Jax’s P.O.V. Hunter refuses to go down for breakfast and Jayce and I have seen her this way to often to know there is nothing that will change her mind. I tell Jayce to stay with her as I go down to get us some breakfast. As I walk in to the dining-room I see that Mom is looking behind me and I decide to tell her the truth, “Hunter refuses to come down here and we both know there is no changing her mind on that. Jayce is with her and I am just here to get the three of us something to eat.” Martha tells me she will bring up some breakfast and I ask her to bring some coffee as well. Before I walk out the room Mom calls out my name and I turn around to look at her, “Why doesn’t she want to come down?” she asks and I wonder for a second if she is kidding. “She heard what you said.” I reply and Mom’s face pales, apparently Mom had not realized that Hunter had heard her. Everyone shifts their gaze between the two of us and I think even Dad is unaware of what is going on. Knowing Hunter wants to say goodbye to her family I turn to them and tell them to come upstairs after they are done with breakfast. That way they can say their goodbyes and Hunter doesn’t have to face Mom just yet. Martha places the tray with our breakfast in the living-room and one of the other Omegas puts down the tray with coffee next to it. We eat in silence and for once Hunter doesn’t empty her plate, making me and Jayce look at her in worry. Jayce and I keep a close eye on her as she says goodbye to her family and everyone can see that something is wrong, but no one asks. Uncle Drake gives me a questioning look and I just shake my head. Half an hour after they have left our floor Hunter gets up and walks out of our living-room towards the door, “Let’s get this over with.” She mumbles as she opens the door and Jayce and I rush after her. Jayce knocks on Dad’s office door and we wait until he calls out for us to enter. Hunter straightens her shoulders before she opens the door, Jayce and I follow her in and she sits down in one of the armchairs the furthest away from Mom. Jayce and I take a seat on either side of her, she is looking straight ahead with her eyes on the wall behind Mom and Dad and she doesn’t say a word. By the look on Dad’s face I can tell that Mom didn’t tell him why we are all here and I wonder why she hasn’t told him. “Who is going to tell me what is going on here?” Dad asks as he looks at us one by one, Hunter keeps her mouth shut and I sure as hell am not going to start this conversation. Dad turns to Mom and asks her if she can explain what we are all doing in his office.“When I went to tell them this morning that the family would be leaving after breakfast, I was about to leave when I smelled something I had not expected. There…” Mom doesn’t get to say anything else as Hunter jumps up. “She smelled that they had both made me come. Maybe if all of you had had the decency of telling me from the start we would have had a bond that could have prevented this, but none of you did. I was pissed off when Pops told me what he knew and I ignored him for a year. You and Dad have known for almost two years, even though Dad didn’t believe you and you even acted as if you were searching for who it could be. Tomorrow morning I will be leaving for Aunt Sasha’s Pack and I suggest both of you stay the hell away from me.” She yells as her eyes switch between Mom and Dad, making me realize that she still has a lot of unresolved anger on that subject. She walks out of Dad’s office and Jayce and I just stare after our Mate. Brick pushes forward as I look at Mom and he growls at her, “If this pushes her away from us, you better make sure you stay away from me as well.” I follow her scent back up to our room and I find her in the oversized swivel barrel chair we placed in front of the window, it is the same one as down in the Library. Only in a different color, we chose an emerald green one. I lift her into my lap as I move into the chair and she buries her face in my neck, I feel the wetness of her tears as she snuggles into my chest. Jayce is on his knees in front of her and has his head on her knees.
