Love Times Four: My Stepbrothers Are All My Mates?
Hunter’s P.O.V. I know Uncle Drake wants me to be safe and I know he will ask his allies to keep an eye on me during my travels. I can’t blame him for worrying, we all know what Debra did to my family and I am surprised she is still breathing. I hug Uncle Drake as I say, “I love you, Uncle Drake. Thank you for caring, thank you for looking out for me. I promise Max will send you everything you need to know.” He hugs me back and thanks me for being a part of his life. We both wish I had been a part of his life from the start, but we both know that things happen for a reason and neither one of us is willing to question the Goddess. Uncle Drake walks me up to my room and I love the feel of comfort he provides me with, I am glad I found out I have a whole family out there. “Uncle Drake, will you tuck me in?” I ask him as we get to my room and I see a huge smile on his face. He stares out of the window while I put on one of his shirts, he told me to wear it so I didn’t have to pack up anything in the morning. I crawl into bed as he walks towards me, he sits down next to me and pulls me into his arms. My head is on his chest as his right hand runs up and down my back, I inhale his scent with every breath and slowly my eyes close until I am asleep. When I wake in the morning I smile, because I still feel Uncle Drake’s arms around me and I snuggle into his side just a little deeper. “Goodmorning, Princess. Are you ready to head home?” He asks and I know what he means with that question. A part of me doesn’t want to go home, afraid my Mates might try to stop me from my studies and the other part wants to go home. It is the part that understands that this hasn’t been easy for them either and Justice and I have missed the men we saw the night of the Harvest Moon. They were different from the men that drove us from the Palace, it was as if they had been completely different from the men we knew when we moved into the Palace. “They have used the past year to learn from their mistakes. Or Mom threatened them in one way or the other.” Justice makes me giggle as she reminds me of Mom and her ability to scare the shit out of people when they least expect it. Mom acts and looks kind and friendly, but that changes the moment you cross a line with her and then the monster comes out. Don’t tell Mom that Justice and I call her that, she might just lock us in our room for it. We haven’t seen that side of Mom often, but every time we have it was not directed at us and I hope I am never on the receiving end of it. It can terrify even the toughest of Lycans and Werewolves. I tell Uncle Drake why I was giggling and he tells me that he hopes he will never be on the receiving end either, “I think she takes after her Father and Grandfather.” He mumbles.It is quiet outside the Pack-house as we make our way over to the SUV, the only ones to see us off is immediate family and the Guards that were informed by Uncle Drake about our departure. He thought it was wise not to inform to many people that we would be leaving. I see that the SUV is the brand and model I told Nanna I wanted for my birthday, but Mom had thought it was not necessary as Dad has a fleet of SUVs at the Palace. It is a dark blue SUV that can seat six people with ease and there will be room to spare. Uncle Drake dangles the keys in front of me and I promise him his SUV while be returned to him in one piece. “Princess, it is all yours.” He says and I squeal as I jump into his arms and hug him tight. “Thank you, Uncle Drake. I will take good care of it.” I say as I take the keys from him. Victor and Matt stare at him and Max asks why he didn’t get a car from Uncle Drake, “Because you have gotten just about everything your entire life. I have been able to look after you for as long as you have been breathing. Just let me spoil her and annoy her Mother just a little.” He says.
