Hunter’s P.O.V. Max tells me that Uncle Luke is with Mom and Dad at which I just shrug my shoulders, I didn’t tell them what happened in Dad’s office and I decide not to ruin my private party by telling them now. “You will get your presents when Jason and Justin are here.” Emma says and I get a feeling that their presents are connected somehow. I just smile at her and tell her that all of them being here is more important than any gift. “Does that mean I get to keep the laptop?” Papa asks and Pops smacks him on his head as a reply. I giggle as I watch the two of them and then I remember I forgot to tell them we will be leaving in the morning, so I tell them to be ready and they tell me they are already packed. “Your Mom told us what happened, so we already knew you wanted to leave in the morning. Emma and Ella, the two of you will be staying with us tonight.” Pops says. “Yes, sir.” They reply and they are lucky they are far enough away from him, because I think he would have smacked them on the head. “Emma. Ella.” I hear him growl and a huge grin forms on their faces, “Kidding, Pops.” Ella says and by the look on Max’s face I can tell he doesn’t understand what is going on. “Max, those two have spent more time here than in their own home and Pops got fed up with the “Sir” pretty quickly. They were instructed to call him Pops just as I do.” Seeing the twinkle in his eyes makes me regret telling him. “Does that mean if I call him sir every chance I get, I get to call him Pops too?” Max asks while he keeps looking at me and before Pops can say anything Ella opens her yap, “No, you get to call him Prince Pops.” I burst out in laughter at the look on Max’s face and as I turn towards Pops I start laughing even harder, both of them look dumbfounded at Ella. Papa starts hiccupping and Matt is rolling on the floor as Victor holds on to his stomach. We eat the cake as we talk about our trip to Three Mountain Pack, Ella and Emma have not finished their first classes yet and they will be doing those as the three of us will start on the second classes. I tell them to do it while we travel as I will be going through the information Elder Edward send me and I hope that by the time this trip is over I will have answers for the five of us. Not that I would mind just exploring my Mates bodies or them exploring mine. It is just after five in the afternoon when Max tells me that Uncle Luke’s team has arrived and I follow him down the stairs and to the front door to welcome them. The one thing I had hoped to avoid was running in to Mom and Dad, but there was no such luck for me.I walk past them and ask Uncle Luke to introduce me to his team, which he does without asking any questions. I tell his team where we are going and why, I also tell them that there has been a change in the plans and that we will be leaving in the morning. “Not a problem, Your Highness. We can still get a good night sleep before hitting the road again.” John, his second in command, says and I ask Matt and Victor to show them were they will be spending the night. “After that show them to the dining-room so they can get some dinner, we will meet up there.” Before anyone can say anything I walk away to the gardens and through the mind-link I tell Jax and Jayce I need some time alone, “Just make sure you are on time for dinner, Princess.” Jayce answers. I slowly walk around the gardens as I let my thoughts run through my head; my Mates, my Mom, the secret, my Dad. It all passes my mind and even though I still don’t like they didn’t tell me I know they did it because of the way they were raised. What I can’t wrap my head around is Mom not telling me at least a part of what she suspected. She could have done the same thing Pops did without revealing who, but she chose to act as if she was helping me find out who it was and I think that that is what hurts the most. Mom knows me better than anyone and she knew this would not go away easily. I am not a vindictive person, but I can hold a grudge for a long time and Mom is very aware of that. Her not telling me baffles me and it confuses me to no end, it actually annoys the hell out of me. Did she think I would just forget about it? Did she think I would just act as if she didn’t betray me? The longer I think about it the more questions I have, and I feel myself getting dizzy, I quickly link Jax to alert him.
