Love Times Four: My Stepbrothers Are All My Mates?

Chapter 279 Law

Hunter’s P.O.V. As I had ordered him that morning Frank made sure every Pack-member was at the Pack-house and I could hear the rumors flying around as to why they had been summoned, not that any of them had been correct in their assumption. My Mates were standing on either side of me, while my friends and family stood to the left in front of the porch and Alpha Quinten and his family stood to the right. Mac and Paul were there as well with their Mates and Ellen was standing next to Frank. “Good afternoon. Thank you all for coming, even though I know you were all ordered to show up. Just so you know, I told Alpha Frank to gather you all here. I am Princess Hunter and to my left are Prince Jax and Prince Justin, to my right are Prince Jayce and Prince Jason. Almost two weeks ago your King came out of hiding and with that a few old, nearly forgotten traditions will return. One of them being visits to Packs, announced and unannounced and your Pack is the first to get a surprise visit. However there was another reason why I wanted to come to this Pack, the people to my left are my family and Aunt Sasha’s siblings informed me of a strange situation in this Pack. Giving me an extra reason to come here as it fits perfectly with my studies. I am studying Law and my current classes are on Pack Hierarchy and Succession.” I let my words sink in as I see Uncle Luke’s men move in from the corner of my eye. They keep their eyes on Ellen, Mac and Paul as I look around the crowd in front of me. “Our Laws are made to ensure that everyone is protected from harm, whether you are a High-ranking member or a Low-ranking member and they are meant to benefit all of us. It had already been brought in front of the King and the Elders that some of our Laws have been forgotten. They have been held out of study books deliberately and hidden in the deep corners of the digital Library, just to make sure that someone can’t benefit from it. Our King has granted my request to investigate who and or why we have forgotten certain Laws. As the King is my Stepfather I have the authority to carry out punishments stated in our Laws, I also am allowed to draft up any changes needed in a Law or to draft up any new Laws we might need.” Again I allow them to process my words and Max gives me an encouraging smile. “When I met Alpha Frank I knew something was wrong, but I was not sure what it was and when I figured it out I wondered why. As everyone of you knows things changed after Alpha Frank met his Mate and brought her home. He didn’t follow the Succession Law, he never intended to do so when it came to his future Beta and I think most of you know why. Truth be told I agree with him on that, a Beta with a tainted bloodline can become a liability to a Pack and no Alpha would want that.Alpha Frank took over from his Father after meeting his chosen Mate and that is where this story becomes complicated. Alpha Frank, Beta Mac and Gamma Paul don’t feel like High-ranking Wolves to me and it took me a little bit of time to figure out why. The ceremony to pass the position to the next generation was “make believe” and the only one that knew was Frank. Despite them running this Pack for over eleven years they never truly were your Alpha, Beta and Gamma.” Paul and Mac are yelling at Frank and Ellen is staring daggers at him, but Uncle Luke’s men quickly grab them before they can try to attack Frank. “After coming home with his Mate Frank began to realize that something was off, Ellen’s persistent nagging for taking over from his Father made him weary and he decided to confide in his Father. Alpha Quinten started to pay more attention to Ellen and her siblings and discovered something disturbing. Their Father had been banished from the Pack after assaulting the Beta’s Sister and through Frank he hoped to gain control of this Pack as he believes it is rightfully his, but this gets a bit more disturbing as we have found a conspiracy to take out Alpha Quinten and his Son.” I stop talking as the crowd erupts in roars, growls and shouting.
