Love Times Four: My Stepbrothers Are All My Mates?

Chapter 254 Too Much

Jax’s P.O.V. I grab Jayce as I run out of his office, and I know he will follow me without asking questions. Max follows us as we run past him and his Uncle, but he also keeps quiet and I think he knows he won’t get an answer even if he asked. I remember the last time this happened, so I am not in a total panic as I follow her scent into the gardens. Vincent links me that he found her unconscious, and I ask him where they are, which isn’t too far, thank Goddess. Jayce speeds up as he sees Vincent holding Hunter in his arms and I know none of us will ever let her leave on her own again if she is in a state like today. We will not let anything happen to her and when I hear Jayce curse, I know she hurt herself. Jayce takes off towards the infirmary and as I look at her face, I can see that there is blood coming from a cut on her face, but for some reason Justice is not healing her. Mom and Dad are waiting for us at the infirmary and Mom’s face pales as she sees the blood on Hunter’s face. Doc opens the door to one of the exam rooms and Jayce walks in to place Hunter on the bed, I am right behind him as I keep my eyes on our Princess. Mom tries to follow us inside, but Jayce growls at her before he closes the door in front of her. Papa links me that he is outside and I tell Jayce I will ask Papa if he knows why Justice isn’t healing her. He nods his head, but he doesn’t take his eyes of her and I would be standing right next to him if I didn’t need some answers. After I close the door I turn towards Papa and I see that everyone is looking from me to the door. “Papa, can you think of a reason why Justice isn’t healing her? She linked me that she was starting to get dizzy and I guess she collapsed after that, probably hitting her head.” I say and I hear Mom crying. “It probably means Justice is trying to help her make sense of her thoughts and the injury is not big enough for her to divide her attention.” Papa says and I understand what he means with it. Mom tries to walk towards the room, but I stop her dead in her tracks, “Don’t. We both know why this happened and I am not sure if she wants you in there right now. I don’t care if this hurts your feelings, Mom, but right now Hunter is my main priority. Until she says it is okay you are not going anywhere near her, am I making myself clear?” All of them stare at me and I know that most of them don’t understand what is going on, but I just don’t care. Dad is staring daggers at me and I know he wants to object. “Dad, don’t say a word. Not unless you want all hell to break lose.” I growl before I walk back into the room and explain to Doc and Jayce why Justice is not healing her. Doc tells me the injury is minor and won’t leave a scar.Aspen’s P.O.V. I hate to admit it, but Jax is right. My baby is in the infirmary because of me and I understand why he told me to stay away, even though I want to hold her in my arms. Daniel looks furious after what Jax said, but I don’t blame him for putting Hunter first. She is his Mate and I know Daniel would react the same way if it was me in that room. I place my hand on his arm to calm both of us down and as our eyes lock I can tell that he is not angry at Jax, but at the both of us for not being honest with Hunter. “Dad, will you let us know if there is any news?” I ask my Father before I pull Daniel with me. We walk back to our bedroom without speaking, both of us caught in our own thoughts and without thinking I lay down on the bed to slip off to sleep in seconds. “She is awake and her injury is healed.” I hear my Father’s voice through the mind-link. “Thanks, Dad. I needed to hear that.” I turn my head towards Daniel and tell him about my Father’s link. He smiles at me before he kisses my forehead and I snuggle into his side. “I know I already said this, but I regret not being honest with her. I have been asking myself the same question over and over again, but I can’t find an answer to it. Why didn’t I tell her that I knew who her Mate was, I didn’t have to tell her everything. But I should have told her I knew and that I wanted him to come clean himself, that it wasn’t my place to tell. I know she wouldn’t have liked it, but she would have accepted it.” I mumble as tears roll down my cheeks. Daniel holds me in his arms as we lay on the bed in silence and I know he has been asking himself that same question, even though he didn’t believe me completely about all four of them being her Mates. I still remember the first time I told him and I giggle as I remember the look on his face, still not sure if it was because of the fact that she has four Mates or the fact that they are his Sons.
