Justin’s P.O.V. It’s been a week since she walked out on us and everyone stays clear of us, we are all in a foul mood with no one else to blame but ourselves. Even Mom and Dad stay clear of us and Pops spends most of his time with Papa as they drive Mom up the wall. Both men are determined to find their second chance Mate, if Debra ever accepts Papa’s rejection. So far she has refused to accept it and I have a feeling that she will never accept it, she is a very vindictive woman. Mom is nothing like her at all and I know that Hunter can hold a crutch, but she will never act like her Grandmother. I am glad we have found something to keep us occupied with or we would all be going bat shit crazy. Once we decided were we wanted to live and which rooms we had to rebuild to one room for all of us, we cleared those rooms out. We asked one of our contractors which walls could be taken out and which were retaining walls, because we couldn’t take down an entire retaining wall without causing a lot of damage. He helped us to figure out how much of the retaining walls had to stay in place to benefit the design of the inside of the room. We practically lived on the top floor now and Jayce was the only one that would leave it in the morning to do his paperwork, the rest of us only left if we had no other choice. We had taken out every piece of furniture that was still up there. Most of it wasn’t our taste or Hunter’s taste and Dad told us to do with it as we pleased. He and Mom didn’t know exactly what we were doing, but I think they were glad that we bothered others as less as possible. Every time we came across something we were unsure of, we would sent a picture to Mom or Dad and we would go with their suggestion on it. Our bedroom was stripped and the walls were done. Most of the room were now empty and we could get started on the living-room and kitchen. Hunter’s P.O.V. I spend my morning with Nanna, Grandpa and Uncle Drake, talking about what ever came to mind and I really enjoy these moments. I have seen Debra only twice since I got here and it is enough to last me a lifetime, that woman is getting on my nerves with her looks at Uncle Drake. I have two more chapters in my first study book and then I will have to make a decision, will I go home for a few days or continue with my travels. Max has been amazing, just like Matt and Victor as the three of them keep telling me that my Mates won’t be able to keep me at the Palace. Papa has told Uncle Drake that they spend most their time on the top floor of our wing and that his best guess is that they are remodeling it for us, but that he can’t be one hundred percent sure as they have sealed it off to everyone. Lunch is spend with Aunt Mara and Uncle Luke who are expecting their first Pup. I ask Uncle Luke what he thinks of Debra and he nearly chokes on his omelet with ham and cheese. “Hunter, I don’t think that is a subject to be discussed while eating, someone might lose their appetite.” He mumbles. I look around the table and see that he is the only one still eating. I look at Aunt Mara with a huge grin on my face, she shakes her head as I pull his plate from under his nose, “I think we are all done, Uncle Luke.” I say as I shove the last piece of his omelet in my mouth. I learn that Aunt Mara tried real hard to involve Debra into Pack activities and did her best to get her to join family dinners, but no matter what Debra had ignored every attempt Aunt Mara made to include her. Uncle Luke asks me when I spoke to Mom or any of the others for the last time and his jaw drops when I tell him that I have not contacted any of them. “Hunter, your Mom must be worried about you. And what about your Mates, they must be going crazy.” He responds and I tell him that I hope they do, shocking the hell out of him. So I tell him about the conversation we had over a year ago and when I am finished he stares at the table, not saying a word as I can see his eyes chance color over and over again. I get up out of my seat and walk around the table to stand behind him, I put my arms around him to try to calm him.
