Love Times Four: My Stepbrothers Are All My Mates?

Chapter 265 Crumble

Hunter’s P.O.V. I walk in front of my Mates, but he doesn’t acknowledge my presence at all, “Alpha Frank, I am Princess Hunter.” I say loud enough for everyone to hear me and to give him the chance to rectify his ignorance. He looks at me for a second before he turns back to Jayce. “Prince Jayce, what a pleasant surprise to see you here. If we had known we would have prepared a few things for you and we would have made sure your room was in order.” He says as he bows his head. Jayce growls and I see confused looks on all their faces. A male on the front porch is shaking his head and I can tell from the familiarity between the men that they are related, my best guess is that the male is the former Alpha, Quinten. He apparently is aware of the correct protocol as he starts talking while walking down the steps. “Forgive my Son for his ignorance, I don’t think he read the message send by the Elders or he would have shown you the respect you deserve, Princess Hunter. Your Highnesses, our staff is already taking care of preparing some rooms for you on the Alpha floor. They are also preparing rooms for your Warriors, but I am afraid they might have to share a room. As for lunch that will be ready in an hour, if there is anything you want or need just let me know and I will take care of it.” He says as he bows his head to all of us, one at the time. “Former Alpha Quinten, thank you. I think we all could use something to eat and as for the rooms I doubt it will be a problem if some of them have to share a room. If you don’t mind I would like to walk around a bit as I read that you have an amazing forest surrounding your Pack territory.” I say as I smile at him. Alpha Frank responds before his Father can, “I don’t think it is smart for a little girl to walk around this Pack by herself…” I interrupt him from speaking, “Alpha Frank, I might be a girl and only seventeen at that. But I can assure you that I am capable of kicking your Warriors assess. Besides I had no intention of walking around by myself, I actually want you to accompany me and answer any question I have. We have less than an hour so lets get going.” I say as I gesture for him to lead the way. Through the mind-link I ask my Mates to entertain the Beta and Gamma. I ask Emma and Ella to get our stuff out of the SUVs and to compare our books on this Law. I ask Matt, Victor and Max to help them out and to keep an eye on them. Everyone acknowledges my request and I turn to follow Alpha Frank. He seems a bit reluctant to show me around, but a stern look from his Father makes him bite his tongue and I get this feeling that the former Alpha is more in control of this Pack than his Son is. It almost looks as if Alpha Frank holds no power at all, I don’t feel the Alpha aura surround him as it surrounds Dad or Uncle Drake. I ask him questions I know are common knowledge and he answers them without hesitation. He seems relieved I don’t ask any difficult questions or questions that could cause him trouble if he answered them incorrectly. While we walk I make sure we get guided towards Aunt Sasha’s cottage and I am stunned at what I see. Every cottage we passed along the way had a well taken garden out front and the cottage itself was well maintained. However the cottage of Aunt Sasha looked as if it could crumble at any moment. “I hope this one is unoccupied.” I say to Alpha Frank, but I had already asked Aunt Sasha to listen to his answer and Uncle Todd would step out if he lied to me. “There is no one living here, until we have fixed every problem this cottage has.” Is his answer and then Uncle Todd walks out, while Aunt Sasha stands in the doorway with Peter. “Alpha, to what do we owe this visit?” Uncle Todd asks and I see sheer panic on Alpha Frank’s face. “Are you living in this cottage, Sir?” I ask him and he answer affirmative. “I am Princess Hunter, would you mind if I looked inside for a minute?” I ask. Alpha Frank tries to object, but I just ignore him as Uncle Todd gestures towards the cottage behind him. “Ladies, one of you can accompany me inside, the rest of you wait out here with Alpha Frank.” I say as I walk towards Aunt Sasha.
