Hunter’s P.O.V. “Maybe you should ask Gamma Gabe, seeing the fact that he already met the underside of my boot.” I say as I try to control my Lycan. The men gasp at my admission and we walk the rest of the way in silence. Victor comes in sight and I motion the men to stop walking and to stay quiet. Daniel, Brent and Gabe are sitting on the front porch as I creep up on Victor, none of them warn him that I am approaching and when I am close enough I jump on his back. “Goodmorning.” I say as I land on his back and Victor just starts laughing as he tries to get from under me. “Hunter, behave yourself.” Mom scolds me and I help Victor up, who is still laughing. “It’s okay, Luna. I think I might need to go back to Puppy training, Alpha.” He says laughing and that is when everyone starts laughing. Peter and Chris shake their heads as they join the other Warriors a few feet away. “Sorry, Victor. I didn’t mean to embarrass you, but I have never been able to test if I could sneak up on a Lycan.” I say to him as I walk to the front porch to get my coffee. After we all have had some coffee and breakfast the Warriors disappear and suddenly Victor tells Daniel that the coast is clear. “Aspen, will you sit down for a moment? There is something I need to tell you and Hunter before we head home.” Daniel says and the look on his face tells me that this is serious. “Outside my Pack, no one else knows this and I like to keep it that way for now. However, Gabe pointed out that it was not fair to keep this from the two of you until we get home.” I see Mom pale and I really hope it is not as bad as she thinks. Daniel notices it as well and he says “Aspen, there is nothing to worry about. It is just that your lives will chance a lot more than what you bargained for and by telling you now, you will have time to at least ask questions and prepare yourselves.” Daniel’s P.O.V. I knew I had to tell them the truth, but feeling Aspen get insecure because of it was not my intention. I pull her on to my lap as I wrap my arms around her and I am happy to feel her emotions settle down. “Hunter, what do you know about the Lycan King?” I ask her, because if anyone here can answer that it will be her. She looks at me and I get this feeling she knows more than I would like. “The last Lycan King was King Edward and even though everyone was told he had a child, no one ever saw him or her. When his Heir took over he or she stayed in hiding and till this day no one knows what he or she looks like.No one knows if the new King or Queen has an heir and whether it is a male or female, if he or she has an heir that is. There are a lot of rumors flying around as to the reason why no one has seen the new King or Queen so far, one of the biggest being that there never was an heir to the throne. The runner up is favored by people to scare the shit out of children, namely that he or she is a monster that can’t control their Lycan.” I stare at her as she speaks and I know about those rumors, making me laugh every time I hear them. “What do you think is true, Hunter?” I ask her tentatively and for a moment she thinks about how to respond. “I think neither one is the truth, Your Majesty.” She says and I see Aspen’s jaw drop, while Brent and Gabe laugh their ass off. “Hunter, that is not funny.” Aspen scolds her. “Daniel is not our King.” She says adamantly and Hunter looks her in the eyes before she says, “Then please explain to me why I sense my Step-brothers at the Palace and not at the Pack where they are supposed to be?” Aspen looks confused as she hears Hunter talk and Hunter points out to her where my Pack’s territory is located, after which she points out where the Palace grounds are. She points in the direction of the Palace as she says “They have been there ever since I first tried to sense them and they haven’t moved.” “Alpha Malcolm is on his way.” Victor says through the mind-link and I ask Aspen and Hunter to wait with their questions until the coast is clear again. Both of them nod their heads and Aspen gestures Hunter to follow her in to the cottage.
