Love Times Four: My Stepbrothers Are All My Mates?
Hunter’s P.O.V. My Father was a Royal and a descendant for the throne somewhere further down the line. I had read about the first King and knew exactly what he had been like, looks like my Father took after him in the department of females. Hell, I was a descendant to the throne. Dad is going to hate me for being related to the family that killed his Mother, my Brothers never knew their Grandmother because of my family and they will hate me for that. “Hunter, they won’t. They knew your Father was despicable and not once did any of them make you feel bad. They know better than to judge someone by their family’s actions. They will not hate you, you are not your Father or your Grandfather. Alpha Malcolm said he never read the information about you, because he was ashamed of his Son’s actions. Your Uncle might be a different story, he seemed interested in what the Doctor had to say.” Justice says as she looks at me sternly. I finally stop running and I find myself in front of Sarah’s grave. This is the second time I ended up here and as I look at the gravestone I smell a familiar scent, Pops has been here. The first time I was here was on my first day here and I walked around the Palace gardens. Something had drawn me to this side of the cemetery and when I saw the gravestone and the headstone covered in mud, I knew someone had done this deliberately. It had been all dried up and I had started cleaning the headstone with my hands. Soon I could see the howling Wolf and I knew this was Sarah’s grave, don’t ask me how, I just did. Once the headstone was clean I started wiping the mud of the gravestone, revealing floral engravings all around three open books. I had removed the dead flowers and replaced them with fresh flowers like the ones engraved all around the gravestone. I vowed to Sarah I would look after her Sons, that I would love Dad for the rest of my life and that I would take care of their grave. Daniel had told us about Rain and her stillborn Pup, about Justin choosing the grave- and headstone. It had been the boys that decided to bury their Grandmother and Aunt with their Mother. Mom and I had sob when he told us about what Justin had chosen to put on the gravestone for his Aunt and with my hand on Jessy’s book I realize that Justice was right, they love me for me. Jason’s P.O.V. Hunter has been gone for a while now and Logan is getting more agitated with every minute that passes without anyone telling us where she is. “Prince Jason, we found her and you might want to bring your Grandfather with you. She’s at your Mother’s grave.” I tap Pops on his shoulder and motion him to follow me, he does so without asking any questions. Dad, Aspen and my Brothers follow close behind, they don’t ask question either as we rush out of the Palace. We slow down when we see Victor and Vincent stand off to the side and we stop right beside them as we look at Hunter. “Sarah, thank you for giving me four Brothers. I promise I will annoy the hell out of them, after all that is what a baby Sister is supposed to do. I promise I will love them with all my heart as I know they will love me. I know Mom will love them as her own and she will take good care of your Mate. Rain, thank you for loving your Daughter enough to grant her what it was she wanted in life. Thank you for not being over-protective and shielding her from the world, to let her love and be loved. Justin stated it perfectly for his Aunt, I never knew you, but you will always be in my heart.” We can all hear the sadness in her voice, we can all hear the truth in her voice and I love my little Mate even more. Justin walks towards her and wraps his arms around her, just holding her without saying anything. Pops kneels down in front of her and asks her if she put the fresh flowers on the grave. “I did, Pops. After I cleaned all the mud of the grave- and headstone.” She whispers and I hear Dad growl next to me. Vincent tells me through the mind-link it had been clean the day Dad got home and from what I know Hunter visited the gardens alone the following day. This meant it happened during the Harvest Moon and it had meant to hurt Pops and Dad. “Vincent, try to walk by it at least once a day, report everything and clean it before my Dad or Grandfather see it.” I know he will do as I ask, but getting a firm confirmation is good. “Princess, I have to ask and don’t think I’m mad. Why do you call me Pops?” She looks at him an answer with a question, “Why do you call me Princess?” He stares at her and tells her it is a nickname he likes for her. “And I like Pops for you.” She states and her eyes glide to Gabe as she leans towards Pops, whispering hard enough for all of us to hear, “Just like I like PJ, GeeGee and BeeBee.” Justin buries his face in her hair as he chuckles. Pops looks at her and asks her who she refers to with those names. “Gamma Gabe is GeeGee and Beta Brent is BeeBee.” I see the knowing look on his face as he looks from Gabe to Brent and he tells her she is a smart young lady. “PJ is a bit more complicated, because four will react when I call for PJ.” Pops looks at her and we can all see that he can’t wrap his brain around it, until Vincent calls out “Prince Jason.” Pops bursts out in laughter and he places his hand on Grandmother’s book, “She will light up the Palace, Love.” “Let’s hope not literally.” Justin mumbles and Hunter smacks him on his head over her shoulder.
