Love Times Four: My Stepbrothers Are All My Mates?

Chapter 223 Cousin Max

Hunter’s P.O.V. A woman that sits next to Nanna gets up and welcomes me to the family, she introduces everyone to me before she tells me to sit down next to Uncle Drake. Nanna tells me they had five Pups, two males and three females. Uncle Drake is the only one that hasn’t found his Mate yet and Aunt Sasha lives at another Pack with her Mate and four Pups. Aunt Lucy is the only one present tonight with her Mate David and their Pup Max. “There are two things you all need to know and they need to stay within this room.” Uncle Drake says and they all nod their heads. “Aspen is mated to our King and his Sons are Hunter’s Mates.” He quickly explains everything to them and Max starts laughing, making Uncle Drake growl at him. “Sorry, Uncle, but if she is like Uncle Thomas and Grandpa I feel sorry for those guys. She will make them go through hell and back again, she wouldn’t have done this if they had told her a year ago. I am with her on this, she should have been told and that goes for all involved. I know I would react the same and I know that goes for you as well, Uncle.” He states and the look on Uncle Drake’s face tells me that Max is correct with his assumption. “Max, they are her Mates and she can’t just reject them.” Uncle Drake says and Max asks him where in all the words he said did he hear the word rejection, Uncle Drake has to admit that Max didn’t use that word. “Neither did Hunter if I heard you correctly, but it doesn’t mean she has to accept it without a fight. They could have had a bond already, something none of us get before the Mate-bond and they took that from her. Hunter is my Cousin, she is my family and I will make sure that those idiots know that they don’t get away with hurting her. When she leaves here and wants to continue her travels I will be joining them, just to make sure no one forces her to go home.” He growls at Uncle Drake and I smile at his statement. Uncle Drake wants to says something, but Nanna beats him to it, “Max, thank you. I believe it would be a good idea if you join them, should Hunter decide to keep on traveling. Or if she decides to go home before continuing her travels, I know you will protect her and keep her wants and needs safe.” I am surprised to hear Uncle Drake agree with Nanna, but than again he has always put family first and I know he always will. That is one of the things I learned from the stories Nanna told us yesterday and I am glad I am getting to know my family. Max and Victor start talking about training and Max invites all of us for training in the morning. With Max, Victor and Matt in a conversation I can barely hear a word of what Aunt Lucy is trying to tell me and I get up out of my seat. I pick up my plate and walk around the table as I say, “Matt, get your ass out of that chair and go sit next to Max.” Making Matt and Victor growl at me. “Gentlemen, you will both pay for growling at me tomorrow. Now get moving, Matt. Before I make you.” I growl back and luckily Matt understands he should do as I have said. While I eat my dinner Aunt Lucy tells me stories about Mom and her childhood, her tendency of sleeping on Uncle Drake’s lap instead of her bed and I know I will ask Mom if she remembers that. “Aunt Lucy, what was Papa like as a child?” I ask and she gives me a funny look. Nanna tells her that it is my nickname for Thomas and that I call Daniel’s Father in Law Pops. “I have nicknames for almost everyone.” I respond and everyone listens as I tell them my nicknames for everyone. My nickname for my Mates makes everyone burst out in laughter and Max tells us he will call them that just to annoy the hell out of them.
