Max’s P.O.V. That Cousin of mine can be annoying as hell, she really takes after Uncle Drake and Uncle Thomas. I had seen the message on her laptop, but I could also see that her book wasn’t finished yet and that raised a few questions. From time to time she asks Victor if he has an answer yet, but every time he has to disappoint her and I can see that she is getting agitated. Matt explained to me what she had asked Victor about and I know that who ever is responsible can better start running. Matt and I are out of hearing range and I tell him to inform Victor of the fact that something is wrong. “He better have that answer for her soon or she is going to bite his head off. I don’t know what she figured out, but whatever it is she isn’t too happy with it.” Before Hunter can ask Victor again Nanna walks out and tells us that dinner is ready, I hope it will give Victor enough time to find the answer that she is looking for. During dinner we talk about everything and nothing, it is a very comfortable feeling having her here and I hope I get to enjoy her company a lot. She is smart and funny, she is not afraid to speak her mind and she can be annoying as hell. I really love my Cousin and I am glad that Uncle Thomas has his family back. Victor gets Hunter’s attention as he holds his phone in front of her and a nod from Matt tells me that she has finally gotten her answer. The look on her face changes to one I have seen on Uncle Drake’s face and I gulp as I stare at her, making Nanna take a good look at her as well. “Looks like there are clouds on the horizon for someone by the look on your face, Princess.” Nanna says and when Hunter looks at Nanna we all mutter “Fuck”, because Nanna is right, there is hell to pay for someone. I pity the poor bastard that got in Hunter’s way, but I also know I want front row seats to that shitshow. Grandpa starts to laugh and Uncle Drake asks if he lost his mind, “No, I didn’t. That is the exact same look you give when someone has crossed a line with you and that usually ends with a dead body.” We agree with Grandpa on that and for a moment it looks like Uncle Drake wants to object, but he just shrugs his shoulders. Apparently he realizes that we are right and decides not to comment. “Uncle Drake, I will be leaving in the morning. I have something to take care of at the Palace and I might need Max and Matt to start digging a grave.” She says with an evil smirk on her face and we all start laughing at her words. She doesn’t want to tell us what this is all about and after a few minutes we give up trying to get answers from her, knowing she will not give them to us. However something tells me that she will change the future for a lot of people and I know that she will always do what is best for others. My Cousin will make a great Queen one day and I can’t wait to meet her Mates to tell them they better treat her right. Hunter’s P.O.V. After dinner I contact Elder Marcus and ask him what he knows about Elder Cedrick. The more I hear about the guy the more I start fuming and I tell Elder Marcus I want all the Council Elders at the Palace by five in the afternoon the next day. “No exceptions, Elder Marcus. All of them better be there or you will all pay.” I growl before I disconnect the call and I know he will make sure that everyone is there. I ask Victor what time we have to leave if we want to be at the Palace just before breakfast. Uncle Drake has arranged our transportation and before we turn in for the night Victor and Matt have put our luggage in the trunk. Max will be staying at the Pack-house as well and his bags are in the trunk already too. Nanna and Grandpa hate to see me go, but I promised I would call them every night until they would get sick and tired of it. Uncle Drake tells me to call him when I have reached the Palace and to let him know when I will start my travels for my studies. “Yeah, right. Nosy Parker over there will send you my itinerary to moment he has it.” I say as I point at Max over my shoulder. Max fakes ignorance at my remark and Uncle Drake chuckles as he realizes I am aware of what he asked of Max.
