Hunter’s P.O.V. “Princess, before we go inside we need to make something clear. We know that we messed up with not telling you and we know that we need to give you the time you need to stop being pissed at us. After you left we talked about the future and what we would like it to look like. However, we have decided that you are the one that needs to be at the center of the decisions we want to make. Everything we do will be with you in our mind or with involving you, but there is one thing that will not be up for discussion and we hope that you will understand that.” Jax says as he stands in the doorway. I let his words sink in and I wonder what is not up for discussion. “Why don’t you start at the beginning and if I have questions or if there is something I don’t like, I will speak up.” I says as I look from one Mate to the other. “Well, the one thing that is not negotiable is how and where we sleep.” Jason states as he walks ahead of the rest of us and he opens double doors on the left side of the hall. My eyes get drawn to the bed in the center of the room and I immediately understand why they say it is not up for discussion. “Where the hell did you find this huge ass bed?” I ask as I jump out of Jax’s arms and run over to the bed. I can see that it was handmade and I wonder who designed it. The pillows are in the center of the bed and it is obvious that it has place enough for all five of us. At first I thought it was strange that it was in the middle of the room, but now that I look at it better I see it is done deliberate. You can enter the bed from any side and my Mates will all be able to be close to me during the night. “I designed it myself and the others gave their opinion on some changes, once it was done one of the carpenters made it. It left us with a problem, thou.” Jason says and I stare at the bed trying to find out what that problem could have been. I let my eyes wander towards the windows and then Justice points out that this room is right above Jayce and Jax’s room a floor lower. I look around the room and then I figure out the problem they had with the bed, the room hadn’t been big enough. “They probably were able to take out their frustration on the walls.” Justice says and I have to agree with her. I walk around the room and open the door to my right, walking into a huge bathroom. It has a walk-in shower with what looks like a very difficult panel to operate it against the back wall. There are sinks to the left and a huge tub to the right, big enough for all of us. I open up the cabinets that are above and under the sinks, most of them are full and I recognize the products my Mates use. “It didn’t take you long to refer to them as our Mates.” Justice mumbles. “Yeah, I know. It just doesn’t feel right if I keep calling them my Brothers. I mean, in a way they are my Brothers, but they are also my Mates. I feel better by calling them my Mates, even if I haven’t felt the Mate-bond yet.” I tell her and I know that she agrees with me. “What did you and Justice need to discuss?” Justin asks me and I realize I have been standing in the middle of the bathroom. I look at him before I walk over to the bed and sit down in the middle of it. “I left because I didn’t want to say something I might regret or couldn’t take back. I know that it hurt all of you, but I knew it was for the best and I knew it would give me more time to think about our situation. Walking out of here with Victor and Matt gave me time to let everything pass my mind and get used to a change I had not expected. By the time we reached Uncle Drake’s Pack…” I don’t get to say anything else as Jayce roars loudly. He looks very angry as he paces the room up and down, “He knew where you were, Papa knew where you were.” He repeats those words over and over. The moment he passes the bed I jump onto his back and he stops dead in his tracks, “Yes, Papa knew where I was. He didn’t tell you, because he knew we all needed the time and he didn’t want any of you to run after me with the changes of making the matter worse. He kept quiet for all our benefits and he kept it from everyone, not just the four of you.” I feel Jayce calming down as I talk, my arms and legs wrapped tightly around him. “Thank you, Princess. I know Papa did the right thing, but I still don’t like that he kept it from us.” Jayce mumbles.
