Love Times Four: My Stepbrothers Are All My Mates?

Chapter 278 Princess Dress

Justin’s P.O.V. “Your Highness, why take a big plate if it can fit on a small plate just fine?” Ellen asks and instead of answering her Hunter start piling food on her plate, making me chuckle as it gets bigger by the second. Ellen is staring at her plate and I tell her she will finish it and go for seconds, making Ellen’s jaw drop. Everyone that has never seen our Princess eat stares at her plate and when Uncle Todd tries to take a sausage of it she smacks him on his hand, while telling him to get his own food. She digs in while she listens to June telling her that she never ate here before. John is at the buffet with Peter and Cara when Paul shows up, “What the fuck are you two doing here? Go home, you are not allowed in the Pack-house.” He yells at them and John quickly steps between Paul and the Pups as he growls at him. “They are here at the request of Princess Hunter and unless you want her to throw you in the dungeons at the Palace, I suggest you back the hell off.” Ella growls at him while Max is standing behind her, giving Paul a murderous look. As the three of them are standing between Paul and the Pups Emma makes sure their plates get filled and she guides them back to our tables. Jax asks June what she wants to eat, while Pops asks Benjamin the same question and the two of them get food for all four of them. Ellen is finally pulling Paul away from the buffet and I can see she is talking to him through the mind-link, not that he is liking what she is saying to him. We don’t let it bother us much and it seems as if Peter and Cara have already forgotten it. “Prince Justin, do you have a Mate?” June asks and for a second I don’t know how to answer it, but with Max nearby I don’t have to worry about it either. “Yeah, he does. He doesn’t tell anyone because she scares the shit out of him.” Max says teasingly while he winks at me and I can’t help but laugh. Peter looks at Max as he says, “She scares the shit out of me too.” Daphne bursts out in laughter and I hear Hunter giggle as she keeps her face down towards her plate. Max and I just stare at one another until we hear her whisper, “He knows.” Cara and Peter both smile at me and I guess she told both of them that we are her Mates. Peter quickly asks Hunter if they can visit us at the Palace and I am grateful for the distraction it causes as June starts yelling “Can we.. Can we..” This time I am the one to answer, “Of course you can. We will discuss with your Mom and Dad when will be the best time and I know you will enjoy your stay at the Palace. I think Mom would like to see her Nieces and Nephews, just as much as Dad will.” Hunter explains to them how they are related and Benjamin smiles widely at the prospect of going to the Palace. June asks if she will have to wear a Princess dress and Max asks her what else she wants to wear at a Palace, making Cara and June giggle. They start talking what their dress should look like and I can see that Papa is paying attention to every detail, he will make sure they both have a Princess dress to wear. Hunter is telling Peter about the gardens, while Benjamin asks Jason about the dungeons. Soon all four Pups are asking questions regarding the Palace and what it is like living there, lunch passes quickly as they fire one question after another at us. Things that are normal to me and my Brothers strike them as odd and I have to chuckle a few times at the look on their faces. Hunter tells them how difficult it was for her getting used to living at the Palace and that there are still things she will never get used to. She tells them that people bow at her, something she is still not comfortable with and that they always use her title. Being raised by a single Mom Hunter always did everything herself and she still does it if she can get away with it. “Martha is our cook and she doesn’t like it when I come into the kitchen to get my own coffee or bring in dishes. She always tells me that it is her job, but doing those things myself won’t kill me and it gives her time to do something else. Not that she will ever agree with me, not even after I threatened to send her on retirement.” Jax bursts out in laughter and tells us he had been there when it happened. I can only imagine the look on Martha’s face or what her response was to Hunter’s threat, Martha has been with our family for a very long time and I hope she will be there to see our Pups grow up. To teach them how to be helpful around the kitchen and how to treat a female or their Mate. Our parents weren’t the only ones to tell us what they expected of us in regards to females or our Mates.
