Love Times Four: My Stepbrothers Are All My Mates?
Hunter’s P.O.V. My great Grandmother just smiles as I call her Nanna and Dad faints to be hurt by the smack I gave him. Justice is running back and forth in my head, not knowing on what to concentrate on first and I am right with her on that. “Don’t let Papa walk to for off, I want to get to know his Lycan.” Justice says and I giggle at the nickname she gave my Grandfather. I am in my great Grandfather’s arms as I take a look at all my family members. Uncle Drake gives me a strange look from time to time and I see that he is watching my Brothers as well. Justice and I can’t figure out why and I can feel that my head is getting overcrowded again. Papa is the one that realizes that I am no longer focused and he asks me what is going on, “I don’t know, Papa. Uncle Drake’s behavior is confusing me and my thoughts are running wild. It almost feels like I am drowning.” I reply. Uncle Drake turns to Jayce and asks, “None of you told her?” I just look at him as Mom guides me to a couch and Papa pulls me onto his lap. I can see that Uncle Drake and Papa are talking through their mind-link and Papa seems to becoming upset. “Drake, can I talk to you outside for a minute?” Dad asks and the two of them walk out of the office. I can tell that Papa gets to listen in on the conversation and his facial expression chances with the second. I giggle as I look at his face, because it is funny to see. When they walk back into the office Papa says, “She knows something is going on and her head is trying to make sense out of it, but she hasn’t put everything together yet. Her mind will keep running in circles until it does make sense, but this might cause her to black-out as it will become to much to process. I know what I am talking about, it has happened to me more than once and sometimes I still haven’t figured it out by the time I wake up.” Jayce sits down on the coffee table and grabs hold of my hands. “Princess, there is no easy way of telling you this and we all know that it will piss you off. Just know that we thought we were doing the right thing and that we never meant to hurt you in any way. Jax, Jason, Justin and I never talked about this and we didn’t know until a few days ago. We promised Mom and Dad we would tell you today, even if it means that you will tell us to go to hell.” My eyes move around the room and I can tell that everyone knows what he is going to tell me, except of course for me. Papa tightens his hold on me and even though I haven’t tested it I know that I won’t be able to free myself. “Princess, you need to promise me that you will hear him out and that you will try to understand where they are coming from.” Dad asks and I just nod my head.I can see that Jayce is nervous and the others are not looking comfortable either. “Princess, I am just going to say it as I know no other way of saying this. You are our Mate.” My mind goes blank as I stare at Jayce and it takes me a few seconds before his words fully register. “He said our Mate, does he mean all of my Brothers, is he telling me I have four Mates.” I ask Justice, but she is as stunned as I am and doesn’t respond to me. “Hunter, talk to me. Ask your questions out loud, it will help you process everything.” Papa says and I ask softly “Who knew?” Just looking around I can see it written on their faces, everyone knew and none of them said a word. I ask the questions that pop up in my head and Jayce answers all of them. Papa is right, asking them out loud helps me process things a bit easier and it is helping in easing my mind. Once I have no more questions I excuse myself and go up to my room. Laying on my bed I let everything from the past two years pass before my eyes, things that never made sense all of a sudden become clear as day and I realize that some of the things I did were hard for them to deal with. I slowly drift of to sleep as I realize that I lost two years of building a bond with my Mates.
