Hunter’s P.O.V. “Princess, why don't you tell us what you have read so far and if it becomes a distraction I will pull over.” Jason says and I read the contents of both documents to them. All four of them start talking at the same time and I burst out in laughter. Jax turns around to face me and from the look on his face I can tell that he has figured out the same thing I have and I just shake my head. Jason meets my eyes in the rearview mirror and I know that he has realized it as well. That leaves only Jayce and Justin that are still not up to speed. They both turn towards me at the same time while muttering “Fuck” and I smile at them as all four of them stare at me. “I didn’t want to tell anyone before I had read all three documents, but this second one has questions running through my mind. Justice told me it was best to ask questions out loud, but I needed you to understand why I am asking them. I need to know why we are no longer taught that at the age of seventeen we are old enough by Law to consent to marking and mating. I also need to know when or why we stopped telling underaged Mates. It might have saved all of us a lot of pain and we could have had our bond in place already. I can understand if the Law needs to be changed because of something that happened involving an underaged Mate, but I don’t believe every Lycan or Werewolf should be punished because of an others wrongdoing.” I say. We talk about what these two documents actually mean to our situation and what it means to the general public, it is nice to talk about this with my Mates as my mind slowly settles down. I still have a third document to read through and I think we might have more answers or questions after I am done with it. “Jayce, if I give you my log-in code for the digital library can you try and find as much on this subject as possible?” I ask him and he pulls out his tablet. I log in to the library for him, so he can start looking in there. Justin and Jax start looking for Packs and their lineage, hoping to find some answers that way and Jason just keeps talking about what he is thinking on the matter. The four of them working as if this is normal for them and after a few moments I realize that this probably is the way they work. I smile as I open the third document and I start reading it, hoping to find some answers. This document explains why the King and the Elders made the Law on our consent age of seventeen. Prince Drew was twenty one years old when he found his fated Mate, but she had been sixteen at the time and he had a lot of trouble controlling his Lycan. He had informed his Father and the Elders about his Mate minutes after he found her and they realized quickly that having to wait until she was eighteen was going to be a huge problem. His Mate had been moved to the Palace the day after the Harvest Moon and the King had informed her of the reason with permission from the Elders. She had been shocked and reluctant at first until one day a Guard had told her she was needed in the King’s office. Prince Drew and the King had been in a meeting and someone had made the wrong remark towards the Prince, making his Lycan become infuriated with that person. The moment she walked in she understood why she was asked to come to the office. She didn’t hesitate to walk over to the Prince and without any sign of fear she had stood in front of him, placing her hand on his cheek. She had seen her Mother do it to her Father on multiple occasions and she knew that if she was able to do this than it meant that he was her Mate. Prince Drew’s Lycan had calmed down instantly and had buried his face in her neck to inhale her scent, to calm himself down even further. The King and the Elders that had been present talked with the other Elders about the event and soon they had come to the conclusion that they needed to hear from the Prince and his Mate what their thoughts were on this. The Prince and his Mate told them that they wanted to be together and start building a bond, but they both also understood that it would be difficult to keep from mating and marking as their bond would grow deeper. After deliberating for days they finally agreed on seventeen as being an appropriate age for consent, but the Elders wanted to make sure that no one could take advantage of this Law. For that reason they put in the conditions and the death penalty.
