Justin’s P.O.V. Jason and I block Macy and Suzy, giving our Brothers the chance to get out of the claws of these shameless She-wolves. Everyone knows that we will never settle for a chosen Mate, but it doesn’t stop some from trying to get into our bed. It is not that we are still virgins, we are just very picky when it comes to the She-wolves we sleep with. Every She-wolf we have slept with has had a Mate and lost him for whatever reason. They understand they are nothing more than a means to an end and they use us in the same way we use them, to get rid of an itch. It has been months since I have been with a She-wolf and I know it has been almost as long for my Brothers as well. Sometimes I wonder why any She-wolf tries to find their way into bed with a high-ranking Wolf or Lycan, why can’t they just wait for their fated Mate like most of us do. I don’t want my Mate to run in to a She-wolf I slept with at the Palace or the Pack-house. Once we know that Jax and Jayce got away Jason and I walk out the backdoor of the Palace, Jason leaves towards the right and I walk straight ahead towards the bar. Slade is pacing up and down in my head and I tell him to take it easy. Suddenly I smell the most intoxicating scent ever and I snap my head around towards the source of it, I barely refrain myself from roaring the word “Mate” as I see Dad walking towards me with a woman on his arm and a young girl. “Slade, she is too young. We can’t let her know that she is our Mate.” Slade hates that he can’t claim her, but he knows that I am right. This will be a difficult year for us before she is able to tell that we are her Mate. I will need to keep this to myself, but I will make sure we spend as much time together as we can and make sure that I will not give away anything to tip her off. Not that we are not allowed to, but it is better for her if she finds out the right way and not because I have been acting like an overprotective ass. Dad smiles at me and I look at the woman next to him, “Hello, you must be this old guy’s second chance. I am Justin, his youngest Son.” I say teasingly and she giggles as my Dad looks at me in shock. “Hello, Justin. I am Aspen and this is my Daughter, Hunter.” The girl looks up at me and I am surprised to see her eyes. “Wow, I like the color of your eyes. They look amazing, Little One.” She looks at me and then she starts to look around as if she is looking for something. I look at her with confusion written all over my face, than she says, “I was wondering if you had a stalker, just like Jax. Thought I might need to explain things to her, just like I did with Jax’s lady friend.” Dad and Aspen start laughing and I just look at her dumbfounded, I cannot believe what she just said. I will have to ask Jax about this in the morning, because I would like to know what happened between her and Macy. We talk for a few minutes longer and then Dad tells me that they will walk around some more, mingling with the guests “the King” invited to his Palace. “Stay out of trouble, Little One.” I say as they walk away from me. Jason’s P.O.V. I had seen Dad talking to Justin with a woman on his arm and a young girl standing next to them. I know who the woman is, but I wonder what the young girl is doing with them. Logan is going nuts in my head and it gets worse the closer Dad comes and then I hear him say “Mate” in my head. I manage to keep from blurting the word out as I realize that the scent of my Mate comes from the young girl walking next to Dad. “Jason, this is Aspen and her Daughter, Hunter. Ladies, this is my third Son, Jason.” Dad has a huge smile on his face as he looks down at Aspen and I smile as I see Dad happy for the first time in decades. “Aspen, welcome to the family. Hunter, I hope my Dad is not making things difficult for you.” I say as I wink at her. She smiles and says, “No more than Mom would.” I chuckle as I see Aspen glare at Hunter and that is when I see her looking around us, before she leans towards Dad and says, “He doesn’t have a stalker either, Dad.” Aspen and Dad start laughing and I ask her what she means with that. “What do you mean with the word that? Dad or stalker.” Dad starts laughing even harder and my jaw drops. As soon as I am capable I say, “I meant what you mean with stalker, Little One.” Hunter explains herself and I chuckle at her words. “I wish I had been there, I would have liked to see the look on Macy’s face. Maybe I am lucky when you run into Jayce’s stalker, Suzy.” I say and I see Aspen shake her head, “Jason, don’t put ideas in that head of hers. She is capable of getting into enough trouble without your help.” Aspen whispers. I stare after them as they continue their walk around the gardens, greeting the guests “the King” has invited and I want to run after them to stay close to my Mate. I just keep an eye on her as I walk around the gardens as well and I see Macy staring daggers at her, making me chuckle. Hunter apparently made it very clear to Macy that she is to stay away from Jax. In the few minutes I talked to her, I learned that she has no filter and that she doesn’t fear much. Dad told me that tomorrow morning we would all hear the story of Aspen and Hunter.
