thinking twice I slowly place my hand on his cheek, “Hello, who are you?” I ask him and I see his eyes becoming watery. “I am sorry if I hurt you in any way.” I whisper and he shakes his head before he pulls me into his arms. “You did nothing wrong, Princess. These are happy tears.” He mumbles into my ear and I see Jayce nodding his head, letting me know that it is the truth. “Pumpkin, how are you feeling?” Mom asks and I tell her that I am fine. Mom asks the others to leave and they do so without any argument. “Hunter, this is Alpha Drake.” Mom says as she looks at the man sitting next to me and quickly she tells me that he is my Grandfather’s Brother. He looks at me funny as I start to giggle, “Does Grandmother know?” I ask and Alpha Drake asks me what I mean. I tell him the same story I told Dad and my Brothers and he actually starts laughing, before he tells me she never knew. “Dang, now things are starting to make sense.” I mumble and both of them stare at me. “I think the others need to be here as well, Mom. I hate repeating the same thing if I don’t have to.” Once everyone is back in the office I turn to Alpha Drake, “What do I call you? Alpha Drake seems a bit overkill.” I ask and he tells me I can call him Uncle Drake just like Mom does. “Uncle Drake, my Father was an ascendant to the throne if the circumstances would ever be in his favor. Mom is the Daughter of a male and female from an Alpha bloodline. What that makes me exactly I am not sure, but it explains me being a Lycan and shifting at the age of eleven. It also explains why I can kick their asses.” I say as I point at my Brothers and Uncle Drake and I start laughing at the expression on their faces. Mom tells me that Grandmother had lied to her and that my Grandfather is still alive. “Uncle Drake, do I look like him?” I ask and he nods his head. “You have the color of his eyes and you take after your Grandfather and great Grandfather when it comes to your facial expression, but according to your Stepbrothers you take after me as well in that department. Your Mom has her eye color from me and your great Grandmother, Mom always said she was glad that Aspen didn’t look like her Mother. Both of you have my Mom’s hair color and I know she will be thrilled to meet you.” I gasp at the revelation that my great Grandmother is still alive and I quickly ask about my great Grandfather, smiling he tells me he is still around too. “I doubt if there is anything that can kill that man and I have seen him with the worst kinds of injuries.” I see Dad’s eyes glaze over and after a few seconds he turns his attention to Uncle Drake, “Drake, my Beta just linked me that you have a guest.” He says and Uncle Drake asks if his guest can be brought to the office. Drake’s P.O.V. When I saw her walk on stage last night I nearly fell of my chair, our Queen is my niece. Then I saw Princess Hunter and my Lycan nearly lost it, she looks so much like my Brother and I quickly sent him a message to get to the Palace. He didn’t ask any questions, just a confirmation that he was on his way and I chuckle as I realize the Queen’s Mother is not present. When she returned to our Pack she refused to tell us where Aspen was, but we didn’t give up our search. I was informed that my Pack would get the chance the following day to meet with the King and Queen and I spent the night watching my niece and her Daughter. I notice how her Stepbrothers watched her and it didn’t take me long to realize that they are her Mates. My guts told me that they didn’t tell her and that she is unaware of it. One of my men said that she reminded him of my Brother as she was dealing with some idiotic High-ranking Werewolves. I told him that he was correct in his assumption and that is when everyone took a real good look at the Queen. We watched in the morning as they walked around the living-room and I nearly blew at the remark made by Alpha Gary. My men chuckle as they hear Hunter’s reply and I am proud of how she handled the situation, but I soon realize that she is more like my Brother then is good for her. I take a closer look at her wrist as she is laying on the couch and Justin explains the meaning of the tattoo to me. I don’t know anything about the female laying on the couch, but I know that I love her and are willing to give my life for her. I smile as I see Hunter looking at me and I just shake my head, I am not going to tell her who my guest is. I think the King’s Beta knows and for that reason he mentioned a guest instead of guests. My Brother took our parents with him as I had asked him to do. A knock on the door lets me know that they are here and I get up myself to open the door, but I make sure I block the people in the room from my family. “I know this is a bit unexpected, but I didn’t want to do this over the phone.” I say as I look at my Brother. I slowly open the door to reveal Aspen and I see his eyes widen as he tears up, I don’t get the chance to open the door any further as he pushes me aside. Aspen runs to her Father and our parents hold on to each other as they look at the scene in front of them. My Father’s eyes widen as I feel Hunter stepping around me, he looks at me for confirmation and the moment I nod my head he steps forward to pull her into his arms. “Mom, Dad. This is Hunter, Aspen’s Daughter.” I say as I keep my eyes on my Brother. He already had trouble holding his tears back as he was holding his Babygirl again, but hearing he has a Granddaughter breaks the hold he had on them. Dad quickly lets go of Hunter and she rushes to her Mother and Grandfather. I put my arm around Mom’s shoulder and I quietly introduce her and Dad to Daniel, “Mom, Dad. This is King Daniel, Aspen’s Mate.” Mom just stares at him as Dad shakes his hand and I have to chuckle at the expression on Mom’s face. Mom looks at him and I know they are all about to find out where Hunter gets her attitude from, “You might be the King, but if you hurt my Granddaughter there will be no place in the world you can hide.” She says as she looks him in the eye. “Ma’am, I swear I will keep her safe and I will do everything I can to make her happy.” He says with a solemn face and we can all hear the sincerity in his voice. “Hunter, I know where you get that mouth of yours from or should I say who.” “Dad, don’t tease my Nanna like that.” She says as she smacks his shoulder. The boys introduce themselves to my parents and my Brother and I walk over to Daniel’s Beta to ask him about the other Alphas. “Only one Alpha didn’t get a chance to talk to the King, but he understands this is an extraordinary situation and we agreed on another date for him to speak with the King.” Brent tells me and introduces me to his Mate, Gabe.
